Dan's Pauline letter to his daughter
- What should Dan write in a birthday letter to his daughter as if he were the apostle Paul?
Dan shares that his daughter asked him to write her a birthday letter as if he were the apostle Paul writing to a church, something she can keep for decades. The hosts brainstorm what belongs in it — staples of who God is, warnings about coming stages of life, things that must be true forever, not just felt now — then descend into a comedy bit of sarcastic things Paul might have written his kids ('do not give your belt to Agabus', 'make thy own tent, Apollos'), plus jokes about moleskin journals and which psalm to read at a deathbed.
