Should Christians Be Rich
New York is popping off after a game night, and not in a good way. We start by talking through the postgame chaos and why sports fandom can never be a free pass to act violent, especially when regular people are just trying to get home safe. Th...
PDA in Church, Giga Church, and NBA Finals
One minute we’re breaking down the NBA Finals and the wild way a series can flip from “it’s over” to “we’ve got a game,” and the next we’re confessing the modern struggle of streaming services. If you’ve ever searched three apps for one game, d...
Do I need to believe in the Trinity to be a Christian?
New York can barely handle the Knicks making the finals, and we start right there with the kind of sports talk that feels like the whole city is holding its breath. But that chaos quickly turns into a different kind of intensity when we read li...
Do Pastors Need A Degree To Preach, New Pandemic, Mother's Day
Authority is easy to claim and hard to prove, especially online and sometimes even in the church. We start with real-life catchup (playoffs takes, wild “new pandemic” rumors, Mother’s Day stories, and a surprisingly deep pickleball arc), then p...
Pastor vs Aliens, Is Jesus on Every Page of The Bible, Control issues
The moment somebody says “aliens,” a lot of people either panic or laugh and keep scrolling. We did neither. We took the question seriously enough to ask what it would mean for Christian theology, spiritual warfare, and the unseen realm, but we...

RJ Bullies His Pastor, New Year Goal, How We Study Our Bibles
Y'all be setting New Year goals? Half the pod does not apparently. Hear our thoughts on goal setting, bible study habits, and if we would do a Power Slap Competition. (Zay would not, but what he would do is crazy!) This episode has everything f...
AI Worship Music, God Is A Woman And Going To Hell Over Christmas
Isaiah HEAVLIY disagrees with everyone on the pod! But why? This week, we tackle the rise of AI worship music and whether or not it is spiritually okay. We also take a look at Pastor Jason's Spotify Wrapped, and his number one was a shocker. An...
Isaiah's Survival Guide, Old Men Complaining, Sports and Listening to Leadership
