Sometimes God Catches Strays

Bonus Episode w/Pastor Jonathan

The last bonus conversation of the season gets personal fast. Pastor Jonathan flips the format and interviews us, which means you hear what usually stays off mic: what each person brings to the table, the moments that made us laugh so hard we could not start recording, and the parts of this season that honestly changed us. It is funny, it is sincere, and it is a real snapshot of young adults trying to live what we talk about.

There are Three Things - No, Four!

Pressure, setbacks, and conflict can feel like proof something is wrong, but what if they’re actually proof God is building something that will last? In this episode, we wrestle with a hard question: if God loves us, why does He allow conflict? Then we finish strong in Proverbs 29–31 with practical biblical wisdom on self-control, humility, moderation, and the quiet power of consistency. We also clear up common confusion around Proverbs 31 by treating it as poetry and a picture of godly character, not a perfection checklist. If you care about spiritual growth, youth ministry, Christian living, and building a faith that survives storms, this one is for you.  Subscribe, share it with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review with the verse or takeaway that hit you most.

Lions in the Road?!?!

In this episode, we discuss Pastor Jonathan’s message “Umbrellas.”  We get practical about the “umbrellas” we hold up without realizing it. Control, comfort, fear, disappointment, and unmet expectations can filter out God’s presence even while He’s moving. Emotional self-protection can look like wisdom, until it hardens our hearts and keeps us from healing. W Then discuss the wisdom of Proverbs 26–28. If you want a challenge, it’s this: name your umbrella and put it down.

KaPow Craziness

We break down Pastor Jared’s Easter message “The Victory You Didn’t See Coming,” starting with a mistake that felt painful in the moment and ending with a reminder that God can turn what you regret into something that strengthens you. Then we open Proverbs 22–25 and get practical about Christian living: choosing a good reputation over riches, building character instead of chasing status, learning self-control, watching how temptation works, practicing wise boundaries, and treating people with empathy when they are carrying a heavy heart. These are small, daily decisions that shape a faith journey over time. Listen, share this with a friend who needs hope, and then subscribe and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Sometimes God Catches Strays

We’ve all been there: we love God, we want the promise, we even believe He’s leading us but we still freeze because we can’t see the full plan.  We talk about why our world trains us to check every box before we commit, and why the spiritual life doesn’t work that way. We also dig into the idea of process before promise, how spiritual growth happens in the waiting, and why unanswered prayers can be God protecting a bigger purpose. If you’re wrestling with timing, fear, or the unknown “how,” you’ll find language for what you’re feeling and a path forward. Then we shift into our Proverbs series with Proverbs 19, Proverbs 20, and Proverbs 21, pulling out biblical wisdom you can use right now.
