Grief, Trust, and a Lot Going On | Behind the Scenes Ep. 2

Fathers, Family, and a Few Do-Overs | Behind the Scenes Ep. 10

It’s episode 10, it’s Father’s Day, and it’s Lynley’s birthday week, so this one naturally turns into a family episode. Ben and Lynley talk about parenting moments they’d probably like a do-over on, including a Disney World line-cutting incident, some questionable makeup advice, and the general humbling reality of raising kids. They also get into what they learned from their own dads, what they appreciate in each other as parents, and why it’s good to remember that your kids aren’t finished becoming who they’re going to be. And as always, they end with their high notes — bathroom tile, church ideas, and cutting a few things so something new can grow.

Short Fuses and a Lot of Grace | Behind the Scenes Ep. 9

Ben and Lynley start this one with the important stuff: fake-stepping at the foot of the bed, panic over hotel alarm clocks, syrup boundaries, and why dogs deserve their own voice. But it doesn’t stay there for long. Lynley talks about a parking lot moment where tired turned into short-tempered real fast, and Ben gets honest about Father’s Day, parenting, and the weight a lot of dads carry. They also talk about how easy it is to fixate on the one negative voice, what responsibility really looks like in leadership, and why Camp Outrageous was such a good reminder that so much of ministry happens quietly, behind the scenes. #BehindTheScenes #BenAndLynley #BellevueBaptist #CampOutrageous #GraceAndMercy #ChurchLife #ChristianPodcast #Leadership #MarriageAndMinistry #BehindTheScenesPodcast

Everybody Plays the Fool Sometimes | Behind the Scenes Ep. 8

This one starts with a kayak that barely gets used and a Jeep purchase Ben still regrets. From there, Ben and Lynley talk about the ways ego shows up — wanting control, wanting credit, and realizing how hard it can be to stay humble even after years of walking with God. They also get into addiction, small habits that can start to control us, what they’re trying to teach their kids, and a couple of simple reminders about listening, giving, and remembering who you are. #BehindTheScenesPodcast #BenAndLynley #RealConversation #FaithAndFamily #EgoAndHumility #Parenting #ChristianLife #Bellevue #PodcastEpisode #RememberWhoYouAre

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
