    Sondae and Jesus Image’s Jessica Koulianos

    This week — after the crew discusses summer vacations, cruise classes and the Jersey Shore — we talk to Jessica Koulianos, co-founder of Jesus Image, about what it actually looks like to go deeper with God instead of just consuming more church content. In RELEVANT Buzz, Team USA has turned the World Cup into a faith story, and we get into Steven Spielberg's new film ‘Disclosure Day’ and the surprising amount of room it gives to faith.  In RELEVANT Recommends, we talk to Christian R&B artist Sondae, whose new album is a must-listen. In Slices, scientists are trying to find Noah’s Ark, and a pastor preached for 96 hours straight to chase a Guinness World Record. Then your feedback closes it out with the things everyone loves that you just don't get: matcha that tastes like grass, smash burgers, Hey Dudes and yes, we get distracted by your unusual usernames. Highlights: 00:00 — Intro: Alaska cruises, classes and Jesse's classy Jersey Shore vacation 14:03 — RELEVANT Buzz: Team USA's faith goes viral at the World Cup 21:55 — ‘Disclosure Day’ and what aliens would do to Christian belief 30:31 — RELEVANT Recommends: Sondae on his vulnerable new album 'Boy' 36:23 — RELEVANT Conversation: Jessica Koulianos on real intimacy with Jesus 50:33 — Slices: Drilling for Noah's Ark near Mount Ararat 55:29 — The pastor who preached for 96 hours 59:02 — Your Feedback: Things everyone loves that you just don't get 1:07:14 — Outro Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    Episode 1305: Andy Mineo & Wordsplayed on Magic and Bird 2, How CHH Has Changed and Derek’s Net Worth

    Andy Mineo and Wordsplayed are back as Magic and Bird, and tell us all about the sequel to their 2017 cult classic album. We also get into the state of Christian hip-hop, why nobody is vetted anymore, and spend a genuinely uncomfortable amount of time guessing Derek Minor's net worth to his face. In RELEVANT Buzz, the SBC voted to ban women from the pulpit and it wasn't close. Victory Boyd forgave Travis Scott and ended up in the studio with him. And Pharrell started his Christian rap era with a Voices of Fire song called "The One." In Slices, someone claimed a religious exemption from using AI at work, and Derek has decided it might be the greatest finesse in history.  We also stop to mark World Refugee Day with an eye-opening conversation from the frontlines of Sudan about the world’s largest humanitarian crisis happening there.  Then One Has to Go closes it out: a suspiciously cheap dollar slice, Rambo in 2026, and the case against Shaq. Highlights: 00:00 — Intro / Derek’s frustrating tech updates  10:42 — RELEVANT Buzz: Victory Boyd & Travis Scott go from lawsuit to collaborating 14:08 — The SBC votes to ban women in the pulpit  17:23 — Pharrell's "The One" with Voices of Fire  20:38 — World Refugee Day: the crisis in Sudan with World Vision’s Grace Mavhezha  25:13 — Slices: A religious exemption to not use AI at work?  29:36 — RELEVANT Conversation: Andy Mineo & Wordsplayed on Magic and Bird 2  36:24 — The state of Christian hip-hop  40:16 — Putting Derek Minor's net worth on blast  51:51 — The five-week album rollout and why nothing breaks through anymore  56:24 — One Has to Go 1:07:40 — Outro Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    Philip Anthony Mitchell on the Gospel's Urgency, Plus Derek Breaks Christian Hip-Hop — Ep. 1304

    This week 2819 Church pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell joins us, the Atlanta preacher whose sermon clips have taken over your feed. He tells us why he buried his old church after losing everything during COVID and why he believes the church is running out of time to wake up. Before that convo, the guys recap a week off the grid in Montana that turned into a grown-man sleepover built around 80s action movies. We also get into how one offhand comment on Derek's "You Can't Say That in Church" podcast set off a week-long Christian hip-hop firestorm, and the unbelievable fake commercial made in response. In Slices, dozens of mystery people keep climbing out of New York City manholes and nobody knows why. And a cop ticketed a woman for texting on her phone, even though she had a very convincing reason why she wasn’t guilty.  Then your feedback about hills you’re willing to die on closes it out! Highlights: 00:00 — Intro and Montana recap: the trip turns into a grown-man sleepover  03:10 — 80s action movies and their 45-minute dialogue-free montages  14:50 — How Derek broke Christian hip-hop 23:33 — Derek's petty clout commercial  29:52 — Slices: NYC manhole mystery people  38:00 — The cop who ticketed a woman with no right hand  47:44 — RELEVANT Conversation: Philip Anthony Mitchell of 2819 Church  57:44 — Your Feedback: Hills you'll die on  Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    Episode 1303: Johnnyswim, Plus Scottie Scheffler's Faith & Some Mel Gibson ‘Resurrection’ News

    This week, Johnnyswim joins us to give an exclusive look at three major projects they’re about to release. The duo has had a very busy couple of years, and surprisingly it’s not been all about music.  In RELEVANT Buzz, we bring the recent update on Mel Gibson's The Resurrection of the Christ and get some inspiration from PGA great Scottie Scheffler. In Slices, a Cybertruck owner tests his freedom by driving straight down a boat ramp into a lake because Elon said it could float, and Joey Chestnut got into some legal trouble after a recent eating contest win. Jesse has the latest. Then we have your feedback on movies you saw way too young, and this week’s Question of the Week: What's a hill you'll absolutely die on that most people think is ridiculous?

    Episode 1302: Brooke Ligertwood, the Two Kinds of Churches Actually Growing & What Drake Says About the State of Music

    This week, we talk to Brooke Ligertwood about her new album ‘Eat,’ which is unlike anything she's put out before.  In RELEVANT Buzz, we break down new data that highlights where the Church has actually been growing over the last decade — and where it hasn’t. We also tell the story of the e.l.f. Cosmetics co-founder who gave away his fortune and is becoming a priest. Plus we have a look at the new Moses limited series on Prime Video starring Sir Ben Kingsley. (It’s impressive.) In Slices, Jesse has some thoughts about kamikaze dolphins, and the cast of course opens the show with thoughts on the new Drake albums, which leads to a fascinating conversation about what’s been wrong with the music industry and our thoughts on where things are going.  This week’s Question of the Week is based on the ‘Thief In the Night’ post we had this week: What's a movie or show you watched way too young that you now realize was completely inappropriate (and your parents probably had no idea)? Drop your answer in the comments on YouTube or reply on our Stories on social — we're reading our favorites on next week's episode.

    12 mei

    Episode 1301: Comedian Anjelah Johnson-Reyes + Christian UFO Expert Timothy Alberino

    Comedian Anjelah Johnson-Reyes joins the show to talk about her new special "Ugly Baby" and how a joke-writing class at her church kicked off her stand-up career. Then Christian UFO researcher Timothy Alberino comes on to make sense of the Pentagon's newly declassified UFO files. The cast walks through why aliens, demons and military tech are three different conversations most people are lumping into one, where the Nephilim theory in Genesis 6 fits in and why none of this should rattle anyone's theology. Alberino's book "Birthright" is worth a read if this rabbit hole calls to you. In RELEVANT Buzz, we also break down the American Idol finale, where all three finalists this season (Jordan McCullough, Hannah Harper and Keyla Richardson) are outspoken Christians. Plus comedian Jay Pharoah's conversation with Tamron Hall about the insane experience he had while committing to read through the Bible last year. In Slices, Derek tells us about a black bear in Gatlinburg that clawed its way into a bakery for some cinnamon rolls, and Jesse tells us about a CPR instructor that went into cardiac arrest and was saved by the students he was teaching CPR to. "One Has to Go" closes things out with 2000s R&B, sequels better than the original, phone-era nostalgia, all-time athletes. Then it's the debut of the Editorial Question of the Week: Is it OK to turn down a friend's wedding party invitation just because you know it's going to be expensive? Drop your answer in the comments or @ us — we'll read our favorites on next week's episode. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
