<description>&lt;p&gt;It’s been five years since Pam and I first moved to Tampa, Florida, so I asked her if she’d come on the show with me to talk about living here.   We discuss both the pros and cons of living in Tampa, if Tampa is the best part of the state, and then we compare Florida with both California and Hawaii.   Then my "hater" friend John had to come on the show to share his hysterical point of view on why Florida blows California away.    And finally, my friend Kris comes on to share his story of being flooded out of his home during Hurricane Helene last year.&lt;/p&gt;

BYC #61 – Five Years in Tampa:  Comparing Florida with California and Hawaii

<description>&lt;p&gt;Last episode, I brought on a couple of my friends, April Hunter and Wade Williams, and we started a conversation around the seven deadly sins.  Today is part two, and we’ll finish the conversation by covering some big ones… greed, lust, and pride. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But wait, there’s more!  After relistening to it, I found myself going into a deep dive on certain aspects of lust that I wanted to try and understand further, from a Biblical perspective.  I’m not going to say I was successful.  To say it was challenging is an understatement.  But it feels like, every time I take a deep dive into trying to understand something in the Bible that challenges me, I come away feeling closer to God, and closer to Jesus… and this was no different.  I feel like I grew, so I'm sharing that journey here after the conversation.&lt;/p&gt;

<description>&lt;p&gt;Today I’m gonna bring you a fun conversation around the Seven Deadly Sins… and how learning to avoid them can make your life better.  In order to do this, I’m bringing on two guests, April Hunter and Wade Williams.  (April, you might remember from Episode 51 about Online Dating.)  We don't claim to have all the answers.  The goal with today’s show is just to make you think, because I think the danger is not thinking about them at all.  This show is part one, of a two-part series, and covers the history of the seven deadly sins, as well as sloth, wrath, gluttony, and envy. &lt;/p&gt;

<description>&lt;p&gt;Today I'm gonna talk about my journey into church, and how I went from so angry with the church, to really feeling compelled to go. I’ll share the nervousness of that first time, and how it feels now, four months in.  I’ll also discuss some questions I’ve had and challenges I’ve faced, as well as what I learned from them. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I realize “church” can be a very polarizing topic, but I think this podcast truly has something for everyone, no matter how you feel about it ... And if you don’t think much about church at all, but you do like a good story, with entertainment, drama, humor, vulnerability, and compete honesty, you’ve got that here too.&lt;/p&gt;

<description>&lt;p&gt;We constantly hear about the importance of watching what we put into our body, but nobody ever talks about the importance of guarding what we consume with our minds.  Today, we’re going to talk on that. We’ll discuss the science of how our thoughts and behavior can be molded, without our conscious awareness.  We’ll tell a story about our major media companies doing just that.  And, we’ll talk about the many ways that the harmful media we consume can affect us. &lt;/p&gt;
