Three guys walk into a hotel room in Brazil, clip mics onto their t-shirts, and start excasting. All heaven breaks loose. They start talking about everything from Dante to Milton, iPhones to Jamaican rum. Their focus, however, is on discipling desire. What should a Christian crave? How to do you train a toddler to only see the Tree of Life, and to ignore what God has said is forbidden?

In this episode, Chris and Kyle are joined by Rev. Dr. Nick Barrett. Nick is a long-time friend of Kyle's—they studied at Fuller Seminary together and were in the same public theology program and cohorts. Nick hops on to share his work and interest in the phenomenon of desire and how it should inform our theology of creation. Gut cackling, pedantic nerding, and galvanized sipping ensue.

Two Pour Spirits is a podcast of Project : Neighbor. Project : Neighbor is a theological think tank and spiritual training ground for the Church and the common good. We think theologically about everything from soil to sky, and disciple believers from crib to casket. We draw widely from the catholic Christian tradition, are ecumenically-oriented, and practically-minded.

Project : Neighbor is co-directed by Kyle David Bennett and Christopher Cimorelli.
