TNT Episode #44: Spiritual Journey with Rylan

Tate and Teresa are joined by special guest Rylan Rickett, Tate’s childhood friend who moved back to Nome about a year and a half ago. The episode starts off with Rylan sharing how he felt called to return home, and how God played a role in that journey. Tate and Teresa reflect on their own paths and the spiritual nudges that brought them to where they are today.

From there, the conversation dives into what it really means to have a relationship with God. Not just within the walls of a church, but in everyday life and activities. While each of the three brings their own perspective to the table, they’re united in one thing: to encourage listeners to engage with their spiritual side.

The two dive into the role of emotions, both the highs and the lows, and how they’re part of what we’re made to experience. Teresa leads the conversation while talking about the soul’s growth through struggle, and how hardship can be a necessary teacher. They wrap up with a powerful reminder: even the greatest among us stood on the shoulders of many.

TNT Episode #41: Just the Two of Us

Tate and Teresa go guest-free this week and dive deep into the spiritual side of life and back to the roots of the TNT podcast with two humans having a very human conversation. This episode explores the personal journey of faith, connection to the Creator, and the quiet ways we can encounter God in nature, in emotion, and in each other.

Tate shares some lesser-known Bible passages, and both hosts reflect on how spirituality is less about having the answers and more about staying present on the path. It’s introspective, focuses on the journey, and full of thoughtful moments.

Wali Rana, news reporter extraordinaire, is back! The trio dives into the deep end with a conversation about the meaning of life, the value of adversity, and how challenges can shape who we are. Things take an existential turn as they confront the looming realities of climate change, and Wali shares what life is like in Pakistan.

But it’s not all doom and gloom. The crew shifts gears to a lighter (but louder) topic: heavy metal. Teresa and Wali talk about their shared love for Metallica, while Tate proudly plants his metal flag with Iron Maiden. Of course, you can’t talk metal without Megadeth getting a nod, and YouTuber Leo Moracchioli gets an honorable mention.
