One nation, under… what?

So Brandon, do you believe in God?

Fantasy football isn’t the only thing that Jill takes seriously. Her faith ranks at the top of her list, and in this episode she has questions for Brandon about his. This episode covers the trifecta: God, family and football. Join us in the box seats for this spirited conversation.

One nation, under… what?

The Founding Fathers established the United States with specific values in mind, but their intentions are up for debate. Jill and Brandon dig in on their interpretations of our country’s values, whether they hold up in today’s reality, and if we ultimately find ourselves in a national identity crisis.

Where do you stand on the accountability ladder?

This week’s episode is a sweet one! Jill and Brandon talk through The Accountability Ladder: a tool they’ve used to relate to the world, each other and themselves. Rung by rung they swap stories, drop some top-tier life wisdom, and find common ground in their own accountability foibles. In the spirit of this episode, we take full accountability for the audio quality around 24 minutes in (it's hail season out west!).

How much agency should USAID have?

Unlike the Super Bowl, the issue of government spending on USAID doesn’t have a clear winner. Is the government cleaning up the books with the taxpayer dollar in mind? Or are they shutting it down without a clear plan? Tune in to hear Jill and Brandon add their two cents to the USAID budget.  What Jill shared with Brandon:  * https://thefederalist.com/2025/02/03/if-presidents-cant-control-executive-agencies-elections-are-fake/ [https://thefederalist.com/2025/02/03/if-presidents-cant-control-executive-agencies-elections-are-fake/] * https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrats-panic-after-their-horrifying-money-laundering-scheme-was-revealed [https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrats-panic-after-their-horrifying-money-laundering-scheme-was-revealed] * https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/trump-floats-america-taking-over-gaza-major-girls-sports/id1532976305?i=1000689426438 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/trump-floats-america-taking-over-gaza-major-girls-sports/id1532976305?i=1000689426438] What Brandon shared with Jill:  * https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/us/politics/usaid-foreign-aid-musk.html [https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/us/politics/usaid-foreign-aid-musk.html] * https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/us/politics/usaid-funding-trump-fact-check.html [https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/us/politics/usaid-funding-trump-fact-check.html]

Does God have a plan?

Jill and Brandon are back to discuss the higher powers that be. Is God orchestrating each of our lives? Or instead focused on the broader vision for the world? We might not know how this sausage is made, but we’re all in the casing.
