SAL Podcast, Episode 1: Apostolic Dating and its Discontents


We at Stuff Apostolics Like have been in a mood lately. Like all drama all the time. Dead eyed and serious. Trade the t-shirt for the tie and think about the meaning of life and stuff. We even did some deep soul searching of the blog itself and gazed into it's very depths and found a glaring void in the precise space one would expect to find a soul. 

And so we at SAL set out to create a shiny podcast to fill in that soulless void.

And  lo, on the tenth of February in the precious Year of Our Lord 2014, Logan T. Miles and I forged the first Stuff Apostolics Like podcast episode which you can find below. There you will find Logan and I reminiscing about the joys and pangs of dating within the Apostolic realm, musings on online dating, a discursive analysis of David's methods of seduction, and a debate surrounding the merits of Game of Thrones.

  2. long time reader, love the show. would love to hear a woman speaking on growing up in the apostolic experience if you explore similar topics in future podcasts (assuming you know any women).

  3. Sounds like a great idea. Consider this an open casting call to any ladies who feel up to the challenge. Send me an e-mail: joelrile@gmail.com. Or tweet

  4. "assuming you know any women". dying. Great show, guys. Hilarious and relevant. It also brings a little more context to the personality/tone you're using when you write each blog. Looking forward to the next edition.

  5. Stop promoting twitter. Don't pick your future female contributor from anyone who tweets you. We don't want to hear that girl's opinion.

  6. I came across this blog a few months back and like someone said on the previous post, just helps me know I'm not so crazy for having doubts and questions. I have always gone to an apostolic church but was always that outsider. My dating experiences have been very few because there seems to be such limit options for someone like me who does cut her hair and wear pants. Opposite of most girls, if a guy wants to be a preacher/evangelist/missionary I will not date them. I thought about online dating, but am not ready to go there just yet only being 23 years old. I am curious to know that if you guys are no longer really in the apostolic scene, what type of church do you participate in now? I have never left the UPC because I felt I could not find another organization worthy enough to make me switch. And can the next podcast please not be so long? lol

    1. Hey Erica, yeah we are trying to keep them to 30-45min, but first time we rambled waaay to much, we could have split this into 2 or 3 separate ones. I'm sure Joel and myself both have more stories.

      My church left the apostolic scene and it's pretty much a non denominational church now. Once I left the apostolic scene, I found myself much more compatible with a diverse range of churches.

      When it comes to online dating......you'll never know unless you try it.

#150-Holy Magic Hair (sort of)

Preface: As with many posts, the claims made in this post are far from being definitive to the whole apostolic movement. In fact I has been very surprised and pleased with the openness of many apostolic officials and higher ups to denounce the doctrine of "magic hair" as a heresy in recent months. It must also be noted that whatever controversy may be derived from this post, the thoughts are not really my own. Many men more articulate and intelligent than I have already tried to openly combat this theory and have done so in a far more effective fashion than I could. For the most comprehensive understanding of Holy magic hair, please visit  http://holymagichair.com/wordpress/ . Also note that this is not a criticism anyway in uncut hair, nor is it advocating hair cutting. I'm critiquing a doctrine that has developed around long hair. Okay, when I originally started SAL, I had a post about HMH (holy magic hair) in mind. However, after a beloved teacher of mine spoke o...

#115-Dressing Up For Church

Editor’s Note: At the Stuff Apostolics Like blogging institute that consists of a simple blanket fort made out of a giant blanket and two kitchen chairs facing back to back some 5 feet apart, we wrestle from time to time on our purpose….. Remembering to take a minute and laugh at ourselves is our number one goal. However, I readily admit that this goal can come across cynical and overly deconstructive in it’s ambitions. So today, in this blog I want to introduce to you a new wing of a blog topic that seeks to build on our understanding and not destroy… It’s the slightly informative/slightly humorous/slightly obnoxious blog entry…And with this blog entry a side purpose is to educate as well as laugh. Of course these blog types will be few and far between, but let this serve as a forewarning as to not confuse when they do arrive….. without further adieu, The age old custom of dressing up for church isn’t so aged and isn’t so old. First, there is no record of average congre...

#280-Jeff Arnold and His "Idiot" Friends.

So basically this happened last week at Because of the Times (no, not the Kings of Leon album, but the preacher's conference that was named after the album): And by "this happened" I really mean a Jeff Arnold sermon-rant to formally announce his senility. Literally, the dude was Khrushchev slamming his shoe on a podium, a rambling Richard Sherman in a postgame interview, a conservative Michael "Shame on you Mr. Bush" Moore at the Oscars. In short, Jeff Arnold pulled a Kanye in front of anyone who matters in the UPC. And it's not like we didn't see it coming . For those who haven't been paying attention to Twitter or simply got wise enough to not really care one iota about the ongoing Reality TV tragicomedy that is the UPC, let me tell ya, you're missing a whole lot of chuckle moments. But to catch you up to speed.. here's the run-down of Mr. Arnold's sermon: -Confesses aspirations to be lauded by God as one of the greatest ...
