What Do You Wanna Know?

A Stick of Dynamite Didn't Build the Stars

In this Memorial Day weekend episode of What Do You Want to Know?, we keep things short, light, and a little weird while answering three real questions you submitted: how science and Christianity fit together, why God can feel hidden, and what to make of "anti-Paulism." This conversation covers everything from the Apple Watch that obviously needed a designer, to why "something came from nothing" falls apart under pressure, to a chilling story about a remote monastery and a monk painted with flames in his eyes, to what Romans 1 says about a heart that keeps saying no - and whether Paul's letters are really "less inspired" than the words of Jesus. If you've ever wrestled with doubt, felt like God was distant or silent, or wondered whether you can be intellectually honest and still believe, this episode is for you. Have a question?

Worship Is More Than Raising Your Hands (Sarah Martin)

What does it actually mean to “abide” with God? In this episode of What Do You Want to Know?, Venus sits down with Pastor Sarah Martin to talk about prayer, worship, quiet time, distractions, intimacy with God, and how spending daily time with Jesus can completely transform your life and home. This conversation covers everything from creating a secret place with God to navigating busy schedules, raising families, dealing with distractions in worship, and learning how to genuinely enjoy God instead of treating faith like a checklist. If you’ve ever struggled with consistency in prayer, feeling spiritually dry, or wondering why your relationship with God feels distant, this episode is for you.

Why ‘Almost Married’ Isn’t Married (And It Matters)

This episode tackles one of the most real (and uncomfortable) topics in modern relationships: sex, boundaries, and living together before marriage. Is it actually wrong? What if you’re engaged? What if you’re planning to get married anyway? And how do you set boundaries in a culture that pushes in the opposite direction? We don’t dodge the hard questions. We go straight to Scripture, real-life experience, and practical wisdom for dating, relationships, and honoring God with your life. Whether you’re single, dating, engaged, or mentoring someone who is, this conversation matters. Have a question?

Dating Red Flags You Shouldn’t Ignore

Is there really “the one?” Or have we bought into a cultural idea that’s quietly damaging our expectations around dating and marriage? In this episode, we unpack the truth about soulmates, relationships, and why so many marriages hit friction early on. We talk about what actually happens after you say “I do,” why disappointment is inevitable, and how the idea of “deserving better” can lead people down a dangerous path. We also dive into dating: how to spot red flags, why people ignore them, and the importance of spiritual alignment in relationships. If you’ve ever questioned your relationship, struggled with expectations, or wondered how to approach dating in a healthy way, this conversation will give you clarity. Have a question?

Questions Christians Are Afraid to Ask

In this episode of What Do You Want to Know?, Pastor David Martin and Venus Griffith set aside the typical format and just talk - two friends working through some of the questions Christians think about but rarely discuss out loud. They cover three big topics: what happens to our closest relationships in heaven, whether Christians can and should pursue wealth, and what the Bible actually says about tattoos. On heaven, Pastor David shares stories from near-death experiences and hospice nurses that point to something far more beautiful than we can imagine - and reminds us that whatever God has prepared will be better than anything we're afraid of losing. On money, Pastor David pushes back hard on the idea that less is always more spiritually - and makes the case that materialism is a heart condition, not a bank account balance. Generosity, stewardship, and faithfulness matter far more than the number of zeros in your paycheck. On tattoos, they look at what Leviticus actually says, why Jesus fulfilling the law changes the conversation, and why judging someone's tattoos while ignoring other ways we dishonor our bodies doesn't quite add up. This one is honest, deep, and a lot of fun. Have a question?
