This week on The Weekend Joyride, Mac and Rhoni are talking about why people seem to be craving “real” again.

Real books. Real conversations. Real memories. Real places. Real rest.

Inspired in part by Phil Wickham’s song “Hometown,” this episode turns into a thoughtful and personal conversation about familiar roads, grief, healing, church seasons, Pastor Ray, little escapes, summer reading, baseball cards, grounding, gardens, and the God who still knows how to surprise us.

Mac and Rhoni reflect on why shallow things do not help much when life hurts — and why ordinary things may matter more than we realize.

Maybe people want real again because real is where God has been meeting us all along.

This week, take the long way home and let God surprise you.
