A Few Minutes With The Few

Do families sit down and watch good movies together anymore? It sure doesn't seem like it, so what's replacing that time? A subscriber recently sent us a question asking what our views are on TV shows and what Christians should/shouldn't watch, and we thought we'd share our thoughts with y'all! We have a few different takes on this topic, so it makes for an interesting conversation you won't want...

Did you know that it's a dangerous place to be when we're not asking the Lord what He has for us each day? It's true that no one can do a million things well, and that's why it's of upmost importance that we know what work is valuable and what the Lord has for us! What we shouldn't want to miss out on is Kingdom work, but we have to put in the work of not letting the world take advantage of us and...

Are you looking for Christian resources that will ACTUALLY help you get serious about living for Jesus daily? If you said yes, we have exciting news for you! We have some of the very best podcast listeners, and y'all have helped us reach SEVEN THOUSAND DOWNLOADS! To celebrate, we have released a free Christian resource page that you can download and print straight from our Blog TODAY! It's a great...

Wondering what you should think through after going on a first or second date to make sure you're following the Lord's lead and pursuing the right guy or girl? Who you marry is the second most important decision you will ever make (the first being to follow Jesus), so it is crucial that we take a step back to examine that we are where God wants us, and are willing to ask ourselves the hard, but im...

Have you ever thought about the top three questions you should ask on a first date to really get to know someone's heart? We have thought through what we would ask on a first date, and want to share those questions with you as well! Our goal is to date/court  godly men who love Jesus and want to do everything they can for the Kingdom. We pray this episode is an encouragement to you no matter what...

Are you being intentional with your time this summer? We asked y'all what your TOP summer priorities are on Instagram a couple weeks ago, and in this episode, we share the responses you sent in, as well as what our top summer priorities are! Madie also tells a very interesting story about a bee that attacked her while we were having dinner with a friend! I think it's safe to say this is a pretty g...

What do the young people of our generation truly desire and need from their local churches? We have traveled the U.S. visiting and helping churches, speaking to youth groups, and hosting bible studies within our home each week, and what we have heard from the majority of youth we connect with is that they want much more than what the American Church experience is currently offering. Young people t...

Why is America the greatest country on earth? We're glad you asked, because we could talk for hours about the Revolutionary War and all things American history, but for your sake, we packed a lot of awesome stories and content into a 40 minute episode! We want to thank every one of the men and women who have faithfully, and courageously served our country to secure the freedom we enjoy today and e...

Do you feel at times that your everyday life just isn't all that exciting and that maybe, just maybe, you aren't getting anywhere fast spiritually? Good, because we are right there with you! Sometimes guilt can even creep in because you feel like you aren't doing all that God wants you to be doing, which may be the case. However, if you are genuinely seeking after Christ, He will never let you mis...

Is it compassionate to think critically and educate/inform those within your sphere of influence? In the American Church today, most people feel as if they shouldn't think or do any kind of research because they are told not to have an opinion or "push" anything on anyone because it's not compassionate. Just maybe, we've bought into a lie regarding this topic. What if thinking critically and lovin...

What are your current spiritual goals? In this new minisode, we're jumping right in with four spiritual goals you can implement into your life, especially if you feel like you might be in limbo. These are goals that we have implemented, and are still implementing in our lives currently to help us get serious about Jesus! We promise, you will be inspired by this chat!  Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:9...

Is the Bible app a sufficient substitute for reading the Word in physical form every day? Let's tackle this question together on the show today, and examine the pros and cons of using Bible apps! We have a lot to say (as usual, haha) about the "verse of the day" becoming an excuse, and what you should think through before ditching a physical copy of Scripture for a digital version. Let's get into...

Are you starting the day feeling a bit overwhelmed and/or saddened by what is taking place around the world and in America today? In this episode, Lilly & Madie share about two people who have been a huge inspiration to them, and who cultivated beauty in their corners of the world in the middle of WWI and WWII. As Christians, we have hope in the midst of despair, we just have to seek it out. Scrip...

Do we want Jesus on our terms or His? Today we are back with part two of our discussion with our dad, discussing the things Jesus did on each day of the Passion Week (this week, as of when we recorded this), and we're asking some pretty important questions when it comes to Christianity and the state of the American Church. Without this week, we wouldn't be able to have communion with God. We would...

Have you ever taken the time to study the details of Passion Week and all of the things Jesus did before He died and resurrected? Since our dad, Scott, is basically an expert on this amazing topic, we asked him to be on the show and give us the run-down on what Christians should know as we get ready to celebrate Easter! This episode is part one of two, and part two will be uploaded THIS MONDAY (Ap...

Did you know we've been keeping a little secret?! The show hit 6,000 downloads a couple weeks ago, so we put together a blooper episode for you this week to celebrate! There have been lots of embarrassing and crazy moments from our podcasting journey, and well, we're also crazy enough to share them with the world, haha! We appreciate y'all, and we cannot thank you enough for downloading and suppor...

Do you feel the need to do "churchy" things so that you can appear really spiritual to others? It's more than easy to strive for spiritual fruit while ignoring the roots of our lives and what our source truly is. Let's chat about "remaining" in Jesus in a world that constantly tries to pull us away from Him, and how He may be trying to grow us in private. Is it possible to stop the show and be gen...

Even Christians are taking the Lord's name in vain?! I know, we can't believe our ears either, but many Christians now think it's no big deal to react with a loud "OMG" on social media and in everyday conversations. In this episode, we chat about what effect this action is having on the lost, how we are belittling our view of God as Christians, and what the Biblical solution is to this problem. It...

Can Christians cuss and honor God at the same time? This is a popular topic that is often brought up whenever we ask y'all what you'd like to hear us chat about and has been on our list for a while now! In this episode, Lilly shares a crazy gas station story, and Madie shares about why it's important that we fill our hearts with thankfulness so that it overflows out of us through the words we spea...

Do most of your friendships feel "surface level" lacking unity and joy? In this episode, Madie shares how she has felt when her friends don't put in the effort to be attentive and listen well, and how she has had to allow the Lord to work on her heart in that area, and Lilly shares the importance of having a friend that will push you to be what God has created you to be. A Biblical friend that is...

Are there toxic people roaming about our world today? Why yes, of course. Are those who are willing to say the hard but truthful things and "call out" sin, toxic? Well, according to our world today, apparently so. In this episode, we attempt to explain how to discern if someone is genuinely "toxic" or if they are speaking truth (truth which you may not necessarily desire to hear). We also discuss...

Is TikTok ruining people's attention spans and the concept of social media accountability? TikTok is one of the most used and trending apps of our generation, and in today's episode, we discuss whether or not we believe Christians should allow this app to be a part of their daily lives. We also share our own personal experiences about how TikTok has specifically impacted our own friendships and na...

Can you believe it?! This is the ONE-HUNDREDTH episode of A Few Minutes With The Few! Let's celebrate together by taking some time to reminisce and dream about what the future might look like! We LOVE each and every one of you, and can't thank you enough for being here and for listening! Without further ado, let's get into it! LINKS... What would you like us to discuss? Be featured on our next epi...

Have you been hearing all the buzz about the book/movie "Redeeming Love"? After being asked what our true thoughts are, we sat down with our mom (Michelle) to record an episode revealing our hot take on the entertainment industry and the things they continue to get away with. Though many believe this book/movie is "Christian", the explicit content they each contain should caution us otherwise. How...

Do you have friends of the opposite gender? Today's discussion is quite an interesting one as we challenge the thought that it is perfectly ok to have a "friend" of the opposite gender, and whether or not Christians should engage in this action. In our experience, at least one person in the friendship will develop feelings for the other, if not both. But what if that's not the person you should ma...
