22 | Feminism Part 2: The 3 Waves in Snapshots
In part 2 of the feminism series, Sam and Blaine jump into the history of feminism in the US. Starting with ancient Athens (of course), on through the Blackstone Commentaries and early American legal frameworks, this episode explores the legal, political, and cultural circumstances that gave rise to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd wave feminism. Our aim here is to answer a triad of enduring questions: what, exactly, is going on, where'd it come from, and how should we be responding?

21 | Feminism Part 1: Hegemony
In this two-part series, Blaine and Sam dive into the history of feminism. But before they can do that, they dive into the history of history - the ancient Greek world, Xenophon, the Battle of Cunaxa - to understand a key concept.

20 | Justin Rizzo: Worship, Calling, and IHOP
We love hearing about the creative journey here at And Sons, something that each of us acts out in our own unique ways. How someone chooses to pursue a calling, what choices they make, and how they keep their passion alive after a decade of plugging away all make up the story of Justin Rizzo. Part songwriter, part worship leader, part director, Rizzo's story of creativity and calling intertwine in this episode.

19 | The Body: Why Exercise Matters and Why We Tri
A longer episode with two parts within it: The first is an exploration of why the body matters, and why it should not be neglected, the second is why Sam and Blaine choose triathlon and lessons they've learned about the sport. We are beings that have multiple aspects: mind, heart, soul, body. To neglect one is to neglect the health of the whole.

18 | Adversity and Persistence: Padre, Interpretation, and How Do You Tell When God is Calling You
We use terms like "God opened a door" or "closed the door" retrospectively all the time, but how do you tell in the moment if you are being invited into something or if God's not in it? How do you know if what you are experiencing is adversity and requires you to keep persisting and fighting through or if you are banging your head against a wall? How do we walk with our choices and relationships with God in unison? Sam, Blaine, and Padre sit down to throw around experiences and moments where these questions rise to the surface, and to give room for new ways of asking what might be the point of it all.

16 | Dan Allender: On Learning to Listen, Presence, and Wholehearted Quitting
Dan Allender is no stranger in the And Sons world, nor is he a stranger to listening to people's stories.
