We wrestle with theology, healing, and the wild work of the Holy Spirit—with humor, honesty, and hope. From speaking in tongues to church hurt, we’re not experts—we’re just trying to follow Jesus together. If you’ve ever felt too weird for church or too churchy for the world… you’ll fit right in.

    Episode 24: The Bible and the Holy Spirit Working together

    The Bible and the Holy Spirit Working Together Some people lean only on the Bible. Others lean only on spiritual experiences. In this episode we talk about why both approaches fall short and how Scripture and the Holy Spirit were always meant to work together. The Word without the Spirit can become rigid and lifeless. The Spirit without the Word can drift into confusion. We explore how the Holy Spirit inspired Scripture, how He illuminates it today, and how He guides believers into truth without ever contradicting what God has already spoken. We talk about discernment obedience and how to stay anchored in truth while remaining open to the Spirit’s leading. This conversation is about balance, maturity, and confidence. God has not asked us to choose between His Word and His Spirit. He has given us both to lead us into truth and transformation. If you desire a faith that is grounded, alive, and guided by God, this episode is for you. Listen and share with someone seeking clarity and spiritual balance.

    Episode 23: How to apply the Bible without misusing it

    How to Apply the Bible Without Misusing It Reading the Bible is one thing. Living it faithfully is another. In this episode we talk about how to apply Scripture without twisting it, weaponizing it, or using it to support ideas it was never meant to carry. We explore the difference between interpretation and application and why context matters more than convenience. We walk through common passages that are often misunderstood or misused and show how cultural setting audience and purpose shape proper application today. We also talk about the role of the Holy Spirit in guiding obedience and why Scripture was given to transform us, not to win arguments. If you have ever struggled to know what a verse really means for your life or felt hurt by Scripture being used carelessly, this episode will bring clarity and balance. The Bible is not a tool to control others. It is an invitation to be shaped by God. Listen and share with someone learning how to live the Word with humility and wisdom.

    Episode 22: How to Study the Bible

    How to Study the Bible Many people read the Bible, but fewer know how to truly study it. In this episode we slow down and walk through what it means to approach Scripture with intention, humility, and depth. Using the story of the wedding at Cana in John chapter 2, we model how to observe context, culture, language, and purpose rather than rushing to application or assumptions. We talk about how to ask better questions of the text, why details matter, and how Scripture reveals more when we take time to listen instead of skim. This episode is not about shortcuts or formulas. It is about learning to sit with the Word and let it shape how we see God, ourselves, and the story He is telling. If you have ever felt intimidated by the Bible or unsure how to move beyond surface level reading, this conversation will give you practical tools and renewed confidence. The Bible is not meant to be rushed. It is meant to be studied. Listen and share with someone who wants to go deeper in the Word.

    Episode 21: Discernment in a Noisy World

    There has never been more Christian content available and there has never been more confusion. In this episode we talk about discernment in a world full of opinions platforms algorithms and spiritual noise. We explore how to test what we hear without becoming cynical fearful or closed off to the Holy Spirit. We walk through Scripture to understand what biblical discernment actually is and why it is rooted in wisdom humility and truth rather than suspicion or arrogance. We talk about how social media shapes theology how influence can replace intimacy and why not every spiritual sounding message is spiritually healthy. This conversation is about learning to recognize what is from God what is from people and what is simply noise. Discernment is not about tearing others down. It is about staying anchored in truth and growing in spiritual maturity. If you want clarity in a crowded faith space this episode is for you. Listen and share with someone navigating the noise.

    Episode 20: Hearing the Voice of God

In this episode we talk about what Scripture teaches about hearing the voice of God and how believers grow in spiritual sensitivity without drifting into confusion or emotionalism. We explore how God speaks through His Word the Holy Spirit and godly counsel and why familiarity with God’s character matters more than chasing spiritual experiences. We also talk about common ways people get off track and how to discern God’s voice from their own thoughts fear or outside pressure. If you have ever wondered whether God is speaking to you or struggled to trust what you are hearing this conversation will bring clarity and peace. God is not trying to hide His voice from His children. He wants to be known. Listen and share with someone who is learning to listen.

    Episode 18: Honor vs. Worship

    This episode explores the biblical difference between honor and worship, using scripture and language-root studies to show how worship is reserved for God while honor is due to people in God-given roles. The hosts discuss real-life examples—pastors, family, celebrity worship, and traditions—offering practical takeaways: test teachings against Scripture, honor without dependence, and guard your heart posture so worship stays directed to God alone.

    Episode 17: Godly Parenting - Raising Children Who Know God in a Culture That Does Not

    Parenting is one of the greatest gifts God gives us and one of the greatest responsibilities. In this episode we talk honestly about what it means to raise children who know God, love God, and choose God in a world that constantly pulls them in the opposite direction. We look at Scripture, share our own parenting wins and failures, and talk through the pressures families face today. We open up about discipline, discipleship, boundaries, social media, cultural influence, and how to build a home where faith is lived not just taught. We also dive into some of the tougher parenting conversations including rebellion, adult children, and how to parent together when you and your spouse have different strengths. If you are a parent, a grandparent, a future parent, or someone who wants to create a Christ centered home, this episode will encourage you and challenge you. Godly parenting is not about perfection. It is about consistency, surrender, and inviting God into the center of your family life. Listen and share with someone who is walking the parenting journey.
