Lightning Rounds

We all have regrets in our life. Whether it be hitting the Taco Bell drive-thru late at night on your way home, or not sharing the gospel with a stranger you just had a great conversation with.

Regrets are something we commonly experience in life. But does God regret?

Your favorite podcast (at least we hope to be) trio is back once again with special guest Brenden McPeek to discuss an intriguing question from a listener:

- "How do you reconcile Genesis 6:6 where it says, “and the LORD regretted that He had made man in the earth, and it grieved Him to His heart”, to the sovereign plan of giving His son for us?"

BEFORE we dive deep into that discussion the group has a laugh in a segment called:

"The McWhat?!"

There's a lot of important decisions to make in life: Does the toliet paper unwind closer to wall or further from it? Should I go back to that bowl-cut I had in elementary school? How to fight a bear... and win?

If you're like us, you've encountered some big decisions in life and felt like you didn't fully have the wisdom you needed to make the right choice. That's where you don't know if you should trust your gut, God, or your friends. Well fear not, your favorite podcast trio is back to discuss an insightful question from a listener like you:

- "How important do you think it is to get counsel from others? When making big decisions, should we just seek the Lord for direction or include seeking wisdom from others?"

BUT as always the group gets really deep into conversations over a segment called:

"Tall Tales From The West...?"

Do the current world events have you saying, "What's the point"? Are you currently curled up with some Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, eating your sorrows away as you watch the news? Or maybe you're stoked that your underground bunker project seems like it's going to pay off real soon?

No doubt, the thought of how it all ends, or our place in it all, has crossed our minds lately. The LR trio is joined by their amazingly wise guest Quincey McCook for another great episode! Today's question comes from a listener who asks:

- "How can we maintain a sense of excitement for our futures when the world is crumbling so fast?"

But before the group gets into this question they discuss hilariously bad 1950 Sci-Fi Films. Enjoy.... with some Ben & Jerry's.

Lightning has struck... Andrew, Zach, & Hollow FINALLY found a day that worked to record another episode! And this one starts off with one of their favorite segments to date: "Worst Sidekicks Ever". Seriously hilarious... you don't want to miss this one. The LR trio then takes a deep dive into the call of discipleship with this listener's question:

- "What does it look like today to fulfill the call to make disciples amongst the nations in today's culture?"

- "P.S. Do you think there is a difference between discipleship and mentoring?"

Yes, we know... we've missed you too. Where do we even begin? It's 2022?! You're probably listening to the Encanto soundtrack. The LA Rams won the Super Bowl?! Twinkies taste better frozen?! Okay... maybe that last one is unnecessary information (but seriously you should go try it... if you're not like on a diet or something). Anyways I'll stop. Just listen to this episode, it'll be better than reading this caption!

Andrew & Zach have some history with this episode's guest. From youth camps, to worship nights, and even a wedding (which you'll hear a funny story about),e they've just about seen it all with Pete Denham! The whole conversation starts off with a great segment called: "Would You Move Here?" as Pete and Zach both share about their upcoming moves across country. Enjoy this light-hearted, but also faith strengthening conversation as the these three amigos talk over these questions :  

- "Is it a sin to struggle with deconstructing your faith?"

- "What is your advice for a christian who might find themselves struggling with deconstruction and doubt?"

Today's episode has Andrew & Zach back in their unofficial studio that doubles as their office, joined with previous guest and honorable friend Brenden McPeek.

What's up! In this episode of Lightning Rounds, Andrew & Zach are feeling a little crowded in their unofficial studio, that double as their office. The duo are joined by the bearded trinity that is our A/V Team at church: Josh, Michael, & Brandon. All five of them (yes five) open the episode up by sharing facial hair facts in a segment called, "The More You Beard". Andrew, Zach, Josh, Michael, and Brandon then afterwards respond to this question sent in from a Lightning Rounds listener : 

- "What is the best way to share my faith with my family, friends, strangers, etc when I am still learning and growing in my walk with the Lord, even though I might not know all the answers but I still have a desire to be obedient to the call of the Great Commission?"
