    Taking Notes From Gen Z

    In this episode, Brian and Lauren are joined by Blake Kauffman, a Malone University student and founder of R7 Ministries, to talk about what Gen Z is actually seeking in Christianity today. There’s no shortage of opinions about “kids these days” — but what do young adults themselves say they’re hungry for when it comes to faith? Blake shares what he’s seeing on college campuses and through R7, and how students are engaging with Scripture, community, and discipleship in this cultural moment. We discuss: What Gen Z is really looking for in church How young believers feel most connected to Christ The role of Scripture in a generation shaped by social media Why authentic community matters more than ever What older generations often misunderstand about Gen Z faith If you’ve wondered whether young adults are drifting or digging deeper, this conversation offers insight straight from the source.

    Just Open Your Bible

    What would happen if we stopped overcomplicating faith… and just opened our Bibles? In this episode, Brian and Lauren discuss a TikToker who has started a Bible reading journey and is being refreshingly honest about the experience with millions of followers online. No polished theology. No curated church answers. Just real-time reactions, questions, confusion, curiosity — and a willingness to read what’s actually there. It got us wondering: what would change about our faith if we approached Scripture the same way? We discuss: Why simple Bible reading can feel revolutionary How familiarity sometimes dulls our sense of awe The difference between reading Scripture devotionally vs. culturally What honesty does for spiritual growth Whether we’ve made the Bible more complicated than it needs to be Sometimes the most spiritual advice isn’t complex. It’s just this: open it.

    Don’t Touch the Tools

    It’s 50 degrees outside and you’re reaching for the rake… STOP. Step away from the yard tools. In this episode, Brian and Lauren are joined by The Cranky Arborist (John Palmer), ISA Board Certified Master Arborist, to talk about why you absolutely should not be cleaning up your garden and yard just yet. As tempting as those warm days feel, early yard work can actually harm pollinators, beneficial insects, and the health of your landscape. John explains what’s happening beneath the surface in late winter and early spring — and why patience matters more than productivity. We discuss: Why you shouldn’t rush spring cleanup What’s happening in your garden that you can’t see How early trimming can hurt trees and shrubs The importance of planting native trees Why every yard needs a little “Lorax energy” And yes — he really does want you to plant a tree in your yard.

    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.
