Tom welcomes back fellow FOUR-TIME retreat-goer Eugene to recap our recently held YOBBERS retreat. Eugene shares a glimpse into his artist’s process handling retreat decor like glow-in-the-dark nametags and tribe stones, which turned out a tad slimier and stickier this year. Our tribe times were the favorite block of the retreat this year, from heartfelt discussions to the new silly photo contest! Eugene also catches us up on a new development in his life back home: joining a porn/sex support group with all straight guys.

Check the list below for links to each of the resources referenced in this episode.
We have our 100th YOBcast coming soon, and we'd love to hear from you! Call the YOBline at 1.706.389.8009 and tell us why you love our show, or your favorite episode topic, or your favorite sponsor, or anything really – we'd love to play your voicemail on that upcoming episode.

Tom hits the road and talks with longtime friend Matt in the same room! The guys cover their weekend together in the Land of Enchantment (New Mexico), from the magical Balloon Fiesta to mystical White Sands National Park and multiple church services interspersed! The guys reminisce on 12 years of friendship, affirming one another for the growth they’ve seen in the other. They also discuss straight guys in the backseat yearning for hot girls, sharing adventures with others versus going them alone, and Jesus' fulfilling the Tabernacle of old.

We open the scroll on our favorite Scripture stories once again, this time with Tom being joined by Ryan and Aaron! We discuss several Old Testament stories like Abraham and Isaac, Jonah, Hosea and Gomer, and Mephibosheth, as well as some New Testament stories like the man born blind, and Jesus and John at the Last Supper. How do these stories hit us in the crosshairs of our faith, sexuality, and masculinity?
We spend some time catching up on our summer trips after a long break! Aaron went to Yankees games and Broadway shows in New York, and Ryan survived a trip to Mexico without any sickness or sunburn.
Enjoy this second part of our big comeback episode! And please, if you would, call the YOBline before our big 100th episode celebration and let us know any favorite podcast moments or why you enjoy our show!

Tom welcomes back Marshall to talk about things DEFINITELY NOT related to the Enneagram whatsoever. Marshall catches us up with his busy life on the farm, including a major life update of a dear friend’s impending marriage. Marshall shares both the negative and positive emotions involved in this coming change to the friendship, including being asked to be a groomsman. He reads from John 3:29 and discusses his joy as a “friend of the bridegroom,” and the guys discuss the effects of marriage on a mostly single/celibate community like YOB.
Tom also debuts an exciting new prop for the ConvoCast! And he affirms Marshall as a great dancer at weddings. Listen to our full conversation below as the ConvoCast returns to its usual half-hour length with (mostly) lack of Enneagram focus!

After a summer of Enneagram ConvoCasts, we’re back with a new YOBcast! It's a two-part episode where we dive into some stories in Scripture that speak to us as SSA/LGBT+ people of faith wrestling with these matters of sexuality and masculinity. For Part 1, Tom is joined by Ben and Will to discuss Hagar, Rahab, the woman at the well, and the early church.
We also spend some time catching up with one another after a long break! Ben moved to another part of the Mitten, Will gives a strong take on instant coffee, and Tom traded his smartphone for a dumb-phone. We get a little crazy in the opening, and we also announce our next YOBBERS retreat coming this November! We'd love to see you there.
Enjoy this big comeback episode, and join us next time for Part 2 of Scripture Stories with Ryan and Aaron! And please, if you would, call the YOBline before our big 100th episode celebration!

Just when you thought our Enneagram series was finished – we're back with another Ennea episode! We promise this ConvoCast will actually be the last one on the Enneagram (at least for a good while). We wanted to tie a bow on this series by bringing back Ben, who helped kick off this series on YOBcast 095, talking with somebody who doesn't identify as one particular Enneagram type but with multiple ones.
This final episode of the series is for the "Enneagram wanderers" and "Enneagram prodigals" – those who find themselves bouncing and searching among several types, and those more apathetic (or perhaps antagonistic?) with the Enneagram. We hope this broader conversation on decision-making, vices, and virtues resonates wherever you stand with (or even against) the Enneagram!
We start the conversation by diving into the three intelligence centers, as Ben tells us how he uses his heart, his head, and his gut as a maybe Two-Six-Nine. Tom also shares times when he's extended beyond his Four's heart center to utilize his head and gut – including how YOB's very formation in 2015 was rooted in that gut instinct. We close the episode by talking about the nine vices and nine virtues of the Enneagram, including anger at the church, avarice among other men, and our journey with lust and sobriety. Indeed, we really can glean something from all the types, not just fixating on our own.
Does Ben finally decide on his Enneagram type by the end of the episode? Listen below and find out! And thanks for all the support for this series. After a nice long break, we'll finally be back with a new YOBcast next time!
