#20 - The Great Hot Dog Debate, a Stingray Attack, and God's Perfect Timing

Season One comes to a close with one of our most entertaining—and surprisingly meaningful—episodes yet. What starts with stingray stories, shark fishing, Father's Day memories, Texas cookout debates, and a questionable men's calendar idea somehow turns into a powerful conversation about divine appointments, spiritual inheritance, sonship, and recognizing when God is working behind the scenes.  We wrestle big questions like: What if more of your daily encounters are orchestrated by God than you realize? It's the perfect blend of humor, friendship, real life, and Kingdom truth as we wrap up Season One of the Connect the Kingdom Podcast.

#18 - Dirtbags, Disciples, Divine Design, and did Jesus Pray in Tongues?

Did Jesus pray in the Spirit? What do we do when we're waiting on God? Why does an all-powerful God choose partnership with flawed people? And what in the world do Genesis 1, Cain's wife, and the Bride of Christ have to do with any of it? From laughter to theology, this episode reminds us that God isn't looking for perfect people, He's inviting willing partners into His Kingdom work.
