    B&R #048 | How Should Christians Vote?

    How should a Christian vote when neither candidate perfectly represents biblical values? In this episode of the Bourne and Raised Podcast, Pastor Tim Bourne and Pastor Jordan Bourne tackle one of the most difficult questions Christians face during election season: how should our faith actually influence the way we vote? The conversation explores the difference between voting for a candidate’s personality and voting for the principles and policies they represent. Tim and Jordan discuss whether voting is a spiritual endorsement or a civic responsibility, whether Christians should sit out an election when they dislike both choices, and which biblical convictions should carry the most weight when entering the voting booth. They also examine how political language can reshape the way issues are understood, including conversations surrounding life, gender, marriage, immigration, parental rights, and religious belief. Using statements from political figures including Donald Trump and James Talarico, they ask how Christians can evaluate competing claims without allowing party loyalty, personality, or cultural pressure to become the ultimate standard. The goal of this conversation is not simply to tell Christians which box to check. It is to ask a bigger question: when our civic responsibility and our Christian conviction intersect, what principles actually govern our decision?   CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 01:18 How Should Christians Vote? 09:36 Does Sitting Out the Election Matter? 15:08 How Political Language Shapes the Debate 23:44 Character, Policy, and Biblical Principles 38:57 Conviction, Church, and Voting Your Conscience   SCRIPTURE THEMES MENTIONED The sanctity and value of human life Biblical definitions of marriage and family Jesus as the way, the truth, and the life The difference between compassion and changing biblical truth Flawed leaders and the example of King David Submitting personal preferences and political identity to Scripture   WATCH NEXT Catch up on more Bourne and Raised conversations about faith, family, leadership, culture, and the issues Christians are navigating today: The Origin Of Genesis Metro   SUBSCRIBE Subscribe to the Bourne and Raised Podcast for conversations on faith, family, leadership, sports, culture, and whatever else ends up around the table.   Support the Show: (select fund PODCAST SPONSORSHIP) https://www.kindridgiving.com/app/Form/78ad43d8-65e8-4c98-adee-ddea14e23587 FOR BUSINESS AND SPONSORSHIP INQUIRIES: Bourneandraisedpod@gmail.com   📱 STAY CONNECTED: ▶️ Subscribe on YouTube 📸 Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bourneandra... 🌐 Learn more at: https://www.genesismetro.org/

    B&R #047 | How Do I Fix Crazy?

    Are you asking God for clarity, or are you asking Him to confirm the answer you already want? In this episode of the Bourne and Raised Podcast, Pastor Tim Bourne, Pastor Carrie Bourne, Pastor Jordan Bourne, and Genesis Metro worship staff member Gabbie Foote unpack lessons from the Sisterhood 2026 Retreat and explore how the way we frame a situation can shape everything we believe about it. Our experiences, emotions, fears, and expectations can cause us to view life through a frame that is not rooted in reality. Through the contrasting stories of Saul and David, the team discusses the difference between reacting from the flesh and grounding our perspective in the unbiased truth of God’s Word. Gabbie shares how her prayers shifted from, “God, give me confidence, then I will obey,” to simply saying yes before she knew how everything would work out. The conversation expands into surrender, putting down the pen, praying with open hands, and trusting that God may have something better than the outcome we are trying to control. The team also reflects on the community and worship culture experienced at Sisterhood, why expectation and investment matter, and how godly relationships help move our frame back toward truth when feelings begin pulling it out of alignment.   CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 02:20 What’s Framing Your Perspective? 08:28 Community That Challenges Us 14:02 Showing Up Expectant In Worship 22:33 Clarity Vs. Confirmation 36:07 Reframing Your Pain   SCRIPTURE THEMES MENTIONED Saul and David viewing the same circumstances differently Michal judging David’s undignified worship Israel asking for meat instead of trusting God’s provision Paul’s thorn and God’s sufficient grace Counting trials as joy in James 1 The struggle between flesh and truth in Romans 7 Rejoicing under persecution in the Beatitudes   WATCH NEXT Catch up on more Bourne and Raised conversations about faith, family, leadership, ministry, and spiritual growth: What Makes A Healthy Team?   SUBSCRIBE Subscribe to the Bourne and Raised Podcast for conversations on faith, family, leadership, sports, culture, and whatever else ends up around the table.   Support the Show: (select fund PODCAST SPONSORSHIP) https://www.kindridgiving.com/app/Form/78ad43d8-65e8-4c98-adee-ddea14e23587 FOR BUSINESS AND SPONSORSHIP INQUIRIES: Bourneandraisedpod@gmail.com   📱 STAY CONNECTED: ▶️ Subscribe on YouTube 📸 Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bourneandra... 🌐 Learn more at: https://www.genesismetro.org/

    B&R #046 | Fantasy Football League Update (PUNISHMENT REVEALED!)

    Four weeks into THE GREATEST FANTASY FOOTBALL LEAGUE OF ALL TIME, the standings are starting to get uncomfortable. In this episode of the Bourne and Raised Podcast, Tim Bourne and Jordan Bourne are joined by Korey McEwin, Justin James, and Nolan Spann for our first in-season fantasy football league update. We reveal the last-place punishment for this season, break down the standings after four weeks, and hear directly from the managers currently staring up from the bottom of the table. Some still have hope. Others have entered the dangerous world of fantasy football cope. There is plenty of trash talk, panic, optimism, and premature victory laps as we find out who actually feels good about their roster and who is already trying to convince themselves that a comeback is coming. The season is young, but with this group, finishing last has consequences.   CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 03:55 This Year's Last Place Punishment 07:01 Standings Update 26:46 Trade Court 42:11 Buy or Sell? 59:00 Cowboys Record Prediction   WATCH NEXT Check out some of the history and context of our fantasy football league in this episode: B&R #041 | The Greatest Fantasy Football L...     SUBSCRIBE Subscribe to the Bourne and Raised Podcast for conversations on faith, family, leadership, sports, culture, and whatever else ends up around the table.   Support the Show: (select fund PODCAST SPONSORSHIP) https://www.kindridgiving.com/app/Form/78ad43d8-65e8-4c98-adee-ddea14e23587 FOR BUSINESS AND SPONSORSHIP INQUIRIES: Bourneandraisedpod@gmail.com   📱 STAY CONNECTED: ▶️ Subscribe on YouTube 📸 Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bourneandra... 🌐 Learn more at: https://www.genesismetro.org/

    B&R #045 | How To Build Resilience (Part 2!)

    Can resilience be built before life forces you to use it? In this episode of the Bourne and Raised Podcast, Pastor Tim Bourne, Pastor Carrie Bourne, Pastor Jordan Bourne, and Pastor Mark Clements continue their conversation on how to build resilience in leadership, marriage, relationships, and everyday life. The team discusses why talent without adversity can leave people unprepared for pressure, and how discipline, work ethic, and intentionally doing hard things can build the “muscle” of resilience before the real test arrives. The conversation then turns to accountability and conflict. Can you receive correction without falling apart? Can a marriage, friendship, or team survive a hard conversation and return to health afterward? The group explores why avoiding conflict can actually prevent growth, why coddling can hurt the people we are trying to help, and why healthy people learn to separate their identity from their emotions. From hiding phones when chores were forgotten to Remember the Titans, hard conversations, marriage, leadership, and learning to keep showing up when you do not feel like it, this episode is about becoming the kind of person who can take a hit, learn from it, and keep moving forward.   CHAPTERS 00:00 Can You Train Resilience? 00:31 Talent Vs. Work Ethic 07:01 Learning Through Hard Things 09:30 Resilience & Accountability 14:55 Why Healthy Relationships Need Conflict 18:13 The Danger of Coddling SCRIPTURE THEMES MENTIONED Iron sharpening iron in relationships Israel crossing the Red Sea and remembering what God had done Identity rooted in God rather than our feelings Faithfulness when life becomes difficult   WATCH NEXT If you missed Part 1 of How To Build Resilience, start there for the foundation of this conversation and check out the earlier episodes in our healthy team series: How To Build Resilience   SUBSCRIBE Subscribe to the Bourne and Raised Podcast for conversations on faith, family, leadership, ministry, health, and what it takes to follow Jesus with grit and purpose.   Support the Show: (select fund PODCAST SPONSORSHIP) https://www.kindridgiving.com/app/Form/78ad43d8-65e8-4c98-adee-ddea14e23587 FOR BUSINESS AND SPONSORSHIP INQUIRIES: Bourneandraisedpod@gmail.com   📱 STAY CONNECTED: ▶️ Subscribe on YouTube 📸 Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bourneandra... 🌐 Learn more at: https://www.genesismetro.org/

    B&R #044 | How To Build Resilience

    What does true resilience look like in marriage, parenting, and leadership? In this episode of the Bourne and Raised Podcast, Pastor Tim Bourne, Pastor Carrie Bourne, Pastor Jordan Bourne, and Pastor Mark Clements explore how to build a healthy team through grit and perseverance. Resilience is more than just "getting through it". It’s the ability to return to health after conflict, exhaustion, or failure. The team discusses how resilience is developed like a muscle, why parents must allow children to experience failure, and how faith in Jesus provides a foundation to push off of when life feels overwhelming. From hilarious parenting stories (including an unforgettable potty-training disaster) to biblical examples like the Apostle Paul and Louis Zamperini, this conversation offers practical tools for anyone looking to lead with grit and purpose.   CHAPTERS 00:00 Defining Resilience 05:15 Parenting for Grit 12:01 Examples of Resilience 17:33 Parenting Stories and Lessons Learned   SCRIPTURE THEMES MENTIONED Being hard pressed but not crushed Persevering under trial Falling seven times and getting back up Jesus as the Rock and foundation Paul’s resilience in Acts 14   WATCH NEXT If you missed the earlier episodes in this health series, go back and watch Part 1 and Part 2 for more context on building healthy people, healthy relationships, and healthy teams.

    B&R #043 | Why Trust Is So Important

    This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim, Carrie, Jordan, and Mark continue their conversation on organizational health, focusing on trust and why healthy teams can navigate disagreement without questioning each other’s motives. We discuss how trust is earned through character, consistency, and follow-through, how gossip and inconsistent leadership undermine it, and why genuine accountability requires relationships built on trust. The conversation also celebrates dependable volunteers and explores why leaders must invest in others rather than try to do everything themselves. When healthy culture is modeled consistently, it begins to reproduce itself. Tim and Carrie share personal stories of sacrificing comfort and resources to make room for teammates, reminding us that building a healthy team means putting the mission ahead of ourselves.   CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 00:11 Building A Culture Of Trust 07:40 The Value Of A Person You Can Trust 18:16 The Sacrifice Required To Build Something   👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for more conversations about faith, leadership, culture, and everyday life. 👇JOIN THE CONVERSATION: What do you think our fourth component of a healthy team will be?   Support the Show: (select fund PODCAST SPONSORSHIP) https://www.kindridgiving.com/app/Form/78ad43d8-65e8-4c98-adee-ddea14e23587 FOR BUSINESS AND SPONSORSHIP INQUIRIES: Bourneandraisedpod@gmail.com   📱 STAY CONNECTED: ▶️ Subscribe on YouTube 📸 Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bourneandra... 🌐 Learn more at: https://www.genesismetro.org/

    B&R #042 | What Makes A Healthy Team? (Part 1)

    This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim, Carrie, Jordan, and Mark begin a new series on organizational health and what separates a team that simply gets results from one that is genuinely healthy. In Part 1, we focus on two foundational qualities: clarity and ownership. We discuss why healthy teams need to know what is true and what actually matters, how leaders can damage culture by fixating on the wrong things, and why confusion often grows when people lose sight of the larger mission. Then we turn to ownership: taking responsibility, finishing what you start, helping the whole team succeed, and refusing to settle for, “I did my part.” Healthy teams win and lose together. Part 2 continues with trust and how healthy culture begins to reproduce itself.   CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 10:00 Fixating On The Wrong Things 18:05 External Vs.

    B&R #041 | The Greatest Fantasy Football League Of All Time

    This week on Bourne & Raised, Tim, Jordan, and Titus are joined by Korey and Nolan for a full breakdown of what we proudly call THE GREATEST FANTASY FOOTBALL LEAGUE OF ALL TIME. This is not your average fantasy league. We talk through the combine-style competitions we use to determine draft order, the ridiculous level of competitiveness that comes with every season, the rivalries that have developed over the years, and some of the unforgettable last-place punishments we have handed out along the way. Korey also brings the championship trophy into the studio after winning the league back-to-back the last two seasons, which naturally gives everyone one more reason to argue, defend themselves, and talk trash. From the draft process to the punishments, this league has become its own tradition, complete with rules, history, rivalries, and way too much pride on the line. If you think your fantasy football league is competitive, this episode may make you reconsider.   CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 03:20 Combine Glory 10:20 Our Fantasy Football Woes 26:10 Last Place Punishments 32:50 Winners Of Our League 37:44 3 secrets to success in fantasy football 41:00 Team Names 44:02 Football Jeopardy   👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for more stories from the history of Genesis Metro and conversations about faith, leadership, and life. 🔔 Turn on notifications so you do not miss the next chapter of The Origin Of Genesis Metro. 👇 JOIN THE CONVERSATION: What do you think should be the punishment of the biggest loser in our fantasy football league this year?   Support the Show: (select fund PODCAST SPONSORSHIP) https://www.kindridgiving.com/app/Form/78ad43d8-65e8-4c98-adee-ddea14e23587 FOR BUSINESS AND SPONSORSHIP INQUIRIES: Bourneandraisedpod@gmail.com   📱 STAY CONNECTED: ▶️ Subscribe on YouTube 📸 Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bourneandra... 🌐 Learn more at: https://www.genesismetro.org/
