Coffee and Cross Talk: Faith, Family & Fitness
Coffee and the Cross is a podcast for everyday Christian men who are trying to live out their faith in everyday life, lead their family well, and be fit in marriage, at work, with their money, in their leadership, spiritual fitness, and mentally fit.
This isn’t a show for men who have it all figured out. It’s a down-to-earth, Jesus-centered conversations for salt-of-the-earth men who love God but and yet 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 not just on Sunday.. you’re in the right place.
Coffee and the Cross exists to help men bring the gospel into everyday life—without shame, without pretending, and without shallow answers.
Pull up a chair. Grab a cup of coffee. Let’s walk this out together.

We'd love to hear from you... Drop us a message...
In this episode of Coffee and the Cross, we continue the Flawed Men, Faithful God series with the story of Abraham—a man known for his faith, but whose journey also included fear, waiting, and trying to take control.
Abraham’s story in Genesis shows us that real faith isn’t about perfection—it’s about trusting God when life doesn’t make sense. From stepping out in obedience in Genesis 12 to struggling with fear in Egypt and trying to force God’s promise in Genesis 16, Abraham’s life is a powerful example of how God builds leaders through both faith and failure.
If you’re a Christian man trying to trust God with your finances, marriage, leadership, or future, this episode will help you understand how faith is tested under pressure—and how God remains faithful through it all.

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
