How does one "friend" exactly? Faith Wake and Krista Rull here. We invited our longtime best friends Whitney Gans and Brandee Knowles for a Destiny's Child reunion and to talk about what it takes to maintain friendships as an adult. Making friends can be awkward and challenging, but we've learned that deep and honest friendships are necessary for our maturation and spiritual formation.

Why is social media? In this episode, Faith and Krista talk about dial-up internet, embarrassing email addresses and usernames (i.e. alwayzsmilez07, teen_tiger2000, etc.), growing up during the rise of social media, and its role in today's culture. Whether you love or hate social media, there's something to be said about its influence in the world around us. A definition we cover in the episode: "Social media is a worldwide highway of conversation with the sacred potential of being used by followers of Jesus to carry the message of the Gospel." Follow us on Instagram at @thirdculturepod and let's keep the conversation going! Share your social media stories and social media handles of old so we can find comfort in our shared embarrassment.

SURPRISE! B-B-B-BONUS! We (Faith Wake & Krista Rull) recorded and edited this bonus episode shortly after the release of The Pilot, and smack dab in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic. Thales Jay Wake and Royce Rull, our super cool husbands, join the conversation as we comb through how 2020 has been so far, from early talks about the Coronavirus to our Palawan missions trip to the quarantine moment we're living in at the release of this episode. We touch on dealing with Shelter-In-Place orders, social media KABOOMs, switching to church online, army crawling through Zoom meetings, recording worship sets, learning new skills, staying creative, and Marvel time heists.  Things are changing fast--federal and state mandates, job and ministry situations, this strange political climate, and more. A lot of these changes have affected us in the past week alone, so we had to release this, as Michael Scott says, "ASAP as possible." We hope this chill conversation makes you feel like you're hanging out with your friends in this weird time.  Follow us on Instagram at @thirdculturepod.

Here we gooooo! The Pilot is here and we are as ready as we will ever be. In this episode, we (Faith Wake & Krista Rull) talk about what The Third Culture Podcast is all about, what even is a Third Culture Kid, and our own TCK stories that have brought us to this point--this point right here with the subpar recording and unlimited artillery of niche boyband and fandom references. Please note: We recorded this episode towards the end of 2019 before we got really good microphones. Even so, we're still figuring out this production stuff. Don't be repelled by the pops and muffles. We hope you stick around for the storytelling, regardless of the sound quality. We hope you love it. This episode took a lot of panicked planning, should-we-do-it's and let's-just-flippin-do-it's. If you don't love it, just move on to the next thing. We don't do well with haterade. It sits funny in our stomachs. Haterade intolerance, amiright? Follow us on Instagram at @thirdculturepod.
