  • Love, Laughter, and Faith: A 20-Year Marriage Anniversary Special with Tiffany Howard

    Can you believe it's been 20 years since Tiffany and I said "I do"? 

    Join us as we take a trip down memory lane, reliving all the joys, challenges, and hilarious moments that have come with two decades of marriage. We'll share some of our wildest stories, like the time we faced a giant snake on our front porch - trust us, you won't want to miss this!

    But it's not all just fun stories - in this heartwarming episode, we also explore the power of prayer and the role faith has played in our love story. From a chance meeting at a Christian concert, to the incredible ways Tiffany's mother's prayers were answered, we'll remind you that sometimes true love comes when you least expect it. 

    Whether you're a marriage veteran or just starting out, you'll find laughter, inspiration, and maybe even some advice in our celebration of 20 amazing years together.

    Plus, tune in next week as Tiffany and I dive deeper into hope in marriage and life.

  • Hot Take: We Have an Opinion Problem

    On today's show, I've got some hot takes for you on the great opinion problem in our culture.

    We see it in sports.

    → "Who's the greatest of all time? MJ or LeBron?!"
    → "Why do athletes get paid so much?"
    → "These guys are terrible role models!"

    We see it with church folks.

    → "That church is too big to be the real-deal. They're just a show."
    → "Smoke, lights, and loud music don't belong in church service!"
    → "Pastors today just have big egos."

    ...and it's ripping us apart.

    So here are my *hot takes* on the problem with chucking opinions at each other like grenades. And what we should do instead.

  • Exchanging Lies for Truth | The Real Stuff: Mental Health for Believers

    The enemy wants you to fall for lies! 

    He wants to cause chaos in your life. Everything he says is a lie. Everything he does is a lie. 

    Unfortunately, we all get caught up in the lies he tells. And in this episode, I talk about a personal story of how I blamed myself for so many years based on a lie the enemy kept telling me.

    But there is hope. We can exchange those lies for truth through God.

    God knows exactly what you're facing. He knows exactly what you're going through today. He remembers you. He loves you. You're not some blip on his radar. He didn't die for some faceless mass of humanity. 

    He knows you exactly where you're at. Right now. 

    He wants you to start replacing those lies that the devil would put in your heart with truth. 

    You're not alone. You're not forgotten. You're not a mistake.

  • Overcoming Unbelief and Praying with Expectancy | The Real Stuff: Mental Health for Believers

    As we continue through this Mental Health for Believers series, today I am talking about something that epitomizes what we go through as Christians in tough times: faith in doubt.

    Even as believers, there are going to be hard days.

    In Mark 9:23-24, a man with an ailing son is experiencing one of those tough days, and when he asks if Jesus can do anything, Jesus replies…

    “Everything is possible for one who believes.”

    It’s this message that we have to keep in mind when we are in those rough seasons. We must remember to pray with the expectancy that everything is possible for believers!
