Everybody loses sometimes. How do we handle it - do we lose with grace and learn something, or do we let it affect our attitude in a negative way? In this episode we look at some recent and not so recent loses and how we try to take something positive away. We also get into using the gifts God has given us and are we seeking his will or ours. Your work ethic and attitude are more important than the results. Bring on the sports analogies!

Volume #2 of outtakes is here! There are some bloopers as well, but most of this episode are just things that did not make the cut on their original episode. You will get to see some of the conversations that happen while we wait for an interview to start, chit chat before and after an episode, and sometimes things that happen mid-episode that just don't make the cut. We want to give you a behind the scenes glimpse of some of the good stuff that has never been seen. The best stuff that doesn't get aired? That will be on the subscription model one day. Maybe.

In this episode we discuss understanding scripture for brand new and "old" Christians. We hit on why there are different details in different books of the Bible when they are telling the same story. All four of us share tips on how to better understand scripture, and we also discuss how our kids keep us accountable. Do we read the Bible to check a box, or to get something out of it? All that and we try to let Ryan end the show......again.

Christian fiction author and book coach K.L. Gilchrist joins the podcast to share her story, and give some advice to aspiring writers. We discuss things like how long does it take to write a book and is writers block a real thing. We also talk about spiritual issues such as are you disguising your faith from others? How and where does God speak to you? Maybe it can happen in church while eating M&M's. Want to know where the best burrito is in Harrisburg, PA? We got that covered too!

Fuz Rana, President and CEO of Reasons to Believe, joins the podcast to discuss the troubling issue of human trafficking. Fuz has seen first hand the traumatic effects of trafficking, and has also seen what the Gospel can do to drastically change the lives of those affected. We also hear what it was like growing up in a house with a Muslim father and Catholic mother. And we dive in to the work life of a biochemist, evolution vs. creation, why become a scientist, and more in this jam packed episode!

Our most controversial guest ever.....someone who leads music in a church! Worship pastor J. Robinett stops by to give us a behind the scenes look at what goes in to leading worship music. We talk about differences in large and small churches, volunteers vs. paid performers, and contemporary vs. traditional church music. We also discuss some new math, football, and spouse complaints. The controversy continues the entire episode!

What is the currency of tomorrow going to look like? What is an NFT and how will we be using them in the future? Cryptocurrency - what is it, how do I get it, where can I use it? We get into all of this and more with Ryan Kumar. His businesses have been featured in Forbes and other notable outlets. Ryan helps explain what the future of money could look like, and how we need to prepare now to take advantage later. We also hear about Mintdropz - Ryan's platform for creators which is looking to make a huge splash in the market.

We take a look at some life hacks to see see if they actually work or not. Some we actually try out ourselves to get some real results. It may be a little bit of a mixed bag, but the fun never stops. Ty and Savannah join us to give some fresh perspective. They also show us how you can eat a cupcake in one bite. Sit back, relax, and take notes on how to do some things a little easier.

This episode is a small sample of some of our bloopers and mistakes. There are also some outtakes of things that just didn't make the final cut from past episodes. Of course there is a lot more that could be on here, but we hope you enjoy some of the silly stuff we don't get to share every week!

This one is pretty simple - we set up a couple of cameras and microphones, hit record, and Brooke and Andrew Phillips treated us to an acoustic Christmas mini concert. There is also a special guest appearance for a song or two. Crank up the volume and sing along! Merry Christmas!
