It's fair to say most Christians know how to use their hands. They raise them in worship, help grannies with their groceries, and shovel their in-laws' driveway. But handfuls of Christians turn pagan when they promenade in public. They don't know how to use their feet in the thoroughfare. It's so bad, they really should add "and forgive us for trespassing and stepping on our neighbor's tulips" to their daily confession time.

In this episode, Chris and Kyle instruct errant primates in how to be social in their steps. Specifically, how to steward and share sidewalks. They rant about negative neighbors with their mountain bikes riding down the middle of the sidewalk and pestiferous pedestrians walking their pugs oblivious to image-bearers and strollers. Gross. We can do better. Walk better. Neighbor better.

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.

Our roads and highways are designed and governed with a particular end in sight. A metaphysics, with a telos, if you will. Everything matters—placement, movement, speed, and focus. Each aspect contributes to either the opening of the majestic floodgates of celestial bliss or the ushering in of the flaming brimstone of the infernal regions. Simply put: your steering is either salvific or satanic. Which is it?

In this episode, Chris and Kyle discuss negative neighboring behind the wheel. Like the obvious: quit cutting people off, weaving in and out of traffic, and tailgating. As well as the oblivious: speeding distracts others, and dawdling on the freeway will get someone killed. So get that screen out of your face, have a jovial presence, and turn the other cheek when you're flicked off. Vehicular communion is only a few simple steps away.

One has beer, the other has popcorn. One aims at stimulation, the other makes you soporific. One has bleachers, the other padded seats. One calls forth engagement, the other demands silence. One rolls out the carpet for the spectator, the other screams "only auditors welcome here!" Knowing the difference between the two will lead you to love or hate your neighbor.

In this episode, Chris and Kyle do a phenomenology of public entertainment establishments. A Christian will make different moves watching a high school football game than viewing a blockbuster at the cinema. She'll sit for a lecture in the auditorium differently than she'll listen to a symphony in the concert hall. She even knows how to watch a family movie in her musty basement.
