The Weekend Joyride
The Weekend Joyride is a 30ish-minute weekly podcast with Mac and Rhoni—real conversations about faith, life, and the moments that make you stop and think.
Each episode blends everyday observations, spiritual insight, and stories that feel close to home—whether it’s something happening around Central Texas or something happening in your own life.
It’s not about having all the answers. It’s about noticing what matters, growing through it, and enjoying the ride along the way.
