Your Other Family ·

2021/03/12

The beginning of a new year often leads us to new physical fitness routines (including starting one). But so many of us have difficult relationships with working out: wounds from high school locker rooms, daunting equipment, comparing ourselves with the other men around us, and ultimately dissatisfaction with our own bodies. Are these hard things worth pushing through? Join Tom, Ryan, and Matt for a topic Matt's been wanting to do for quite some time. We share our journeys with physical fitness from

Your Other Family ·

2021/02/12

Gender identity isn't something we've been brave enough to tackle on our podcast -- until now. Join Tom, Ryan, and Jacob as we welcome Dr. Preston Sprinkle to the show to talk about his new book, Embodied: Transgender Identities, the Church, and What the Bible Has to Say. We talk about the challenge and hospitality of using people's pronouns, the layered concept of what some would say it means to be "truly trans*," the spectrum of gender dysphoria, masculine and feminine stereotypes, intersex

Pieter Valk joins us for a discussion on monastic or intentional community, with particular regard to his Nashville Family of Brothers.

YC070: Attraction

Your Other Family ·

2020/11/20

What even is attraction? Is it only physical, sexual, and romantic? Or is it something more? Something that can be platonic yet intimate, something more nuanced and layered? Join Tom, Ryan, and Jacob for a discussion on attraction: the varying types of attraction, the difference between physical and sexual attraction, and whether it’s okay to experience attraction – even romantic – for your friends.

We're back to answer some amazing YOBBERS questions from our "Side A" Friends podcast from a few episodes back.

YC066: Manliness

Your Other Family ·

2020/09/25

When do you feel manly? When do you feel not at all manly? Is "manliness" even something worth pursuing? Join Tom, Ryan, and Jacob for a return to one of our "classic" episodes in which we discuss opening pickle jars, killing cockroaches, camping out, working out, owning a home, and so much more on this simultaneously shallow and deep topic of manliness.

Your Other Family ·

2020/08/28

It only took us 64 episodes to talk about celibacy! Join Tom, Ryan, and Jacob for a discussion on sex, singleness, marriage, healthy sexuality, and this mystical notion of "calling." How many guys in our YOBBERS group feel "called to celibacy"? We dive into our very scientific poll results and answer the question ourselves. We also look to Scripture to round out our celibacy discussion: from Genesis (what does it mean for man to be "alone"?) to Jesus' bluntness on marriage and eunuchs to Paul's

Your Other Family ·

2020/08/01

"Side A" people follow Jesus with an affirming position on same-sex sexual relationships. As Jesus-followers from a "Side B" (traditional) position on marriage and sexuality, is it difficult or effortless to forge friendships with folks who are Side A? Join Tom, Dean, and Matt for a discussion on their experiences with Side A friendships: both with friends who started out Side A and also with friends who started out Side B – only for them to change to Side A. Can Side B-turned-A friendships
