In this episode, we are talking about work. We all work - it’s what consumes the best waking hours of our days for nearly the entirety of our lives. No matter who you are or where you live, whether you gain income from it or not - work is a reality for all of us.
Recently, as a result of the "Great Resignation" and the "Great Reconsideration", along with record inflation and job insecurity, we're all asking questions about what we're doing for work and why we're doing it.
So, how do we view the work that put our hands to day in and day out?
Join your hosts Linda Tokar and Brandon Bathauer as they explore three stories about work...The Incomplete Story, The Misguided Story, and The Often Untold Story. We will dig into how these stories, these narratives, dramatically shape our work, and ultimately, our lives, seeking to find God's Grand Story amidst it all.

In the world we live—America particularly—freedom brings up lots of emotions, questions, thoughts, and concerns. “Give me liberty or give me death” stirs up the hearts of all of us. William Wallace crying out “Freedom” at the end of Braveheart will always give us the chills. Why? Why does freedom matter to us, and how should we engage and live with the freedom around us?
Whether topics of freedom of speech, abortion, the legislation of drugs or weapon ownership, we are bombarded daily with questions of freedom. What freedoms should we have as a society, and more, what should we do with the freedoms we currently have? Join us as we talk through what would Jesus say as he stands amidst this noise and says, “whom the son sets free is free indeed”.
Join your hosts, Linda Tokar and Brandon Bathauer, as they discuss different views about freedom, and the ramifications of buying into these views.

There’s a lot of stuff that we disagree on, but there’s one thing that is almost unanimous…things aren’t what they’re supposed to be. The world is broken. The question we need to wrestle with is what do we do in this broken world? Do we strive, try harder, put more trust in our institutions, in technological advancements, in ourselves? Or do we throw our hands up in the air and give up, resigning ourselves to the fact that things are just unfixable and will always be this way? Or is there a different way forward?
Join your hosts, Linda Tokar and Brandon Bathauer, as they explore the nature of this broken world, and how we can engage with it.

Have you ever heard someone say… the truth will set you free? We all have, and it does, but not in the way you might think. What truth are we talking about? And what is it setting you free from? In this episode of Found, your hosts, Linda Tokar and Brandon Bathauer, explore the nature of truth and how it has been interpreted and applied in mainstream culture, by some in the church (churchianity), and then, finally, how Jesus talked about truth.
