On this episode, Katie Hays shares her story of growing up around cultural Christianity, walking through anxiety and depression, and experiencing a sexual assault by someone she trusted. We talk honestly about the aftermath of false guilt, complicated community responses, reporting, and the slow grind of the court process, along with the turning point that led her to place her faith and hope in Jesus.

While this episode covers topics often avoided, the focus is on moving out of shame and reclaiming the victory we have in Christ. We explore how Scripture reframes identity, justice, and courage in the midst of suffering.

In this bonus episode, Brody and JB talk all things Santa—sharing funny stories about how they found out and using them to explore what Christmas traditions teach kids about belief, trust, and faith. Brody explains why his family moved away from presenting Santa as real and how making Santa an all-knowing figure can blur important lines for children.

Instead of going all in or opting out, they offer a middle path: keep the fun, tell the truth early, and keep Christ and generosity at the center of the holiday season by using these practical tips for making the shift without unnecessary tension.

See Advent in a whole new way! In this episode, Brody and JB unpack the previous episode's sermon, exploring why Jesus’ genealogy matters and how Advent reveals unexpected depth. Brody traces Jesus’ baptism, genealogy, and wilderness temptation, showing a Savior who stands with sinners and confronts evil head-on, all pointing back to the promise in Isaiah 9.

We see how grace is woven through Jesus’ lineage in the stories of Rahab, Tamar, and Ruth. For anyone carrying wounds, facing injustice, or longing for hope, Advent shows a God who enters our story, bears our burdens, and promises a kingdom of lasting peace.

Brody pauses before the holiday rush to look at the small, steady habits that actually shape a grateful life. He shares childhood holiday memories and the new traditions he and Little are building with their family.
