R-E-A-L.

Hey guys, welcome to the Real Life podcast where we talk about exactly that every single week,

real life, which means some episodes might be about a fight we just had. Some episodes

might be about potty training since we have two toddlers. And some might be about eschatological

realism because I love thinking and talking about deep theological things. And maybe we'll

talk about all three of those in one episode. But we hope the show feels like hanging out in our

living room with us, drinking a cup of coffee as we discuss faith and family and culture and Jesus.

Me and my lovely wife, Alyssa, are your host, and don't hesitate to hit us up or reach out on social media to say hi or comment on this week's episode.

Enjoy. So enjoy.

Hey guys.

Welcome to this week's episode.

Man, we have had actually a lot of fun.

I was actually nervous about doing some reruns.

Well, first of all, let me tell you why we're doing the reruns.

We did the reruns because I don't know if you follow me on Instagram or social or whatever,

but like Alyssa's been doing edits of her book that just got due. So she's a little bit steps ahead. I just turned it in my first draft of my manuscript like three days ago. So it's just chaos, all hands on deck in the Bethke squad family. And let's just be honest, we didn't have much to say. And so I don't want to say things that are just for fluff or whatever. and so I had the rerun idea. And it's been really fun because actually the more I thought about it, most people, they're not even basically reruns because people like listen to them years ago. And you don't remember what you listened to years ago unless it was maybe really impactful. And then to pick some of the best and biggest ones based on your guys's feedback has been really fun too. So all that is, this should be the last one for a little bit,

because we turned in our book this week.

And so we should be back on track next week, back on YouTube and stuff like that. Hopefully, all the back to normal goodness. Thanks for the grace. Hope you guys. This episode is another fun one. What's up, guys? I'm Jeff. I'm Alyssa. And welcome back to the real life podcast.

We're stoked to you guys are here.

And as usual, we're going to jump right into it.

But real quick, if you're watching on YouTube or Instagram or wherever there's video and it looks like I'm crying, I'm not. I just put in some eye drops. We had a really emotional pre-talk before this podcast. I've actually never seen Jeff cry. Well, no, I don't do like, I've never bald. I've never done the B-A-W-L.
