The topic for the podcast is Garbage in, Garbage Out.
What we allow ourself to 'consume' with our eyes, ears, mouths affects us more than we might realize.  We discussed movies, excess information - financial or news, etc.
We also explored how we need a filter to distinguish between 'garbage', harmful things and 'good', God-honoring things - and the role of the Word of God in developing and maintaining that filter.

"Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Do everything in love.."
1 Corinthians 16:13-14 ESV
