✂️ Snip Happens 🍇 Nobody likes being pruned. When life gets uncomfortable, doors close, relationships change, or God starts cutting away things we thought we needed, it's easy to wonder, "God...what are You doing?" In this episode of Duct Tape and Jesus, we're diving into one of Jesus' most powerful teachings from John 15. He calls Himself the True Vine, us the branches, and his Father the Garden...

💪 Flex Your Jesus Muscle **Trigger Warning listed at end of description** Just like your body doesn't get stronger without consistent training, neither does your faith.

As Jesus concludes the Olivet Discourse, He tells a sobering story about a future judgment where the King separates the sheep from the goats. While our culture celebrates being the "GOAT" (Greatest Of All Time), Jesus reveals that not every goat ends up where they expect.   In Matthew 25:31-46, we examine one of Jesus' most challenging teachings: the judgment of the nations and His famous statemen...

🕯️ Do you have enough oil? In this episode of Duct Tape and Jesus, we jump into Matthew 25:1–13, the Parable of the Ten Virgins, and talk about what it really means to be ready for Christ’s return. Jesus tells the story of ten women waiting for the bridegroom. Five came prepared with extra oil for their lamps, and five… well… let’s just say they didn’t plan ahead very well. 😬 When the bridegroom...

Episode 5 is here! In this episode, we talk about the powerful invitation found in First Epistle of Peter 5:7: “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” Life has a way of piling worries, stress, and burdens on our shoulders.

Think you know the Bible? Let’s put that to the test—but with a twist. In this episode, we’re playing multiple-choice Bible trivia, but we’re not stopping at the right answer. Each question opens the door to a mini Bible study, adding context, depth, and real-life application that goes far beyond trivia night faith. This isn’t about points or proving what you know. It’s about slowing down, digging...

We recorded this episode during actual storms… which felt very on brand.    In this episode of Duct Tape & Jesus, we’re talking about what happens when life gets loud, the waves get high, and Jesus is somehow sleeping in the boat. (Or is he?). We’re reminded that just because Jesus is calm doesn’t mean He’s absent—and just because the storm is real doesn’t mean it gets the final say.   If you’...

Episode Two is Here!!! We're sitting in 1 Corinthians 13...the LOVE chapter we all think we know...and realizing how much deeper it actually goes.  We talk about: What kind of love Paul is really talking about. What it means to "see in a mirror dimly What matruity in faith looks like No perfection. No pretending. Just honest conversation, scripture, and the reminder that love is the point.  Rememb...

✨ IT’S FINALLY HERE ✨ Our very first episode of Duct Tape & Jesus is live! 🎙️ This podcast was born out of real life—the messy, imperfect, barely-holding-it-together kind. In Episode 1, “Held Together,” we’re sharing who we are, why this podcast exists, and the hope we’ve found in a Jesus who doesn’t need duct tape to fix what’s broken. If your faith feels fragile… If life feels overwhelming...
