Cinder and Hops

Today is EPISODE 3 of SEASON 2!! My cousin and I begin the conversation of what evolution is. It is an interesting beginning to a longer conversation (to come later!).  Enjoy the conversation, and forgive me for the less than normal audio quality - I was driving and using a new system to record this episode! But I am tired of waiting to find time, and I miss talking to people - so there you go!

I thoroughly enjoyed this chat, and hope you will too! Be sure to follow us on social media (FB, IG) and give us a 5 star (*****) review! As always, if you have any epiphanies, comments, disagreements, or thoughts hit us up on social media or email me at cinderandhops@gmail.com!

Today is EPISODE 2 of SEASON 2!! Alex and I have enjoyed talking about the intersection of faith and politics in the last two episodes (Christian Anarchism & Election Day chat). Today we tackle it a little more specifically, looking at the current American political sphere, while also addressing it specifically from our faith in Christ.  Enjoy the conversation, and forgive me for the less than normal audio quality - I was driving and using a new system to record this episode! But I am tired of waiting to find time, and I miss talking to people - so there you go!

Today is EPISODE 1 of SEASON 2!! And what better topic than the day that has been plaguing Americans since... 2016?? Election Day 2020! I had the privilege, nay the HONOR, to talk with my buddy Alex Haney to hear his thoughts on - and shoot the breeze about - this incredibly divisive day!  Enjoy the conversation, and forgive me for the less than normal audio quality - I was driving and using a new system to record this episode! But I wanted YOU to have this discussion before the results come in!

Tonight is a FIRST for Cinder & Hops! Two big changes, that are only obvious if you are watching... Elizabeth, the guest, is there IN HOUSE with us! Another fun aspect is that my beautiful wife is an extra special guest! We talk about how Christians have lost much of the imagination that used to be a part of our daily understanding. Enjoy the conversation, and forgive me for the change in audio halfway through. This is the second time we attempted this episode, and even this one had a number of issues to work through. The audio was due to the mic messing up halfway through, without me realizing... Regardless though, enjoy the chat!

I thoroughly enjoyed this chat, and hope you will too! We have this conversation recorded in a video as well - available on Facebook and YouTube!

For the third After Hours episode, I bring you some of the chat that came after my cousin and I talked a few weeks back. Unfortunately the call got weird, and I lost the audio just under 30 min in, so we both didn't get to officially end our points - but, like real life, sometimes we just have to move on and have conversation again later! 

Faith is never easy to talk about, but remember here on Cinder & Hops the goal is to engage in conversation. To grow. To learn. And to keep having those conversations! 

Tonight we have a fun conversation with Ian (from the FIRST After Hours episode). We have one of those conversations we all have when sitting with a friend late at night, just shooting the breeze. Hobbies, good drinks, tobacco, and then some really fun chats about things going on now. Read below for the podcasts that we give shout outs to!

Tonight we are chatting with my cousin, Kevin about what faith is! This topic is definitely not something easy to nail down, and everyone has their own opinion.

Welcome to another "After Hours" episode!

Listen in with an open mind. Listen and keep talking. I am not the expert on this, I won't have all the answers, but we need to be able to talk about what we see in this world.
