What does a Christian do with loss, change, and failure? When it seems like permanence is fleeting and the stability of your efforts is slipping through your finger tips, what do you say to yourself? Or when the veneer of everything glamorous is rotting or getting rusty, what do you say to your neighbor? What do you do when grey seems like the new gold? How do you have hope?

In this second episode of season four, on Common Grace and Communion in Culture, Chris and Kyle inaugurate a five-part analysis of various tracks from the band, First Aid Kit. This episode they discuss their song "Stay Gold." They talk about aesthetics to be appreciated, our status as creatures, and how to have neighborly hope despite loss and broken relationships.

Welcome to another season of Two Pour Spirits!

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 Rev. Dr. Kyle David Bennett and Dr. Christopher Cimorelli.
