You can’t walk around town without pants—you’ll get arrested for indecent exposure. And you can’t play basketball without sneakers or you’ll get a rusty nail in your big toe. Also, wear gloves when pounding salt or you’ll get blisters the size of tangerines. Pretty good legal, biological, and utilitarian reasons to pick your attire with prudence, right? But for the Christian something more is needed.

In this episode, Chris and Kyle talk clothing, the res publica, and the common good. Elegance and expression are gifts and blessings. But obsequiousness and risqué provocation are devil's play. As Christians, we must embody and encourage modesty, beauty, and style. So trash the band's vulgar t-shirt. Burn the speedos. Toss the Crocs (but seriously). And boycott Abercrombie and Fitch.

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.
