Cockroach Milk and Milton Rokeach (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Patrick's out this week, so the crew runs the show's technology solo for the first time — with Nathan trying to replace Tim again. It opens with a real conversation about 9/11's 25th anniversary, then swings through classic Passages chaos: weird news, a tractor accident, and an all-time bad preacher blooper reel. This week's passage comes from The Three Christs of Ypsilanti and leads into a real conversation about the prodigal son and finding meaning. Follow us on Instagram @thepassagespodcast a
Mouth Bats and Dolly Parton (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tim's out again this week, but the crew still covers a lot: a cookie taste test, a stack of weird news headlines, a real discussion on faith and scripture in a changing culture, and a musical AI-apocalypse tangent.

Stubborn Octopus and GK Chesterton (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A McDonald's wedding, a Little League World Series pep talk, lots of lizards, Miss Universe Canada, and a whole lot more! And, of course our passage from GK Chesterton: "Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly. Solemnity flows out of men naturally, but laughter is a leap. It is easy to be heavy, hard to be light. Satan fell by the force of gravity."
Sister Schubert's and Jerry Sittser (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's a rapid-fire episode where we cover some baseball, a bad toddler on a plane, Florida Man, Kay Ivy bringing back a cult favorite, another impaling, snakes, and earthquakes. And, of course our passage from Jerry Sittser: "It is not what God does for us that demonstrates his greatest answer to prayer; it is what God does in us. God wants to change us to his liking, not to change the world to our liking."
