    Send us a text We reflect on the U.S. capture of Nicolás Maduro, a deadly ICE encounter in Minnesota, and what responsible power looks like in a polarized country.

    Stranger Things, review and family Chat. (Faith Scott) #102

    Send us a text Ten years of monsters and mayhem set the stage, but what stuck to our ribs was the way these characters kept choosing each other. We bring Faith on as our first solo female guest and dive straight into the finale’s big swings: why that feature-length ending felt earned, how comedy threads through panic (all hail Delightful Derek), and where Homily’s fear-to-boldness arc quietly steals scenes. If you’ve been begging for more Upside Down, we make the case that Stranger Things thrives when it puts people first—and show how season five does exactly that. We wrestle with the big debate: is Eleven alive or gone, and is ambiguity a clever flourish or a storytelling dodge? We lay out the leading theories, compare it to The Dark Knight Rises clarification moment, and push back on the “it was all a game” take with receipts—emotional continuity, literal scars, and a closing D&D scene that reads as legacy, not retcon. From there, we give Vecna and Henry their due without granting absolution; not every villain needs redemption, especially when the story has taught us to value consequence. And yes, Nancy Wheeler gets her flowers for fearless leadership that echoes season three’s desperate stand, while Steve and Dustin remain the show’s beating heart of unlikely friendship. We also talk tone: eerie over gory, suspense over shock. That balance let us stay invested even as non-horror fans, and it’s part of why the finale drew Endgame comparisons for us—more than scale, it was the choice to spend time on aftermath, relationships, and hope. Along the way, we weave in real-life moments—graduations, small-town culture, faith, and finding your voice—because Hawkins works best as a mirror for how communities hold together when things fall apart. Hit play to hear our hottest takes, our softest spots, and our best defense of character-first storytelling. If this resonated, tap follow, share with a friend. Support the show

    Send us a text We walk through the Lord’s Prayer with fresh eyes, moving from reverence for God’s holy name to the hard work of forgiveness and the steady hope of God’s kingdom. Along the way we face public grief, resist outrage, and choose daily dependence on grace. • meaning of “our Father” and shared belonging • honoring God’s holy name in word and life • surrendering to God’s will over our own • daily bread as gratitude and Scripture dependence • forgiveness received and forgiveness extended • processing tragedy without dehumanizing opponents • resisting temptation and seeking deliverance from evil • confidence in Scripture despite textual variants • hope in God’s eternal kingdom and a call to witness Tell someone about Jesus this weekend.

    Dakoda Shrader interview. #100

    Send us a text A season can change a town, and sometimes a single point can change a life. We revisit a 15-0 run that opened and ended with overtime thrillers, stitched together by conditioning, trust, and a single-wing playbook that punished angles and rewarded courage. From Blacksburg’s tone-setting two-point call to a kick return that flipped Christiansburg, from Graham’s track-meet chaos to Galax’s bruising brilliance with Steven Peoples, every week demanded a new answer. We break down the quiet moments that decided everything: a strip on the sideline, a special teams surge, and a defensive stand that kept hope alive when the offense sputtered. The playoffs raised the stakes and the stakes raised the execution. Grayson County brought chippiness; composure won out. Appomattox came with the second-round ghost; preparation and a drilled field goal exorcised it. Richlands knew the plays; speed beat knowledge. Riverheads turned the game clock into a metronome—two passes, forty-eight minutes, and a respect for discipline. And Brunswick? A blur of athletes, a punt return called back, and a final drive that lives rent-free: a fourth-and-eight run, a perfect ball to the sideline, the catch, the miss, and overtime redemption after six turnovers. Final score: 20–19. Title secured. Along the way, injuries reshaped roles and revealed a deeper truth: depth isn’t a luxury, it’s a culture. Seniors stepped in, backups practiced like starters, and coaches drilled game-winning scenarios until pressure felt familiar. Years later, the brotherhood still holds—county rivals turned colleagues, All-Star sidelines with former foes, and a community that paints pride onto grass every November. If you love small-town high school football, rivalries that feel like family business, and final drives that test belief, this story belongs in your queue. Tap follow, share with a teammate, and leave a review telling us the clutch play you’ll never forget. Support the show

    Send us a text We trace David’s narrow path between justice and restraint as Abigail’s wisdom averts bloodshed, Saul’s jealousy returns, and a desperate king seeks answers in the dark at Endor. The thread is conscience under pressure and how God uses ordinary courage to steady future kings. • mourning Samuel and a somber reflection on public violence • Apostles’ Creed and the Lord’s Prayer to frame the study • Nabal’s insult, David’s anger, Abigail’s wise intervention • mercy chosen over vengeance and Nabal’s sudden judgment • David’s marriages and a candid look at polygamy in Scripture • Saul’s renewed pursuit and David’s second act of restraint • refuge in Philistia, difficult raids, and covenant context • Saul at Endor, the voice of judgment, and spiritual drift • closing with gratitude through the Doxology Support the show

    Children Of God, Called To Love. #98

    Send us a text What if being called a child of God reshaped the way you treat your enemies, your neighbors, and your habits when no one’s watching? We journey through 1 John 3 to confront two uncomfortable truths: Christians are not sinless, and we cannot make peace with sin. That tension drives a richer holiness—one that refuses perfectionist myths, repents quickly, and grows in love that actually costs something. We unpack the difference between stumbling and a pattern of willful, habitual sin, and why abiding in Jesus changes our posture toward confession. Then we take love out of theory and into streets and kitchens: sharing goods with those in need, choosing compassion over contempt, and seeing how jealousy, anger, and contempt become violence if left unchallenged. Our conversation also widens the lens to the unreached. With so much access to teaching and churches, it’s easy to forget that vast people groups still have limited exposure to the gospel. We highlight practical rhythms—prayer, giving, friendship with immigrant neighbors—that turn concern into action. Amid all this, there’s grace for the heart that won’t stop accusing. When you’ve repented but still feel condemned, God is greater than your heart and knows the truth about you. Holiness isn’t a dress code; it’s perfected love for God and people. We close with a timely reminder: Christ belongs to the world. If our Father is building a global family, then our calling is to live as faithful children—repenting without delay, loving in deed and truth, and carrying hope to those who’ve never heard.

    Virginia elections: 2025 #97

    Send us a text Ballots open doors—and this year in Virginia, they may also redraw the map of power. We break down exactly how to vote with confidence, then dive straight into the real stakes: a historic governor’s race, a hard look at abortion policy, and a charged fight over whether the Commonwealth’s bipartisan redistricting system can be sidelined in a special session. No fluff, no hedging—just a clear-eyed view of what your choice could change. We walk through voting hours, ID requirements, and the simple rule that protects your voice if you’re in line by 7 p.m. From there, we contrast the candidates’ agendas and explain why policy outcomes matter more than headlines. The heart of the show centers on the redistricting push: how the commission came to be, why it won broad support, and what it would mean if lawmakers trigger earlier map redraws despite voter intent. With insights from Delegate Nick Freitas on floor procedure, germaneness, and power dynamics, we map the mechanics that often get lost behind slogans. The conversation expands to principle: fair maps, civil process, and the long arc of Virginia’s civic identity. We speak plainly about life and women’s privacy, raise concerns about last-minute procedural maneuvers, and offer a resilient plan whether results thrill or sting—organize, vote, and keep the guardrails intact. If you care about election integrity, redistricting reform, and the future direction of the Commonwealth, this is your field guide for an election that reaches beyond one news cycle. If this resonates, share it with a friend, subscribe for more candid breakdowns, and leave a review with your top issue this year—what should Virginia protect or change next? Support the show
