Today we're joined by For King and Country's Joel Smallbone, who stars in a new biopic debuting this week, Unsung Hero. We get a behind-the-scenes look at the new project, which was very personal for him. Plus, we have the week's Slices — covering everything from snack bans to Pringles Crocs to WNBA salaries — and at the end of the show don't miss our very timely bracket showdown game, the Road Trip Snack Playoffs (it makes sense, trust us).

Episode 1159: Joel Smallbone

Today we're joined by author Jon Acuff to talk about ways we can take hold of negative thoughts, which studies show is a huge issue in this generation. Plus, if you're in the mood for some hot Christians and hot takes, this show HAS them. You'll hear some outspoken faith talk from the distractingly good-looking star of 'Reacher,' plus we get into the very strange Mark Driscoll men's conference dust-up from last weekend. Plus, Jesse gives an extremely in-depth update on the lady with the sign outside of his office, at the end we have your feedback and a lot more.

Episode 1158: Jon Acuff

Today we're joined by rapper/singer Aaron Cole, who's dropping a major label album next week — and you get the first listen. Plus, while Emily's on vacation the guys predictably go sideways, talking about everything from favorite TV shows to fart walk strategies (sorry) to the benefits of living with your parents forever. At the end of the show, we play a round of Five Second Rule!

Today we're joined by pastor, author and former NFL player Dr. Derwin Gray! We talk about the tidal wave of sports betting that's happening right now, and as Christians what we should watch out for. Plus, we have this week's RELEVANT Buzz, covering a surprise show that topped the Netflix charts, two big new album drops that take very different approaches to getting buzz, and an important documentary that just hit YouTube. At the end of the show, don't miss your annoying concert experience feedback!

Episode 1156: Dr. Derwin Gray

Today we're joined by worship leader Chris McClarney! It's a great conversation covering everything from the importance of theological accuracy when writing worship music to how badly the Church needs joy again. Plus, after Jesse gets some Aldi frustration off his chest, the crew brings Slices — from the stress Gen Z is feeling this week about the tax deadline, to some unexpected celebrity pastor kids, to the new show coming from Tim Robinson and Adam McKay. And at the end of the show we have a fresh round of Table Topics!
