Life is full of disappointments of varying degrees, but it's imperative that we deal with them to prevent becoming steeped in bitterness.

In this episode Kevin and Mike discuss how to recognize disappointment and what to do with it.

In our final episode of 2025 we spend time considering how to be prepared for the ways the Lord may want to interrupt us.

Maybe the interruption will come like the angels appearing to the shepherds, but more than likely these interruptions will come in the smallest of ways. So how can we be prepared to receive these moments and trust that God loves to use small things to bring his kingdom?

We hope this episode helps you enter into the final weeks of Advent and the New Year, we'll see you again in 2026!

When we find ourselves in the "middle" we can often feel frustration that we're "not done yet." Whether it's a house project, a workout, or personal development we all know the feeling.

In these moments it can be helpful to remember how far we've already come, and also remind ourselves of our end goal - the hope of where we're headed.

This is easier said than done, but the story of scripture echoes with this reality from beginning to end.

The advent season is upon us and with it often comes the heightened awareness of the already and the not yet. We remember the gift of Jesus' coming into the world and we longingly await his return. As we journey through this in-between time we depend on the truth of God to carry us through whether we gather together on Sundays or are scattered about and snowed in.

When life is difficult and "these light and momentary afflictions" don't feel so light and momentary, what do we do?

In this episode of The Rest of The Week, Kevin and Mike take a closer look at what it means to practically apply the truth of God's word to our lives in daily faith.

In the age of quick, easy, and now now now, what might it look like to choose the path of wisdom?

In John 8, Jesus says, " “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

So, how do we believe this to be true and then live it out on a daily basis?

It's a life-long journey but Kevin & Mike discuss a few ways we can start today.

If we're honest we all would admit we'd like to be more patient, but that begs the question, "are our lives actually set up in a way for us to choose patience?"

Are we really willing to walk the path of patience?

In this episode Kevin & Mike discuss the difficulty of choosing patience in our busy world, but consider the Good News of a God who so patient.

What does it mean that God is faithful? How then as his image bearers do we participate in being faithful? What do we do when it doesn't feel worth it or fruitful?

In this episode Kevin & Mike talk about how to choose the path of faithfulness (even when it's a struggle) in every day life.

*Correction - When Mike is talking about the story of Elijah (1 Kings 17) he mistakenly says that the Lord sent Elijah to the Shunammite woman. The Lord actually sent Elijah to a widow in Zarephath and it was in fact Elisha who was later went to the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4.

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound, but what exactly is grace and what does it look like to receive it, be transformed by it, and then extend it to those around us?
