    It’s Monday, and the guys are back for another episode of A Case of the Mondays! Luke, TJ, Lucas, and Producer Brandon recap their weekends, talk youth sports, family life, football, fall activities, and somehow end up debating daylight savings time, flat Earth theories, Noah’s Ark, the pyramids, and everything in between. But underneath all the random, there’s plenty of meaningful conversation about faith, fatherhood, discipline, and trusting God when life gets hard. In This Episode: Weekend recaps, baseball, soccer, pumpkin patches, and Silver Dollar City Youth sports and the journey from “travel ball dad” to a more relaxed approach Dad wins, dad fails, and learning to let kids have fun Daylight savings time and the question: why do we still change the clocks? Flat Earth, rainbows, and some seriously random conversations Noah’s Ark, ancient discoveries, pyramids, and biblical archaeology What the guys are reading and learning Faith, trials, discipline, and why doing hard things can make us stronger Rethinking what it means to be “blessed” Bringing your kids to Jesus and trusting God like a child Money, possessions, eternity, and living a simpler life The guys also talk about the connection between physical discipline and spiritual discipline, why comfort can make us complacent, and how trials can produce endurance and steadfastness. As always, it’s a little faith, a little family, a little fatherhood, and a lot of random. Know what’s right. Do what’s right. We hope you have a Case of the Mondays! 🎙️ A Case of the Mondays Podcast Brought to you by The Lighthouse Companies — Real Estate, Insurance, & Financial Planning. 👍 Like, subscribe, and share if you enjoyed the episode! #CaseOfTheMondays #Podcast #Faith #Fatherhood #ChristianPodcast #Parenting #YouthSports #Family #Discipline #ChristianLiving

    Ep. 29 Rabies | A Case of the Mondays Podcast

    🎙️ A Case of the Mondays – Episode 29 Rabies This week, the guys are back with world travel stories, birthdays, baseball, football, money, faith, old-school nostalgia, and—because it’s World Rabies Day—a surprisingly long conversation about one of the oldest and most terrifying diseases known to man. Lucas is back from traveling around the world and gives his unofficial one-star Google review of Paris after lost luggage, unhelpful airport workers, and an unexpected trip into the city. The guys also recap birthdays, the Savannah Bananas, Buc-ee’s, the Cyclones finally breaking their losing streak, and another weekend of football frustration. Then the conversation turns more serious. The guys talk about money, materialism, and the danger of letting financial security become a substitute for trusting God. From 1 Timothy 6 to the idea of serving God versus mammon, the challenge is to recognize when money starts promising the comfort, security, and peace that should ultimately come from Christ. There’s also a lesson from Nehemiah 3: sometimes the right thing to do is simply jump in and help. Goldsmiths, perfume makers, and everyday people all helped rebuild the wall—not because it was their profession, but because it was the work that needed to be done. And then… rabies. The guys dive into World Rabies Day, rabid dogs, bats, squirrels, tetanus, lockjaw, scary childhood warnings, and whether loose dogs in town should be tolerated at all. Somehow that leads into calling the old time-and-temperature phone number, remembering TV Guide, the Pickwood movie line, Schwan’s trucks, Kid Cuisines, and growing up in the 1900s. Plus: ✈️ Paris, Hong Kong, lost luggage, and traveling around the world 🎂 Birthday weekends and middle-aged celebrations ⚾ Savannah Bananas at Globe Life Field 🐗 Razorbacks, Cowboys, Cyclones, and Arkansas Tech 💰 Money, materialism, mammon, and trusting God instead of wealth 📖 Nehemiah and the importance of doing what needs to be done 🧱 “That’s not my job” vs. stepping up and helping 🐕 World Rabies Day and why loose dogs make everybody nervous 🦇 Bats, squirrels, rabid animals, tetanus, and lockjaw ☎️ Calling time and temperature like it’s 1997 📺 TV Guide, movie hotlines, Schwan’s trucks, and 1900s nostalgia 🎬 Nuremberg, The Big Short, and The Breadwinner Sometimes the lesson is complicated. Sometimes it’s pretty simple: Know what’s right. Do what’s right. Jump in. Do the work. And trust the Lord more than your money. A little bit of faith, a little bit of family, and a whole lot of randomness.    Pasted text 👊 CONNECT WITH US 👍 Like & Subscribe for weekly episodes! 💬 Comment below: What’s something your parents scared you about growing up—rabies, tetanus, lockjaw, or something else? 🎧 LISTEN ON PODCAST Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

    Ep. 27 Boss and Employee Switch Day | A Case of the Mondays Podcast

    🎙️ A Case of the Mondays – Episode 27 Boss and Employee Switch Day This week, the guys are back with birthday stories, trail races, kids’ sports, Razorback disappointment, CiCi’s Pizza, dove hunting, and one very important question: What would happen if the boss and employee switched places for a day? National Boss and Employee Exchange Day gets the guys talking about what actually makes a good boss—and what makes a good employee. The consensus? Good leaders give people room to do their job, lead by example, and focus on the goal instead of micromanaging every move. And on the employee side, being coachable, teachable, and willing to ask questions goes a long way. The conversation even connects back to Scripture as the guys talk about Daniel being faithful and dependable even while serving under an ungodly king. Sometimes the way you work, lead, and carry yourself can point people toward God more than you realize. Lucas also continues digging into materialism and the danger of measuring God’s blessing by how much money or stuff we have. The reminder is simple: possessions aren’t proof that we’re doing life right, and money was never meant to be the thing that gives us joy. And because this is A Case of the Mondays, all of that somehow shares an episode with Arkansas football, professional sports, hoagies, Virginia, Iceland, youth football, and a Gen Z review of The Prestige. Plus: 🎂 Birthday weekends and “middle-class fancy” Olive Garden 🏃 Running the Grit and Guts trail race at Mount Nebo ⚽ Coaching 6U soccer and keeping unofficial score 🕊️ Dove hunting and accusations of never getting invited 🍕 CiCi’s Pizza, arcades, and childhood birthday memories 🐗 Another painful weekend of Arkansas football 🏈 Why Arkansas Tech football might be the new safe place 👔 What makes a good boss and a good employee 🙏 Daniel, faithfulness, and trusting that God keeps His promises 💰 Materialism, money, and where real joy comes from 🥪 Hoagies, Philadelphia, Virginia, Maine, and Iceland 🎬 Gen Z Movie Review: The Prestige 🪄 Revenge, obsession, and one very complicated ending At the end of the day, whether you’re the boss or the employee, the same things matter: be dependable, stay teachable, do your work well, and remember who you ultimately represent.

    Ep. 26 Managing Expectations, Arkansas Football, Start Trek | A Case of the Mondays Podcast

    🎙️ A Case of the Mondays – Episode 26 Managing Expectations Labor Day pushed the podcast to Tuesday this week, but apparently you can still have a pretty serious case of the Mondays on a Tuesday. The guys recap a long Labor Day weekend filled with Branson, jet skis, Silver Dollar City, golf tournaments, college football, family time, and a pretty major milestone as Deacon takes on his first real grown-up roller coaster at Powder Keg. Then college football takes over. Arkansas got the win, but apparently winning isn’t enough for everybody. The guys talk Ryan Silverfield, offensive struggles, fan expectations, how many games the Razorbacks might actually win, and why sometimes you just need to give people a chance before declaring the season over. The conversation eventually gets a little more important as the guys talk about what they’ve been reading in Ezra, Nehemiah, Hosea, John, and Exodus. One takeaway keeps coming back: listen, obey, trust what God has promised, and get after what He has called you to do. Don’t let opposition—or a bunch of poopy pants—keep you from doing what you know you’re supposed to do. There’s also some dad talk about technology, video games, electric bikes, letting kids take healthy risks, and the realization that once you introduce something into your house, you may have created a whole new argument you didn’t have before. And Alex is back for the Gen Z Movie Review with The Usual Suspects, one of the biggest plot-twist movies of the ’90s—and somehow that leads to The Prestige, Keyser Soze, and Moe’s salsa. Alex gives it a 7.7 out of 10 lighthouses. Plus: 🎢 Deacon takes on Powder Keg at Silver Dollar City 🌊 Getting trapped on a jet ski for three hours 🏌️ Labor Day golf tournaments and bachelor-weekend energy 🏈 Arkansas football, Ryan Silverfield, and realistic expectations 🐗 How many games do the Razorbacks actually win? 📖 Ezra, Nehemiah, Hosea, John, Exodus, and getting into God’s Word 🙏 Trust the promises of God and get after it 🎮 Why delaying video games might save you a few arguments later 🚲 Electric bikes and whether kids still need to pedal 🖖 Star Trek: somehow nerdier than Star Wars 🌀 CERN, Mandela Effects, ampersands, and other completely necessary discussions 🎬 Gen Z Movie Review: The Usual Suspects 🥸 And apparently Luke looks taller on camera Sometimes our biggest problem isn’t what actually happened—it’s what we expected to happen. Set the right expectations. Trust what God has called you to do. Give people a chance. And keep moving forward.

    Ep. 25 Trail Mix | A Case of the Mondays Podcast

    🎙️ Trail Mix | A Case of the Mondays – Episode 25 This week, the guys are back with another episode full of family, faith, parenting, trail mix, questionable food science, baseball, old movies, and the usual amount of completely unnecessary rabbit trails. The conversation starts with names, cursive handwriting, wallpaper, youth baseball, Silver Dollar City, burgers, smoked salsa, and enjoying one of those rare weekends where the weather finally starts to feel a little like fall. Then things get more serious. The guys talk about materialism, the anxiety that can come from chasing more, and the danger of letting money, possessions, comfort, or success become something we depend on more than God. They also reflect on Romans 8, trusting God when we don’t even know what to pray, and the reminder that God is working even when we can’t see what He is doing. That leads into another big parenting conversation: redeeming the time. Whether it’s mowing the yard, golfing, working on projects, catching frogs, or picking up sticks, the challenge is to bring your kids along instead of always trying to get things done faster without them. The guys also talk about the importance of finishing well. Reading through Chronicles is full of examples of people who started faithfully, became comfortable or prideful, and eventually fell away. And when you’re leading a family, your decisions rarely affect just you. Then, naturally, the conversation turns to National Trail Mix Day. Plus: ⚾ Youth baseball tournaments and why parents need to calm down 🎢 Facing fears at Silver Dollar City 🍔 The debate over the best burger in town 🌶️ Smoked salsa and Meat Church recipes 📚 Ruth, Ecclesiastes, Chronicles, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, and graphic novels for kids 💰 Materialism, anxiety, and treating money as a tool instead of an idol 🙏 Romans 8 and trusting God when you don’t know what to pray 👨‍👧‍👦 Redeeming the time and bringing your kids along 🪵 Paying kids to pick up sticks 🥜 National Trail Mix Day, GORP, Scroggin, and indulgent trail mix 🚑 A scary childhood food-allergy story involving trail mix 🏃 Why you should probably start running—and definitely stretch 👽 Gen Z Movie Review: Signs 🎬 Aliens, crop circles, M. Night Shyamalan, and “nothing happens for no reason” Sometimes the most important thing isn’t getting the job done as quickly as possible. Sometimes it’s slowing down, bringing your kids with you, trusting God with the outcome, and making sure you finish well.

    Ep. 24 Waffles | A Case of the Mondays Podcast

    🎙️ **A Case of the Mondays – Episode 24** **Waffles** This week, the guys somehow go from parent-kid golf, bounce houses nearly headed to Oz, and reading *The Hobbit* with their kids to materialism, generosity, National Waffle Day, and a full-blown debate over one of life’s great questions: **Pancakes or waffles?** The guys recap a busy weekend of golf, baseball, church events, and family time before getting into what they’ve been reading and learning. That conversation takes a more serious turn as they talk about faithfully following God, the danger of pride and materialism, and how easy it is to slowly become attached to comfort and possessions without even realizing it. They also talk about generosity, financial margin, and the freedom that comes from remembering that what we have ultimately isn’t ours. Sometimes the best way to loosen money’s grip on us is simply to give some of it away. Then things get much less serious. National Waffle Day launches an unnecessarily passionate debate over waffles versus pancakes, Chick-fil-A chicken and waffles, Eggo’s original name, Waffle House, stroopwafels, waffle irons, and the surprising connection between waffles and the creation of Nike shoes. And to wrap things up, the Gen Z Movie Review takes on **National Treasure**—Nicolas Cage, the Declaration of Independence, hidden clues, Freemasons, treasure hunts, and why adventure stories never really get old. **Plus:** ⛳ Parent-kid golf and managing expectations 🌪️ A Back to School Bash that nearly sent bounce houses to Oz 📚 The Hobbit, Ashtown Burials, and reading with your kids 🙏 Faithfulness, obedience, and trusting God with the outcome 💰 Materialism, generosity, and creating financial margin 🧇 The great pancake vs. waffle debate 🐔 Chicken and waffles and Chick-fil-A excitement 👟 How a waffle iron helped inspire Nike’s famous sole design 🥞 Eggo waffles were originally called “Froffles” 🏴‍☠️ Why everybody loves a good treasure hunt 🎬 A Gen Z review of *National Treasure* Sometimes we can control the effort, but we can’t control the outcome. Sometimes we need to loosen our grip on our stuff. And sometimes… we just need to admit that waffles are better than pancakes.

    Ep. 23 Thrift Stores | A Case of the Mondays Podcast

    🎙️ **A Case of the Mondays – Episode 23** **Thrift Stores** This week, Alex joins the guys in the studio as the conversation moves from garage sales, lemonade stands, baseball history, and wallpaper projects to a much bigger question: **what is actually worth holding on to?** Lucas recaps Bargains Galore on 64, where a pile of stuff headed for the trash somehow turned into hundreds of dollars—and a lemonade stand became an unexpected opportunity to start teaching his daughter about giving, saving, and investing. The guys also dive into National Thrift Shop Day, the strange thrill of finding something valuable hidden among somebody else’s junk, old books and collectibles, secondhand sports gear, and why thrift shopping is basically a grown-up treasure hunt. But the conversation eventually turns toward a different kind of value. While reading through 2 Chronicles, one pattern keeps showing up: people who faithfully follow God experience His blessing, but success can slowly turn into comfort, complacency, and pride. The challenge is simple—**don’t just start well. Finish well.** Along the way, the guys talk about church leadership, the example we set in our homes, reading great stories with our kids, letting them use their imaginations, and remembering that even the loud and chaotic seasons of parenting won’t last forever. **Plus:** ⚾ One of the wildest starts to a Major League Baseball career 🍋 A kid-run lemonade stand and teaching children about money 💰 Turning unwanted stuff into $680 at Bargains Galore 🛍️ National Thrift Shop Day and the thrill of finding hidden treasure 📚 The Hobbit, Redwall, Wingfeather, and getting kids excited about great stories 🙏 Pride, complacency, obedience, and the importance of finishing well ⛪ What Scripture says about church leaders and being an example worth following 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Learning to appreciate the noise and chaos while the kids are still young 🎬 National Treasure, scary movies, and plenty of unexpected rabbit trails Sometimes the things worth keeping aren’t the things with the biggest price tag. Do what’s right. Have faith. Endure. Work hard.
