August 15, 2024 EP:26| "Because you don't say no to you, you don't say yes to me"
How often do you tell yourself no? Like most of us (AJ & Sheldon) included we don't tell ourselves often enough. We have either A) never learned the art of self-denial or B) just forgotten about it.
In this episode, we navigate the social media landscape and how we can get back to the urgency of saying no to ourselves so we can say yes to God.

June 26, 2024 EP:24| “You need community more in the good times than you do in crisis” FT. Josh Thomas
Welcome back L&B family. We are coming with another installment with our fellow friend, brother, pastor, and amusical artist Josh Thomas. In the episode, we talk about why friendships are tough and what qualities to look for. We realize that because of our worldview, everything will look different when looking through the eyes of the bible. So take a chance and ask Jesus how to navigate your own friendships!

May 30, 2024 EP:23| Stop Watching P*rn
What's up L&B family, this is a solo dolo pod and it gets personal and honest. The goal of this episode is not to condemn you but to inspire you to seek freedom from the chains of p*rn and masturbation.
Here are some disturbing facts about p*rn consumption by the Barna Group in a 2016 study:

13% of all Christians

41% of male Christians 13-24

23% of Christians 25 and up

13% of Christian females aged 13-24

5% of Christian females over 25

21% of youth pastors and 14% of pastors

Our prayer is that you find freedom in this area and that you open yourself up to allow God to show you what's better than the bondage that you are walking in. In Jesus's name, the chains that have you locked into this destructive habit will break!

May 20, 2024 EP:22| Everything Has Influence
What's up L&B family, in this episode your hosts talk about how the things that we listen to can subconsciously subject us to certain behaviors and mindsets. But not just what we listen to but, how everything all the time, the world is communicating something to us. This is why we must stay on guard at all times!

April 17, 2024 EP:20| The Joy of Consistency
Something that we can all agree on is that we struggle with consistency in some way. Some of us simply lack the discipline or rather the belief that it is not possible to be consistent (This is a lie straight from HELL!)

With the help of God & community, consistency can be yours if you choose its path!

In this episode, your hosts talk about their journey with consistency and joy that comes from it!
