Whether its ministry or business, the expectations can be daunting. We talk to Elyse and Brandon about their life growing u...

On this episode our good friend William Matthews joins us to discuss how fluid is the Bible when it comes to culture. Theres a fear in Christian circles that any attempt to "update" the Bible is a sign of heresy and progressive christianity, but was it always intended to remain the way it is? Did God stop speaking after the Bible was bound? Or is he speaking now in a louder voice that is in step w...

Are you good with money? Are you can you be honest with yourself and admit that it may not be your strongest quality? I had to come to that place in my life where I realized no one is going to teach me about money. My parents didn't have a clue and school was only concerned with scholastic studies. I'm on a never ending journey to figure out how to make money work for me and one of my best friends...

I know so many people in my life that are in a vocation or situation that wasn't their ideal position because they were afraid to chase their dream. Somehow we've gotten sold the same script that our parents got sold about finding security and a "safe" job so that we can join the rat race and hopefully have something to show for it when we retire. But why so afraid of that dream? Why so afraid of...

I don't know about you guys, but I've always been told that having regrets is a bad thing cause everything you've done has made you who you are. But what if there's some parts of you that you dislike because of what you've done in the past? Vices that now trouble you and make life harder for you. Can regret bring you to a healthy understanding of consequences for your actions? Can they light a fir...

We sit down with singer/songwriter/social activist William Matthews and discuss what does it actually mean to be inclusive? Is anyone truly open to sitting down and sharing a table with someone who dislikes you and what you stand for in the name of being inclusive?

In this episode we're dissecting all the things we attributed to Jesus that we're now learning were more so teachings than actual personal experience. Shoot, Manny firmly believes that Eminems "Lose Yourself" could actually be considered a worship song! Learning to unlearn is probably the most healthy thing an individual can do as they mature and recognize that none of us have it all figured out....

In this episode we talk about highs and lows, things that we're grateful for and what lessons we're taking into 2021.
