    Weird Prayers, Getting Watched at Work, and The Simplicity We Keep Missing | Ep. 79 | Wyatt Matters

    This week kicks off with a story that’s equal parts hilarious and uncomfortable—a pastor turns a simple lunch prayer into a full public spectacle. What should’ve been a quiet moment with God becomes a performance for everyone else. It lands the joke, but exposes a bigger issue: how often faith gets turned into something it was never meant to be. Then the show pivots into pure absurdity, with a viral trend: people doing owl impressions of celebrities. It’s pointless, ridiculous, and strangely enjoyable. And that’s the point. In a world that feels heavy and chaotic, even something dumb can remind us we’re human. From there, the conversation zooms out. Life is getting more complicated—technology, communication, even basic tasks. And faith hasn’t escaped that trend. What started simple has been layered with pressure, jargon, and performance. The episode ends by stripping it all back. Jesus didn’t complicate faith—people did. His message was direct: love God and love people. No performance. No audience. Just something real. 🎙️ This week’s co-hosts:John Samples – https://www.jsam.com/ & https://www.youtube.com/jsamtvTodd Bussey – https://www.facebook.com/todd.bussey.71/Garrett 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.

    Weird Obsessions, Pig-Chasing Robots, and What Really Belongs in the Box | Ep. 78 | Wyatt Matters

    The front half of this show is pure absurdity: Pac-Man perfection, giant twine balls, ear-hair records, plane-eating weirdos, and a pig-chasing robot with zero emotion and no sense of purpose. But that absurdity sets up the real issue: people give their lives to all kinds of things that ultimately can’t carry the weight. Then Steve turns the conversation toward faith. What happens when someone truly loves Jesus — and what happens when that love gets twisted into obsession, guilt, and fear? Through real stories of scrupulosity, pressure, and weird church baggage, the show makes an important distinction: passionate faith is life-giving, but fearful religion is exhausting. The takeaway is clear: everybody lives for something. Paul’s one thing was Jesus. If Christ is the only label on your box, then your life has a center that can hold. If not, every other obsession will eventually let you down. 🎙️ 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/@TheHealthyHustlePodcast 👉 Visit our sponsor: Yrefy – Student Loan Refinance For Struggling Borrowershttps://yrefy.com/ 👉 For more from Wyatt Matters, head tohttps://www.wyattmattersshow.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Astronaut Blackouts, Warzone Survival, and Why You Can’t Save Yourself | Ep. 77 | Wyatt Matters

    This week’s show opens with three unbelievable real-world scenarios that all start the same way: trapped, alone, and out of options. Astronauts lose all communication on the far side of the moon. A wounded fighter pilot hides in a rock crevice behind enemy lines for 36 hours while being hunted. And a man lies dead behind a sealed stone in a tomb. Each story looks hopeless… until rescue shows up. The crew unpacks what these stories reveal about human nature. When things go wrong, we instinctively look for a way out. We build, invent, spend billions, and push technology to its limits trying to solve our biggest problems. But underneath it all is a hard truth: when you’re truly stuck, rescue always has to come from the outside. Then the show pivots to the deeper meaning behind the rescue story we all recognize but often overlook. From Moses being placed in the cleft of a rock and covered by God, to the empty tomb where the stone was rolled away, the message becomes clear: God doesn’t expect you to save yourself. 🎙️ This week’s co-hosts:John Samples – https://www.jsam.com/ & https://www.youtube.com/jsamtvTodd Bussey – https://www.facebook.com/todd.bussey.71/Bruce Templeton – https://www.instagram.com/coltoncross 👉 Visit our sponsor: Yrefy – Student Loan Refinance For Struggling Borrowershttps://yrefy.com/ 👉 For more from Wyatt Matters, head tohttps://www.wyattmattersshow.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Revenge Stories, Viral Paybacks, and Why Letting Go Is the Real Power Move | Ep. 76 | Wyatt Matters

    This week starts with something everyone understands: revenge. From classic movie lines like “I will find you” to viral real-life payback stories, the crew dives into the strange, hilarious, and sometimes genius ways people try to get even. A guy zip-ties a harmonica under his ex’s car to drive her crazy. Someone dumps 80,000 pennies in a front yard. Another freezes… well, let’s just say things get weird fast. The stories are funny, but they reveal something deeper: revenge feels good in the moment, but it keeps you tied to the very person you’re trying to escape. Then the show pivots. Steve breaks down what Jesus actually teaches about retaliation: don’t hit back. Don’t even play the game. Because the moment you stoop to someone else’s level, you become just like them. And worse... You stay stuck. 🎙️ This week’s co-hosts:Bruce Templeton – https://www.instagram.com/coltoncrossMaribeth 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/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Doom-Scrolling, A Broken World, and The Resurrection Question You Can’t Ignore | Ep. 75 | Wyatt Matters

    This special Easter episode skips the jokes and goes straight at what everyone is feeling but few can explain: something in the world feels off. From nonstop bad news to rising anxiety, people—especially younger generations—are stuck doom-scrolling through a world that feels like it’s coming apart. But at the same time, something unexpected is happening. People aren’t just drifting—they’re searching. Even skeptics, investigators, and intellectuals are taking a fresh look at the resurrection of Jesus and finding something they can’t easily dismiss. So the show asks the one question that actually matters: did Jesus really rise from the dead? Because if He didn’t, the entire Christian faith falls apart. But if He did, it changes everything—not just history, but your life right now. Through eyewitness accounts, the radical transformation of the disciples, and the stories of modern skeptics turned believers, this episode builds a simple but unavoidable conclusion: the resurrection isn’t just a belief—it’s a line in the sand. The episode closes with a direct challenge: if you feel something pulling you, don’t ignore it. That tension, that curiosity, that quiet nudge—it’s not random. And according to Steve, the time to respond isn’t someday. It’s now. 🎙️ This week’s co-hosts:John Samples – https://www.jsam.com/ & https://www.youtube.com/jsamtvTodd Bussey – https://www.facebook.com/todd.bussey.71/Bruce Templeton – https://www.instagram.com/coltoncross 👉 Visit our sponsor: Yrefy – Student Loan Refinance For Struggling Borrowershttps://yrefy.com/ 👉 For more from Wyatt Matters, head tohttps://www.wyattmattersshow.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Biting Lawyers, COVID Confusion, and Why Integrity Still Matters | Ep. 74 | Wyatt Matters

    This episode has everything: a flying shoe, a lawyer who bites coworkers, a government AI system that botches Spanish, and a hard look back at the weirdest parts of the COVID years. But the real message is about integrity. Steve breaks down Jesus’ simple command: let your yes be yes and your no be no. No games. No filters. No double life. Just truth. The takeaway is blunt: if you keep cutting corners in little things, one day you wake up and realize you’ve become someone you never meant to be. 🎙️ 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 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.

    Martini Lunchbox, Phone-Addicted Teens, and Why Following the Wrong Guide Can Ruin Everything | Ep. 73 | Wyatt Matters

    This week’s show starts with a viral headline: a child shows up at school with a vodka martini in their lunchbox. The crew laughs at the parenting fail but quickly tackles a much bigger issue—kids and smartphones. With teens averaging seven to nine hours of screen time per day, anxiety and depression are rising fast. Youth leaders describe what happens when phones are taken away for a week—and why kids themselves admit they feel better without them. Then the show looks at a bizarre sports moment where a half-marathon leader lost the race after following the wrong guide vehicle. That story becomes a powerful metaphor for life: following the wrong leader can derail everything. The episode ends with a deep look at Isaiah’s encounter with God’s holiness. When Isaiah finally sees the truth about God, he also sees the truth about himself—and it changes everything. 🎙️ 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 Borrowershttps://yrefy.com/ 👉 For more from Wyatt Matters, head tohttps://www.wyattmattersshow.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Richard Goodall, Lindsey Vonn, and Why Some People Rise After Getting Wrecked | Ep. 72 | Wyatt Matters

    It starts with Richard Goodall, the ordinary-looking janitor who stunned America, then moves to Tom Cruise’s public meltdown and unlikely comeback, and Lindsey Vonn’s painful return to the slopes. Each story asks the same question: what do you do after failure, humiliation, or loss? Then Steve brings it home with his own story of collapse, grief, rebuilding, and faith. His takeaway is simple but powerful: God often uses deep pain to prepare people for deeper purpose. Broken isn’t the end. Sometimes it’s the beginning. 🎙️ This week’s co-hosts:Todd Bussey – https://www.facebook.com/todd.bussey.71/Kimberlee 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 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.
