The Thinklings Podcast — Episode 301

Hobbit Types, Diner Mugs, and Wholehearted Love for the Lord

Welcome to Episode 301 of The Thinklings Podcast!

This episode begins with the Thinklings choosing what kind of hobbit they would be: cozy hobbit, seven-meals-a-day hobbit, gardening hobbit, adventure hobbit, or party hobbit. After that, there’s a quick reminder about the Thinklings Diner Mug giveaway, a Books & Business discussion, and a final meditation from God’s Word.
