What happens when you unplug from TV, movies, and media for 40 days, and intentionally turn your attention toward Jesus?

In this special episode, Tony sits down with Robert for an honest conversation about his Lent experience. What started as a simple media fast became a deeply personal journey of self-awareness, spiritual growth, and a surprising look at the noise we live with every day.

Whether you observed Lent or not, this one will challenge you to consider how you spend your time… and what really has your attention.

Pull up a chair and join us on the porch.

This week, we slide off the sermon notes and into the batter’s box. It’s a shorter, special episode where we’re talking just baseball.

From childhood memories to current obsessions, we cover our favorite teams, moments, and what baseball means to us. And yes—Robert pitches a truly wild idea for a rule change that just might change the game forever (or at least start an argument or two).

No theology. No hot takes on church strategy. Just two guys on the porch, talking America’s pastime.

Grab your glove and your peanuts and let’s talk ball.

In Part 2 of our conversation on Lent, we dive deeper into the heart behind the season. Is giving something up really what Jesus asks of us? Or is there a better way to draw closer to Him? With honesty, humor, and a porch-side perspective, we explore the history of Lent, its value (and potential pitfalls), and whether it’s time to rethink how we prepare our hearts for Easter.

Whether you’ve observed Lent for years or never given it a second thought, this episode invites you to consider what it truly means to live a life of abundance in Christ.

Pull up a chair and join the conversation.

On this episode of The Pulpit & Porch, Tony and Robert dive into the history and heart behind Lent. Where did it come from? Is it biblical? Why do some churches observe it while others don’t? With perspectives from the Restoration and Baptist traditions, we ask the big questions about spiritual practices, tradition, and how we draw closer to Jesus in meaningful ways.

Whether you grew up with ashes and fasting or have never once observed Lent, this episode is for you.

Tune in, pour a glass of sweet tea, and join the conversation.
