The WOFOYO Podcast

Fresh strawberries shouldn’t be a spiritual wake-up call, but here we are. After a simple detour to a local produce stand, I realized something: once you taste the real thing, the “flavored” version stops satisfying. That’s true for food, and it’s also true for faith. We start with a quick story about choosing a mom-and-pop stand over the big chains and why those strawberries were on another level...

An idol didn’t just show up in the temple, someone carried it in and set it down where God said His name would dwell. That is the gut-punch moment that launches our conversation as we walk through 2 Chronicles 33 and the reign of King Manasseh, a ruler who does real evil, later repents, yet still leaves a wake of consequences. We also look at how Hezekiah’s strength and later pride create a backdr...

The number 40 keeps popping up in the Bible for a reason and it’s not just about wandering in the wilderness. We unpack why “forty” so often signals a real season of testing, and how that testing can feel like hardship, promotion, peace, or even unstoppable success. If you’ve ever wondered why a good season can still feel spiritually dangerous, this conversation puts language to it.  We walk throu...

“Find a good Bible-believing church” sounds like solid advice… until you ask how a brand-new Christian is supposed to know what that even means. We wrestle with the unintended fallout of our evangelism habits, especially the way we celebrate a salvation moment and then hand someone a vague next step that can drop them straight into confusion, bad doctrine, or spiritual control. We talk about what...

We don’t hand out endorsements, and we definitely don’t do paid plugs. That’s why this short recommendation matters: we found a Christian devotional that doesn’t read like fluff and doesn’t treat spiritual growth like a vibe. “40 Days to Renewal: A Journey into God’s Purpose for Your Life” by Dan Blacksher surprised us because it’s packed with substance, the kind of content that actually challenge...

A single headline can light you up, pull you into an argument, and leave you more cynical than you were five minutes earlier. We talk about that bait, why it works, and how it shows up in Christian spaces, especially when people toss around fear-driven claims like “speaking in tongues can be demonic.” Our take is not built on panic or platform opinions. We bring it back to the character of God and...

If you’ve ever felt like your faith keeps hitting the same ceiling, the problem might not be your effort. It might be your system. We get honest about a pattern we see across the Western Church: we lean on Sunday sermons as if they were designed to do the entire job of discipleship, then we wonder why spiritual growth slows down and pastors burn out. We’re clear about what we’re not saying. We lov...

“Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven” gets quoted like a victory chant, but Matthew 18 doesn’t read like a hype verse when you slow down and keep it in context. We open the chapter where the disciples chase status and authority, then watch Jesus put a child in the middle of the room and redefine greatness as humility, repentance, and a changed mind. That alone flips the whole “powe...

A gravel road can feel like nothing special until the Lord uses it to bring everything back to your mind at once. We’re sharing a tribute to Gerald Malone, a man whose faith left a mark on our spiritual walk and our relationship with Christ. When his funeral comes together on short notice, the trip there feels surreal, especially with the same backroads showing up in recordings we had just been ed...

The heat outside is oppressive, but the bigger question is what we do when life itself feels just as heavy. We start with a simple observation about seasons changing and how light, not temperature, can drive the shift and then we move straight into the heart of the conversation: the goodness of God does not rise and fall with your circumstances. When you read Psalms and hear worship coming out of...

A wobbling cart, a split-second reaction, and a lesson that still confronts our need for control. We go to 1 Chronicles 15 and walk back through the story of Uzzah and the Ark of the Covenant, then listen closely to David’s diagnosis: “we did not seek him according to the rule.” That one line shifts the focus from panic and improvisation to holiness, obedience, and doing God’s work God’s way. From...

Burnout can make you productive and numb at the same time, and that’s a scary mix. We pick up our Glacier National Park recap and talk through what it feels like to push through hard days on the trail, hit the goals, and still realize you’re not enjoying any of it. The fix isn’t another hack. It’s learning when to slow down, rest, and do the kind of “maintenance” that keeps your life and faith fro...

Counting sounds harmless until it becomes a substitute for trust. We open up 1 Chronicles 21 and walk through David’s census, Joab’s pushback, and the striking difference between this account and 2 Samuel 24. One text names Satan as the instigator, the other names the anger of the Lord, and that tension forces us to wrestle with motives, responsibility, and what happens when leadership reaches for...

You can be the dependable one, the helpful one, the “blessing” everybody praises and still feel strangely alone. We sit with that tension and make a case for something most of our culture avoids: solitude. Not isolation. Not ghosting people. Real, chosen quiet that pulls you out of the noise long enough to get honest with God and hear Him again. We talk about what it looks like when the spirit fee...

August can feel like a slow grind, even when life is good. I’m C Dub, and while you’re hearing this, I’m out hiking in Glacier National Park, soaking in some of the most beautiful scenery in Montana and doing something my soul needs just as much as my body: getting quiet. Not the kind of quiet where you avoid people, but the kind where you finally have space to hear God again, recover your focus,...

Thunder rolls in the background while we tackle something even louder: the way Christian trends can hijack discernment. Bones and I talk about the surge of celebrity Christianity and what happens when a high profile new believer gets saved, grabs a platform, and starts teaching right away. We celebrate every genuine conversion, but we also ask the hard question: are we building disciples, or are w...

The pages you’re most tempted to skim might be the ones doing the most work. We talk about the “quagmire” many Bible readers hit in 1 Chronicles 1–9, where the genealogies can feel like endless names with no payoff. But once we slow down and look at what’s happening, those lists stop being random and start reading like a record of identity, responsibility, and God’s faithfulness across generations...

The prodigal son gets all the spotlight, but the older brother is where the story starts reading us back. We open Luke 15 and sit with both sons: the one who runs off and wrecks his life, and the one who stays home doing “everything right” yet can’t celebrate when mercy shows up. If you’ve ever felt angry at grace, suspicious of someone’s comeback, or quietly convinced God owes you for your discip...

An old, well-worn Bible can feel like a time machine and a mirror at the same time. C Dub shares a personal inheritance: his grandfather’s King James “Family Altar Edition,” requested and received as his father was passing. It’s not just a sentimental object. It becomes a concrete way to talk about the difference between a possession and an inheritance, and why what we hand down spiritually matter...

Confidence can sound holy while it quietly turns into pride, and that’s when the fall comes fast.  We dig into 2 Kings 14 and track King Amaziah’s arc: real obedience, real success, and then a turning point where victory lifts his heart and he picks a fight he never needed. The warning he gets is almost laughably clear, yet he ignores it, gets defeated, and pays a price that hits the whole nation....

Discomfort gets a bad reputation, but what if it’s actually God’s classroom? We dig into a line that stops you in your tracks: the place of discomfort is the place of learning. When we stay comfortable, we often stay the same and comfort can quietly turn into complacency. So we ask the question most of us dodge: are we pursuing spiritual growth, or just protecting our comfort zone?  We also get ho...

A stolen vineyard. A rigged accusation. A prophet’s sentence that hangs in the air for years. Naboth’s Vineyard is one of the Bible’s clearest pictures of injustice, and we follow the thread from Ahab and Jezebel to Elijah’s prophecy and Jehu’s violent surge of judgment. What hits us hardest is how often God’s timing feels slow and how often divine justice looks like pure chaos from the ground lev...

“I don’t know, I’m learning” can sound humble, but sometimes it’s just an excuse that keeps us from owning what we signed up for. C Dub opens with a story from a workplace promotion and a Navy vet coworker who gives a blunt correction: responsibility includes the job of learning fast, showing up prepared, and stopping the easy outs. That same confrontation belongs in our spiritual life too. We can...

Ahab wanted a vineyard and promised a fair deal, but Naboth refused because it was his inheritance. That single refusal exposes a whole theology of leadership: some people see legacy as holy, others see it as a commodity. We walk through 1 Kings 21 and the chilling chain reaction that follows, from Jezebel’s false witnesses to Elijah’s blunt question, “have you killed and also taken possession?” I...

What if the biggest problem with your faith isn’t doubt, but delay? We wrestle with a line that refuses to let us stay comfortable: “What good is being anointed if you’re not going to use it?” Borrowed with full credit to Pastor David Hertel of Hope Fellowship Church in Brandon, Mississippi, that question becomes a mirror for anyone who loves good theology but struggles to take the next step.  We...
