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. What we do at the table—our discussions, deliberations, and "dinner doxologies"—are shaping the moral and spir...2025-05-081h 11
Two Pour SpiritsHomemaking and the Common Good: The Front Porch and BackyardYou may put a lot of time and thought into how you present things inside the home–like the inspirational quotes on the walls and the fluffy toilet paper in the guest bathroom. But what about loving your neighbor around and surrounding the home? Should we put up that political sign? Should we slap devils on all our windows at Halloween? Can we really love our neighbor and cultivate the common good with our porches and patios?In this episode, Chris and Kyle discuss the "outdoor" aspect to homemaking. They recommend simple steps for making ro...2025-04-251h 01
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. Whether you live in a house, dorm...2025-04-101h 03
Two Pour SpiritsFriendship for the Common GoodYou have to know their middle name. And maybe not what they ate for dinner last night, but definitely what makes them tick and irks them. And their birthday. And the names of their kids, if they have any. And a willingness to say, “I can’t do this on my own. I need your help.” You earnestly want to read their book and you would willingly lay down your life for them. In this episode, Chris and Kyle ruminate on friendship, and reflect on their decade+ of friendship. It’s a friendship of familiarity, trust, reliability, and relat...2025-04-0452 min
Two Pour SpiritsNeighboring for the Common GoodA Christian marriage and family is good for our neighbors, not just for us and our spouses and kids. It witnesses to a coming Kingdom full of covenantal communion, not leftovers of rotten relationships. A Kingdom full of trust and hope, not loss, disappointment, or shame. A Kingdom of neighboring, and the best kind of space and room, in which we find sacrifice, security, and fulfillment. In this episode, Chris and Kyle discuss how family practices bear on the neighborhood. Whether it’s walking with the kids, holding hands in the backyard, cleaning the porch, shoveling the nei...2025-03-2654 min
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. They discuss the obligation to have kids (if you can), the pitfalls and selfishness of careerism, how children are good for...2025-03-1659 min
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. We come up empty. Consumption doesn’t work. Strolling through the store doesn’t make us happy—it makes the insatiable even more uncomfortable. Don’t let your “negative” emotions march you down to the hell of capricious indulgence. Fill your heart with what can fill it. In this “excast” (excursus podcast) episode of Two Pour Spirits, Chris and Kyle talk about consumerism and our cultural craving to be full. Why do we...2025-03-0647 min
Two Pour SpiritsSex for the Common GoodWhat hath the Spirit and the Son to do with sex and society? It's a question that will make the pious cringe, but will make the private quarters of the home thrive and the public square flourish. Sex is good. Say it out loud: "Sex is good." But how, when, where, why, who, what? That matters. OnlyFans, Pornhub, incelism, and the "impurity spiral" ain't going to get us there. In this episode of Two Pour Spirits, Chris and Kyle talk about what you do in the bedroom trickles into the classroom and (possibly) into the White House. T...2025-03-0252 min
Two Pour SpiritsMarriage and the Common GoodWhen 2.5 million women are on OnlyFans, others identify with the four Bs movement, some have committed to "boysobriety," men are addicted to pornography, dads are abandoning their kids by the dozen, college bros commit to becoming incels, and elementary school kids are now talking about “the rizz,” a conversation about the family and marriage is in order. We are far, far off the path. In this episode of Two Pour Spirits, Chris and Kyle launch the second season by discussing the benefits the family has on society and the nature and purpose of marriage. To the Christian, marri...2025-02-2253 min
Two Pour SpiritsThe Four Ps: Following Good ProcedureIn this final installment of "The Four Ps," Kyle and Chris discuss sticking to the script and disagreeing with laser-tight focus and order. It can be done, and they proffer a few suggestions. Like: You can't be jumping around topics like a wild kangaroo or opening the can of worms at 10 p.m. right before bed. Especially if you've had a few drams of Maker's Mark Cask Strength. Don't be dumb. That's not going to end well. So join Chris and Kyle in this final episode of Season One of Two Pour Spirits...2025-01-1650 min
Two Pour SpiritsThe Four Ps: Picking the Proper PlaceChris and Kyle continue in their four-part series on the "Four Ps of Disagreement." In this episode, they chat about the obvious: If you can't hear people, you can't disagree with them. But also, if you have to stand for two hours. If the thermostat is turned up to eighty degrees. If the walls are painted pink. If grizzly bear sightings are a possibility. It's a no-go. Disagreement will not be achieved. Because place matters. The room has to be conducive to the heat of the argument. It has to be comfortable when things get un...2025-01-0845 min
Two Pour SpiritsThe Four Ps: Choosing the Right PersonContinuing a four-part series on the "Four Ps of Disagreement," this episode tackles the thorny issue of picking the right people to disagree with. You can't disagree with everyone—you don't have enough time, breath or brain power. But you also shouldn't disagree with everyone. Some aren't worth it. In fact, the wise and caring thing to do would be to dismiss or ignore them, as mean or unkind this might sound. Join Chris and Kyle as they discuss the best kind of interlocutor and the worst of the worst, including that nasty Inter...2025-01-021h 04
Two Pour SpiritsThe Four Ps: What's the Point of Disagreement?This episode begins the last series in Season 1—a four-part series on the "Four Ps of Disagreement." Why disagree (point)? Who should we disagree with, and who should we avoid like the plague (people)? Where should we disagree (place)? How do we do it (process)? This is a focused summary and detailed application of all that Chris and Kyle have discussed in Season 1 regarding disagreement. If you are looking for the "Cliff Notes," this is it. Download, study, and get ready for the exam at Christmas dinner. Politics and religion, here we come. 2024-12-1948 min
Two Pour SpiritsThe Virtues of Disagreement (Part 4): HonestyCan we be honest for a sec? People don't get honesty. They can't really define it, and they don't comprehend how essential it is to any relationship. Honesty isn't truth-telling or forthrightness. It carries a different posture and tightens relationships differently. There's more affection, more involvement. Honesty is kinda like really important. For having a clear conscience. Praying to your Creator. Having and keeping friends. And confessing your sins. Join Chris and Kyle as they discuss honesty and its place in achieving disagreement in this eighth episode of Two Pour Spirits. htt...2024-12-121h 07
Two Pour SpiritsThe Virtues of Disagreement (Part 3): CourageCourage is the topic of this third installment of The Virtues of Disagreement. Having to defend your argument for Christian Nationalism in front of a political pundit or asking what “indefatigable” means takes some courage. Disagreement can help with this. But fighting off jellyfish doesn’t count. And being afraid of flies makes you a pusillanimous. And running into a burning building might just be tomfoolery. And ranting about cultic churches on Facebook is just dumb. So what is courage, and how does disagreement cultivate and refine it? Join Chris and Kyle as they disc...2024-12-041h 06

Two Pour SpiritsThe Virtues of Disagreement (Part 2): HumilityIn this second installment of The Virtues of Disagreement, Kyle and Chris discuss humility and how it can be cultivated in and through disagreement. But humility has got a lot of doppelgängers. Like a soft form of narcissism with a fake ID, and a false modesty that tries to wear humility's hat. Both are posers. If you're looking for the true manifestation of humility, besides Jesus, look no further than John the Baptist. He gets it. "Mission over Me" is the motto. Join Chris and Kyle as they discuss humility in this si...2024-11-2056 min

Two Pour SpiritsSpecial Episode: Being Mindful of DignityChris and Kyle are all about chasing down the Devilish Disagreers and setting them straight. But in light of recent events, Chris and Kyle were feeling the unction to talk about dignity. Christians care about the sacred, and we care about the worth given by the sacred. Because our neighbors are created in God's image, they have dignity, they have worth. It's difficult to remember this in the midst of an argument. Our brain gets focused on winning. Our body gets warm and we find ourselves yelling and shouting and resorting to ad hominem jabs. 2024-11-1458 min

Two Pour SpiritsThe Virtues of Disagreement (Part 1): PatienceThey dealt with Disagreeable Disagreers. Everyone gave three cheers. Disagreeable Disagreers are literally the worst. And everyone despises them. But now Chris and Kyle have to convince their own traditions and tribes that disagreement can cultivate Christian character. That it's good for the Church. The "dynamic duo" will spend the next four episodes discussing the virtues of patience, humility, courage, and honesty. In this first installment, they examine patience. If disagreement is about arriving at understanding, then we have to listen to others. And listening takes patience.Join Chris and Kyle as t...2024-10-2855 min
