The RELEVANT Podcast

Today we're joined by churchome pastors Judah and Chelsea Smith! We discuss how they've radically changed how they do church over the last few years — and how those changes have a lot to do with finding a new work/life balance (something we can all learn from). Plus, the cast brings the week's always-hilarious Slices, and because it's fall, at the end of the game we test their knowledge on all things pumpkin spice.

Today we’re joined by iconic indie rock band Cold War Kids, who just released a new album! Plus, we’ve got the week's RELEVANT Buzz — including hamster races, roller dancing, AI taking over our jobs and more — and your feedback on Jesse’s Common Sense Party platform!

Today we're joined by 'Big Brother' host and anchor Julie Chen Moonves! She has a new memoir out detailing her faith conversion — it's a fascinating conversation. Plus, the cast brings Slices and at the end of the show we have a fall edition of Epic Battle!

Today we're joined by LA-based worship collective Mosaic MSC. They're making some really interesting new music -- don't miss that convo. Plus, the whole cast is back together now that Derek's home from Dubai, we have the week's RELEVANT Buzz (which includes a surprising conversation about tithing), and Jesse comes up with a plan for a brilliant new political platform.

Today we're joined by pastor and author Chad Veach, who brings a paradigm-shifting message about prayer. Plus, the crew brings some hilarious slices, Jesse gets his sports dream of being a mascot thwarted at the last minute (because of the show), and at the end we have a game about seasonal church signs — asking did a church write the pun, or AI? 

Our guest today is singer-songwriter Ellie Holcomb! She’s gearing up for a tour with her husband Drew Holcomb (and the Neighbors) — who were featured in our latest magazine issue. Go read it. We talk about her keys for healthy relationships, her new project and a lot more. Plus, we have the week's RELEVANT Buzz, and the cast — which features a return of Social Club Misfits' Marty — tackles your feedback at the end. 

Our guest is worship artist Brandon Lake, who just dropped his third solo album, 'Coat of Many Colors.' We talk about his new music, why he feels like he’s living in a dream and how he keeps those dreams alive. Plus, the cast brings this week's slices — which may or may not include an extended conversation about pizza (fitting) — and at the end we have a very special 'What's Jesse Thinking?' 

Today we're joined by worship artist Brooke Ligertwood, who releases her second solo album, Eight, today. Plus we cover everything from Drake to Lana Del Rey, to big news from Nate Bargatze and The Chosen. And don't miss your "church quirks" feedback at the end!

Today we're joined by author and speaker Jennie Allen to talk about the new spiritual movement happening in Gen Z. We also speak to an expert about the crisis in Sudan, and how to help. Plus, the cast -- Jesse, Cameron, Emily, Derek and Marty -- bring slices and at the end of the show we test everyone's vocab skills (it doesn't go well).

Today we're joined by NEEDTOBREATHE. We talk to them about their new album, Caves, the artists that inspired them growing up and more. Plus, we have the week's RELEVANT Buzz — which ranges from good news about Nate Bargatze to bad news about Liberty University — and your feedback at the end. Also, Cameron's bailed out by a very special voiceover person.
