It’s the week before Halloween, and Leslie and Morgan tackle the question every Christian family argues about: board up the windows, go all in, or something in between? Between childhood costume confessions (a sequined crop top at a nursing home, a ladybug costume that never happened), they dig into the real history of the holiday, the megaphone protesters at a church trunk-or-treat, and why you might want to stop “celebrating” Halloween and start redeeming it. Plus: where they draw the line on witches, Harry Potter, and the “scantily clad nurse,” and why showing up to a lingerie party in full gray sweatsuits turned out to be the best night ever.

Unlike the other fruits of the spirit, goodness isn’t something you can muscle through Morgan and Leslie unpack why it’s the one fruit that exposes your true motivation and why the only way to get it is to actually spend time with the God who is good.

Jake is back to talk about the fruit of the spirit he had to work hardest at. As our series on the fruits of the spirit continues, Morgan and Leslie dig into kindness and gentleness with Jake. They talk about why being nice isn't the same as being kind, why hard conversations can be the kindest ones, and what led to Jake's "year of gentleness." Plus, how Jake and Emily keep their relationship on track and why Jake thinks there's no such thing as a good breakup.

Tessa Armstrong is a therapist, women's Bible study leader, and author of a brand new six-week Bible study on identity — and she came to talk about all of it. In this episode, Morgan and Leslie dig into what it actually means to take every thought captive, why the "protect your peace" mindset might be missing the point, and how Tessa found her way out of an eating disorder not by willpower but by learning to replace lies with truth at the root level. Plus — Tessa's husband's six-year addiction battle, what it looks like to pray for someone without giving up, and the neuroscience that confirms what scripture already said about renewing your mind.

What if the thing you were most afraid of turned out to be the thing that made you most yourself? In this special birthday episode, Morgan and Leslie reflect on their biggest personal growth moments from the past year — the hard stuff, the surprising stuff, and the small daily habits that quietly changed everything — plus what they're actually looking forward to in the year ahead.

We all have that person in our lives we're convinced just needs to change — and we have a very clear plan for how. In this episode, Morgan and Leslie dig into patience as a fruit of the Spirit and why trying to control someone else's growth might say more about your faith than theirs.
