About this listen

Welcome to the show! In this podcast my wife and I have candid conversations about various topics that will encourage and at times challenge you! The greatest conversations ever had are typically amongst friends in an intimate setting. This is the venue in which the Holy Spirit often works to separate the chaff from the wheat in our lives if we are being honest with ourselves. We hope as you peer behind the veil and join us that you take what you hear and consider it with Gods word in your own life.

  • Calling Evil Good: How Small Compromises Have Huge Impacts
    Dec 4 2025

    What Then Say You?

    How hot is the water around us—and have we noticed? We explore the slow drift from holiness through the “boiling frog” lens, then anchor the conversation in Isaiah: our righteousness is from God, not from good vibes, partisan platforms, or polite silence. That single truth reframes everything from church culture to our daily choices, revealing how small, “reasonable” compromises grow into heavy ropes that pull us off course.

    We get honest about the difference between Jesus eating with sinners and the modern habit of affirming what he never affirmed. Fear often dresses up as kindness. Tradition poses as wisdom. But when we replace courage with niceness, the gospel loses its edge. We challenge the church-as-business trend—when parishioners become customers and Sunday becomes a product, discipleship takes a back seat. Metrics and branding can’t do what repentance and mutual correction were designed to do.

    The heart of our call is intimacy. “I never knew you” isn’t a line for someone else; it’s a warning for anyone content with a surface relationship with Christ. Real fruit only grows from union with the Vine (Jesus Christ). That intimacy fuels discernment in the last days, helps us test fruit rather than hype, and turns fear into bold, tender love. We finish with a practical charge: take inventory, ask where a thread became a rope, and invite the Spirit to cut it. Wake up, stay alert, and let holiness look like daily, Spirit-led obedience that loves people without affirming sin.

  • From Blame To Brotherhood: A Call For Men To Live By The Spirit
    Nov 12 2025

    What Then Say You?

    Stop scrolling and take a breath. This is a straight, unvarnished call to men to trade excuses for obedience and status for the Spirit. We start with confession—cheating, selfishness, gaslighting—not to sensationalize failure, but to strip away the polished stories that keep us from true repentance. Then we revisit Genesis 3 and notice what many of us skipped: Adam was present, silent, and quick to blame. That same reflex shows up in our homes, our timelines, and our choices. If leadership looks like blame-shifting, it isn’t leadership. It’s abdication.

    From there we turn to Galatians 5, where freedom is not a hall pass for the flesh but power to serve in love. We name the works of the flesh—lust, envy, anger, factionalism, self-ambition—and ask hard questions about how culture rewards them in men. Why do we celebrate trophies, titles, and platform while ignoring patience, humility, and self-control? Why do we spend elite effort on bodies and brands, then offer scraps to our souls? The Fruit of the Spirit becomes the true metric of manhood: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control.

    We also face how women carry the heavier cost of male freedom without responsibility. Objectification, exploitation, and silence from men keep the cycle alive. Real leadership refuses the fruit, protects the vulnerable, and speaks truth when it costs. We challenge the obsession with being known and offer a better aim: live as ambassadors who point to the King, not as kings demanding a crown. Let your legacy be faithfulness, not fame. Let anonymity feel like freedom because Jesus is the one people remember.

    If you’re ready to stop performing and start transforming, press play. Bring a Bible, bring honesty, and bring the parts of your heart you’d rather hide. Subscribe, share with a brother who needs it, and leave a review with the one Fruit of the Spirit you’re asking God to grow this week.
