    Frozone Takes Over the Social Security Administration

    What actually happens to your Social Security benefits when there’s a death in the family? Or a major change in your household? In this episode, Brian and Lauren are joined by Rob Fenn, Public Affairs Specialist for the Social Security Administration, to talk through the real-life situations most families don’t feel prepared for — but eventually have to face. From losing a spouse to changes in custody, disability status, or retirement, we walk through how Social Security payments are affected and what steps families should take to avoid unnecessary stress during already difficult seasons. We discuss: What to do immediately after a death in the family How survivor benefits work What happens to payments when family dynamics change Common misconceptions about Social Security Practical steps to avoid overpayments or administrative headaches This episode is practical, informative, and surprisingly helpful — because navigating government systems is hard enough without confusion layered on top.

    BONUS: The Halftime Show That Split America

    In this bonus episode, we sit down with an actual Puerto Rican Christian to get their perspective on Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show and the broader cultural reaction surrounding it. This conversation goes beyond hot takes. We explore the cultural significance of the performance, what it meant for Puerto Rican identity, and why questions of citizenship, belonging, and representation still carry emotional weight. We also discuss: The historical and political backdrop of Puerto Rico’s relationship with the United States Why the performance resonated deeply with many Puerto Ricans The controversy surrounding explicit lyrics and public morality The tension between cultural pride and Christian discernment What representation in media does — and doesn’t — accomplish Rather than reacting from a distance, this episode creates space for a thoughtful, faith-informed perspective from someone personally connected to the culture being discussed.

    Greenland and Iran: Geopolitics on the Edge

    What in the world is going on with Greenland… and why does Iran seem to always be one headline away from a global crisis? In this episode, Brian and Lauren sit down with Dr. Glen Duerr, Chair of History and Government and Professor of International Studies at Cedarville University, to break down two major geopolitical situations that most of us hear about — but don’t fully understand. Together they unpack: Why Greenland matters strategically on the world stage How global powers think about territory, influence, and security The ongoing tensions surrounding Iran and why the region remains so volatile How international conflicts develop — and why they’re rarely as simple as they seem What Christians should keep in mind when thinking about global politics and conflict If the news feels overwhelming or confusing, this conversation brings clarity, context, and thoughtful perspective to two situations shaping today’s global landscape.

    Dishes Belong In the Sink

    In this episode, Brian and Lauren dive into a relationship advice column that hits a little too close to home for a lot of marriages. A wife says she’s exhausted from carrying the mental load of the household — planning, remembering, organizing everything — but also admits she gets frustrated when her husband tries to help and doesn’t do things her way. So… which is it? Do you want help, or do you want control? Brian and Lauren unpack the tension so many couples feel but don’t always know how to talk about: What the “mental load” really is and why it feels so heavy Why help can sometimes feel more stressful than doing it yourself The difference between shared responsibility and silent expectations How control, standards, and communication all play into everyday conflict What it looks like to actually function as a team at home From dishes in the sink to deeper heart issues, this conversation gets honest about pride, resentment, and the kind of humility and clarity that healthy marriages require.

    ADHD – Better Doers of the Word

    What does ADHD look like in the life of the Church? In this episode, Brian and Lauren talk with Dr. Steve Grcevich, founder and president of Key Ministry, an organization dedicated to helping churches welcome and include families of kids with disabilities and mental health challenges. Together, they explore how ADHD shapes the way people experience faith, church, and community. From sitting still in a pew to staying focused during prayer, traditional church environments can be especially challenging for those with ADHD. But what if the very traits that make church hard can also be incredible strengths in living out our faith? They discuss: • How ADHD shows up in both kids and adults at church • Common misunderstandings about attention, behavior, and spiritual maturity • Practical ways churches can become more welcoming and supportive • How people with ADHD may actually be uniquely wired to be “doers of the Word” Whether you have ADHD, love someone who does, or want your church to be a place where every person can grow in faith, this conversation offers insight, encouragement, and practical hope.

    I’ve Been Married 17 Years, I Don’t Want to Be Touched Anymore

    It’s just Brian and Lauren in this episode, catching up on life and diving into our usual biblical debates. We tackle a bigger spiritual theme: the Bible is not a magic answer book for every life scenario. Instead, we discuss how Scripture forms our hearts, shapes our wisdom, and points us toward Christ—so we can faithfully navigate complex, modern situations that don’t come with neat, verse-by-verse instructions.
