- Will we tell stories in heaven? Nate says the answer is so obvious it's a dumb question. Brian tries to make him answer anyway. Instead, Nate talks about a sci-fi story he is working on in which nobody lives past age 18. Turns out storytelling is fundamental to humanity, and we should be living like it now. Then Brian brings up a related listener question about how to choose what you're doing with your life now: What happens if you're working a blue collar job but you want to go to seminary and you also want to write? Prepare for an episode of Life Advice with Nate:tm: , and you best believe he's not sympathetic to decision paralysis. Pick what you want to do, and do it. God doesn't steer a parked car. You'll often get Open Doors when you least expect it, because your life is a story, and you don't get to know what happens in the future. The conversation blasts off into a conversation about human nature and winning the lottery, and how we love to complain in the midst of richness. You'll also get to know Grandpa Kohl's slogan, "Better than I deserve," and how you should look for God's choicest wines in the cellar of affliction (Rutherford). You'll also notice we opened this week's SASF with a new song just for fun: Check out Aaron Rench's "Fences" streaming everywhere now.

Did you notice the new intro song? We swapped out Ghost of a King for one week to hype Aaron Rench's new single, "Fences," which just released. Find it on all platforms! open.spotify.com/track/3DtoaV74Jd05SgNQf870Zv?si=2782719bf2aa479d
Rench's "Fences" lyrics match this week's SASF perfectly -- posting them here:
Hey
Like a drum‘s last bang
Like a star‘s last beam
Giving everything
Nothing in between
We stealing thunder
Lightning and wonder
We might end broken
But we’re smiling
Because we were
Swinging for the fences
When it’s all over baby
And the trumpets are playing
Let’s be swinging for the fences
When the clocks have stopped
And the bells are ringing
Walking through the valley of the shadow of death
But coming home
Leave the light on
Hear all that stomping
The saints are marching
We might be leaving but we never stopped
Swinging for the fences
When it’s all over baby
And the trumpets are playing
Let’s be swinging for the fences
When the clocks have stopped
And the bells are ringing
So leave the light on
So leave the light on
So leave the light on
So leave the light on
We were swinging for the fences
When it’s all over baby
And the trumpets are playing
Let’s be swinging for the fences
When the clocks have stopped
And the bells are ringing
So leave the light on
Swinging for the fences
When our hearts stop beating
And our body’s done breathing
Let’s be swinging for the fences
When it’s all over baby
Let’s be riding on empty
Let’s be riding on empty
So leave the light on
RIP Ghost of a King... you were, and always will be, the best intro song.
My thoughts exactly
Just hyping a new summer song for a week!
Thankful its not a total replacement! Your podcast introduced me to Gray Havens, and I'm so excited we're taking a road trip from Boston to PA to see them in October. Going to Sight and Sound to see Daniel, and the next night is the concert! Thank you SASF!!
THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE PODCAST IN THE WORLD! Thank You Guys! Also why is the Gray Havens Intro gone? It was a classic!
Haha, it'll be back later or sooner.
@@storiesaresoulfood4643 Ok, haha Thanks!
This just happened: I opened a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup…I was raising it to my mouth and Nate said “…and we exist in a place where chocolate and peanut butter mix.” 43:52
We always call that "God winking at you."
Everybody commenting on the intro song, but I'm reeking over the thought of our new bodies being "like butterflies"
Brilliant
"Whatever you're afraid of. Do that."
That's surprisingly good advice for a throw-away line. Or dangerous. I can never tel the difference.
Came here while listening on Podcast to find out what happened to Gray Havens! Glad to hear its only gone for a week. 😌
kay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
Thank you guys so much for the SASF podcast always edifying and challenging. It also introduced me to the Gray Havens which has to be among the best biblical songwriters.
Always enjoy the conversation, fellows. Also, i like the shout-out for Reese's! 👍
The 18-year lifespan idea ... sounds like Logan's Run from the 70s.
This episode is so encouraging. Thank you!
Totally loved this episode!!! Thank you so much! PS if I could vote, I would vote for the old music intro which was like a signature to SASF. Thank you once again!
It'll be back soon.
It's never right to presume upon the grace of God, but even for those who have "cursed God (and wish they were dead)," God still tells Naomi stories too. "The Whole Christ" is a great book for those struggling to believe that God is good and intends to do good (not just some abstract group of people out there but) to me.
Appreciation of music is subjective of course…that said…Ghost of a King is exponentially better than the new tune…but you guys are still great!
You can enjoy both. Ghost of a King will be back soon...
I planted a plot of wheat in my yard and it has seemed to attract a bunch of dragon flies!
Must be enjoying something that's enjoying the wheat!
Please bring your 18 year lifespan idea to fruition! 🤯
I'm digging the lyrics of the new opening song! To be honest, as much as I like Gray Havens, Ghost never really matched the vibe of SASF.
Edit: Ah, so the change is temporary?
Yes, just for eps 159 and 160.
