S2 Ep 4: You're either all in or You're Not

The Gospel Doesnt Change With Culture

Everyone talks about acceptance. Few people talk about surrender. In this episode, we’re tackling one of the most difficult conversations facing Christians today, not to win an argument, but to ask a deeper question: What do we do when God’s truth challenges the things we feel most strongly? This is a conversation about identity, culture, parenting, compassion, and the cost of following Jesus when the world is moving in a different direction.   The Two Wooden Beans Podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/033gaUz0xYGxYu4MgxYtGn?si=c4fe831f32744ed2

S2 EP 7: The Cross, The Silence & The Resurrection

A lot of people think faith  means never struggling, but these moments tell a very different story. We’re talking about the moments where faith gets uncomfortable when people switch up, fear takes over, prayers feel heavy, and everything seems to fall apart. The same people praising Jesus suddenly turned against Him. The disciples scattered when things got hard. Peter folded under pressure. Judas let guilt consume him. And through all of it, Jesus still chose love, sacrifice, and grace. This conversation is honest, reflective, and raw for anyone who’s ever struggled with disappointment, confusion, shame, or trying to trust God when life doesn’t make sense. Because sometimes we think faith means always being strong, but these moments show how messy people really are and how faithful God still remains in the middle of it. If you’ve ever felt distant from God, overwhelmed by life, or stuck between fear and faith, this episode is for you. Because even when everything looked hopeless… it wasn’t the end of the story.

S2 EP 6: They Saw Miracles and still doubted

This was a true discussion about what faith means in the context of all the messy things life throws at us.   We dive into topics such as fear, control, doubt, disappointment, holding onto it all, and finally God beginning to take away your need to rely on yourself.   Because truth be told, many of us would love faith as long as it doesn’t require us to sacrifice anything. As long as we do not have to give anything up. As long as we cannot see the purpose behind it. As long as we feel like we are drowning in our attempts to obey Him.   This episode is for those who are over fake-perfect Christianity and desire the authentic kind.   If you have been finding it hard to trust God, struggling to surrender, spiritually drained or confused by the weight of faith, this episode is for you.   This is simply an open discussion about authentic faith and how difficult it is some days.   Ready to worship with us?

S2 EP 5: They're with God...So Why Does This Hurt?

You tell yourself they’re in a better place. You believe it. You really do. So why does it still feel this heavy? Losing someone who loved Jesus hits in a way you don’t expect, because it’s not just personal, it’s spiritual. It leaves a silence where their prayers, their guidance, and their presence used to be. In this episode, I’m talking about the loss of my pastor, the weight of losing fellow believers, and the tension of grieving while still holding onto faith. Why loss can pull us closer to God… and why it can also leave us with questions we don’t know how to answer. And the harder truth: not every believer gets a peaceful ending. Some suffer deeply for their faith and that reality should shake us. This isn’t tied up neatly. It’s just real.

God, Faith and a Legacy

This episode wasn't planned. It's about loss, the weight it carries and how we lean on God when we don't have the words.  Just... press play
