    Ep 256: Skip Heitzig: What If Bible Reading Had No Guilt? | Levi + Jennie Lusko | Hey! It's The Luskos

    Most people hit Leviticus and bail, so Skip Heitzig built a flight plan that gets them all the way to Revelation. Levi and Jennie sit down with their spiritual father to talk Soaring Above It All, a 365-day devotional with no dates on the pages (miss a day, so what?), plus the sermon-as-a-ladder lesson and why young Levi looked like a future pulpit or prison case. Bonus: Chip Lusko and his razor-blade tape editing, and a round of Lies or Truth with Skip's bibliography.   Connect with us on social!

    Ep 255: Sissy Goff: What Do I Say When Kids Ask About Death? | Levi + Jennie Lusko | Hey! It's The Luskos

    Your kid sobs one minute and asks to go play the next, and nothing is wrong with them. Counselor Sissy Goff explains why children grieve in doses, like holding their breath underwater, and why even a six-month-old feels the loss. Levi and Jennie share the ice rink moment when two-year-old Daisy spotted a girl with Lenya's hair, plus Levi's one complaint about Sissy's new book: it wasn't written 15 years ago. Bonus: slalom water skiing at 32 mph.   Connect with us on social!

    Ep 254: Luke Lezon: Not Ready Yet? Show Up Anyway |Levi + Jennie Lusko | Hey! It's The Luskos

    At 17, Luke Lezon marched into his mom's furniture boutique and announced he didn't believe any of it. She didn't even flinch. Luke joins Levi and Jennie for the story of a 10,000-person Bible study at Texas A&M, a wife he met on Twitter, and how a church split put a 28-year-old young adults pastor in the pulpit every Sunday. Plus Levi looks up what "Gig 'em" actually means, and it is way more violent than anyone expected.   Connect with us on social!

    Ep 253: Stasi Eldredge: Is There More to Knowing Jesus? | Levi + Jennie Lusko | Hey! It's The Luskos

    When John Eldredge met Stasi in drama class, his opening line was "Don't mark me absent." Forty-three years later, Stasi joins Jennie to talk about the monastery bells that pause her ministry's day twice daily, the loss of Brent Curtis just as Wild at Heart was taking shape, and trying on the sentence "I fail, but I am not a failure." Plus a look at her brand new book, The Ladder of Love, out now.   Connect with us on social!

    Ep 252: Strings & Heart: When does faith become your own? | Levi + Jennie Lusko | Hey! It's The Luskos

    Some kids get stuck doing the dishes. The Espinosa brothers, Angelo, Michael, and Eric, got music lessons as their chore, so when big brother Angelo pitched starting a band, the answer was a hard no. (Spoiler: they're Strings & Heart now, and they're on a rocket ship.) The Tucson trio tells Levi and Jennie how Jesus made their faith their own, why their first "youth camp" gig was in someone's backyard, and how Angelo moonlighted as their totally legit booking agent, Jonathan.

    Ep 251: Josiah & Trinity Queen: What If They Say No? | Levi + Jennie Lusko | Hey! It's The Luskos

    Josiah Queen and his wife Trinity join Levi and Jennie for their first joint episode — and it's a good one. They trade the story of how a ping pong ball to the back turned into a marriage, get into the making of Josiah's viral hit "Amazing", and Trinity opens up about the year she committed to sharing the gospel every single day — including the time she gave a total stranger her favorite necklace. Plus: a first look at Josiah's new album and a surprise book announcement.   Connect with us on social!

    Ep 250: Bryce Crawford: How Do You Stop Living in Shame? | Hey! It's The Luskos

    Ever feel like the first year of marriage is supposed to be miserable? Bryce Crawford — six months in and still figuring out how normal couples argue over finances — says that's a lie. He talks with Levi and Jennie about wrestling shame from his past, finishing his Liberty University Bible degree from a tour bus (Lightning McQueen Crocs and all), and why he's taking his ministry back to outdoor college campuses this fall. Also: the story behind his Jesus-branded energy drink, Praise, and a very strong opinion on the Star Wars sequels.   Connect with us on social!

    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!
