You are going to have to listen and watch this episode multiple times to fully extract all of the great knowledge shared! We have a great conversation with Dr. Hugh Ross - a Christian astrophysicist who explains how science proves the Bible over and over again. We discuss how science captivates everyone – people of all ages and people of all beliefs. Then we throw every question we can think of at Hugh, and he drops tons of knowledge on us. What would happen if the universe was just the tiniest bit bigger or smaller? How old is the earth and how long were the days in the creation story of the Bible? Does the Bible make scientific claims? What do fossils tell us about creation versus evolution? What is beyond the universe? Could we colonize the moon or Mars? Why did God create the universe? Is time travel possible? Golden asteroids, tiny spaceships, huge spaceships, and much, much more!

Adam French is back with us again. This time we go into detail about the new ministry facility he is starting called Recovery Refuge. It's a taylor made resident recovery program that designs treatment plans to each individual. We get into some addiction statistics and learn that the fight is much closer to us than we may think. Adam also discusses the Spanish translation of his book Mandenity. More than 4300 prisoners use Mandenity as a treatment tool every month.

Who does everyone turn to when you can't find something? Who do you call when you want to tell great news or sad news? We all know moms hold things together so we brought in 3 moms with 10 kids between them that range in age from 5 years old all the way to 40 something. That is a lot of experience and motherly advice to share for every stage of parenting! Ann, Dana, and Sondra share things that worked great for their kids and also share some things that they wish they could have done a little different. Sondra has a rocket arm when it comes to throwing a football. Daniel makes up several new words.

On a recent episode we learned what "Ghosted" means - and then it happened to us! We were stood up by a guest so we proceed to talk about that and so much more!! Story Time with Russell is back with some gems! Russell doesn't carry cash or credit cards and that got him into a tight spot. We do a Skittles Challenge - do they really have different flavors? How do you open a straw, do you have trouble turning your brain off, and speculating what could have happened to our guest are some of the other topics we hit on in this made up in the moment episode.

The great debate continues from the last episode and we have some fresh perspectives as Andrew and Brandon give their take on the issue. What is your sleep quality like when you have a big event the next day? When we get to the topic of the day, discipleship, we look at it from many angles. What does it mean to make disciples? Do we live our Christianity in a bubble? Do you expect God to speak when you read scripture? And we touch on how Satan uses "Godly" things to actually pull us away from God.

A fairly simple question has turned into a debate that has gone on for many weeks after recording the episode. And things have ballooned to involve many more people and impassioned points of view. Are Funyuns chips? Choose your side and don't back down. This is Ryan's last episode before the baby arrives and he decides he will let people hold the baby if they bring Mexican Pizzas from Taco Bell. How can you police sharing streaming accounts, worst sports contracts ever, and Ryan has a multimillion dollar TV idea.

Our friend Andrew Phillips makes his podcast debut and we dive in to all kinds of topics - kids sleeping habits, night terrors, raccoons wreaking havoc again, coaching kids sports, and more. We also hear how Andrew's parents went through a kidney transplant and the change that has been in their lives. Most of the episode is spent on learning about enneagrams - what is it, and where do each of us fall on the scale. We go deep into some personality traits, good and not so good, for each of us. Ryan is shocked to learn he has been calling someone by the wrong name for an extended period of time.

It's the one year anniversary for the show and we drop some big news! As we talk about our new technology, we also get into how young people date today and the role technology plays in that. Jana Claire shares some struggles of overcoming major challenges as she prepared to go to college. She also shares what it is like to have an adopted sibling come live with you. Ryan forgets who sponsors the show, and we try to talk about Pam's random shoe finds around the city. There was no traction on that topic....again.

What happens when 8 kids take over the podcast? We get some great laughs, and get some great (?) answers to questions. What does God look like? How much money does your dad make at work? What do your parents do when you go to bed? What is something God wants us to do? These kids answer all this and more. Laughs and great insight abound in this episode!

Pick up the trash. What does that mean to Drew Maddux? He explains how picking up the trash has become an attitude that guides him every day. We also hear how we are all made for a purpose, on purpose, with purpose. Drew also likes to E.A.T. and doesn't mind telling others about it. When we talk about basketball, Drew tells how he was driven as a child to practice and how that carried over into his adult life. There are some connections that go back to high school between Drew, Stefano, and Daniel.
