A search for meaning with actor Nicholas D'Agosto

This week we're joined by actor Nicholas D'Agosto to discuss his journey from Catholicism to secular humanist. He's the star of "Trial and Error" on NBC, played Harvey Dent in "Gotham," Hunter Raymond, Jan's assistant in "The Office" just to name a few. Nicholas is a fascinating and thoughtful man and we're grateful he made the time to join us. This was a great discussion about making sense of the world around us from two differing world views.

 

Nicholas also hosts his own podcast , God & Other Delicacies which can be found on Itunes, Stitcher, Spotify and all the other good places people get their podcasts. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-other-delicacies/id1493009534 He can also be found on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nicholasdagosto/ or @nicholasdagosto and on Twitter https://twitter.com/nicholasdagosto @nicholasdagosto. 

Hot Topic - UFO's & Jesus follow up

After our great conversation with Craig Coleman, we revisit our conversation and break down some of the parts that have stuck with us. 

UFO's & Jesus - A conversation with comedian Craig Coleman

This week we're grateful to talk with actor/comedian Craig Coleman. We dive deep into his evolving faith journey and have a lot of laughs along the way. This conversation is an example of meeting people where they're at and engaging in honest conversations about Jesus. Buckle up for a fun and interesting ride with this awesome dude! 

This Pastor Paints Houses

In this Hot Topic, Dan and Jared explore the Christian worldview implications of Martin Scorsese's mob epic The Irishman. Will Dan and Jared embrace a life of crime in the underworld? You'll just have to listen to find out!

A Triumphant Return or The Empire Strikes Back

After a long hiatus we are back! Sorry for the long absence but this episode will explain everything...almost everything.

Hot Topic - Fast Food Blessings

Sometimes in the midst of deep theological discussions it's easy to get sidetracked by the thought of delicious fast food. This is one of those times...Warning: Don't listen to this episode if you're hungry!

When Times Get Tough

This week Dan and Jared welcome Pastor Johnathan Colby to the show. Among his many other accomplishments, perhaps the most impressive is that he was able to survive being Jared's roommate in college...impressive. Johnathan discusses how his faith has carried him through some pretty challenging times the past few years. His story is encouraging and a great example of Christian faithfulness.

Reaching Out

After a bit of a hiatus, Dan and Jared return with a Hot Topic. This week they talk about reaching out to the hurting and what keeps us fearful from doing so. They also welcome a new sponsor to the program...The AAMW. Give what you can to help those in need.

Gardening With Barry!

It's not what you think. Although we love a good Philodendron as much as the next guy, this episode is about how to tend the garden that God has given you. We're joined once again by our friend Barry Moore who is the purveyor of Toworkandkeep.com, a great website that we find really encouraging. Great episode to listen to whether you're a Christ follower or not. If you are, you will find encouragement...and if you're not you'll also find encouragement and maybe a little more understanding of how Christians think about living a life that honors God using the gifts and grace that God has given us in Christ.

Christianity & Patriotism...can they coexist?

Ok, chances are this episode is probably going to make some people mad...and that's a good thing! Jared and Dan explore their different takes on patriotism and politics and see if they can still be friends. Spoiler alert...they can because ultimately the bond they have in Christ is stronger than politics, but this conversation makes for a very interesting episode. Good conversations to have!!
