As our friend, Bob, says in the introduction to each conversation, Welcome to the LingerLonger podcast! Whether you found us in your own searching or someone recommended us, we are grateful that you have stopped by our "cafe" to listen in as I try to stop talking long enough for Don to answer the questions I ask about things that are on my mind.

A long time ago, while I was telling a friend something that had happened to me, he asked a question that could likely be described as the theme of my life, "Is there a point to this story?" We do hope that my ramblings and Don's knowledge take you on a journey you will enjoy or that will at least get you thinking and encourage your faith.

The idea for the podcast started over coffee one morning (thus the groggy voices and the references to the cafe.) As we were wrapping up talking, so we could get on with our day, I realized that what we had shared (well, what Don shared) was something that I thought others might find interesting, and perhaps even helpful, to consider. We both like listening to sermons and documentaries and other broadcasts that offer thoughtful perspectives about life and faith (and, for Don, anything to do with history) so we prayerfully decided to add our voices to the mix.

You can find more content at our website lingerlonger.cafe (yes, DOTcafe) but for now, we'd love for you to pull up a chair and join us.....]]>enChristianityCopyright Don & Lyn Bennetthttps://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/6b2f164fd0bdf84ae955f4cb0e377076.jpghttps://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lingerlonger-podcast--5649500Sun, 09 Feb 2025 01:13:09 +0000Don & Lyn BennettDon & Lyn Bennettdbgenome@gmail.comCasual cafe conversations between Don and Lyn Bennett....

Lyn's three: Carrie and twin sons Alex and Davis. 
Don's three: Graham, Ria, and Barrett. All are married with children (which makes Lyn's children happy because it lets them off the hook for a while for grandchildren.)
