    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.

    Political Blowups, Personal Meltdowns, and Why Anger Is Hard to Control | Ep. 71 | Wyatt Matters

    The State of the Union brought fireworks—but not the good kind. From silent protests to visible frustration across the chamber, the night turned into a nationwide conversation about anger in leadership and culture. But the crew quickly admits something uncomfortable: we all do it. Whether it’s losing your cool over a slow internet connection, exploding at a small mistake, or snapping at the people closest to you, anger shows up everywhere... from Congress to the kitchen table. Host Steve Wyatt digs into why anger is so powerful, why it feels justified in the moment, and why it often leaves damage behind long after the moment passes. The conversation explores the cost of uncontrolled reactions and why learning to slow down, reflect, and respond wisely might be one of the most important life skills we can develop.If you’ve ever blown up over something small and regretted it later, this episode will hit close to home. 🎙️ This week’s co-hosts:John Samples – https://www.jsam.com/ & https://www.youtube.com/jsamtvBruce Templeton – https://www.instagram.com/coltoncrossMaribeth 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 to https://www.wyattmattersshow.com/— join the newsletter, learn about the cast, and find faith-based resources that go deeper.

    Apologies, Animal Chaos, and The Word Culture Hates | Ep. 70 | Wyatt Matters

    From Bluetooth forks and GPS shoes to $1,000 smart toilets that text you hydration updates, this week’s Hot Takes prove one thing: humans have a gift for overcomplicating simple things.e The crew also takes aim at corporate buzzwords like “synergy,” “pivot,” and “paradigm shift,” exposing how jargon makes people sound smart while saying almost nothing. But then the mirror turns inward. Host Steve Wyatt draws a bold parallel between boardroom jargon and “Christianese” — the insider language that can make faith feel exclusive, exhausting, and joyless. He unpacks how religious leaders once buried simple truth under thousands of add-on rules, and how modern believers sometimes do the same. The message is clear: faith was never meant to be a bureaucratic maze. It was meant to be simple, relational, and freeing. 🎙️ 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 to https://www.wyattmattersshow.com/ — join the newsletter, learn about the cast, and find faith-based resources that go deeper.

    Smart Gadgets, Corporate Buzzwords, and Why We Make Faith So Complicated | Ep. 69 | Wyatt Matters

    Diddy’s Name Changes, Social Media Filters, and the Name God Gives You | Ep. 68 | Wyatt Matters

    What do Guinness World Records, Instagram filters, LinkedIn job titles, and Sean “Puff Daddy / P Diddy / Brother Love” Combs all have in common? Labels. And our obsession with them.This week the crew laughs through ladder-balancing stunts, social media comparison culture, creative job-title inflation, and Diddy’s endless rebrands. From fake filters to fake reinventions, the conversation exposes how often we try to polish the outside while ignoring what’s broken inside.Then Host Steve Wyatt takes it deeper. While we label people by their failures, God does the opposite. He renames people based on what they can become. From David the shepherd boy to Peter the unstable fisherman, Scripture shows a pattern: what God names, He makes.If you’ve ever believed the labels stuck to you — broken, failure, too far gone — this episode will reset that narrative. God doesn’t rebrand you. He renews you.🎙️ This week’s co-hosts:Todd Bussey – https://www.facebook.com/todd.bussey.71/Maribeth Dodd – https://www.maribethdodd.com/ & https://www.youtube.com/@TheHealthyHustlePodcastKimberlee Herman – https://www.promisehillpodcast.com/ & https://www.redeemedhopeaz.com/👉 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.
