Did it even happen on December...

From the 80-pound sugar shocker to Clark Griswold’s famous Christmas meltdown, the team laughs through the chaos of holiday indulgence and unrealistic expectations.

Then host Steve Wyatt walks us into Isaiah 40:31—one of the B...

In this lighthearted but deeply meaningful episode, Steve Wyatt is joined by John Samples and Mary Beth Dodd to explore the power of humor in the Gospel. From why Steve almost named the show Laughing Jesus Radio, to tales of wheelchair races in church basements and wedding bloopers that ended in baptistries, this is one of the most joy-filled episodes yet. But beneath the laughs is a serious convi...

We kick off with Hot Takes!
