Life has a funny way of hitting the fast-forward button when you least expect it—and sometimes it doesn’t even ask permission first.

In this episode of Biblical Brews and Family Views, Eric and Angela sit down to catch you up on the last couple of months and share why we’ve been a little quiet around here. From sickness and hospital stays, to the sudden loss of family members and loved ones, to the joyful surprise of our daughter’s engagement—life has been throwing curveballs like it’s trying out for the majors. (Spoiler alert: we did not warm up first.)

We ramble a bit, we laugh where we can, we reflect where it hurts, and we talk honestly about what God has been teaching us in the middle of the mess. This episode isn’t polished or scripted—it’s real life, real faith, and real lessons learned when everything feels upside down.

If you’ve ever felt knocked off track, overwhelmed, or unsure how to keep moving forward, you’re not alone. Grab a coffee (or something stronger—we won’t judge), and join us as we reset, reconnect, and get back to sharing life, faith, and hope together.

We’re glad to be back—and we’re really glad you’re here.

In this real and raw episode, Eric and Angela open up about something they’ve learned the hard way: they are simply better together. Whether it’s ministry, parenting six kids, juggling schedules, navigating tough decisions, or just trying to figure out what’s for dinner — life works best when they’re a team.

But ministry doesn’t always let them be in the same room… or the same state. Sometimes circumstances call one away, and that separation isn’t easy. They talk honestly about the emotional, spiritual, and practical challenges that come with doing life and calling apart — and how the enemy loves to prowl in those moments of isolation.

This conversation gets vulnerable, a little funny, occasionally tear-tinted, and almost therapeutic as they reflect on why God designed us for connection, not independence. They unpack the truth that two are stronger than one, and together they can take on anything — chaotic mornings, church curveballs, and even the devil himself.

If you’ve ever felt the tension between your calling and your closeness… this episode will remind you that you don’t have to do life alone. We are wired for relationship, for partnership, and for cheering each other on through every battle and blessing.

Pull up a chair, pour your favorite brew, and join us for a heartfelt look at why we truly are… Better Together.

Parenting is messy, beautiful, exhausting, and… let’s be honest… often way less “Instagram-perfect” than we’d like it to look. In this episode of Biblical Brews & Family Views, Eric and Angela dive into the tension between authenticity and social desirability as parents and Jesus-followers.

Do we raise our kids for the applause of others, or do we raise them to live faithfully before God—even when it doesn’t look polished? From Sunday morning meltdowns to the pressures of “highlight reel” parenting, we’ll share some of our own stories, laughs, and lessons along the way. Together, we’ll explore what Scripture says about pleasing God rather than people (Galatians 1:10) and how to model a faith that’s real, not filtered.

So grab a cup of coffee, pull up a chair, and join us as we talk about raising kids, following Jesus, and embracing the beauty of imperfection.

It’s been a summer of change in the Skelton house—taking our oldest two to college, adjusting to life with “only” four kids at home, and diving headfirst into a new homeschool year. At church, we’ve celebrated a fresh name and a renewed sense of identity. And now… we’re finally back behind the mics!

In this episode, we talk about the ups and downs of transition, what it means to find identity in Christ when everything around you is shifting, and how to embrace the rhythms God is setting for the next season. Grab a cup of coffee, pull up a chair, and join us for some honest conversation, laughter, and hope as we step into Fresh Starts and New Rhythms.

Ever wonder what Sunday mornings really look like in a pastor's home with six kids, a sermon to preach, and coffee that’s never quite hot enough? In this episode, Eric and Angela pull back the curtain on their pre-church chaos, Saturday night setups, spiritual rhythms, and the sacred (and slightly messy) dance of getting their family ready to worship.

From last-minute wardrobe malfunctions to whispered prayers over mugs of coffee, we share the real-life routines, laughs, and lessons that help us show up with full hearts—whether we’re on time or not.

Whether you’re leading a church, wrangling kids, or just trying to keep your soul centered before the service, this episode is for you.

🎙️ Grab your brew and join us as we talk:

• Why Sunday starts on Saturday
• How we model worship in the home
• The power of laughter, grace, and a solid pot of coffee

Let’s get honest, caffeinated, and ready for church—together.

In this episode, Angela and I sit down with our third-born and only blond-haired, blue-eyed child—Gavin David. With his unique mix of compassion and quiet strength, Gavin opens up about life as the middle kid, his dreams of becoming a pastor… or maybe a movie director (we’ll see which one sticks!). Things get personal as we talk about the upcoming fall, when his older brother and sister head off to college, and he steps into the role of the oldest sibling at home. Join us for laughs, sibling memories, a few dad jokes, and a heartfelt conversation with a kid whose love for others shines—even if he likes to keep to himself sometimes.

Oh, and full disclosure: Angela was running on pure caffeine, and I—regrettably—grabbed the decaf. So if my responses seem unusually calm and hers are extra peppy... now you know why. ☕😄
