Love Thy Neighbor
This week on SoapBox Lex, Eric and Paul throw out the usual format and dive headfirst into a real-life situation that hit a little too close to home. What started as a loving father posting a proud Facebook post quickly spiraled into a heated online exchange when a neighbor took an unprompted—and deeply rude—shot at Eric’s teenage daughter.As the post gained attention, the situation escalated. What seemed like a questionable opinion at first began to feel more politically charged, and the tone only got more aggressive as friends, family, and even strangers stepped in to defend her. Instead of backing down, the neighbor doubled down—raising bigger questions about online behavior and how quickly things can spiral in today’s digital world.Eric and Paul unpack the situation: the emotional impact of seeing your child targeted, the temptation to engage (or not), and the blurry line between free speech and basic human decency. They also explore how politics can seep into places it doesn’t belong—and what happens when people stop seeing each other as neighbors and start seeing each other as enemies.🎧 Tune in and join the conversation at https://soapboxlex.com

What if your kids don't believe what you do
In this bold and unfiltered episode of SoapBoxLex, Paul and Eric dive headfirst into a question that hits every parent a little too close to home: what do you do when your child passionately embraces beliefs that clash with your own—religiously, politically, or both?Do you stand your ground? Do you step back? Or do you risk saying the wrong thing and pushing them further away?Paul and Eric don’t shy away from the tension. They explore the uncomfortable reality of raising independent thinkers in a world flooded with influence—from social media to peers to culture at large. The conversation gets real about control vs. connection, the fear of “losing” your child ideologically, and whether unconditional support has limits.Expect honest takes, a few disagreements, and plenty of moments that will make you ask yourself: Would I actually handle this as well as I think I would?If you’ve ever wondered where to draw the line between parenting and personal belief—this episode is for you.🎧 Tune in and join the conversation at https://soapboxlex.com

Is Eternity Too Damn Long?
In this episode of SoapBoxLex, Eric throws out a surprisingly unsettling thought: What if eternity is just too long? That question launches us into a philosophical conversation about the nature of heaven, hell, and what it might really mean to exist consciously for an infinite amount of time.Would heaven eventually get boring? Could we acclimate to Hell? Could a mind even comprehend endless existence? Is eternity bliss, punishment, or something far stranger than anything humans can imagine? It’s part theology, part philosophy, part late-night dorm room conversation—exactly the kind of discussion that makes you stare at the ceiling at 2 a.m. wondering if “forever” is comforting… or terrifying.Join us as we ask the big question: Is eternity too damn long?🎧 Tune in and join the conversation at https://soapboxlex.com

Growing Up in the 70s & 80s (with Steve Mills)
In this nostalgic episode of SoapBoxLex, we sit down with special guest Steve Mills to unpack what it really means to grow up in the 70s and 80s—and how wildly different it feels to raise kids today. From riding bikes until the streetlights came on to today’s world of smartphones, social media, and scheduled playdates, Steve reflects on the freedom, risks, and simplicity of childhood decades ago.Together, we explore how parenting has shifted from “figure it out” independence to constant connectivity, how technology has reshaped friendships and attention spans, and whether kids today are missing out—or just growing up differently. Along the way, we share plenty of laughs, a few “back in my day” moments, and some honest conversation about what we’ve gained (and maybe lost) along the way.Whether you grew up with Saturday morning cartoons and cassette tapes or you’re navigating screen time limits and parental controls, this episode will hit home.🎧 Tune in and join the conversation at https://soapboxlex.com
