Church isn't a building, it's the people. Screw the building, we're the Unchurched.
Technology: can’t live without it. But, can it be too intrusive?
Since we can’t go to a church building…could technology provide the new church platform? The boys discuss the merits of the building vs the community of believers.
It’s been a long while since recording or even talking. The boys get back together after vacation and the holiday.
Two openly gay black guys are running for congress. Is this a first? Is this a big deal to celebrate? Shouldn’t it already be a thing if it’s not?

Sean is now a licensed officiant. And the boys share stories from the 4th.
We missed Sunday, but that’s gotta be ok. Michael shouts out his moms. Sean and Brooke go on a treasure hunt. Michael is building a new privacy fence.
Sean gloats about his new TV a bit. Michael bought a 55”. Sean went home and bought the 65”.
The boys talk about an interview from the podcast, “Ruminate”. The discussion was on what the church should look like post Covid. If it all comes down to money at the end of the day, how can you really rescope the church?
The guys give their opinion of what the church should be vs what it is today. Community is more effective than church.
Sean is back on the pod…but never actually left. The boys catch and talk about Sean’s new love for Stella.
Michael has a new Father’s Day coffee mug from the inlaws. It’s pride month, and the boys show some love.
Sean plays with his drone (not a dirty ref).
Any boy can be a daddy, but it takes a real man to be a father. Is that just as true if you say it the other way?
Michael shares his thoughts on fathers and manhood. And celebrates the relationship he has with his boys.
Michael goes solo in celebration of Juneteenth, the 155th celebration of the emancipation of black slaves in America.
He breaks down the history and gives some pointed direction on how to celebrate the day. He also discusses “white guilt” vs advocacy.

Sean is in Detroit. He brings us up to speed on his life, and weighs in on today’s current events. The boys have a great weekend catching up.
All is not bad with the world today. There are good people everywhere.
Michael’s last solo EP before a visit from Sean in the D.
We can’t stop talking about this if we want to heal. Be uncomfortable and have some difficult conversations. It’s the only way we will move forward.
