You can be engaged in spiritual warfare at any moment, that is why it is critical to be prepared at all times. The guys discuss a recent encounter with spiritual warfare and how they responded. They discuss Ephesians 6:10 and how we can put on the full armor of God. As followers of Jesus, we all will be tempted and face trials but how we respond and who we turn to in trials or temptations make the difference!

The guys get back from Man church weekend conference and discuss the call of biblical manhood. What does being a man of God look like according to the bible? What does it mean to be the spiritual leaders of our household? How should I respond to sin in my life? All these were great challenging questions we reflected on over the weekend and the answers would only be found by going to war with the flesh. Unpack this weekend with us as we recall speakers, topics, and challenges given!

So you think you can date? Culture paints a much different picture of what dating should look like than what the bible tells us. From Tv, to social media, to billboards. The evil one uses culture to sway our decisions in our everyday life by making things look like the "normal" or "popular" thing to do. How can young Christians navigate all of these decisions especially when it comes to dating? Listen as Morgan and Jonah join the podcast to share a few laughs, their testimonies and what dating looks like for them and one thing that is more important to them than each other... Jesus!

What a better topic to discuss on Valentines day than our insufficiency's without our lovely wives. Jonathan and Dakota take it back to Genesis with the first man Adam as they discuss why God made women and life that wouldn't be possible without them. Listen as they carefully and almost surgically stick their foot in their mouth trying to explain Ephesians 5:22-25. The guys attempt to rebound and discuss how the life that they now have in Christ would not be possible without their strong Christian wife that God placed in their life. I assure you this is one you don't want to miss.

The guys have a great in depth discussion with music director of Agape Baptist Church Matt Whitehead about how God uses music in our worship and the joys that it brings! Matt shares his testimony of how God gave him a passion for music at an early age and how ultimately through trials and a bit of a prodigal son phase, God used his brokenness to restore him to his passion in a way that he never thought that he wanted.
