Today we're joined by author Mark Batterson, who talks to us about recapturing our wonder and awe of God and the power that comes from looking for small miracles. Plus, the crew relives some Thanksgiving highlights, we have the week's Slices — from Pizza Hut trying too much, to Denzel's unforgettable Gladiator press junkets — as well as "Would You Rather? Christmas Edition!" And no matter what, don't miss the hilarious outtake at the end ...

Worship icon Matt Redman joins us for our Thanksgiving episode! We talk to him about his new Christmas EP and why don't we sing about this year-round? Plus, we have RELEVANT Buzz covering everything from the viral Jameis Winston clip to the deeper trend of why celebs are more boldly speaking out about their faith these days, to why some major universities are making college free, to TikTok announcing some kinda crazy analog plans. Plus, at the end of the show we have Turkey Table Topics — conversation starters to help you just in case your family holiday convos get a tad awkward this weekend.

Our guest today is Riley Clemmons! You probably know her from hits like “Fighting for Me” and “For the Good," and now she's just released a new Christmas project. Plus, we talk a lot about the Congressional alien hearings happening right now (even if it's not your thing, trust us it's a very thought-provoking conversation). Then we have the week's RELEVANT Buzz covering everything from big news from the Elton John 'Tammy Faye' Broadway musical, Coachella's questionable line-up announcement, Jesse's thoughts about pickleball, and a first look at nobigdyl's new acoustic hip-hop album. At the end of the show, we have your feedback about dream travel ideas!

Today we're joined by Jim O'Heir, or as you know him — Jerry from 'Parks and Rec'! He has a new book out chronicling the behind-the-scenes of the show, and he gives us some good dirt on today's podcast. Plus, we have Slices, covering everything from the craziest attempt at a new Cabinet post, to an explainer of this whole B4 movement, to Warner Bros. auctioning the most epic vehicles ever. And at the end of the show, we have your most pressing Thanksgiving questions!

Today we're joined by pastor and author Mike Todd to talk about a pretty important topic — overcoming trauma and finding freedom. Plus, Derek and Cameron tell us about their trip to the Colorado mountains, and we have the week's RELEVANT Buzz covering everything from The Onion doing the greatest troll of all time to doom spending to Jim Gaffigan's new special. At the end of the show we have your feedback about weird features you want to see in cars!

Episode 1211: Eugene Cho

Today we're joined by former Hillsong United members Ben Fielding and Reuben Morgan! They've just launched a new worship collective called CXMMXNS and we talk to them about their vision and why they’re excited about the future of worship. Plus, we have the week's RELEVANT Buzz covering everything from the Christian rapper who will be on the new season of Hustle & Flow, to why Taylor Tomlinson got kicked off a Christian comedy tour, to a new study that says Gen Z loves staying home (and why that might be good for their health). And at the end of the show, we have your feedback about the weirdest things you've bought on the TikTok Shop!

Our guest today is Chad Veach! He's the pastor of LA's Zoe Church and the author of books like "Worried About Everything Because I Pray About Nothing” and his latest, “I Bet You Think This Book Is About You.” We talk about pride and humility, and why it’s something Christians today can’t ignore.  Also, the cast tackles the prosperity gospel, golf, Jesse's curious love of pranks, and the impact of celebrity culture on accountability. We also have the week's Slices — covering the major governmental intervention into broken McDonald's ice cream machines and a viral Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest that captivated New York City. At the end of the show, we have 'Would You Rather: Holiday Edition'!

Today we're joined by alt-R&B artist Gallant, who just released a fantastic new album. He opens up to us about stepping out from his label to become an independent artist, the freedom he finds through his work, and how faith and spirituality have been a source of inspiration for him. Plus, the cast delves into the evolving landscape of fame in the digital age, the significant number of Christians opting out of voting this year, the plateauing of the 'Nones'—which turns into a can't-miss conversation—and Marty drops a new album today! And at the end of the show, we have your feedback about your weirdest hobbies.

Today we're joined by worship artist Benjamin William Hastings! You probably know him from his years with Hillsong United, but now he's releasing some amazing solo music. We talk to him about his new project — and what he means when he says he's a "recovering Deconstructionist." Plus, it's an all-boys episode (we're sorry) and things go predictably off the rails. We have the week's Slices, and at the end of the show we have another edition of Ask the Cast!
