Must you always act like Uncle Screwtape in the aisle? Do you have to storm the register like an ogre, or steal that parking spot with unconscionable disregard? There's cutters and those obnoxiously chatting away on their phone as they pick up every item of produce. And those who are convinced grocery carts are bumper cars. We get it. But a trip to Brooks Brothers shouldn't end in mortal combat.

Modern stores aren’t in the Bible, but there is a Christian way to roll through them. There's a Christian way to be a shopper, and there's a Christian way to buy. In this episode, the dynamic duo are back with some suggestions. Like, practice simplicity; think of others when clearing the shelf; have a list and follow it; don't covet; and honestly reconsider whether “Prime Day” is rotting your soul.

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 Kyle David Bennett and Christopher Cimorelli
