Want to know the #1 reason most people don’t change? They’re not honest... with themselves, with others, or with God. The truth is that change rarely lasts because we often lie to ourselves about where we really are in life.

In this episode of Not Just Sunday, Keith and Patrick are digging into the surprising barrier that keeps us stuck: self-deception. They explore why honesty, especially radical honesty with God and others, is essential for real transformation, and how friends who speak the truth in love can help us break the self-deception cycle.

Tired of feeling stuck? Craving true transformation? We hope this conversation helps you take the first step forward.

Death is unavoidable. So, why do most of us do everything we can to ignore it? In this episode, Patrick and Keith unpack why living with the end in mind is essential for following Jesus and becoming the person God calls you to be. They share how thinking about the end shapes your priorities, transforms your faith, and motivates you to become a saint one day at a time.

They dive into why our culture tends to avoid death talk and how that denial can stunt spiritual growth. They also touch on how the inevitability of death highlights the importance of holiness and character development now, not just in some distant future.

The two end by inviting listeners to ask hard questions about what kind of life and legacy they want to build before their time is up. We hope this episode inspires you to face the topic of death honestly, as this can spark real transformation and motivate you to pursue a full-time faith.

You’ve been rescued by God, but you’re not yet fully resurrected. So, what about the in-between?

In this episode of Not Just Sunday, Keith and Patrick explore the process of real, lasting change: how it happens, how long it takes, and why it’s so much harder (and slower!) than we expect.

They break down the tension between God’s role and our responsibility, and why transformation isn’t about just trying harder; it’s about being trained by Jesus. From disordered loves to spiritual disciplines, they invite you to think differently about growth, progress, and what it means to follow Jesus over time.

You'll hear why change is about more than just willpower, what it means to be trained, and how God transforms our desires, not just our behavior.

If you feel like your growth is too slow or not enough, this episode is for you. Change is possible. But it’s not instant. And we hope you walk away from this one encouraged to let God lead the pace and the process.

What do you think of when you hear the word saint? Catholicism? Mother Teresa? Someone who's "holier-than-thou"? Someone you could never become?

In this episode of Not Just Sunday, Keith and Patrick challenge the myths around sainthood and unpack what it really means to be a saint in the Christian life. They discuss why sainthood isn't reserved for the spiritually elite, breaking down the two parts of being a saint: who you are and how you live.

They explore why all Christians are already saints, but are also actively becoming saints through God’s faithfulness, not just through human effort.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in your spiritual life, or like sainthood is for “those kinds” of Christians, we hope this episode encourages you to rethink what’s possible.

What does it really mean to follow Jesus? Not just at church, but at work, in your relationships, on your commute, or when no one’s watching?

Welcome to Not Just Sunday! In this first official episode, hosts Keith Simon and Patrick Miller unpack what it means to live as a full-time Christian in a part-time world. They share personal stories about how their views of faith and “ministry” have shifted and why the Christian life can’t be confined to a church building or a Sunday morning.

Then, they dig into the concept of change: why it’s so hard, why most of us feel stuck, and what God is actually doing in us when we don’t see fast results. Together, they begin to wrestle with a big question: How does real change actually happen?

They also discuss what it means to live as a "saint" and begin to explore the deeply human process of becoming someone new by the grace of God.

Whether you're just starting to take your faith seriously or you’ve been walking with Jesus for decades, this podcast is an invitation to go deeper and to follow Jesus into all of life.

Welcome to Not Just Sunday, a brand new podcast for Christians who are tired of part-time faith, launching on September 9, 2025, with weekly episodes every Tuesday.

In this short trailer episode, hosts Keith Simon and Patrick Miller, pastors in Columbia, Missouri and creators of Ten Minute Bible Talks and Truth Over Tribe, introduce the heart behind Not Just Sunday: a podcast designed to help you follow Jesus in every area of your life, not just at church on Sunday mornings.

If you’ve ever felt like your Monday through Saturday doesn’t match your Sunday faith, you’re not alone. This podcast is for anyone who wants to leave behind “just Sunday” Christianity and learn to worship Jesus in ways you may have never thought possible.

Because the truth is: There isn't one square inch of creation that Jesus doesn’t care about or want to be involved in.

Demonic powers and politics? Is this going to be a weird campfire conversation where they share their demon stories? No, quite the opposite! You may have heard this one before! That’s because it’s an older episode, but it’s one of our favorites! And given the political chatter over the last few months, we decided to resurface it and revisit a conversation on the reality of demonic and dark spiritual forces at work in the political realm. Hear as Patrick sits down with Tim Mackie, cofounder of BibleProject, and the two have a sophisticated and candid discussion about the “powers” that Paul refers to in Ephesians. Tim shares how these spiritual powers contribute to disunity and fragmentation within the church, urging Christians to be aware of these schemes and seek unity above all else. You’ll also hear Tim share how the BibleProject navigates hot-button, cultural topics, and whether or not he believes the church should weigh in on such conversations. Listen now!

Is the Gospel really worth living for? Is it worth dying for? Depending on when you were born, you may approach these questions differently. Today’s guest, Brad East, author of “Letters to a Future Saint” and an associate professor of theology at Abilene Christian University, spends the bulk of his time with Gen Z. Listen as he shares his observations with Patrick and explains why he believes Gen Z is more conscious than older generations of the cost of following Jesus. He discusses where he thinks the church has overcorrected in Reformed circles, shying away from taboo topics like sex. He also shares some beliefs and practices that he believes we’ve lost from the ancient church. Plus, what are the biggest defeatist beliefs for young people when they think about the church? And how can Gen Z expand their spiritual journey? Listen now!

The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill. Jesus and John Wayne. Church of Cowards. Losing our Religion. Shepherds for Sale. In the last several years, there has been no shortage of negative commentaries on the Church. Why so much anti-vision? Are any Christians attempting to pave a positive path forward? Today, we’re talking with Brad Edwards, whose forthcoming book, “The Reason for the Church,” provides the positive vision that the Church needs. He and Patrick discuss why Christian culture has been stuck in an anti-vision mindset and why a negative perception around institutions as a whole is partly to blame. Brad details why the Church is so necessary and explains how many Christians have forgotten the Church’s role as a source of healing and community. But what about people who have experienced spiritual abuse at the hands of the Church? We hope this episode offers an honest-yet-hopeful vision for church as a necessary institution. Listen now!
