    Ep 249: Brooke Ligertwood: What If Your Life Isn't Supposed to Be a Highlight Reel? | Hey! It's The Luskos

    Worship leader and songwriter Brooke Ligertwood is back on the couch — a third-time guest whose new album Eat sets Scripture word-for-word to music. She and Levi swap stories about the time they turned a Montana set into the moon, talk through the marriage-saving phrase "is that a final draft?", and unpack her philosophy of "iceberg life" — why the healthiest faith is 90% invisible. It ends, naturally, with wedding-night chaos and a burnt bridal gown.   Connect with us on social!

    Ep 248: Sadie & Christian Huff: What Do You Do When the Truth Gets Personal?

    Sadie and Christian Huff are back for their third visit — and three years, three kids, and one viral leech-in-a-box clip later, they're catching Levi and Jennie up on everything. They open up about filming Duck Dynasty: The Revival through Sadie's pregnancy with Kit (which wrapped the same week they said goodbye to Phil Robertson), what Sadie learned writing her most personal book yet, and the honest, sometimes hilarious dynamics of doing life and ministry as a family in the public eye.   Connect with us on social!

    Ep 247: Lisa Harper: For Anyone Who's Never Felt Chosen

    Fifth-time guest Lisa Harper is back — fresh off a whirlwind trip through England, Wales, the Netherlands, and Scotland, and still nursing the jet lag. Between hug-ministry theology, Levi's 75-day merino wool shorts experiment (Lisa remains skeptical), and a surprise moment praying with a stranger in a London store, the conversation turns to Lisa's new book on the Song of Songs — unpacking how the Bible's most intimate book taught her that God delights in her, brokenness and all.   Connect with us on social!

    Ep 246: David Thomas: Raising Capable Kids

    David Thomas — co-founder of Daystar Counseling and co-author of the new book Capable — joins Levi and Jennie to unpack why chasing our kids' happiness might actually be setting them up to fail.

    Ep 245: Phil Wickham: How Do You Stop Performing for God?

    Phil Wickham catches up with Levi and Jennie fresh off his Song of the Saints tour — the one where God stopped him in his tracks the night before opening night with one question: are you really letting me be Lord of your life? Phil opens up about that surrender, the inflatable rocks that gave him a stage-prop identity crisis, and the audiobook producer who wasn't a believer until eight hours in the studio together.

    Ep 244: Joel Muddamalle: The Truth About Demons, Nephilim, and Spiritual Warfare

    Dr. Joel Muddamalle is back for round three, and this time he's taking Levi and Jennie into the deep end — demons, the Nephilim, and what the Bible actually says about spiritual warfare. They talk why he's stepping back from viral reaction content in favor of long-form Substack essays, swap travel stories from Ephesus and Crete, and dig into his new book The Unseen Battle: can demons read minds, were the Nephilim real, and is Judas in heaven? Plus: Snickers bars, Nicolas Cage, and a very memorable joke about Indiana Jones.   Connect with us on social!

    Special Episode: Jon Erwin: How Failure Forges True Leadership

    Jon Erwin — the filmmaker behind Young Washington, House of David, and Jesus Revolution — joins Levi and Jennie to talk about why he spent a decade obsessed with George Washington before ever picking up a camera. They get into how Washington's worst failures actually forged his leadership, the real bullet holes that shaped his faith, and why Jon cast Andy Serkis (yes, Gollum himself) for the film.

    Ep 243: Graham Furtick: How Do You Know When to Let Go?

    He's the son of pastor Stephen Furtick, but Graham built something all his own — a Sunday-night Bible study with four friends that grew into "the living room," a movement so big the cops got called on it. Fresh off graduation, Graham joins Levi and Jennie to talk about walking away from a wrestling scholarship, the "pocket praiser" principle that changed how he worships, and bombing his very first sermon.
