The Bonus Episode We Definitely Didn’t Plan

The Bonus Episode We Definitely Didn’t Plan

In this surprise bonus episode, David and Venus go completely off script. What starts as a conversation about AI quickly turns into a deep dive into NBA playoff rivalries, Victor Wembanyama, Chet Holmgren, sermon preparation, God's faithfulness, and the story behind a sermon that nearly disappeared before Sunday morning. Along the way, they discuss the 24-Hour Burn, how God speaks during sermon preparation, and why sometimes the best conversations happen when there isn't an agenda at all.

Stop Praying for God to Change Your Spouse

In this episode of What Do You Want to Know?, Venus and Pastor David Martin continue their relationship series with the conversation almost no one prepares you for: the reality of marriage once the wedding is over. They dig into whether marriage is about happiness or holiness (or both), why a covenant is nothing like a contract, and the word that makes almost everyone flinch - submission - what it really means, what it absolutely doesn't, and why it can be a joy instead of a power trip. This conversation covers everything from Ephesians 5 and the heavier weight Scripture places on the husband, to how culture quietly trained men to go passive and then blamed them for it, to praying for your spouse instead of trying to fix them, to a brutally honest look at how David and Sarah actually fight (and the Notes-app trick that finally helped), to the lie the enemy whispers into every marriage. If you've ever bristled at the word "submit," felt alone in your own home, wondered why your husband won't lead, or just keep fighting about the same thing over and over, this episode is for you.

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.
