  <description>Guest Cohost Chris Bartlett joins Taylor to discuss the frustration of not being given parameters within which to work, how that works when they're invited to speak somewhere &amp;amp; topics they typically don't share about. For example, Taylor doesn't usually speak about Mary because it isn't his strongest topic, but he tests out some new material on Chris to see if he should expand his horizons or stick with the status quo (que High School Musical)
Then, Taylor finally has a worthy challenger for Freestyle Preaching. The guys take turns giving 60 second sermons on the spot where they have to include three random words given to them by their challenger. Can these two guys who have been giving random youth ministry talks for decades rise to the occasion?
Finally, Chris bring up a situation that got brought up in his family in regards to nostalgia. This leads to a conversation about the Care Bears &amp;amp; Taylor has to hold back the tears. Because of the Care Bears? You'll have to listen to the end to find out ;) 
Listen to "Old Church Basement", the song Taylor discusses in the final segment on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/5j4EazAPhtFyHhwNpbNzEx?si=aa87cb18f4764a59
