    Sophie Cunningham, Parenting Gone Wrong, and The Cost of Loving Someone | Ep. 90 | Wyatt Matters

    This week begins with one of the most talked-about moments in sports. After Caitlin Clark takes another hard hit, teammate Sophie Cunningham steps in to defend her… and instantly becomes a viral sensation. Was it simply retaliation, or was it something much deeper? Then the conversation turns to a major parenting study revealing the newest ways parents unintentionally hold their kids back. From over-functioning parents to the pressure to remove every obstacle, the cast explores the difference between protecting children and preparing them for life. The episode ends with one of Jesus' most powerful statements about love: "Greater love has no one than this..." Real love isn't always comfortable. Sometimes it requires courage. Sometimes it carries a cost. And sometimes the greatest act of love is choosing someone else's good over your own. 🎙️ This week’s co-hosts: Bruce Templeton – https://www.instagram.com/coltoncross Maribeth Dodd – https://www.maribethdodd.com/ & https://www.youtube.com/@TheHealthyHustlePodcast Kimberlee Herman – https://www.promisehillpodcast.com/ & https://www.redeemedhopeaz.com/ 👉 Visit our sponsor: Yrefy – Student Loan Refinance For Struggling Borrowers https://yrefy.com/ 👉 For more from Wyatt Matters, head to https://www.wyattmattersshow.com/ — join the newsletter, learn about the cast, and find faith-based resources that go deeper.

    A Man Marries His Tractor, AI Romance, and The Love We've Been Looking For | Ep. 89 | Wyatt Matters

    A farmer marries his tractor. A woman marries the Eiffel Tower. Another builds an AI boyfriend and calls it true love. These bizarre headlines are hilarious… but they reveal something surprisingly serious about the human heart. Why are so many people looking for love in places that can never love them back? Steve Wyatt explores why real love isn't built on feelings or constant affirmation, but on sacrifice, commitment, and choosing another person's good above your own. 🎙️ This week’s co-hosts: John Samples – https://www.jsam.com/ & https://www.youtube.com/jsamtv Bruce Templeton – https://www.instagram.com/coltoncross Garrett Shelp – https://www.facebook.com/garrettshelp 👉 Visit our sponsor: Yrefy – Student Loan Refinance For Struggling Borrowers https://yrefy.com/ 👉 For more from Wyatt Matters, head to https://www.wyattmattersshow.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Pizza Refunds, The Knicks' Impossible Run, and Why Some Things Need a Hard No | Ep. 88 | Wyatt Matters

    This week starts with a customer who eats two entire pizzas… then demands a full refund. The crew has plenty of laughs, but the story quickly turns into a bigger conversation about entitlement, personal responsibility, and why some people simply refuse to accept the word "no." Then the focus shifts to the New York Knicks' remarkable playoff run after decades of disappointment. Their perseverance raises an important question: when should you keep fighting, and when is accepting "no" actually the wiser choice? The episode closes by exploring one of Jesus' most countercultural teachings: the path to real freedom isn't found by insisting on your own way. Sometimes the most life-changing answer God gives is "no"... because He's leading you to something far better. 🎙️ This week’s co-hosts: John Samples – https://www.jsam.com/ & https://www.youtube.com/jsamtvKimberlee Herman – https://www.promisehillpodcast.com/ & https://www.redeemedhopeaz.com/Garrett Shelp – https://www.facebook.com/garrettshelp 👉 Visit our sponsor: Yrefy – Student Loan Refinance For Struggling Borrowers https://yrefy.com/ 👉 For more from Wyatt Matters, head to https://www.wyattmattersshow.com/ — join the newsletter, learn about the cast, and find faith-based resources that go deeper.

    Matthew McConaughey, Life-Changing No's, and Why Boundaries Create Better Futures | Best of Wyatt Matters

    What happens when you say no to something everyone else says you should want? In this special broadcast edit of Wyatt Matters, Steve and the crew explore the surprising story of Matthew McConaughey turning down millions of dollars and walking away from the Hollywood roles that made him famous. At the height of his career, McConaughey realized success was pulling him away from the person he wanted to become. So he made a difficult decision: he said no. No to easy money. No to expectations. No to staying stuck in a version of life that no longer fits. That story becomes the launching point for a deeper conversation about boundaries, priorities, and the courage it takes to walk away from good opportunities in order to pursue better ones. The discussion explores why every meaningful life requires limits, why saying no is often an act of wisdom, and how our biggest regrets frequently come from the moments we failed to establish healthy boundaries..From relationships and careers to faith and personal growth, this episode offers a practical reminder that the right "no" can open the door to the right future. 🎙️ This week’s co-hosts:  John Samples – https://www.jsam.com/ & https://www.youtube.com/jsamtvMaribeth Dodd – https://www.maribethdodd.com/ & https://www.youtube.com/@TheHealthyHustlePodcastGarrett Shelp – https://www.facebook.com/garrettshelp 👉 Visit our sponsor: Yrefy - Student Loan Refinance For Struggling Borrowershttps://yrefy.com/ 👉 For more from Wyatt Matters, head tohttps://www.wyattmattersshow.com/ — join the newsletter, learn about the cast, and find faith-based resources that go deeper.

    BEST OF WM: Parking Lot Wars, Matthew McConaughey, and Why Some Things Need a Hard No | Ep. 80 | Wyatt Matters

    This week’s show starts in one of the most emotionally unstable places on Earth: the parking lot. Steve unpacks the strange territorial instincts people suddenly develop when somebody else wants “their” parking space — even when they were about to leave it anyway. From there, the crew dives into bizarre headlines, including forklift jewelry heists, donkey getaway vehicles, and another reminder that Florida may actually be its own planet. Then the conversation shifts toward actor Matthew McConaughey and the growing realization that maturity often comes down to one overlooked skill: learning how to say no. No to distractions. No to unhealthy patterns. No to every opportunity, impulse, and emotional reaction demanding your attention. The episode closes with a deeper discussion about boundaries, wisdom, and why constantly saying yes to everything can quietly wreck your peace, your priorities, and even your spiritual life. 🎙️ This week’s co-hosts:John Samples – https://www.jsam.com/ & https://www.youtube.com/jsamtvTodd Bussey – https://www.facebook.com/todd.bussey.71/Maribeth Dodd – https://www.maribethdodd.com/ & https://www.youtube.com/@TheHealthyHustlePodcastGarrett Shelp – https://www.facebook.com/garrettshelp  Visit our sponsor: Yrefy – Student Loan Refinance For Struggling Borrowershttps://yrefy.com/ For more from Wyatt Matters, head to https://www.wyattmattersshow.com/ — join the newsletter, learn about the cast, and find faith-based resources that go deeper.

    The Worst Road Trip Ever, A Relentless Grandma, and A Baseball Star Who Couldn't Let Go | Ep. 86 | Wyatt Matters

    "Never quit."   It's one of the most popular pieces of advice you'll ever hear.   This week, Wyatt Matters asks whether that's always true.   From a wildly impractical road trip across Africa to a woman who spent years chasing a driver's license she probably shouldn't have received, the crew explores stories of determination that crossed into something else entirely.   Then the focus turns to former MLB star Curt Schilling, whose legendary competitiveness fueled both incredible success and painful failure. His journey becomes a powerful example of what can happen when one goal consumes everything else.   Through humor, stories, and practical wisdom, Steve challenges one of our culture's favorite assumptions: sometimes quitting isn't weakness. Sometimes it's wisdom.   Because one of the fastest ways to nuke your own life is refusing to let go of something that should have ended a long time ago.   🎙️ This week’s co-hosts: John Samples – https://www.jsam.com/ & https://www.youtube.com/jsamtv Bruce Templeton – https://www.instagram.com/coltoncross Kimberlee Herman – https://www.promisehillpodcast.com/ & https://www.redeemedhopeaz.com/   👉 Visit our sponsor: Yrefy - Student Loan Refinance For Struggling Borrowers https://yrefy.com/   👉 For more from Wyatt Matters, head to https://www.wyattmattersshow.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Jetway Jesus, Social Media Sadfishing, and Why Self-Pity Keeps Us Stuck | Ep. 85 | Wyatt Matters

    This week starts with a hilarious look at “Jetway Jesus”... those passengers who need a wheelchair to board a plane but somehow experience a miraculous recovery before reaching baggage claim. Then the crew takes aim at one of the internet’s most annoying trends: vague-posting, sadfishing, rage-baiting, and the endless search for attention online. Why do people post cryptic messages that say everything and nothing at the same time? But beneath the humor is a much deeper question. When does legitimate pain become an identity? When does a setback become a story we keep telling ourselves? Steve examines Jesus’ encounter with the disabled man at the Pool of Bethesda and asks a difficult question: Do we actually want to get better, or have we become comfortable living inside our excuses? This episode explores self-pity, personal responsibility, healing, and why moving forward often begins with a simple but difficult command: “Get up.” 🎙️ This week’s co-hosts:Todd Bussey – https://www.facebook.com/todd.bussey.71/Garrett Shelp – https://www.facebook.com/garrettshelp 👉 Visit our sponsor: Yrefy - Student Loan Refinance For Struggling Borrowers https://yrefy.com/ 👉 For more from Wyatt Matters, head tohttps://www.wyattmattersshow.com/ — join the newsletter, learn about the cast, and find faith-based resources that go deeper.

    Snake-Wrangling Politicians, A Brutal Diagnosis, and What Matters Most When Everything Changes | Ep. 84 | Wyatt Matters

    This week starts with one of the strangest headlines you'll hear all year: politicians wrangling snakes in a bizarre public spectacle that leaves the crew shaking their heads and asking how we got here. Then the conversation takes a sharp turn into something much more serious. A respected public figure receives a devastating cancer diagnosis, forcing a difficult conversation about suffering, mortality, fear, and what really matters when life suddenly changes. From there, Steve tackles a question many people wrestle with but rarely say out loud: Why do we make faith, life, and even prayer more complicated than they need to be? Through humor, personal stories, and biblical insight, the crew explores the difference between performing for people and authentically pursuing God. When the distractions fall away, and life gets real, what remains? This episode is a reminder that hope, purpose, and peace are often found in the simplest truths. 🎙️ This week’s co-hosts:Todd Bussey – https://www.facebook.com/todd.bussey.71/Bruce Templeton – https://www.instagram.com/coltoncrossKimberlee Herman – https://www.promisehillpodcast.com/ & https://www.redeemedhopeaz.com/ 👉 Visit our sponsor: Yrefy - Student Loan Refinance For Struggling Borrowers https://yrefy.com/ 👉 For more from Wyatt Matters, head to https://www.wyattmattersshow.com/ — join the newsletter, learn about the cast, and find faith-based resources that go deeper.
