    What Do We Do With the Nephilim | Unraveled S3E32

    Genesis 6 opens with one of the strangest passages in the Bible, sons of God, daughters of men, and giants in the land. It ends a few verses later with God grieving that he made people at all. Daryl preached it Sunday, and the honest answer he keeps landing on is that he doesn't know for certain, and that's alright. RJ sits down with Pastor Daryl Evans, Dayton Kilgus and Gus Johnson to work through Genesis 6:1-8. They walk the three main views of the Nephilim, why Daryl leans toward a hybrid one, and where the Gerasene demoniac in Mark 5 fits the picture. There's a long stretch on verse 6 and what regret means when God is the one feeling it, plus a story about a family watching a child lose ground to addiction that makes it land. They also get honest about their own brushes with the demonic, and why the animals drowning still bothers them. Pull up a chair.

    Are you walking or bouncing?

    enesis 5 is a list of names and ages that ends the same way every time. And he died. And he died. Except once. Enoch walked with God, and God took him. Daryl preached it Sunday, and the question that came out of it is the one worth sitting with: what does walking with God actually look like on a Tuesday? RJ, Pastor Daryl Evans, Dayton Kilgus and Gus Johnson work through the pogo stick problem, the Sunday to Sunday bounce that feels like momentum and never turns into a walk. They talk about busyness as the tool the enemy is using best right now, why faithfulness doesn't belong on a scorecard, and what Daniel, Abraham and Simeon have in common with the older saints sitting in our own rows. It lands where it should, on the guilt that keeps people from starting again and the smallest next step out of it. Pull up a chair.

    Two Families, Two Directions | Unraveled S3E30

    Genesis 4 ends with two family lines, and most of us read right past them. One line builds cities and writes revenge songs. The other one starts calling on the name of the Lord. Daryl makes the case that Moses put those names there on purpose, and that the real question is which line your own house is living in. RJ sits down with Pastor Daryl Evans, Dayton Kilgus, and Gus Johnson to work through Genesis 4:17-26. They get into Lamech bragging about seventy-sevenfold revenge and how Jesus turns that number around when Peter asks how often he has to forgive. There's a long stretch on resume virtues and eulogy virtues, what actually gets said about a man at his funeral, and how fast the years with your kids go. They also talk honestly about raising children in a culture that keeps sliding, and why who you surround yourself with might be the most practical thing in the episode. Pull up a chair.

    Where Is Your Compassion At | Unraveled S3E29

    Cain is easy to read as ancient history, somebody else's story. Daryl makes the case that the way of Cain runs through all of us, in the anger we carry, the person we resent, the defensiveness that shows up the second we get caught. The question he keeps coming back to is simpler and harder than whether we would ever hurt anyone. Where is your heart actually at? RJ, Pastor Daryl Evans and Dayton Kilgus work back through Genesis 4 and Jude 11 from Sunday's sermon. They get into what it means to sit in church for decades without ever really knowing God, why compassion is a better test than behavior, and how fast we shift blame instead of owning our sin. Daryl talks about the losses in our church family this week and what they remind him about what actually matters. There's also a story about a woman here whose simple invitation is about to end in a baptism. Pull up a chair.

    The Heart Behind the Offering | Unraveled S3E28

    Genesis 4 usually gets remembered as the first murder, but this conversation keeps landing somewhere else, the heart behind what we bring to God. Monte Schaffer joins the table after preaching his first sermon on Cain and Abel, and we talk through why God received the two offerings so differently and what that says about our own priorities. Monte walks through the difference between first and best and whatever happens to be left over, and how that shows up in a calendar and a bank statement long before it shows up on a Sunday. Pastor Daryl Evans is at the table too, and we get into Abel's faith still speaking generations later, sin crouching at the door, and the difference between white-knuckling your way out of sin and actually leaning on God. There's honest talk about seeing Cain in ourselves, and why God's mercy toward him is good news for the rest of us. Pull up a chair.

    The Gold in the Broken Pieces | Unraveled S3E27

    Daryl is out this week, so Gus Johnson and Dayton Kilgus join RJ to talk through Sunday's sermon, Hope Through the Curse. It started with a Kintsugi pot, the broken clay piece put back together with gold, and the picture holds up. God doesn't just repair broken people. He makes them more valuable than they were before the break. From Genesis 3, the guys work through the hard parts of the curse, the pain of childbearing, the pull to control, and the man who stays silent instead of leading. Dayton is honest about the first years of his marriage, when he wasn't leading well and Marie had to step up, and what finally changed. They get into pursuing a spouse without nagging, praying for a change of heart instead of trying to be the Holy Spirit, and what it looks like to keep modeling faith for your kids when you know your own failures.

    Satan Lit the Cigar Too Early | Unraveled S3E26

    The serpent shows up in Genesis 3 and gets cursed, and right there in the middle of the curse God announces the first promise of a rescuer. Pastor Daryl calls it the first gospel in all of scripture, and it lands about four verses into humanity's worst day. That gap between what Adam and Eve could see and what we can see looking back at Jesus is where this whole conversation lives. RJ sits down with Daryl Evans and Gus Johnson to work through the sermon, starting with everyone's snake stories and moving into the harder stuff. Daryl talks about the difference between wanting to be like God and wanting to be God, and why pride keeps finding the crack. There's a Bruce Almighty detour, a golf analogy about the next shot, and a practical suggestion: look at your calendar, your bank statement, and your social feeds to find where you've been trying to sit in God's chair. It closes on Romans 5:8 and why grace can feel too simple to accept. Pull up a chair.

    Where Are You? The Instinct to Hide.

    When something goes wrong, hiding is usually our first move. This episode starts with Daryl's story about the family dog who chewed through the drywall and then disappeared the second she heard him come home, and it turns into an honest conversation about why we do the same thing with God and with each other. Working through Genesis 3 and Sunday's sermon, "Where Are You," the guys sit with the difference between Adam, who hid and blamed his wife, and David, who finally owned his sin and asked God for a clean heart. They get into why confession brings freedom, how keeping short accounts with God keeps us from drifting, and how that same blame instinct shows up in 2026, in our marriages, our politics, and our own hearts. RJ, Daryl, Dayton, and Gus stay honest about their own struggles the whole way through. Pull up a chair.
