Secret menu items: we mention our total faves. But we are nervous to order them.

There's a whole book of the Bible that is written for the express purpose of helping you be sure of your faith in Jesus and your forever-future with God.

If anyone is going to have a teenager anytime soon, Johnathon shares his memorable 13th birthday experience and what made it so great.

Lindsey makes garden pie, she says it is the greatest summer dish there is. Listen and find out how.

Ephesians 2:10 usually says we are God's handiwork, masterpiece, or workmanship. We check out a different version that uses another amazing word.

Lindsey shares why she doesn't suggest isolating your kid when they throw a tantrum

Rejoice in God despite trouble...somehow

Johnathon's friend injured himself with butter and listeners guess cow (er, how)

People really do review churches on Yelp and Google just like it was a restaurant.

Jesus made watermelons. Some people eat them (like us) and other people buy explosives and blow them up at the 4th of July. Some people like that actually listen to our show and this guy Brian called in to describe the entire scene. Always obey local laws and if you blow something up like this, please always call us with a report.

Just for this epi, we've renamed our podcast "Jesus and Italian Food."

Johnathon has a joyously-pretentious Italian friend who often looks down on any non-authentic Italian food, and Johnathon tells him about his good experience at Fazoli's.

Johnathon here. This is no paid announcement or infomercial. I am a better person today because I am connected and not isolated. Yes, with friends in person and the town where I live, but also with people I grew up with, most all of my family members (all of whom live hours away) friends from college and so many more.

We use the free app Marco Polo. Today's chat is with Vlada Bortnik the CEO of the company and who co-founded the tech company which produces this app because she wanted her kids to know their grandparents who live on a different continent.

One review of the Marco Polo app said: "“I moved across the country 2 years ago and this app has been the best thing to happen for my now long-distance friendships. I have a group chat with my 5 best girlfriends and we are able to keep up with each other’s lives, see their babies and fur babies and other things that remind me of my old city. It’s great! I highly recommend it. 😊”

I may or may not appear in this video talking about how Marco Polo is The Antidote to Loneliness.

Again, I'm not getting paid for this! I'm just a Polo-vangelist because it's been so good for my life. We even get into talking about why balance is not a good thing to strive for in life, and why some conversations are just better when they're NOT live and in-person.

Highly recommend shereadstruth.com and hereadstruth.com and kidsreadtruth.com

Apparently most people prefer the front left stove burner (BUT WHO CARES!!)
