The Dumb Saints Podcast

Why do so many Christians avoid serving in the church? In this episode, we push back on the excuses, the consumer mindset, and the “I just want to be fed” attitude that keeps people from stepping into their role in the body of Christ. Yes, we talk about the dangers of manipulation and burnout—but we also challenge the idea that sitting on the sidelines is an option. Serving isn’t just a duty, it’s...

Have Christians traded the kingdom for the ballot box?  In this episode, we dive into how misplaced allegiance and voter idolatry have crept into the church. From political parties elevated above the gospel to the myth that democracy is a kingdom principle, we challenge the ways faith has been entangled with politics — and ask what true witness looks like under the reign of Christ the King.

This week, we sit down to watch a mix of clips we picked out for each other—some funny, some serious—and give our unfiltered reactions. From wild revival moments to debates about tongues and church culture, to preachers saying crazy stuff from the pulpit (and even slipping up in hilarious ways), we dig into it all. Some moments spark laughter, others spark real conversation about what’s actually a...

Becoming king wasn’t David’s “happily ever after.” The same man who slayed giants and wrote psalms also faced betrayal, moral failure, family drama, and the heavy weight of leadership. In this episode, we dig into the highs and lows of David’s reign — and what his story reveals about God’s faithfulness even when His people are far from perfect.

In this week's episode, we follow the dramatic early journey of David before he ever wore a crown. A humble shepherd is secretly anointed to be Israel’s next king, yet his path is anything but straightforward. He shocks the nation by slaying Goliath, rises as a celebrated war hero, and then becomes a fugitive, narrowly escaping Saul’s attempts on his life. Through triumph and pursuit, God’s favor...

After a flood of feedback, hot takes, and DMs—we're back for round two. In this follow-up episode, we respond to your thoughts and dig even deeper into the tensions around worship culture. Are preferences dividing the Church? And how do we keep Jesus at the center when everything else gets loud? It’s honest, a little spicy, and totally worth the part two.

This week on  The Dumb Saints Podcast , we dive into what  worship  really means beyond the lights, lyrics, and livestreams. Is Christian music too “me” focused? Why do churches get so particular about how worship should look or sound? Should musicians get paid for leading worship—or is that missing the point entirely? We unpack the heart, the hype, and the hot takes around modern worship culture.

This week, we’re pulling back the curtain on the flashy side of ministry. From designer suits to luxury cars, some preachers have turned the pulpit into a platform for self-promotion. But where’s the line between relevance and showmanship? We talk honestly about the pressure to make church appealing in a modern world—and how that pursuit can sometimes drift into vanity. Let’s get real about what t...

In this honest and unfiltered conversation, we sit down with Stephen Swebb—a pastor, church leader, and former Elevation staffer—for a deep dive into the complicated layers of church culture. We talk about what happens when church becomes more about appearance than authenticity, how over-religious behavior can damage real faith, and why knowing when to walk away might be the most spiritual move yo...

In this episode, we dive into the story of Jonah—not just the whale tale, but the raw journey of disobedience, bitterness, and reluctant obedience. We explore how Jonah's struggle mirrors our own: running from God's call, wrestling with grace, and learning that God's plan often collides with our expectations. Join us as we unpack what Jonah’s story reveals about our hearts—and God’s.

In this episode, we’re joined by Matt Fremont and Elijah Little, who bring their personal experiences, insights, and honest perspectives to the table. Together, we’re digging deeper into the cultural, historical, and spiritual dynamics that shape the Black and white church in America today.

In this episode, we unpack the trap of comparison — how it sneaks into our thoughts, steals our joy, and distorts our identity in Christ. Whether it's social media, success, or spiritual maturity, we explore what Scripture says about measuring ourselves against others and how to shift our focus back to God's unique purpose for our lives. Join us as we discuss practical ways to break free from the...

This week, we're doing something different. You've watched, you've commented—and now we're responding. In this special episode, we take time to read and reflect on the feedback, questions, and even the criticisms left on our previous videos. It’s real talk, honest answers, and a reminder that we're all growing together in Christ.

In this episode, we dive into the dilemma many believers face: we know discipleship matters, but are we actually doing it? We talk about the value of investing in the spiritual growth of others while also remaining teachable and open to being discipled ourselves. True discipleship is a two-way street—and it’s essential for a thriving, Christ-centered life.

In a world full of noise, pressure, and mixed messages, discerning your true calling can feel overwhelming—sometimes even paralyzing. Join us as we untangle the confusion around purpose, vocation, and faith.

In this episode of The Dumb Saints , we dive into the well-meaning but often unhelpful clichés that float around Christian circles—phrases like “God won’t give you more than you can handle” or “Everything happens for a reason.” Where do they come from, and do they hold up to biblical truth? Join us as we unpack the theology (or lack thereof) behind these sayings, laugh at the absurdity, and look f...

In a world that glorifies having the last word, what happens when we choose silence instead? In this episode, we explore the biblical wisdom of holding our tongue, the strength found in quietness, and how listening can be a powerful tool. Sometimes (probably most of the time), the best thing for a saint to do is shut up.

We all mess up—but God can use our failures to grow us, teach us, and even draw us closer to Him. Because sometimes, the biggest lessons come from the hardest moments.

In this episode, we explore the often unspoken differences between big churches and small churches—beyond just the size of the sanctuary. From worship styles and community dynamics to pastoral presence and spiritual depth, we’re diving into what makes each setting unique. It's a conversation that might ruffle some feathers, but it's one worth having.

In this debut episode, we’re diving into some of the most common misconceptions about ministry—what it is, who it's for, and what it  really  looks like behind the scenes. Whether you've felt called, confused, or just curious, this conversation unpacks the truth behind the titles, the trials, and the calling. Let’s break the myths and talk real ministry.

In this episode, we dive into the tension between the boundless gift of grace and the call to transformation that comes with it. How do we live in the tension between mercy and accountability? Join the Dumb Saints as we unpack this paradox.
