Staying Christian
By Staying Christian
Two hip and cool young guys talk about being Christians and staying Christians. Gavin Hobbs is your average homeschooled computer-nerd/wannabe-cinematographer and Eli Chamley is a guitar-playing space nerd who hopes to one day be as great a novelist as C.S. Lewis. Together these two misfits hope their discussions about Jesus and space will encourage other members of the faith to keep on keeping on. (Spoiler Alert: They're not hip and cool)

Ep. 50 - Why Do You Follow God (feat. us)
Eli and Gavin have a "brief talk" on how they came to follow God, why they still follow him, and some of the things they've learned along the way... because they've obviously learned a lot and are basically experts on the matter. Listen or watch. Or don't. It's up to you.

Science continuously changes...as does this podcast--we hope.

Gavin discusses worship and how good it is, Eli brings 3 things that make him believe in God, Gavin brings Acts 9 and Eli talks about how some things are better in less quantity.

Ep. 46 - Boat Metaphors
In this seaworthy episode, Gavin and Eli discuss how the tongue acts as a rudder to the ship, how we can mistakenly take a piece of a God-given thing and it is not the whole, wonderful novelty, how when we are actually moving forward with God, we're bound to make waves, and Gavin brings more on Stephen in Acts.

Ep. 44 - Feelings Smeelings
Eli and Gavin blabber briefly about Dune, whacking people over the head, and "ask not what your God do for you, ask what you can do for your God". Gavin doesn't often feel God in the room but has a revelation about who the church is. Gavin brings the Acts segment with unexpected theatrics and somehow Eli depresses the both of them talking about martyrs. Uplifting conclusion?

Ep. 30 - Interview with Simchah Huizar - Couldn't Pay me to Be a Teenager Again
Interview with our latest guest Sandra Simchah Huizar
\--Excerpts--/
"He's taught me life happens for you and not to you."
"I would not be who I am today if I did not have to live through those circumstances."
"The heart of what I was doing--I'd do it again, I'd do it again."
"Not listen to the excuses you make for yourself.""Ease is not your friend"
--The Poem--
Oh, well for him who breaks his dream
With the blow that ends the strife
And, waking, knows the peace that flows
Around the pain of life!
We are dead, my brothers! Our bodies clasp,
As an armor, our souls about;
This hand is the battle-axe I grasp,
And this my hammer stout.
Fear not, my brothers, for we are dead;
No noise can break our rest;
The calm of the grave is about the head,
And the heart heaves not the breast.
And our life we throw to our people back,
To live with, a further store;
We leave it them, that there be no lack
In the land where we live no more.
Oh, well for him who breaks his dream
With the blow that ends the strife
And, waking, knows the paces that flows
Around the noise of life!
