When we go out in public, we take our mouths and tongues with us. We can't leave those at home. Unfortunately, some people talk in public like they are at home—in the man cave, with the good ol' college buddies, throwing out obscenities and profanities at the top of their lungs. All the while, the twin cousins who just turned four can hear everything. Come on, dude.

In this episode, Chris and Kyle talk about speaking in public and how Christians should do it. Is profanity acceptable at the bar? Is vulgarity permissible at the football game? Can we speak the truth (Ex. 20:16), not give offense (2 Cor. 6:3), and still employ "colorful language?" What are the auditory norms and verbal expectations we are setting every time we utter a word "out on the town?"

Welcome to another episode 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.
