Welcome and Show Setup
Pastor Michael Zarling, Josh Nelson, Dr. Phil Hahn
  1. Pastor Michael Zarling

    Welcome to this episode of Men Who Understood the Times. So I'm here with Josh, who's back, and Phil, who's back because Andy had laryngitis. Uh, so our disclaimer is, uh, here we are, three guys on a Sunday afternoon just talking. Uh, and, you know, we're not representing our church body. I'm not representing my church, or Josh isn't really representing his high school, or Phil's not representing his church or his workplace. And, uh, you know, it's okay if you disagree with us on any of these topics that we discuss, but we, we do ask, you know, to communicate with us if you disagree, not to, uh, communicate around us or about us with others. Uh, our drinks. What are you drinking today, Josh?

  2. Josh Nelson

    I've got a, uh, Woodford Reserve Double Oaked. And, um, and yeah, just to, to, to that, okay?

  3. Pastor Michael Zarling

    Yeah.

  4. Josh Nelson

    Um, one of the ethos we have here is promoting conversations about dynamic and potentially contentious political topics, uh, cultural topics with Christians, with open Bibles, and so that's the ethos here. If you disagree, that's fantastic, but put it in the comments. Let's talk about it.

  5. Pastor Michael Zarling

    Yeah. Yeah. Phil, what are you drinking?

  6. Dr. Phil Hahn

    So I've got a hard cider. I home brew, so this is a home brew with, uh, cinnamon, cloves, and anise.

  7. Pastor Michael Zarling

    Oh, I, I love hard cider. Good for you. Uh-

  8. Josh Nelson

    It looks fantastic

  9. Pastor Michael Zarling

    ... and I have, I have Moostreel, so it's a, a brown ale brewed right here in Wyoming.

  10. Josh Nelson

    That- is that a... Is it Wyoming, or is that Missoula, Montana?

  11. Pastor Michael Zarling

    Oh, well, it could be close enough. Uh, let me see here. Oh, you're right, it's Missoula, Montana. We'll, we'll claim it though 'cause it's out west.

  12. Josh Nelson

    There you go.

  13. Pastor Michael Zarling

    Thank you, Phil.

  14. Josh Nelson

    Close enough.

  15. Pastor Michael Zarling

    See? But see, you disagreed with me, and you came right at me.

  16. Josh Nelson

    Yeah, there we go.

  17. Pastor Michael Zarling

    Yeah.

  18. Josh Nelson

    Yeah.
