CTN 170: Making Friendships On The Road

They never told us making friends would be a challenge. Growing up, making friends was easy - we were stuck in the same classes with the same people or we lived in the same dorms. Now? Thanks to the pandemic was may be working remotely and have more freedom to travel, but the cost can be seen in the increased difficulty to make friendships. We may have a great conversation with someone we meet - but how do we move from acquaintances to friends? And if they don't agree with you on everything - does that take friendship off the table? In this episode - we will unpack these nuances and take a closer look at how Jesus befriended others.

CTN 167: 12 Hours Trapped In An Airport

If you have heard anything about flights lately, you won't be surprised that our recent trip involved a flight cancelation, 12 hours in an airport, a flight reroute, and an additional two hour drive - just to get to our destination. In this episode, I will be sharing our story, how we passed the time, and my suggestions on how to handle it differently. We got a little emotionally worked up, and in the process - we didn't consider all of our options. I hope that this helps you if you get stuck in an airport at some point.

CTN 164: Following The Footsteps of Paul in Greece

Did you know that Paul visited at least 5 different cities in Greece, and two of them received letters that we now know as part of the New Testament. In this episode, we will take a closer look at all 5 cities, what Paul did there, and what you can see there today. As Greece is largely known for it's philosophers - it comes as no surprise that Paul spent a lot of his time discussing concepts like the resurrection with them.
