Don't be fooled; today's guest Finn Z. Lenz is the same person you hear in the intro... Yes, That Finn! Was our producer tempted to throw a filter on his voice to match the way he sounded over 5 years ago when we first recorded the intro? Perhaps!  Pastor Zac and his oldest son, Finn chat about the past year at King's Academy, the upcoming summer including a "RHODE TRIP" https://www.rhodetrip.com/  Topic Ideas: [email protected]

In 1992 Jamie Walters asked the question; "How Do You Talk To An Angel" via a single which was cleverly used as the intro to the tv series: "The Heights".  Today, Pastors Zac and Ashley answer a similar question: 'How do you talk to your teenager?'.  There's a lot of differences from 1992 to today... for example; nobody has a beeper these days. Remember Beepers?  How you just felt better getting a "143" from your crush, or how your heart started pounding in your chest if one of your parents beeped you with your home phone number followed by "911". Those were the days. Anywho - enjoy this episode and Congratulations to all those graduating High School and/or college!

André Lauren Benjamin, better known by his stage name André 3000, once said that "Roses really smell like Poo-Poo-Ooh"... and while he had a propensity to 'run out of sugar', forcing him to ask his neighbors if he could borrow some; this modern-day philosopher was right on the money when it came to the fruit of this expensive, thorny flower... Thusly Pastors Zac and Ashley discuss the finer tenets of Romance... and I beg you to recognize the plurality of the word "tenets". Topic Ideas: [email protected]

This may not be the episode to play over the car's bluetooth with children in the backseat or turned way up as you drive with windows open, besides, it's been like 30°F-40°F lately, why are you driving around with the windows open anyway? The 4-Week Marriage Intensive has concluded but the recaps continue in this and the next episode... In fact, here's a little tease for next week: The title is "Sex and Money... but Mostly Money"... ya catch my drift? What more can I say, although I will say this, how annoying is it that you can't use an ampersand in podcast titles? It's 2025, how has this issue not been resolved?  You put an "&" and do you see that?  That's supposed to be an ampersand, but instead it's madness... and how many listeners could spell "ampersand" without consulting google or siri or regina or jamie, or whatever AI assistant you use.
