Don't Get Hornfrogged 14.06.2022 57:29

You know what, we're going to make you listen to find out what this episode is about, because we both know that the title isn't helpful at all.

Don't Judge Me! 07.06.2022 55:49

What does the Bible actually say about judgement? Are we right to point out sins that others are struggling with or are we sinners for even thinking about it? I mean, we are sinners, that kinda goes without saying I guess. Anyway, check out the latest podcast.

Communication feat. Sean Baker 31.05.2022 49:00

We welcome back a guest from Season 1 to talk about communication. This may or may not be a little chaotic (ironic, right?) and at times we descend into rants - but listen to the end, because the take-aways are worth it!

Apologetics 24.05.2022 48:34

This one admittedly has more tangents than usual, but we didn't have a guest to keep us focused - also you're not our supervisor. We mostly talked about apologetics - the defense of the faith.

Youth Ministry feat. Peter LeBorious 17.05.2022 56:07

This week Josh and Ben brought on a special guest, Pete LeBorious, to talk about youth ministry. If you're paying close attention, you'll notice that Pete and Josh share a last name. That is because Pete is Josh's dad who has done youth ministry for longer than Josh or Ben has been alive.

Crack an Ag feat. Ryan Maser 10.05.2022 50:38

This week we're talking to Ryan Maser about agriculture, farming, and being connected to creation. We also debut our new theme music, courtesy of Joël Held.

Forgive and Forget feat. Ted Kober and Mark Rockenbach 03.05.2022 56:58

In this episode, Ben and Josh sit down with Ted Kober from Ambassadors of Reconciliation and Dr. Mark Rockenbach from Concordia Seminary to talk about Christian forgiveness and the idea of "forgive and forget."

Sports feat. Sean Baker 26.10.2021 37:31

How should Christians interact with sporting events?

Christian Relationships 19.10.2021 40:47

We all need friends and you might be the friend that someone else needs.

Thanksgiving 19.10.2021 45:52

It's Not All About You 12.10.2021 39:13

Most people wouldn't say the world revolves around them, but is that still how we operate on a daily basis?

Don't Be A Jerk 05.10.2021 38:38

We really shouldn't have to talk about this. Just don't be a jerk.
