This episode is (once again) SPECIAL because it's the first and last episode of the season! Before 2025 passes by, I make sure that Audio Stew receives a proper episode for Season 5. I love this show, and even though it's certainly been quiet lately, I still want to keep making content for it. I hope you all had a great year and the next one is full of many wonderful surprises amidst the chaos of life. Cheers and Godspeed! (P.S. This episode was published in Eastern Time, not Central Time.

After a near yearlong hiatus, Audio Stew is back and ready to serve up another delicious season of podcasts! All of us have been given certain talents and skills, each to be used in their own unique way. However, sometimes in life, it becomes necessary to pivot those skills into a new direction we hadn’t foreseen. Our guest today is someone who experienced this kind of pivot when he realized that God had a different plan in mind. For the time being of course. Buckle up everyone because we’re diving into politics and government. I hope you enjoy this episode. With one scrumptious “byte” of Audio Stew, you’ll be craving a second helping!

Whenever I have a conversation with one of my outdoor recreation friends, I can’t help but think of Ellie & Carl from PIXAR’s Up. “Adventure is out there!” they would always say. In today’s episode, we’ll get yet another taste of what some of those adventures hold for those who are willing to pursue them. Spoilers, sometimes adventures are less about the places you go and more about the people who journey with you. Let’s get started.

Growth only happens so far as you are willing to commit to it. Discipline and accountability are needed to mature as a human being. In this episode, our very, very special guest and I share some of the growth we experienced together in 2021. We made goals to serve the Lord, love others, and shape our lives for the better in various ways. Some went well and others not so much, but the important thing is that we worked together towards a noble task. Listen close because today’s flavor of stew will warm your soul.
