The WOFOYO Podcast

Elections can leave you either gloating or gutted, but both reactions expose the same question: what did we put our hope in? We sit down for a no-frills, shoot-the-breeze conversation that turns surprisingly direct about disappointment, expectations, and why God’s Kingdom does not rise or fall with a news cycle. We unpack the real-world reasons people get fed up, from broken campaign promises to f...

The most controversial topic in the American church might not be what you think. Forget worship styles and social media debates for a minute. Let’s talk about the one thing everyone secretly judges while holding a paper plate and a plastic fork: the church potluck. We run a full, unapologetic ranking of who brings the best food and who should stop bragging. We start with a few hard disclaimers abo...

Jesus walks into a synagogue, teaches like nobody else, and the atmosphere changes on the spot. That’s where we start, flipping back through old Bibles and landing in Mark 1, where the difference between religious talk and spiritual authority becomes impossible to ignore. When the Kingdom of God is preached and demonstrated, people don’t just nod along. They react. They argue. They get exposed. We...

The Kingdom of God is not hiding in the headlines, and it is not waiting for the perfect sign. Jesus says it is “within you,” and that one line flips the whole way we think about spiritual growth, Christian discipleship, and what it means to see God move in the world. We talk honestly about critics and the kind of debate culture that trains us to argue before we learn to obey. Using Plato’s Allego...

“Who told you you could do that?” is the question that shows up the moment you start building something that matters. We open Ezra and trace how Zerubbabel and the returning exiles rebuild the house of God under real pressure: outsiders offering to “help,” mixed motives, intimidation, bribed influence, and the kind of bureaucratic shutdown that feels way too familiar. Along the way, we pull out bi...

The rebuilding stories in Ezra and Nehemiah are not soft, sentimental narratives. They are gritty accounts of what happens after collapse: the temple destroyed, a people scattered, and a long season of waiting before anyone lays a foundation again. We talk about why this part of the Bible matters right now, especially for anyone walking through personal loss, spiritual fatigue, or the sense that e...

Something feels like it’s shifting and we don’t want to sleepwalk through it. Bones shares a conversation he overhears about the church not being ready for what’s coming, and we take that idea seriously enough to ask the uncomfortable follow-up: if the corporate church is unprepared, what does that say about individual believers and our day-to-day discipleship? We talk about why “quick answers” ca...

The night sky can preach if you let it. After a couple camping trips, we tell a simple story about sitting on a lake island and watching the moon rise through fixed points in the trees, then lying in a tent with the rain cover off and staring up at bright stars. That quiet moment of wonder turns into a bigger question: what are you using to measure what’s really happening in your life with God?  W...

Baptism gets framed as a cute milestone, but we’re convinced it’s something heavier and holier: a line in the sand that starts a new phase of life. That’s why we go straight at the question that makes people squirm, including parents with the best intentions: how young is too young for baptism? We talk about maturity, hardship, and why an age based rule can’t carry what discipleship is actually as...

Fresh strawberries shouldn’t be a spiritual wake-up call, but here we are. After a simple detour to a local produce stand, I realized something: once you taste the real thing, the “flavored” version stops satisfying. That’s true for food, and it’s also true for faith. We start with a quick story about choosing a mom-and-pop stand over the big chains and why those strawberries were on another level...

An idol didn’t just show up in the temple, someone carried it in and set it down where God said His name would dwell. That is the gut-punch moment that launches our conversation as we walk through 2 Chronicles 33 and the reign of King Manasseh, a ruler who does real evil, later repents, yet still leaves a wake of consequences. We also look at how Hezekiah’s strength and later pride create a backdr...

The number 40 keeps popping up in the Bible for a reason and it’s not just about wandering in the wilderness. We unpack why “forty” so often signals a real season of testing, and how that testing can feel like hardship, promotion, peace, or even unstoppable success. If you’ve ever wondered why a good season can still feel spiritually dangerous, this conversation puts language to it.  We walk throu...

“Find a good Bible-believing church” sounds like solid advice… until you ask how a brand-new Christian is supposed to know what that even means. We wrestle with the unintended fallout of our evangelism habits, especially the way we celebrate a salvation moment and then hand someone a vague next step that can drop them straight into confusion, bad doctrine, or spiritual control. We talk about what...

We don’t hand out endorsements, and we definitely don’t do paid plugs. That’s why this short recommendation matters: we found a Christian devotional that doesn’t read like fluff and doesn’t treat spiritual growth like a vibe. “40 Days to Renewal: A Journey into God’s Purpose for Your Life” by Dan Blacksher surprised us because it’s packed with substance, the kind of content that actually challenge...

A single headline can light you up, pull you into an argument, and leave you more cynical than you were five minutes earlier. We talk about that bait, why it works, and how it shows up in Christian spaces, especially when people toss around fear-driven claims like “speaking in tongues can be demonic.” Our take is not built on panic or platform opinions. We bring it back to the character of God and...

If you’ve ever felt like your faith keeps hitting the same ceiling, the problem might not be your effort. It might be your system. We get honest about a pattern we see across the Western Church: we lean on Sunday sermons as if they were designed to do the entire job of discipleship, then we wonder why spiritual growth slows down and pastors burn out. We’re clear about what we’re not saying. We lov...

“Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven” gets quoted like a victory chant, but Matthew 18 doesn’t read like a hype verse when you slow down and keep it in context. We open the chapter where the disciples chase status and authority, then watch Jesus put a child in the middle of the room and redefine greatness as humility, repentance, and a changed mind. That alone flips the whole “powe...

A gravel road can feel like nothing special until the Lord uses it to bring everything back to your mind at once. We’re sharing a tribute to Gerald Malone, a man whose faith left a mark on our spiritual walk and our relationship with Christ. When his funeral comes together on short notice, the trip there feels surreal, especially with the same backroads showing up in recordings we had just been ed...

The heat outside is oppressive, but the bigger question is what we do when life itself feels just as heavy. We start with a simple observation about seasons changing and how light, not temperature, can drive the shift and then we move straight into the heart of the conversation: the goodness of God does not rise and fall with your circumstances. When you read Psalms and hear worship coming out of...

A wobbling cart, a split-second reaction, and a lesson that still confronts our need for control. We go to 1 Chronicles 15 and walk back through the story of Uzzah and the Ark of the Covenant, then listen closely to David’s diagnosis: “we did not seek him according to the rule.” That one line shifts the focus from panic and improvisation to holiness, obedience, and doing God’s work God’s way. From...

Burnout can make you productive and numb at the same time, and that’s a scary mix. We pick up our Glacier National Park recap and talk through what it feels like to push through hard days on the trail, hit the goals, and still realize you’re not enjoying any of it. The fix isn’t another hack. It’s learning when to slow down, rest, and do the kind of “maintenance” that keeps your life and faith fro...

Counting sounds harmless until it becomes a substitute for trust. We open up 1 Chronicles 21 and walk through David’s census, Joab’s pushback, and the striking difference between this account and 2 Samuel 24. One text names Satan as the instigator, the other names the anger of the Lord, and that tension forces us to wrestle with motives, responsibility, and what happens when leadership reaches for...

You can be the dependable one, the helpful one, the “blessing” everybody praises and still feel strangely alone. We sit with that tension and make a case for something most of our culture avoids: solitude. Not isolation. Not ghosting people. Real, chosen quiet that pulls you out of the noise long enough to get honest with God and hear Him again. We talk about what it looks like when the spirit fee...

August can feel like a slow grind, even when life is good. I’m C Dub, and while you’re hearing this, I’m out hiking in Glacier National Park, soaking in some of the most beautiful scenery in Montana and doing something my soul needs just as much as my body: getting quiet. Not the kind of quiet where you avoid people, but the kind where you finally have space to hear God again, recover your focus,...

Thunder rolls in the background while we tackle something even louder: the way Christian trends can hijack discernment. Bones and I talk about the surge of celebrity Christianity and what happens when a high profile new believer gets saved, grabs a platform, and starts teaching right away. We celebrate every genuine conversion, but we also ask the hard question: are we building disciples, or are w...
