Moms, Critics, and Peanut Butter Toast | Behind the Scenes Ep. 5

Socks and Sacred Pathways | Behind the Scenes Ep. 7

This week, Ben and Lynley talk about Sacred Pathways — basically, the different ways people feel close to God. For Lynley, that usually means being outside. For Ben, it usually means a book and a cup of coffee. They also talk about parenting adult kids, why Ben doesn’t usually get into politics from the pulpit, and a few random things they’d miss about each other… including deer calls and socks in pockets. #BehindTheScenes #BellevueBaptist #BenAndLynley #SacredPathways #CampOutrageous #ParentingAdultKids New to Bellevue?

Banjo Dan and Petty Games | Behind the Scenes Ep. 6

Ben and Lynley talk through what stood out from the sermon on Nehemiah 4, including jealousy, comparison, and the temptation to return evil for evil. Ben shares the story of “Banjo Dan,” Lynley admits how hard it is not to play petty games, and they also get into a thoughtful question about spiritual warfare, prayer, and what it means to resist Satan. #behindthescenes #BellevueBaptist #BenAndLynley #Nehemiah #SpiritualWarfare #ChristianPodcast #FaithAndLife #Prayer#BehindTheScenes #BenAndLynley #Nehemiah #Comparison #Jealousy #SpiritualWarfare #Prayer #Podcast

Moms, Critics, and Peanut Butter Toast | Behind the Scenes Ep. 5

Ben and Lynley start this one with rapid-fire Mother’s Day questions that somehow lead to Reese’s eggs, movie theater jackets, and the worst sound a dog owner can hear. Then the conversation shifts into something more honest — the emotional weight of preaching, criticism, leadership, and how they process hard things people say online.They also talk about sermon feedback at home, the challenge of “making the Bible interesting,” family relationships, and why Mother’s Day can feel joyful and heavy at the same time.A little funny, a little serious, and very much just a real conversation.#BehindTheScenesPodcast #MothersDay #ChurchLife #Leadership #Family #Podcast #BenAndLynley

Perfectionism, Crown Molding, and Cheerios | Behind the Scenes Ep. 4

Ben and Lynley try to cover five things in 15 minutes, starting with the sermon illustration about being one degree off and how small drifts can show up in everyday life. They talk about contentment, perfectionism, why honesty matters in relationships and ministry, and then get into a little show-and-tell with a few things that mean a lot to them. They also share some quirks they’ve quietly accepted about each other, including airport luggage habits, two-finger pointing, and Lynley’s Cheerios situation. #BehindTheScenes#BellevueBaptistChurch#BenAndLynley#Podcast#FaithAndLife#Bellevue

What We’re Learning at Bellevue | Behind the Scenes Ep. 3

This week, Ben and Lynley start with a few lighter questions before getting into what they’re learning in their first year at Bellevue—the things they love, the things that feel hard, and what it’s like trying to know people well in such a big church. They also talk about the Bible passages that are easier to read than they are to live out, especially when it comes to judgment, forgiveness, and letting go of hurt. The episode ends with a couple of simple stories of kindness from Bellevue members that meant more than they probably realized. #BehindTheScenes #BellevueBaptist #BenAndLynley #BellevueMemphis #ChurchFamily #FaithAndLife #Forgiveness #ChristianPodcast
