We like to hide our feelings in our hunger. To get lost in our craving. Until we indulge it in consumption. But that’s when we come up short. We come up empty. Consumption doesn’t work. Strolling through the store doesn’t make us happy—it makes the insatiable even more uncomfortable. Don’t let your “negative” emotions march you down to the hell of capricious indulgence. Fill your heart with what can fill it.

In this “excast” (excursus podcast) episode of Two Pour Spirits, Chris and Kyle talk about consumerism and our cultural craving to be full. Why do we willingly introduce our desires to things that we know won’t hit the spot? We are built to have full bellies, but why do we fill them with all the wrong things? Why do we feel compelled to want something when we have everything? The curse hits harder than we think.

What hath the Spirit and the Son to do with sex and society? It's a question that will make the pious cringe, but will make the private quarters of the home thrive and the public square flourish. Sex is good. Say it out loud: "Sex is good." But how, when, where, why, who, what? That matters. OnlyFans, Pornhub, incelism, and the "impurity spiral" ain't going to get us there.

In this episode of Two Pour Spirits, Chris and Kyle talk about what you do in the bedroom trickles into the classroom and (possibly) into the White House. The private will always make splashes in the public. The connection and communion that transitions from a rib can make or break a republic. Sex has a purpose. Do it in the right way. Do it for the common good.

When 2.5 million women are on OnlyFans, others identify with the four Bs movement, some have committed to "boysobriety," men are addicted to pornography, dads are abandoning their kids by the dozen, college bros commit to becoming incels, and elementary school kids are now talking about “the rizz,” a conversation about the family and marriage is in order. We are far, far off the path.

In this episode of Two Pour Spirits, Chris and Kyle launch the second season by discussing the benefits the family has on society and the nature and purpose of marriage. To the Christian, marriage isn’t a mere custom—just something people do. Nor is it a contract: "If you commit to this, then I'll stay with you." It’s a covenant—a covenant the whole way down. But what is a covenant?
