This week’s “Leftover Laughs” kick off with a smart toilet that tracks your… well, everything, Scandinavian countries with no word for “please,” and a truckload of escaped monkeys that turned the highway into a bad sci-fi movie. But when the laughs fade, Host Steve Wyatt shifts to something deeper... what happens when it feels like the power’s gone out in your life.

Drawing from Elisha’s story and real conversations about addiction, surrender, and the Holy Spirit, Steve and longtime friend John Samples explore the difference between numbing yourself and truly being filled with power. The message: you don’t need to fake strength. Real power starts when you stop pretending and let God’s Spirit fill the space.

This week’s show kicks off with fall’s loudest tradition— pumpkin spice everything. From $7 lattes to pumpkin-scented cat litter and even “dude wipes,” the team laughs through the chaos of a culture obsessed with flavor fads and crowd trends.

Then host Steve Wyatt flips the focus to a story that defies the crowd’s voice— Brock Purdy, the last pick in the NFL draft turned Super Bowl quarterback. Through his story, Steve unpacks how God’s call always outweighs human opinion. The message builds to a powerful reminder: the crowd looks at your failures, but God looks at your heart.

No matter what the world... or even your own doubts... say about you, what the crowd says isn’t always so.

From alligator joyrides to “Hellmann’s Weddings,” the crew wraps Season One with laughter and lunacy—Florida-style. But as the laughs fade, Pastor Steve Wyatt delivers a powerful challenge drawn from King Solomon’s words: stop hoarding your crumbs and start casting them.

Whether it’s launching a dream, taking a leap of faith, or simply stepping out of comfort, this episode dares you to live fully. Safe may feel secure—but it’s rarely significant. The takeaway: life isn’t about crumb hunting. It’s about trusting God enough to throw your crumbs into the water and watch what He brings back.

The crew wakes up to the weirdest invention yet—a hotel alarm clock that releases the scent of bacon and coffee instead of noise. From there, they dive into real-life “force multipliers,” moments that make good go viral: Starbucks drive-thru kindness chains, GoFundMe miracles, and Erica Kirk’s powerful act of public forgiveness that inspired thousands to do the same.

Host Steve Wyatt connects the dots between everyday kindness and God’s call to live justly, love mercy, and walk humbly. His message: stop outrunning your pain. God’s goodness is already chasing you down.

This week opens with some laughs.. from a wedding guest who secretly ordered pizza during the reception to yet another viral “rapture date” that didn’t quite pan out. The crew unpacks why Christians keep falling for wild predictions and what it really means to live ready for Jesus’ return without losing your mind... or your pizza money.

Then host Steve Wyatt turns the focus inward with a raw, personal story of loss, suffering, and faith. Joined by lifelong friend Bruce Templeton, the two discuss comparison, contentment, and how God’s grace meets us in the middle of pain. The lesson is timeless: stop looking at “the other guy” and start trusting the One who holds your story.

Charlie Kirk called the church a life raft in a sinking culture. In this episode, Steve Wyatt and the team dig into why—even with flaws, failures, and frustrations—the local church is still God’s chosen plan for hope and healing.

From stories of childhood church chaos to real-life questions about hypocrisy and disappointment, the team unpacks why walking away from church isn’t the answer. When tragedy strikes and life feels unsteady, the truth is clear: you can’t love Jesus without also loving His church.

The team reflects on the Charlie Kirk memorial service—five hours that shook the nation. From cabinet members openly sharing their faith, to Trump and Musk reconciling, to Erica Kirk forgiving her husband’s killer with the very words of Jesus, it was a moment unlike any other.

Host Steve Wyatt reminds us why the church still matters. Forgiveness is real, revival is stirring, and the gospel remains the only hope strong enough to heal a broken world.

We’re serving up a listener favorite: when the Ohio Supreme Court ruled “boneless wings” don’t actually need to be boneless, and an “all-you-can-eat buffet” ran out of food. The Hot Takes fly, but the meaning is deeper — words matter.

Host Steve Wyatt reminds us that if human words carry weight, how much more do God’s? Whether life feels full or empty, steady or shaken, His Word is unshakable, and His promises will not fail.

We kick off with college football mascots and the unlikely star of Bowling Green State—Pudge the cat. Then it’s a Florida man in Batman pajamas who stopped a thief, proving sometimes your wardrobe really does change your behavior. From there, the crew tackles “Weird-for-Jesus” Christians and why acting strange isn’t proof of faith.

Host Steve Wyatt challenges us to stop copying other Christians or blaming God when life gets hard. Instead, Scripture calls us to work out our own salvation—no comparing, no complaining, just following the unique path God has for us. The result? You’ll shine like stars in a dark world.

We start with a new dating trend called Shrekking—lowering your standards in hopes of better treatment. Then it’s the Cracker Barrel rebrand that sparked a storm of outrage online. Both raise the same question: why do we chase image, status, and pride when they rarely deliver what we want?

Pastor Steve Wyatt points us to a different way: the downward path. Following Jesus means emptying ourselves, serving others, and humbling our pride—because the way up in God’s kingdom always starts by going down. From Philippians 2 to real-world stories of leadership and humility, this episode is a call to let go of ego and let God lift you up.
