Sebastian Fernandez joins me to talk about building Hearth, redefining hospitality, and the faith that kept him moving when the practical answer was to quit. We also explored how creativity, excellence, and genuine care for people can quietly point them toward Jesus.

Roni is back!!! We're talking about America, rights, and what freedom means from a Christian perspective. We look at the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence, all the ways we use the word “right,” and what Scripture says Christians are actually promised by their Creator. It’s a conversation about faith, government, and what it means to follow Jesus in a country built around religious freedom.

In this episode, my wife Sammie and I talk about one of the strangest and most formative seasons of my life. What started as an act of obedience turned into a much longer journey of waiting, wrestling, and slowly discovering what God was actually doing. It’s a more me-centered conversation than usual about calling, uncertainty, and learning to trust God in the middle of the process.

Michael Kern is back to talk about Christians and horror. Why the genre gets singled out, how conscience and worldview shape what we watch, and what horror can reveal about fear, evil, catharsis, and redemption. Then we discuss the surprise horror hits Backrooms and Obsession, why these indie films are resonating, and what their stories might have to say about desire, trauma, consent, and freedom.

It's our end of year movie round up! Michael and I each share our ten favorite movies of 2025.

Michael Kern is back, and we've each assembled our personal lists of the twenty-five best films of the century.

Enjoy a very raw and unedited telling of the story of our son's birth! :)

Trent joins me to explore the meaning of the word “saved” in the Bible, and the Protestant tendency to narrow the focus of that idea. We discuss how Scripture uses salvation language to talk about justification, sanctification, and glorification—and argue that salvation is much broader than our language would often indicate.

Roni joins me to explore the world's sexual ethic through the lens of Sabrina Carpenter's recent shift to more a sexualized aesthetic and music. We talk through the definitions of innocent, naive and coy, and wrestle with the morality of Sabrina's music both from a Christian and secular perspective.

It's time to look back at 2024 and rank our favorite movies! Michael Kern joins me for the first time to share and consider the best (and the worst) of the past year.
