    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.

    BONUS: What’s Really Happening in Minnesota?

    What are people in Minnesota actually experiencing right now? In this episode, Brian sits down with four local Minnesotans — trusted friends and family — to move past headlines and political talking points and talk about what life really looks like on the ground. From ICE activity and immigration enforcement to the emotional toll on families and neighborhoods, this conversation centers on real stories from real people. You’ll hear firsthand perspectives that don’t fit neatly into political or religious boxes — just honest experiences from people living it every day. Our goal isn’t to tell you what to think… it’s to help you hear what’s happening and come to your own conclusions. One of our guests, Jesse, is personally connected to a family in need during this time.
