Where has AI taken the place of the Holy Spirit in your life? In Episode 106, we talk reliance vs. relationship, why shortcuts can’t shape the soul, and how to stay human when everything’s instant. Also: cold plunges, content fatigue, and Kayla’s birthday.

When life feels stuck and God feels silent, the wilderness can seem like a waste. But it might be the very place He’s doing His best work. In week 4 of Kiss the Fire, Ryan Wekenman reminds us that God is working when you can’t see it and walking with you when you can’t feel it.

Halloween, Taylor’s album, Netflix, and social media.  How do we live in the world without becoming of the world?
We talk parenting, culture, and choosing not battle back against our tendency to love the darkness.

When the fire feels too hot to stand, faith teaches us to stay. Shawn Johnson opens up about his diagnosis, his anger, and the moment he chose to worship anyway. Because even when healing doesn’t come how we expect it’s still not the end of the story.

From caffeine to culture, what’s really feeding you? The crew talks sports, how caffeine affects your brain, and why we chase what drains us.

When the race feels too long and the fire too hot, faith isn’t just belief but endurance. Doug Wekenman reminds us that sometimes the miracle isn’t in escaping the fire but in finding a second wind right in the middle of it.

Angie Noack, a licensed counselor and neurofeedback specialist, joins the crew to talk all things brain mapping, healing, and hope.

We dig into how neurofeedback helps retrain the brain, the science behind anxiety and addiction, and why our ability to change might be the clearest proof that we were made by design.

You can’t heal what you keep running from. In Week 1 of Kiss The Fire, Ethan Matott reminds us that God doesn’t leave us in the fire. He meets us there.

Why do we sing when life feels heavy? Why does worship break chains we can’t? And what does it mean that the King is returning? In week 4 of Rowdy Church, Ryan teaches us that worship is self-demotion, a weapon, and a reminder of the unshakable kingdom.
