What if we…Run it Back…But in a Blog
Oh we’re back! We are so back! It is only fitting that with the podcast being back we also bring back the blog and talk a little bit about where we have been and what we have both been up to.
Firstly life is crazy. When we both started this idea of doing content creation it really was something just to add some fun and levity to our lives. We both were in the middle of transitions with work, unsure of what these new ventures would hold. As such we had a lot of time as we were first getting settled into the jobs. However as we both learned God had bigger plans in store for our jobs. In the case of Josh, he found himself working at St. John’s Church and Student ministering to the college students at Michigan State University. Between multiple late night Masses, leading a training group for student leaders, and meeting one-on-one with already trained leaders, Josh has had very little free time. In God’s deep sense of humor, Josh ended up meeting a great young woman, and to the surprise of many found himself with a girlfriend. Being the hopeless romantic that he is and wanting to make as much time for her as possible he ended up making a lot harder for him to meet up with Andrew. As for Andrew, life also had its own craziness in store. Andrew’s and his wife having with purchased a new house has had its own fair share of challenges. The joys of homeownership have included learning to be a plumber, a landscaper and electrician. Andrew has found himself in the hustle and bustle of parish life, trying to organize groups, answer emails, help with OCIA, and fight the good fight against the spirit of “it has always been this way.” All of this left both Josh and Andrew with very little time to record in person and thus changes had to be made.
Understanding now where we have been, we must look at where we are to go. We never wanted to have to take a break as long as we did and we quickly realized how much we missed talking about the podcast and dreaming about things we wanted to do with it. Together we wanted to find a way to keep doing the podcast on top of everything else, but with all the new things happening and trying to live a well-ordered life, this was one of the first things that had to be paused. So where does this leave us now? Well, by now the first podcast has dropped announcing our return and in it we outlined a new content minimum. Right now we are committing to release two hourish long podcasts a month (the 1st and 3rd Friday of each month). Along with that, we will be releasing short form video on our YouTube on the 4th Friday of the month and a new blog post on the 2nd Friday of the month. This is our content bare minimum. We want to do more to grow the social media, YouTube, and podcast and at the same time be consistent. If you want to see more, the best way to support is sharing with your friends and family! We are always wanting to improve as well so any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated.
We want to thank any one who has given us an ounce of their time. This is something we both enjoy and are blessed to share it with anyone who would listen. We hope that we can help you find just one way to live a deeper and more meaning for life. Duc In Altum! Go Deeper!
