Two Pour SpiritsRegulating for Righteousness: A Family RuleWhat happens when you take a human ear, put a splash of John Cassian in it, pour some wisbits from Hugh of St. Victor on top, and then pepper it with a little Plato? You get a podcast episode that talks about domestic disorder and patterns of fear, frustration, and freakouts. You get a conversation about household habits—parents as abbots and children as mini-monks. In this episode, Chris and Kyle explore the notion of a family Rule. A Rule is a document with instructions for a single house to monitor and moderate individuals goods within community. It...2025-07-2554 min
Two Pour SpiritsAre You Not Entertained? The State of our Screens and SoulsSpitballing, here, but perhaps leisure is a factor in the instigation and perpetuation of mental illness. Perhaps our experience of entertainment, in which we passively enjoy or amuse ourselves to death, is decapitating our attention. Maybe concerts, movies, competitions, travel, and literature are full of sneaky and sinister sins and the screens we hold have our souls in their hands. Just spitballing. In this episode, Chris and Kyle tackle entertainment in the family—basement, living room, and bedroom. They take stock of what we are feeding our feeds and why we are willingly walking in various wastelands. Per...2025-07-181h 00
Two Pour SpiritsSay You're Sorry! Siblings and Society"Blood is thicker than water," they say. What they don't tell you is that it boils much quicker and everybody gets burned. As every parent knows, sibling interaction can go from perturbation to ire and then absolute rage in a hot minute. 0 to 100. The bickering, nitpicking, and talebearing pile up. Next, you've got speed bumps and stop signs on the road to forgiveness and reconciliation. It's a mess. In this episode, Chris and Kyle explore a theology of "siblinghood" and a spirituality of sibling society. What can we do as parents to help our children interact like C...2025-07-1150 min
Two Pour SpiritsSpank for the Common Good?You like the taste the soap? Yea, me neither. But how do you know what soap tastes like? I bet your mother probably introduced it to your palate back when you were a young buck spitting swear words left and right.

Two Pour SpiritsDo You Have to Like Them? The Purpose of a ParentWhat is a parent? What is the field and domain of parenting? Do you become a parent as soon as you have a kid? Can you be a parent without having your own kid? Are parents responsible for teaching their children how to brush their teeth, or is that the dentist's job? Once a parent, always a parent? Should parents get discounts like vets? Do parents have to like their kids? In this episode, Chris and Kyle are on a "field trip" discussing the nature and purpose of parenting. Listen in as they talk about parents being m...2025-06-061h 01
Two Pour SpiritsButton Your Shirt: Clothing and the Common GoodYou can’t walk around town without pants—you’ll get arrested for indecent exposure. And you can’t play basketball without sneakers or you’ll get a rusty nail in your big toe. Also, wear gloves when pounding salt or you’ll get blisters the size of tangerines. Pretty good legal, biological, and utilitarian reasons to pick your attire with prudence, right? But for the Christian something more is needed. In this episode, Chris and Kyle talk clothing, the res publica, and the common good. Elegance and expression are gifts and blessings. But obsequiousness and risqué provocation ar...2025-05-291h 04

Two Pour SpiritsHomemaking and the Common Good: FoodCreation is dripping with communion and hospitality. It all starts with the triune God setting the table for human beings. We get to eat green leaves and chicken legs. Then the Lord becomes the very bread and wine that spiritually and physically sustains us. With every bite, we ingest layers and layers of membership. And when we eat with others, that membership transforms into fellowship and communion.In this episode, Chris and Kyle discuss eating as it pertains to homemaking.

Two Pour SpiritsHomemaking and the Common Good: Hosting Outside InfluencesPriests didn’t admit thieves into the Holy of Holies. So maybe you shouldn't let “Auntie Jean,” self-proclaimed atheist, eat at the kids' table. Jesus wouldn’t let robbers set up shop in the temple. So maybe don't invite Aaron, your Epicurean stock trading neighbor, over to have a beer in the garage. Who you are inviting into your home may be calling into question your family’s values and undermining your authority. Time to take stock. In this episode, Chris and Kyle wrestle with a different side to homemaking: hosting outside influences. To build a Christian home, paren...2025-04-171h 01
Two Pour SpiritsHomemaking and the Common Good: The HomeIt's not a hotel—just a place to sleep. It's not a cave either—a place to get away from the crowd, from nuisance. It's also more than a box with meaningful memories and memorabilia. Your home is an extension of your body, and your body is not your own, but belongs to Christ. So your house belongs to Christ. So what are you doing with it? Witnessing to Him and blessing your neighbors? Good.In this episode, Chris and Kyle mull over a Christian view of the home and homemaking.

I need your help.” You earnestly want to read their book and you would willingly lay down your life for them.

Two Pour SpiritsKids and the Common GoodOur children are not our own. They look like us, and talk like us, but they aren’t ours. They are a heritage from the Lord (Psalm 127:3). They are good gifts from God that have been entrusted to us to raise and steward. Culture doesn’t see it this way. Having children is a choice that, for some, “is not for me.” Children are seen as ornaments or accoutrements. In this episode, Chris and Kyle press the point.

Two Pour SpiritsThe Curse of Consumerism (An "Excast")We like to hide our feelings in our hunger. To get lost in our craving. Until we indulge it in consumption. But that’s when we come up short.
