When Average Boy visits his friend Richie’s very large house, he makes a surprising observation—the Olympics could be hosted here. But before he contacts the Olympic people, Bob has a high-speed scooter chase and learns an unexpected lesson from Richie’s wise (and strong) grandmother: It’s good to slow down and just be. Jesse and Bob talk about busyness, silence, and why rest matters by drawing inspiration from Scripture and Jesus’ example of getting away to pray. Along the way, expect exaggerations, Jesse jokes, inflatable dolphins, and an important challenge for listeners to help them grow closer to God.

The duo also suggests some helpful Bible verses to a listener who’s fighting with a friend.
