This episode we talk about our focus during the holiday season. We are about to begin the Advent season and there is so much that is trying to compete for our attention, but without intentional focus we allow our attention to drift where advertisers want instead of where the Word wants. It's funny that Josh asked us at the beginning about expectati…

Before people get too committed to arguing on social media about the holidays, specifically Halloween in this episode, let's look at the history. Typically, a lot of people look at holidays culturally, but not historically---usually absent of a Biblical view. There is no decision or activity that has NO effect on our souls, whether we feel it or no…

There has been much controversy over who is the leader in the home, but that is not what we are tackling today. How to we submit to one another in the fear of the Lord as husband and wife?

Have you taken one of those quizzes on Facebook that tell you which Disney Princess you are? Maybe we are not all a type of Disney princess, but we are all wired a bit differently and that's okay! You may have taken different tests to see what "type" of person you are, or why you do things the way that you do. Maybe you are able to get a general id…

There are not many things more frustrating than someone telling you how to grieve or what grief even looks like. Grief will touch every person on earth in some form. How we grieve is something we need to have a revelation of from scripture. We also need to know how to grieve with hope before the time comes that we experience it. Saying that grief w…

The Word says we do not grieve without hope. However, it doesn't say that we don't grieve. The point of this is not to avoid pain, but to feel it well. It is important to maintain an eternal perspective when we are going through grieving the loss of a loved one. In everything, we need to stay grounded in the Word. Staying connected to Jesus through…

We either overthink reading the Bible or we don't really think about it at all. Neither is good to start a habit of reading the Bible, right? My friends and I talk about, well--a lot of different things, but we had a great conversation about reading the Bible. There's a lot of different opinions about how to read the Bible, but it's mainly a story.…

The past is the past, but it's not irrelevant! Your past might be cheesy, especially if you grew up in the 90s, but it is still important! It is good to look back and ask yourself why you do what you do. What shaped how you make decisions? Jacob talks about the coaching he got from his dad, Tyler is sad that he never won a "Kenny" in a youth film f…

Tyler tells a story of how he got in trouble with me when I was his basketball coach and you will never guess what Tyler did to get in trouble. 🤔 I also may have handled it a little dramatically. Then Josh tells the tale of the time he got a C on a school paper, which is surprising but how his parents responded was important! These stories and more…

In today's episode we discuss "the season of waiting". We often live our lives in the waiting, wanting to get from "here" to "there". There are very few moments in life when we are "there".
