Lynette sat down with Barry Graul from MercyMe, and he's here to remind us that God’s wonder can still break through our busy, coffee‑fueled lives—and sometimes that comes by way of a guitar riff!

Their new album, Wonder and Awe, leans into joy and rediscovering the beauty of God’s creation, all while the legacy of “I Can Only Imagine” continues tugging at our hearts. With the Abbotsford concert on April 23rd and I Can Only Imagine 2 hitting theaters February 20th, the band clearly isn’t slowing down anytime soon.

Stepping into faith for the first time can feel both exciting and overwhelming, and Brant offers three simple, grounding reminders that speak right to the heart.

He encourages new believers to tuck God’s Word into memory so it can steady and guide them in everyday moments, to lean into community because we were never meant to walk this journey alone, and to keep your eyes on God rather than the imperfections of people.

Winter may feel far away, but February 2026 is already shaping up to be an unforgettable weekend for teens across the Pacific Northwest. The Steadfast Northwest youth event is bringing students together for two days packed with energy, truth, and the kind of community every young person needs. With the theme “Set Apart,” this conference dives into what it really means to follow Jesus in a world full of mixed messages. Think powerful teaching, Christ-centered worship, and a whole lot of fun—all hosted right in Bellingham by Spring Creek Bible Church.

If you’ve been dreaming about sprucing up your space—or just love wandering through tiny homes and around hot tubs you might buy someday—the Home Leisure and Outdoor Living Expo in Chilliwack is your new happy place! This weekend, you can explore everything from pools to sunrooms to custom home builders, all while enjoying free admission and parking by donation. And yes, the legendary Brian Minter himself will be there hosting gardening seminars all three days. Bring your questions, your curiosity, and maybe a friend who can talk you out of (or into) buying a swimming pool on impulse.

There’s something powerful about watching God restore hope in a young person’s story. The Resilient Project, founded by Nat Tillis in 2019, is a faith-driven mentoring program supporting underserved youth who have faced trauma and adversity. Caring adults commit to spending weekly time with their mentees, helping them uncover the gifts God has placed within them. With 64 kids enrolled and only half currently matched, the need for mentors is still great. To learn more or make a referral, visit resilientproject.org.

Have you ever stumbled across a town name so long it feels like someone fell asleep on their keyboard? That’s exactly what Sherri and I got into—specifically an 85‑letter New Zealand town name that I’m convinced requires both a linguistics degree and a hydration break to pronounce. And all I could think was: imagine being a high school cheerleader trying to fit that on a megaphone. Honestly, by the time you finish the first syllable, halftime is over.

The name of the town you ask?

Brant and Sherri dive into how most of us barely know the people living just a few feet away, and honestly—it’s kind of wild how normal that’s become. Between garage‑door living and packed schedules, it’s no wonder we’re waving at neighbors we couldn’t name if our lives depended on it.

This is a reminder that real community doesn’t magically appear anymore; it grows slowly, on purpose, with tiny moments of effort. And if it feels hard, that’s because it is—but it’s also worth it.

Holiday cheer meets holiday boundaries in Brant’s original song, “Get Out.” 🎄🔔 It’s the perfect festive anthem for those guests who just don’t know when to leave—complete with jingle bells, polite hints, and a tongue‑in‑cheek threat to call the cops.

Harvard says asking for advice makes you look smarter—but Brant isn’t buying it. After all, nothing says “genius” like wandering AutoZone or Home Depot looking lost while internally begging for help with car parts or power tools. Sherri’s with him on this one, proving that sometimes “competence” is just a fancy word for “I still don’t know what I’m doing.”
