April 02 The Problem With Good Friday
We’ve been told the cross is where God made a way to forgive us. But what if it wasn’t a transaction—what if it was revealing a God who’s already forgiven? This episode takes a fresh look at Good Friday, and the freedom we’ve been missing.

March 04 The Problem With Being Responsible
Responsibility sounds noble. Until it starts stealing your joy. So what if the problem isn’t responsibility, but what we’ve turned it into? This is a story about a winter storm, a closed kitchen, a foil-wrapped burrito, and the quiet way grace interrupts what we think is important.

February 17 After The Argument
We all know the exhaustion of having to be right. But what if faith isn’t about winning the conversation at all? That question followed me into a freezing Ohio night after dinner with a new friend I deeply disagree with. A John Prine song, a glowing Waffle House, and a line from Jesus quietly reframed everything.

February 03 Grace Isn't Working
What if the kingdom of God feels less like a courtroom and more like an open mic in a funeral home? In this episode, Russ begins with a homemade parable and follows it upstream—into church history, theology, and the distorted image of God that turned grace into pressure. A story about why explanation hasn’t set us free—and why the right God just might.

January 21 Fearing The Unfamiliar
Leaving what has been labeled "church" isn’t hard because it’s wrong—it’s hard because it’s unfamiliar. We talk honestly about the fear, struggle, and clarity that come with stepping into a faith built on relationships, not religious structures. Even what that looks like with your kids. If you’ve felt the tension between peace and uncertainty, this conversation is for you.

January 13 When Leaving Church Isn't Enough
Many people leave what has been labeled “church” and finally feel relief—only to discover they’re still not as free as they expected. In this episode, Russ explores why clarity isn’t the same as freedom, how self-reliance quietly survives outside religion, and why real freedom requires more than understanding—it requires a different way of life.

December 23, 2025 Why Christmas Still Feels Heavy
Christmas keeps promising peace, joy, and hope—but for a lot of people, it mostly delivers pressure. Pressure to feel grateful. Pressure to believe harder. Pressure to pretend everything’s okay.

In this episode, we talk about Emmanuel—not as a seasonal slogan, but as the truth we were never taught to rest in. Not God watching. Not God waiting. God with us—right in the ache, the doubt, and the unfinished parts of life.

October 09, 2025 A Sneak Peak
What happens when the faith you’ve spent your life defending finally collapses under its own weight? In this episode, Russ shares the story behind his new book All A Lark—a night in a Chicago bar that cracked open everything he thought he knew about God, faith, and freedom. Turns out, the gospel that lets you quit trying is the only one worth trusting.
