Health & Wellness: How Seriously Should Christians Take It?

Don’t forget your amino acids, electrolytes, and H2O while you listen—we’re just here to care about your health! Now that you’re holding a deep squat (you are, right?), hit play and enjoy the episode... Is the pursuit of health and wellness about living longer—or is there a deeper purpose? In this episode, we dig into the rise of health culture, from anti-aging fads to the balance between stewardship and obsession. We’ll explore: ✅ What the Bible says about caring for our bodies ✅ The dangers of over-prioritizing physical health ✅ How the gospel shapes our perspective on fitness, food, and self-care Whether you’re all-in on fitness or just love a good peanut butter sandwich, this conversation is packed with wisdom, encouragement, and laughs. 🔗 Related Resources: 📖 God at the Center of My Eating Habits 📖 Food and the Christian 📖 Food and the Bible: Good Food, Bad Food 📖 Beautifully Distinct

Christmas: You Don't Need another Game plan

Christmas rom-coms, alternative universes, and Nicolas Cage — yes, somehow they all make it into this episode. We walk through Kelly’s Christmas message on Luke 2, exploring why God’s answer to our deepest brokenness wasn’t a strategy, a checklist, or a five-step plan… but a person. A baby. The most unexpected rescue operation of all time. In this teaching, Kelly shares why the arrival of Jesus is far more than a sweet nativity scene: it’s the moment God sits down at the desk, takes our exam for us, hands us His perfect score, and then delights — truly delights — to give it away. We talk about how salvation is more than debt-forgiveness, how righteousness is a gift earned on our behalf, and why God is far more eager to be with us than to simply fix our circumstances. Whether you’re in a season that feels heavy, hopeful, confusing, or all of the above, this message is a reminder that God didn’t send us a plan to execute — He sent us Himself. Emmanuel. God with us. And that changes everything.

5 Sunday Worship Myths

We are sponsored by America World Adoption Agency. Join us in moving God’s kingdom forward in supporting adoption by signing up for their emails here. We love worship, and we also love ruining bad ideas about worship. Today we are looking at five myths every church musician has probably heard at some point — like that we usher people into God’s presence (spoiler: that’s Jesus’ job), or that the Spirit’s main gig is “changing atmospheres”. We even talk about why “spontaneous” doesn’t automatically mean “spiritual.” So if you’ve ever led worship, attended worship, or just judged someone’s worship from the back row, this one’s for you. Grab your coffee, retire your skinny jeans, and join us as we bust a few myths — clearly. Recommended Book: You are What You Love by KA Smith

1 Corinthians: The Church Has Always Been Messed Up

It is Partner Month. Join us in Equipping the Saints for the Work of Ministry: Patreon Get you 1 Corinthians One-Pager here! We’re heading to Corinth, y’all—and not just for the ruins. In this episode, Jimmy and Kelly crack open Paul’s (technically second!) letter to the Corinthians and uncover why it’s still wildly relevant today. From church drama and spiritual gifts to communion faux pas and resurrection mic drops, 1 Corinthians is a loaded letter to a messy, relatable church. We’re talking about why Paul calls these hot mess believers “saints,” what makes this book a gift to the ADHD brain, and how a deep dive into resurrection theology becomes one of the most compelling historical cases for Christianity. If you’ve ever felt frustrated by the modern church, wrestled with tricky Bible passages, or just want to know how to see Jesus clearly through Paul’s letters—this episode is for you. And yes, we’re giving you that Clearly One-Pager to help you dig in for yourself. 🔗 Resources mentioned: Explore ancient biblical manuscripts at csntm.orgWatch their manuscript walk-through on YouTube

Why Saving Money Might Be Holding You Back Spiritually

🎙️ Sponsored by TeachEquip — equipping Bible teachers who want to grow in clarity, confidence, and joy. (Also, they’re just awesome.) We’re diving into a topic that’s as personal as it is powerful—money. Why is it so hard to talk about? Why does the Bible have so much to say about it? And how do we faithfully navigate money in a culture that defines success by independence and accumulation? We’ve wrestled with these questions ourselves—from seasons of barely scraping by (shoutout to our musician years 🙃) to moments of unexpected generosity that showed us God’s faithfulness in profound ways. We’re not financial experts, but we’ve lived this stuff. And we’re passionate about talking through what scripture really says—about stewardship, retirement, savings, generosity, and what it means to live in light of eternity. You’ll hear personal stories (yes, including the Panera Bread miracle), biblical truth, and maybe a few spicy takes. Our hope is that this conversation encourages you to trust God more deeply with your resources, whether you’re in a season of lack or abundance. 💡 We talk about: Why money isn’t evil—but our hearts can twist itHow Jesus flips the cultural narrative around wealthWhat we’ve learned (and unlearned) about retirementHow to give when you don’t have extraWhy being part of a generous church family matters📚 Books we mention: George Müller’s Autobiography (Free PDF)Money, Possessions, and Eternity by Randy Alcorn — Buy on AmazonThe Treasure Principle by Randy Alcorn — Buy on Amazon🔗 Mentioned in this episode: TeachEquip — A biblical resource hub for teaching and equipping the church👛 Don’t wait until you have “extra” to start living generously. The safest place for whatever you have—big or small—is with the Lord. We’d love to hear how this episode hits you. Got questions? Disagreements? Stories of provision?

Our Favorite Things

It’s that time of year when people start panic-Googling “gift ideas that don’t feel like I bought them in the checkout line.” So we decided to help — Clearly style. Which means: we gave ourselves permission to talk about our favorite things, roast each other, confess our competitive board-game issues, and accidentally pitch half a dozen companies who did not ask for our endorsement but probably should. In this episode, we walk through the books, tools, gadgets, apps, candles, pens, games, and wonderfully analog objects that make our daily lives happier, smoother, or at least less chaotic. From Bibles to board games, from Greek notebooks to Suno AI bangers, from Kelly’s beloved Remarkable to Jimmy’s Micron pen obsession — it’s all here. If you want gift ideas, want to feel better about your own quirks, or just want to laugh your way through our most unserious episode of the year… welcome. These are a few of our favorite things — clearly. 🎁 Favorite Things — Linked ResourcesBibles & Study ToolsNew Inductive Study Bible — Amazon LinkGreek New Testament Notebooks — Amazon Link Analog & Digital ToolsAnalog To-Do List (Uggmonk) — Product PageRemarkable Tablet — Amazon LinkAn Exercise in Proactive Repentance Lifestyle & HomeJackson Vaughn Candles — Official SitePortable Charger — Amazon Link Music / CreativitySuno — suno.com Board Games & Family FunHouse Rules Board Game Shop — Official SiteTicket to Ride — Amazon Link Telestrations — Amazon Link

Literally. So whether you’re wondering if haunted houses are real, or just looking for a better theology of the supernatural—this episode will give you a lot to think about (and maybe stop you from buying that Ouija board at the garage sale).

Complementarianism Isn’t About You — It’s About God

🎙️ Sponsored by TeachEquip — equipping Bible teachers who want to grow in clarity, confidence, and joy. (Also, they’re just awesome.) That’s right. It’s Q&A time — and y’all did not hold back. In this episode, we dive into some of the hardest (and most honest) follow-up questions we’ve received from Clearly listeners lately. Prepare yourself: this is the deep end of the pool. Questions we tackle: 🧔‍♂️ Why does God reserve church leadership for men — really? (Not just “because the Bible says so.”)💧 Why do some churches require rebaptism for membership, and is that fair?🧠 Can we be in fellowship with someone we believe is sinning… but they don’t think they are?😰 If Satan could torment Paul and wreck Job’s life, should I still be scared?🤯 And yes, we go there — does God ever feel scarier than Satan?With Scripture, humility, and a little laughter to keep it grounded, we unpack what it means to trust God's design, even when it makes us squirm a little. Also: we may or may not coin the term “shloughing off” and accidentally go full Joe Rogan length. 📚 Related Resources & Episodes: 🎥 Why We’re Complementarian🎥 Women Teaching the Bible (Part 1)🎥 Women Teaching the Bible (Part 2)🎥 Spiritual Gifts & Gender Roles🎥 What Do We Do With Satan?🎥 How to Disagree Without Dividing

Stop Calling Children Inconvenient

We are sponsored by America World Adoption Agency. Join us in moving God’s kingdom forward in supporting adoption by signing up for their emails here. We love our kids. We really do. We just don’t always love the sticky floors, the endless questions, the “surprise” tantrums in the Target parking lot, or the way someone always needs a snack the literal second we sit down. But somewhere along the way, our culture decided that children themselves are the burden — and that’s where we draw the line. In this episode, we push back on the modern “kids = life-ruiners” narrative and look at what Scripture actually says (spoiler: only blessings, zero curses). We explore why children are image bearers, sanctifiers, future world-changers, and, yes, occasional free labor and potential retirement plans. If you’re a tired parent, a hesitant soon-to-be parent, or just someone who’s accidentally internalized the cultural eye-roll toward kids, come laugh, rethink, and get recalibrated with us — clearly. 📚 Additional ResourcesWho Should a Church Help (and Not Help)?Your Child Is Your Neighbor — The Gospel CoalitionA Jesus Heart for Children (Part 1)Children: Burden or Blessing?The Sanctity of Unwanted Life
