This week we start off with discussing the growing business of "rented parents/significant others" for those life moments when you need a stand-in (Think of the movie "The Wedding Date"). Our main topic is all about loving ourselves and what we've done to help see ourselves as something other than terrible. All of us have made mistakes and at times think back on the things that we're not proud of. Many of us have faced moments in life where we're not happy where we're at either emotionally or situationally. How do we love ourselves in those moments or when we're struggling with viewing ourselves negatively? Tune in as we delve deeper into the importance of self-love.

This week's discussion is everything from the return of Jelena (AKA Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez), the 500th Anniversary of the Protestant reformation, and our main topic: Uncomfortable Christianity. Whether you are a Christian or maybe someone observing Christianity from the outside, sometimes our view of this faith can be obstructed by the loudness of differing opinions and even the new rules that are made everyday. Our conversation revolves around Brett McCracken's article: 8 Signs Your Christianity Is Too Comfortable. While we wish we had an infinite amount of time to discuss every point Brett addresses, we try to pinpoint some that have resonated with us as we work out our faith and who God has called us to be.
