    The Church Needs To Talk About Mental Health | Episode 53

    Episode 53 gets real. Sawyer Smith sits down with Brandon Clarke for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had yet... mental health, anxiety, depression, isolation, burnout, and the stigma surrounding it in Christian culture. Why do so many believers suffer silently? Why do men feel like they have to “deal with it” alone? And why did God tell Elijah to rest instead of simply “having more faith”? This episode dives deep into: • Mental health in the Bible • Anxiety, depression, and faith • Isolation and community • Rest as a gift from God • Why asking for help takes courage • The importance of renewing your mind • Breaking the stigma around counseling and vulnerability If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, burned out, anxious, isolated, or spiritually exhausted... this conversation is for you. You are not weak. You are not alone. And you are not less of a Christian for struggling.

    You Will Meet Opposition | Ep. 52

    In this episode, we walk through Acts Chapter 13, the start of Paul and Barnabas’ first missionary journey and one of the most powerful chapters in Acts. We talk about spiritual opposition, rejection, church hurt, calling, fasting, waking up early to spend time with God, and Paul’s sermon explaining how Jesus fulfills the entire story of Scripture. This conversation also dives into: Why following Jesus often brings resistance The difference between religion and relationship How God uses imperfect people Paul and Barnabas facing criticism and conflict Acts 13:48 and the deeper questions around salvation and belief One quote that stuck with us: “You’re not trying to get in the Bible… you’re trying to get the Bible in you.” We hope this episode encourages you to stay faithful, keep seeking God daily, and continue sharing the Gospel boldly, even when it’s uncomfortable. Scripture Focus: Acts 13

    Episode 50: The Gospel Is Bigger Than Your Circle

    What if the biggest thing limiting your faith is your circle? In Episode 50, Zach Bennett and Sawyer Smith walk through Acts 11 where Peter is questioned for stepping outside what was normal. Then it becomes clear: God moved. The Spirit fell. And it wasn’t who they expected. This episode starts real with everyday life, then turns into a deeper challenge. Are we following God or just protecting what’s familiar? “If God is doing this, who are we to stand in His way?” You can build a crowd around a personality. You can grow a following around a message. But you cannot turn people to the Lord without the hand of the Lord. Is your circle smaller than the Gospel? Come on and step outside of it.

    Episode 49: Showing Honor

    What if honor isn’t just respect but what you truly value? Sawyer Smith, Bryan Stansbury, and Logan Welch unpack a raw and honest conversation on honor, from faith and family to leadership and everyday life. They explore why honor must be chosen, how it shapes influence, and why you can only receive from what you recognize. Because in the end, what you place the most weight on will define how you live.

    Episode 48: God Doesn’t Fit Into Your Box!

    God does not fit into the limits we create. In this episode, Zach Bennett and Sawyer Smith walk through Acts 10 and the story of Peter and Cornelius. A moment where God challenges assumptions, breaks traditions, and calls for obedience. Peter is forced out of everything he has known. Through a vision and real life encounter, he learns that God’s grace is not limited to a specific group of people. This episode explores: • Obedience even when it does not make sense • Wrestling with God and learning to trust Him • Breaking out of religious routines and mindsets • Loving people outside your comfort zone It is not just Cornelius who is transformed. Peter is too. A real and honest conversation that will challenge the way you see God, people, and obedience. Read Acts 10 and dive in with us. Come on.

    Episode 47: Is The Bible Real?

    In this episode of Come On! Truth in the Trenches, Zach and Sawyer hit record at 6AM, tired, unfiltered, and ready to just have a real conversation. What starts off light with barbecue debates, a missing cat, and ChatGPT quickly turns into something deeper after a comment challenges their faith: how can anyone actually believe the Bible? Instead of arguing, they lean in. This episode dives into: Why belief in the Bible can sound crazy from the outsideThe tension between faith, evidence, and personal experienceReal and honest doubt, even as believersThe impact of transformation and why testimony mattersComparing religions and asking hard questionsHow to respond to skepticism with empathy, not angerWhy following God is not always easy, but still worth it Zach and Sawyer are not scholars. They are learning in real time, having raw conversations, and sharing what they are discovering along the way. This is not about winning debates. It is about seeking truth, staying humble, and loving people even when you disagree. Because at the end of the day, the question is not just “Is the Bible real?” It is what it means for your life if it is.
