Drop us a note about the podcast.

A child abuse arrest, a culture drowning in distraction, and a Savior who says a seed must die before it can multiply, all of it forces the same question: what are we clinging to that’s costing us our soul? I start with Jesus’ words from John 12 about losing our life in this world to keep it for eternity, then I slow down on the parts that sting: suffering, fear of people, and the temptation to ask God to remove the hard hour instead of letting Him use it for His glory. 

From there, I bring it home to Christian marriage and family. Genesis 9 calls us to be fruitful and multiply, not as a random suggestion, but as a blessing and a form of service. I talk candidly about how screens and social media can become a coping mechanism that replaces real relationships, keeping us from the honest conversations, repentance, and effort that healthy families require. If you’re looking for faith-based marriage advice, Christian parenting encouragement, or a gut check on digital distraction, this part will hit close. 

We also honor courage and leadership through history by reading Dwight D. Eisenhower’s D-Day Order of the Day, plus his private “in case of failure” statement where he takes full responsibility. That kind of accountability feels rare today, and it’s a powerful reminder that duty, humility, and trust in God can coexist even when outcomes are uncertain. I close with a clear anchor: our job is obedience, the results are God’s, and there’s real peace in that.
