Is anything really meaningless? How can lawn mowing teach you how to be where you are and stay there?

Today I got to visit with Bozeman's very own Jacob Rountree! Gifted engineer, photographer, philosopher, video editor...but mostly full-time professional musician. We talk about life in general and the ins and outs of being a musician in Bozeman (a great town for music btw). We ran out of time! So...part II shall ensue!

My dear wife and I talk about this disease, lupus, an autoimmune disease which has caused her a lot of pain and changed our lives forever. Not all bad though! So many blessings along the road! This episode is for talking about the ups and downs, as well as raising lupus awareness. #knowlupus

My friend James Reed and I talk about life, conspiracy theories, not trusting the government, the pitfalls of nation building, keyboards (the musical kind), rock n roll, the military industrial complex, pastoral ministry, the dynamics of rural life, and other things...while breathing heavily (we're dads). Love ya Jimmy! Check out his podcast HERE: https://open.spotify.com/show/7u3ECTFKKCKuoZdQOOXoKy?si=88baadb3d30d47f8

A nice low key conversation with my best friend, my dear wife, Val Sinnema. Do we change each other? How do we help each other grow? Forgive us...we were really tired so we may not have made sense at all.

Had a great time with my friend Rob: One of the leaders of Goners UK--Bozeman's premier punk rock band. A rad guy with a rad story! I think this is just round one! Thanks Rob!

BEWARE! AGGRESSIVE MUSIC!

This how people from Montana talk. Fainting violets beware. Special Guest: Caleb Sinnema--Ranch Man

Josh joins me for this impromptu episode where we discuss the idols of business and workaholism (after some miscellaneous musings). How do I say no? It's simple: Say no. Easier said than done...but a practice with which every people-pleaser must become more well-acquainted. It truly is a matter of life and death.
