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.

👉 A follow-up to our “What Women Want” episode, this one flips the script and explores what it means for men and women to truly understand each other.

What do women actually want from men?

In this honest and funny episode, Maggie and Tony dive into a vulnerable conversation about what women desire most in relationships — especially with men. Drawing from Scripture, real-life stories, and Maggie’s own experiences, they explore five themes: humility, being seen, safety, respect, and shared partnership.

Whether you’re married, dating, raising daughters, or just trying to be a better man — this conversation is for you.

Plus: what the Bible really says about masculinity, how men can create emotionally safe spaces, and why dishwasher loading can cause more fights than you’d expect.

Why is masculinity under attack and is the church part of the problem or the solution?

In this powerful interview, Tony sits down with Professor Nancy Pearcey, bestselling author of The Toxic War on Masculinity, to explore the cultural, historical, and biblical roots behind today’s crisis of manhood.

Whether you’re a pastor, parent, or just someone trying to navigate manhood in a confusing world, this episode will challenge assumptions and offer practical hope.

How can we stay united in a church when we disagree on… almost everything?

In this episode of In Between Sundays, Maggie and Tony get real about what it looks like to pursue unity in a diverse body of believers. From pandemic-era tensions to deeply held theological differences, they share personal stories, biblical wisdom, and practical steps for loving one another when opinions clash.

You’ll hear:

Why trust can outweigh disagreement in healthy relationships

The “window vs. mirror” principle for engaging with different perspectives

Biblical examples of diversity making the Church stronger

Practical ways to walk with people instead of just standing on issues

If you’ve ever felt the tension of loving someone whose worldview is very different from yours, this conversation will encourage you to lean in instead of walk away.

Description: We paused our regular schedule to process this week’s events, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk and another school shooting, and how followers of Jesus can respond with wisdom, courage, and compassion. This isn’t an easy conversation, and we don’t claim to have all the answers. But in the middle of fear, division, and grief, our hope is to point you back to Jesus, the only true source of peace and hope.

In this episode, we wrestle with questions like:

 Why does this tragedy feel so different?

 How should Christians respond when the world feels like it’s falling apart?

 What does forgiveness look like in moments of hate and violence?

 How do we move forward as the Church without losing sight of Jesus?

What do you do when the people you trust most in your church are the ones who hurt you?

From small disappointments to life-altering abuse, “church hurt” covers a spectrum of pain—and it’s far more common than most of us realize. In this candid conversation, we share our own stories of hurt inside the church, unpack why it feels so personal, and explore how to heal without losing your faith.

We’ll talk about:

The difference between abuse and disappointment in church life

Why hurt in the church cuts deeper than in other areas of life

Practical steps to process your pain and find safe people

How forgiveness, patience, and leaning in can lead to healing

Whether you’ve been hurt by gossip, poor leadership, betrayal, or worse, our prayer is that you’ll discover hope, perspective, and a next step toward restoration.

If you’ve experienced church hurt—you are not alone.

We’re here to say: we’re sorry for what happened, and we believe God can heal what’s been broken.

Most of us worry about money more than we want to admit. Will there be enough? Will I be able to provide for my family? In this episode of In Between Sundays, we tackle the fear of not having enough—and what Jesus really meant when He said, “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the Kingdom.” (Luke 12:32)

Tony and Maggie share real-life stories about financial anxiety, cultural pressure to have “more,” and the difference between God’s provision and our own definitions of success. We explore how generosity and gratitude work together to break the cycle of fear, why contentment is more powerful than wealth, and how to live with peace in a culture of FOMO and comparison.

Whether you’ve got plenty in the bank or you’re wondering how to make ends meet, this conversation will help you shift from scarcity to abundance—without falling for prosperity gospel promises.

What if your biggest enemy isn’t your past, but how often you relive it?

In this episode of In Between Sundays, Tony and Maggie unpack the power of rumination, the trap of shame, and why we so often dwell on past mistakes, even long after they’ve happened.

Drawing from Isaiah 43 and real stories from their lives, they explore how to move forward in faith, process past trauma with honesty, and rediscover your identity in Christ.

Whether you’re stuck in regret or haunted by your own voice, this episode will remind you: you are not your mistakes.

Whether you’re stepping into a new season or clinging to stability, this conversation will remind you:

Courage isn’t about being fearless—it’s about being connected.
