Patreon Unlocked: Lynnterview II

Hi friends. We are back with a very special episode of Adventures in Ideology.

One year ago today, our mother Lynn passed away after a courageous battle with gallbladder cancer. Before she got too sick, we interviewed her and shared it on our patreon. We are sharing it here today to honor her. In this episode, we have a very vulnerable conversation about her cancer journey, and life journey, including the abusive marriage she was in for almost 40 years.

We miss our mom more every single day and think it is so important to share her story.

31 – By Heresy, Noah

Adventures In Odyssey Album 4 Episode 1 – By Faith, Noah.

Welcome back to our newest season of Adventures in Ideology! We are so excited to introduce two new team members, Lindsay and Mitch! If you are part of our patreon, you may recognize them from our Christy Miller Series discussions, and we are pumped that they are here for some non-patreon content too! On today’s episode we discuss all things Noah’s Ark, including the genocide of basically everyone on earth. Not problematic at all, right?

Adventures in Odyssey Video #8 – Go West, Young Man

Today’s special guest is Evan, host of the Kino Lefter podcast. We talk about the Wild West and discuss the problem of empty promises. Eugene finds a nice girl and accidentally saves her life.
