Is worship just singing on Sunday morning?

In this episode, we talk about what worship really is, why it matters, and how it goes far beyond music. From Romans 12 to John 4 to Revelation 4, this conversation explores worship as surrender, sacrifice, presence, and a life fully offered to God.

We also talk about corporate worship, different worship styles, spiritual pride, authenticity, and what it looks like to worship God in spirit and truth. Whether you feel deeply connected during music or struggle to engage in worship at all, this conversation will help you rethink what it means to glorify God with your whole life.

If you’ve ever wondered why worship feels powerful sometimes, distant other times, or bigger than just a song set, this episode is for you.

Scriptures referenced:
Romans 12:1
Revelation 4:6–11
John 4:21–26
Matthew 4:8–10

In this episode, Tony and Maggie get brutally honest about what prayer looks like in real life—when your mind won’t slow down, your schedule is packed, your kids are up early, and you’re carrying anxiety, grief, or distraction.

If you’ve ever felt guilty because your prayer life doesn’t match the “perfect quiet time” version you were taught, this conversation will help you breathe again—and take a practical next step.

In this episode, we talk about:
 • Why prayer is a discipline (and why that matters)
 • Breaking free from the “it has to look like this” prayer box
 • How to pray throughout the day (not just one perfect morning block)
 • Turning distractions into invitations to pray
 • Simple prayers you can pray anytime: Help. Thanks. Wow.
 • Why Jesus teaches us to pray with boldness (even “shameless audacity”)
 • Why you don’t learn prayer by reading—you learn it by practicing

Bible verses mentioned:
 • Psalm 23
 • Luke 11
 • James 4:8

If prayer feels awkward, scary, or inconsistent—don’t wait until you “feel ready.” Start practicing today.

This is one of the most debated questions in the modern church:

Can women be pastors?

In this episode, Tony and Maggie walk through Scripture, from Genesis to the New Testament, exploring what the Bible actually says about women preaching and leadership.

They discuss:
 • Galatians 3 and equality in Christ
 • The “helper” language in Genesis
 • Women leaders and proclaimers throughout Scripture
 • The “tension passages” (1 Corinthians 14 and 1 Timothy 2) and how context matters
 • Why this is not a salvation issue
 • How to disagree without dividing the Church

This conversation isn’t about winning an argument.

It’s about studying Scripture deeply, approaching it humbly, and being willing to align ourselves with what God’s Word actually says—even when it costs us something.

Whether you agree or disagree, our hope is that you’ll open your Bible, study the passages for yourself, and pursue unity in Christ.

What happens when life unravels, and God invites you to trust Him anyway?

In this raw and emotional testimony, Jordan and Michaela share their journey through addiction, anxiety, foster care, financial uncertainty, and a life-changing step of obedience. 

From panic attacks to career transitions, from mental health struggles to miraculous provision—this is the story of what it really means to go all in with Jesus.

Their vulnerability is powerful. Their faith is contagious. And their story might just be the encouragement you didn’t know you needed.

Why do we always feel like we need more?
More money. More stuff. More success. More security.

In this episode, Tony and Maggie talk honestly about contentment—where it breaks down, why comparison and culture fuel discontentment, and how Scripture reframes what real peace actually looks like.

From everyday struggles (like shoes, campers, and comparison) to deeper spiritual insight from Philippians 4 and the writings of C.S. Lewis, this conversation explores why discontentment isn’t just a bad habit—but a powerful distraction.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll be content once I get…” this episode is for you.

👉 Watch, reflect, and consider this question:
What would it look like to be at peace with what God has already provided?

Every January, millions of people make New Year’s resolutions — and most of them quit by mid-January.

So why do we keep doing this?

In this conversation, Tony and Maggie unpack why resolutions often fail and how Scripture invites us into something far better than willpower-driven self-improvement.

They talk about:

Why most resolutions collapse within weeks

The pressure people (especially women) feel to “set goals”

The difference between resolutions and spiritual commitments

Three biblical categories for real change:

1️⃣ Stop harmful things

2️⃣ Start faithful things

3️⃣ Continue fruitful things

Why your why matters more than your goal

The uncomfortable but powerful question: “What would Jesus resolve for you?”

This episode isn’t about becoming a better version of yourself — it’s about becoming the person God is forming you to be.

If you’re tired of starting over every January, this conversation will help you rethink how real transformation actually happens.

It’s Christmas — and that means lights, music, memories… and apparently strong opinions about Mary Did You Know.

In this Christmas conversation, Tony and co-host talk about:

• Why Christmas feels so emotionally powerful

• The Mary Did You Know debate (yes, we went there)

• Eggnog, Christmas music, and nostalgic traditions

• Looking back at the year and noticing how God showed up

• Gratitude, growth, and celebrating what God has done

This episode is honest, funny, reflective, and deeply human — a reminder that Christmas isn’t just about what happened then, but about recognizing what God is still doing now.

If you’re ending the year tired, grateful, reflective, or somewhere in between, this conversation is for you.

🎄 Merry Christmas.

Finding your purpose can feel overwhelming — and for many Christians, it’s easy to confuse your calling with your career. In this episode of In Between Sundays, we unpack what it really means to discover your God-given purpose… and how it’s often revealed over time, not in one big “burning bush” moment.

Tony and Maggie share their personal journeys of figuring out purpose, the tension between success and significance, and why your job isn’t always your calling. They’ll walk you through three key questions to help you uncover your unique role in God’s kingdom — and how to start living it out right where you are.

We also talk about:

👉 The difference between your universal purpose and your specific calling

👉 Why waiting for a “stamp of approval” can hold you back

👉 How your gifts, passions, and the world’s needs intersect

👉 Practical steps to test-drive ministry opportunities

Whether you’re just starting to explore your purpose or you’re ready to take the next step, this conversation will encourage you to stop waiting and start walking in the life God designed for you.

What do men really want in a relationship?

It’s not just sex or surface-level connection. In this honest and vulnerable conversation, Tony and Maggie unpack the four things most men long for in marriage: to be respected, to fight battles that matter, to feel needed and wanted, and to experience deep, authentic connection.

Whether you’re married, dating, or single—this episode will give you insight into the heart of biblical manhood, how respect fuels a man’s soul, and why emotional safety is vital for your relationship to thrive.
