Official Average Boy Podcast #92
August 30, 2024
Average Boy gets a birdie! No, he's not golfing; he's birdwatching with his grandfather. Of course, they are riding in a golf cart because that's how you birdwatch in Texas. Speaking of Texas, they get attacked by Texas-sized mosquitos before actually seeing a goshawk! It's a crazy adventure that ends with questions from listeners on how to get more into the Bible every day and whether a friend can be trusted with a secret.

October 25, 2024
Getting picked on in gym class is no fun, and so is getting picked last for a team. Average Boy experiences both of those things when the gym teacher has the students play a wild game called, "Crab Soccer." At first this makes AB crabby, but then he makes a goal in a way you might expect—proving that everyone has different talents. Bob and Jesse also play a joke and questions from listeners, which leads Jesse to sharing a recent journey he took in the footsteps of the apostle Paul.
