Episode 516: What Will it Take to Reach Gen-Z for Jesus? W/ Gabrielle McCullough (Harris Creek Baptist Church)
How do we effectively reach Gen-Z for Jesus? Is there a common denominator between Gen-Z'ers that fall away from the faith, and those that don't?
In this episode Ben and Chad talk with evangelist, disciple-maker, and bible-teacher Gabrielle McCullough who works closely with JP Pokluda of Harris Creek Baptist Church.
They learn from her story how powerful the life of a young person transformed for Jesus can be and the impact they can have for the gospel on the world around them through simple obedience.

Episode 515: Smartphone Addiction, Mark Driscoll, and Phantom Leg Vibrations
Are our smartphones killing our faith? Do we need to take drastic steps to protect ourselves from their misuse? Were Mark Driscoll's actions out of line at the Stronger Men's conference?
In this episode the regulars cover these questions, amid the broader topic of our current smartphone addiction and epidemic, in light of author Jonathan Haidt's new book, The Anxious Generation.
David also shares about his disdain for a phone's Airplane Mode function, and an ominous occurrence of phantom vibration syndrome.

Episode 513: What If God Doesn't Want to Heal Me?
So often our culture in the church sets people up for failure with expectations of prosperity, healing, and after coming to Jesus, when the truth is that this is just not the reality to be expected.
David and Ben ask the question of whether or not healing is a guaranteed part of being a Christian, or if God might sometimes have greater plans for redeeming our suffering.

Episode 511: Bad Therapy, the Mental Health Crisis, and the Solution No One Is Talking About!
Is modern therapy making us all worse? Has the church adopted the secular mindset of medicating its way through the normal hardships of everyday life? In many ways it seems we've forgotten the healing power of the gospel, and the restorative power of the Holy Spirit.
In this episode the regulars weigh in on this controversial subject, after reading through popular journalist Abigail Shrier's new book, "Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up."
