Hey everybody, Just a quick note here on the main feed to say that we just got back from Theology beer camp in St. Paul, Minnesota. This is coming out Thursday. I got back Sunday night from that trip and during Beer Camp we recorded a live Generation Gap Culture Hour. This one featured a whiteboard behind my head that I did not really look at closely until after the session. And so I have some wonderful photos that friends in the audience sent me of me speaking very earnestly into the microphone with some dry eraser black devil horns right behind my head. Also, somebody had written instead of Generation Gap Culture Hour, I think it was Generation Guru Culture Hour or Guru Gap or something like that. A reference to an old phrase amongst this community. I think from primarily Facebook discussion areas where we use this hashtag for a while. Notmyguru. Notmyguru. Because I was trying to. I talked about this a lot more earlier. Earlier years on, you have permission, the old name of this show that I'm trying not to be a spiritual guru. I think that's a little clearer now because I just leaned into the psychology and therapy stuff where I have genuine training, expertise and licensure. But in the past, before I had sort of that to lean on or lean into, I would talk about not being a guru. Anyway, it was really fun. But one of the things that we decided to do for that event and that we'll probably do every year, we did it one or two years as well, one or two years ago as well, is we just decided to not put any of it on the main feed of the podcast to have the entire thing be sort of this more in person behind the paywall, meaning we can say totally what we want but also just more informal. And I think it captures a little bit of the spirit of in person conversations, which really are different. They are different than the things that I record, you know, over Zoom or whatever. For this podcast. I love doing those. I feel like the media format of a zoom interview over an audio podcast is something that I'm totally comfortable with. I like making the show that way. I like listening to shows like that myself, other shows. So no problem there. But there's something different, something cool and different about being in person. And so we're going to honor that. And this is to just say, normally we have, you know, 20 to 30 minutes of those GGCH episodes at least up on the main feed. To give you a sense of what Josh, Tony and I are talking about as we look at things through the 26 year gap between Josh and Tony, with myself, Goldilocks in the middle and anyway, so we're not going to do that this time. This is me doing that. Some of the questions we asked, often top of my head here, we talked about Charlie Kirk. The first question that we answered, which was asked by Keith Hovey was, was Charlie Kirk one of us? Very, very cool phrasing. Lance David also asked a question about our friendship between the three of us and what we think is going on there. There's a little bit of enneagram talk toward the end and a few other really good questions. So we did entirely audience generated prompts and questions and we Talked for like 10 to 12 minutes about each of those and we kind of kept it moving. So I think it was a really good conversation. If you're kind of on the fence about being a patron, this might be a good time to pull the trigger. And if you are a patron, but you don't always listen to the Generation Gap Culture Hour episodes, maybe consider this an invitation to listen to that one. Cause I think it went well. Okay. Honestly, I'll just.

Cause we're talking about theology. Beer Camp. I'd like to extend my thanks to Trip Fuller of Homebrewed Christianity for putting this on yet again. I think he's had done seven of them and I've been to five starting in 2017. The first one, I was there with my old Reconstruct co host John rains at the 2017 Beer Camp in Los Angeles. And I remember it was the same weekend as the first Women's March right after Trump was inaugurated at the end of January 2017. So that's how far back this thing goes. Five of them, including the last four in a row. And I can say without qualification, this was my favorite one. It's my favorite year. I think that it just keeps getting better. I plan to be there next year as well, next fall. I think they're leaning towards Kansas City, but that's not set in stone and I don't think that that's messing anybody up to say that tentatively here. Yeah. Okay. Well, coming to you here Wednesday morning from Bellingham, Washington. You'll hear this a day later. And I've just been doing some research for some fun upcoming episodes. Going to get Mason Meninga onto the show. He and I are buddies. We have a kind of a frenemy public posture where we give each other a hard time but also really enjoy hanging out and talking. And we're going to bring that in and focus it on Christian or religious, rather religion news items. So our working title for that episode is Mason and Dan's Religion News Roundup. Maybe we can come up with something funnier. But we're going to talk about Gen Z and religion. We're going to talk about clergy arrests over ICE protests, and then we've got a couple funnier kind of more human interest stories that we will get into. And I'm looking forward to it. I'm just feeling very filled up after beer camp. Honestly, this is turning into a little bit of an update and announcement sort of an episode here. So I don't know. That's not what I was expecting. But I just want to say it was so great. I met so many listeners. I met a bunch of people who do not know the show. I had great interactions with other speakers and podcasters. And I got to meet our own Joy Vetterlein, who I have been working with now for a year and a half on this show. I got to meet her in person for the first time. She lives in Orange county and I live up in Washington and we'd almost hung out once when I was down in San Diego, but it didn't work out scheduling wise. And I haven't been to Orange county since Joy and I met. Met digitally. That is. So got to hang out. Me, Joy, Josh. It was in the Minneapolis St. Paul area where Josh lives. It was so great. Just such a wonderful three, four days and I'm still kind of buzzing from it. So lots of fun stuff to come. A lot of guests and episodes scheduled through those beer camp connections ideas that I'm really pumped about. So look forward to that and thank you everybody for everything. As always.
