episode 63: two-minute warning

When we first started, we outlined our podcast conversations around the daily liturgy - kinda. We even had an offering of sorts where we’d ask for money to support the podcast and the sponsor (themissionplace.org). But rather than having a benediction at the end, we would have a “Two-Minute Warning.”

In football, the two-minute warning represents a fast-paced offense, and an edge-of-your-seat defense. The two teams can go head-to-head, sometime playing more focused and deliberate football than in all the minutes that preceded it.

We turned that into an offense and defense speaking debate, in which the offense would speak to the proposition and then the defense would respond, one-minute each. We even used a whistle. We leave it up to you, dear listener, to determine whether it is win. lose, or draw.

In the following two-minute warnings, Cody and Craig flex their intellectual muscles. The power of reason. And the sheer determination to bend rational processing to squeeze out a victory.

Enjoy!
