Coffee and the Cross: Love, Life & Money
Coffee and the Cross is a podcast for everyday Christian men who are trying to live out their faith in the real world—marriage, work, money, leadership, and the quiet pressures no one talks about.
This isn’t a show for pastors, theologians, or men who have it all figured out. It’s a down-to-earth, Jesus-centered conversation for blue-collar, salt-of-the-earth men who love God but still wrestle with fear, exhaustion, responsibility, and doubt.
Each episode feels like sitting down over coffee and talking honestly about:
- faith when you’re tired but still showing up
- money anxiety and the pressure to provide
- marriage in the middle miles
- leadership without control
- prayer when you don’t feel spiritual
- trusting Jesus in everyday life
If you’re looking for real talk, biblical truth without hype, and faith that actually works Monday through Saturday, you’re in the right place.
Coffee and the Cross exists to help men bring the gospel into real life—without shame, without pretending, and without shallow answers.
Pull up a chair. Grab a cup of coffee. Let’s walk this out together.

Adam: The man who hid | Flawed Men, Faithful God | Genesis Series
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Adam was the first man God created… and the first man to fail.
In this episode of the Flawed Men, Faithful God series on Coffee and the Cross, we start at the very beginning of the Bible and look at the story of Adam in Genesis. Adam had everything a man could want—purpose, responsibility, relationship with God, and a family to lead. But when fear and failure entered the picture, Adam did what many men still do today… he hid.
We’ll walk through the story of Adam and explore the pattern that many men fall into: failure, fear, and hiding. But the story doesn’t end there. Genesis also shows us something powerful about the character of God—He pursues men even when they run.
If you’ve ever felt like you’ve failed as a husband, father, leader, or follower of Christ, Adam’s story is a reminder that God’s grace is bigger than your mistakes. We’ll talk about the leadership lessons from Adam’s life, what his story teaches us about responsibility and blame, and how the gospel points to Jesus as the second Adam who restores what the first man lost.
This episode is a conversation about real life, real failure, and the faithful God who keeps calling men forward.
Pull up a chair. Grab a cup of coffee.
Let’s talk about the man who hid—and the God who came looking for him.
Steve is married to his High School sweetheart Becky and they have four amazing kids and 4 equally amazing grand-kids.
Steve's prayer is to encourage men in their everyday lives, give them hope and direction to be Godly men, better husbands and better fathers.
I remember hearing the devotional every morning on the radio before school. But… If we heard Robert Cook saying, "Walk with the king today and be a blessing." we knew it was time to run, not walk out the door to catch the bus
