Steven and Mark on A Hidden Life
March 04, 2020 05:00 - 30 minutes - 27.5 MBThis week we have a chat between Mark Douglass and Steven Manuel on Terrence Malik’s film, A Hidden Life. We have so few examples right now of men who truly stand up for right even when they are standing all alone.

But a movie recently came out that gave us a fantasic example of what it looks like to be willing to play the oppositional role, while subm...

BlogPod: Why Deny Yourself?
February 26, 2020 05:30 - 11 minutes - 10.9 MBWe are just closing the books on an annual family tradition in which we spend as little money as possible through the month of February. LoDoFeb, as it’s been dubbed, is our rhythm of intentionally saying no. (And, heck, it can be yours, too. Matter of fact, we recommend it. You can have LoDoMar or LoDoNov for all I care, but you’re going to have to deal with more than 28 days of it if you do. Sorry.) As with any form of asceticism, I’m always a bit relieved when it’s over (because I can ge...
