This week on Bald and Sassy, Chris & Chris kick things off with some Thanksgiving football talk before shifting into something a little deeper: Advent — what it really means, where it comes from, and why it still matters today.

We take a quick look at the ancient roots of Advent, a season the early Church set aside for repentance, reflection, and preparing their hearts for the arrival of Christ. From fourth-century fasting to medieval traditions, Advent has always been about waiting — but not the kind of waiting our world knows.

Because let’s be honest…

In this episode, we unpack what Scripture says about waiting (Psalm 27:14, Isaiah 40:31, Romans 8:25), why it’s more like formation than frustration, and how Advent teaches us to hope with expectation, patience, and trust. We talk through why waiting feels so hard, how God uses it to shape us, and how to slow down enough to hear His voice in a season buzzing with noise.

Whether you’re waiting for answers, direction, healing, or just the next step — this one’s for you.

Settle in, breathe deep, and join us as we learn to wait well in a world that rushes everything.

This week on Bald & Sassy, Chris & Chris dive into a word we don’t hear much anymore… but desperately need: consecration. What does it really mean to be “set apart” for God in a world constantly pulling us in every other direction? And how do we pursue holiness without slipping into legalism, shame, or spiritual burnout?

In this episode, we talk through the Scriptures that call us to live differently — Romans 12, 1 Peter 1, Joshua 3, and more — and we unpack what consecration looks like in real life: our habits, our relationships, our purity, our purpose, and our daily surrender.

We get real about the challenges too: distractions, compromise, cultural pressure, and the parts of our flesh that do not want to die quietly. But we also talk about the joy, the freedom, and the power that come when we let God reshape us from the inside out.

If you’ve been feeling the tension between who you were and who God is calling you to become… this episode is for you.

Honest, challenging, encouraging — and of course, a little sassy — this conversation invites all of us to draw nearer, go deeper, and live fully set apart for Jesus.

This week on Bald and Sassy, Chris & Chris are diving headfirst into the wild, wonderful, and sometimes emotionally confusing world of Thanksgiving. From family dynamics that feel straight out of a sitcom… to the deep gratitude moments that catch you off guard… we’re unpacking what makes this holiday both hilarious and holy.

We’re kicking things off with some fun Thanksgiving trivia, crazy NFL Thanksgiving Day stats, and our hot takes on the Cowboys’ playoff hopes (because what’s Thanksgiving without football and bold predictions?).

Then we shift into the heart stuff — navigating family expectations, finding peace in the chaos, practicing gratitude when life’s heavy, and remembering why thankfulness is a command, not just a vibe.

Whether your Thanksgiving looks like Pinterest… or your uncle arguing about football while the turkey burns, this episode will make you laugh, breathe, and hopefully thank God a little deeper.

Join us for stories, Scripture, and a whole lot of laughter as we talk real faith in real life — Thanksgiving style.

Happy almost-turkey-day, fam! 🦃🙏🏽🍂

Last week, Payton shared what it looked like to drift from God’s purpose. This week, he shares what it means to return.

In Part 2, we talk about finding clarity in the noise, letting go of old habits, and rediscovering the joy of living fully surrendered to Jesus. Payton walks us through how God met him in his struggle—and how life on purpose is worth every step back.

This episode is a powerful reminder that grace doesn’t just forgive you—it restores you.

We’ve all been there—caught between who God’s called us to be and who the world wants us to be. In this honest conversation, we sit down with high school senior Payton McAllister as he opens up about what it’s like to live “two lives”—one chasing the world, and one longing for Jesus.

From the quiet drift away from God’s purpose to the heavy feeling of spiritual distance, Payton’s story reminds us that conviction isn’t condemnation—it’s an invitation home.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the middle, this one’s for you.

This week on Bald and Sassy, Chris & Chris dive into some of the real questions about faith and spirituality that every believer faces at some point — from doubts and dry seasons to hearing God’s voice and finding peace in the middle of life’s chaos.

It’s not about having perfect faith, but about being honest in the struggle and learning how God meets us there. Join the conversation as we unpack what it looks like to follow Jesus authentically — even when the answers aren’t clear.

This week on Bald and Sassy, we’re diving into the big questions everyone wrestles with — What’s my purpose? How do I know God’s plan for my life? What if I’m scared of the future? We talk about what it looks like to follow Jesus when you don’t have all the answers, how to trust Him in uncertainty, and why surrendering your plans might be the most freeing thing you ever do.

It’s honest, hopeful, and a reminder that even when you can’t see the full picture, God is already working out your future for good.

It’s Friday, which means it’s time for some football talk with the Bald and Sassy crew! 🏈

We’re kicking off the weekend with a brand-new format — splitting up our sports and mentorship conversations so you can get your football fix heading into game day. This week, we’re talking crazy upsets, Joe Flacco’s in-division trade, and the Dallas Cowboys looking playoff ready.

Join Chris & Chris for bold takes, big laughs, and all the energy you need heading into the weekend. Whether you’re watching from the couch or the stands, this one’s for the fans who love football, fun, and a little friendly debate. 💥

This week on Bald and Sassy, we’re tackling some of the real questions that every believer wrestles with at some point — even if we don’t always say them out loud.

Join Chris and Chris as they get real about the wrestle, the waiting, and the grace that meets us in both. This episode is for anyone who’s ever wondered if they’re doing faith “right” — spoiler: God’s not looking for perfect, just present.

In this episode of Bald and Sassy, we sit down with one of our students, Lucas Baldwin, to talk about what it means to serve with joy. From helping out at church to showing up for others behind the scenes, Lucas shares how serving has shaped his faith, stretched his comfort zone, and deepened his relationship with God.

We dive into what it looks like to serve when it’s not easy, how to keep your heart right when no one’s watching, and why joy is found not in being seen — but in being faithful.

If you’ve ever wondered how to serve God with passion and purpose, even in the small things, Lucas’s story is a powerful reminder that every act of service can be worship.
