Faith, delusion, and how to open a restaurant (feat. Sebastian Fernandez)

Sebastian Fernandez joins me to talk about building Hearth, redefining hospitality, and the faith that kept him moving when the practical answer was to quit. We also explored how creativity, excellence, and genuine care for people can quietly point them toward Jesus.

What rights do Christians have? (feat. Roni Shasamni)

Roni is back!!! We're talking about America, rights, and what freedom means from a Christian perspective. We look at the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence, all the ways we use the word “right,” and what Scripture says Christians are actually promised by their Creator. It’s a conversation about faith, government, and what it means to follow Jesus in a country built around religious freedom.

What I've been doing for the last two years (feat. Sammie James)

In this episode, my wife Sammie and I talk about one of the strangest and most formative seasons of my life. What started as an act of obedience turned into a much longer journey of waiting, wrestling, and slowly discovering what God was actually doing. It’s a more me-centered conversation than usual about calling, uncertainty, and learning to trust God in the middle of the process.

Obsession, Backrooms, and the case for Christians watching horror (feat. Michael Kern)

Michael Kern is back to talk about Christians and horror. Why the genre gets singled out, how conscience and worldview shape what we watch, and what horror can reveal about fear, evil, catharsis, and redemption. Then we discuss the surprise horror hits Backrooms and Obsession, why these indie films are resonating, and what their stories might have to say about desire, trauma, consent, and freedom.
