Enjoyed the podcast and I was wondering if you had a link to the article on boys not working referenced on the show. Thanks and I just bought Andy Crouch’s book!

Have you seen Matthew Pierce’s blog? He also mentioned the “story” with Eugene Peterson in his most recent post, http://matthewepierce.com/the-king-david-rule/
He suggests that we make a rule where once a Christian gets to a certain age we never get upset by anything they say.
It’s a funny blog, and I think you guys might like it (at least Phil and Skye). It has a sort of stupid, over the top, satirical humor, if you’re in to that sort of thing. (My wife can only handle it in moderation.)
Best part of this, the link to Piper’s insane tweets. Almost makes me get back on twitter.
This was so good and just love your podcast always. You make me laugh out loud while I drive (thank you! :))
I am raising four sons and write a lot about this topic (media/technology) on my blog and can’t wait to read Tech-Wise family!
Aloha 🙂
PS I have also written for Jelly Telly. Love what is available there! (even if it makes my son use technology, haha…)
