  • A Ten Minute Bible Habit Can Change Your Life!

    A Ten Minute Bible Habit Can Change Your Life!
    May 12 2026
    Ten minutes doesn’t sound like much. But what if ten minutes a day in the Bible could actually change your life? In this first episode of our new series, Unlocking the Bible, we explore why so many Christians want to read Scripture consistently but struggle to follow through. We talk about the power of small daily habits, why “tiny beginnings” matter more than dramatic resolutions, and how even a few minutes each day in God’s Word can slowly transform the kind of person you become. We also share practical encouragement for building a sustainable Bible-reading rhythm that actually lasts. 🔔 Subscribe now & don't miss an episode of our brand-new series, Unlocking the Bible. 👀 📚 Join our book club!

  • Is Hard Work a Myth? A Christian View of Success and Merit

    Is Hard Work a Myth? A Christian View of Success and Merit
    May 5 2026
    In America, we’re told that if we work hard, make good choices, and play by the rules, we’ll succeed. But is that actually how life works? In this *final* episode of our Not Just Sacred series, we explore the “myth of hard work” and take a closer look at how success really works. How much of where you are today is due to your effort and choices, and how much is due to factors outside your control? Looking at everything from cultural assumptions to biblical wisdom, we unpack the strengths and limits of meritocracy, the hidden role of luck (or grace), and why seeing your life rightly can lead to greater humility, generosity, and gratitude. 🔔 Subscribe now!

  • Why Aren't People Having Kids Anymore?

    Why Aren't People Having Kids Anymore?
    Apr 28 2026
    Why are fewer people having kids, and does it really matter? In recent years, birth rates have dropped dramatically across the U.S. and much of the world. While many assume it’s a financial issue, the deeper cause may be cultural: we’ve stopped seeing children as a blessing and started seeing them as a burden. In this fourteenth episode of our Not Just Sacred series, we explore what’s behind the decline in marriage and family, how our cultural values around money, career, and independence have shifted, and what the Bible has to say about children, marriage, and the purpose of family. We also cast a positive vision for why Christians should value and embrace children, not as obstacles to a good life, but as part of God’s design for it. 🔔 Subscribe now!

  • Social Media for Kids: What Christian Parents Should Know

    Social Media for Kids: What Christian Parents Should Know
    Apr 21 2026
    Recent data doesn’t lie: the kids aren’t alright. In recent years, rates of anxiety, loneliness, depression, eating disorders, and suicide attempts have risen dramatically among American teens, and it’s becoming harder and harder to ignore the role smartphones and social media are playing. In this thirteenth episode of our Not Just Sacred series, we tackle what may be the biggest parenting question of our time: should kids have smartphones and social media? We explore what the data says about how phones and social media are affecting children and teens, why this issue matters for Christians (whether parents or not), and how parents can think biblically and wisely about protecting their kids’ minds, hearts, and development. We also offer practical ways to delay phones, limit access, and protect your kids from a screen-shaped childhood. 🔔 Subscribe now so you won't miss the rest of our Not Just Sacred series!

  • Is Social Media Making You Less Like Jesus?

    Is Social Media Making You Less Like Jesus?
    Apr 14 2026
    Whether you realize it or not, your social media habits are shaping you spiritually. So, how should Christians use social media? In this twelfth episode of our Not Just Sacred series, we explore how platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, and even YouTube shape our habits, attention, relationships, and spiritual lives. We talk about why social media is so attractive, how it quietly forms us over time, and why it can be so hard to step away. We end with some practical ways adults can use social media more wisely (or decide it may be better to step back altogether). 🔔 Subscribe now so you won't miss the rest of our Not Just Sacred series!

  • Are Personality Tests Biblical?

    Are Personality Tests Biblical?
    Apr 7 2026
    "Astrology for smart people." That's how some have described personality tests like the Enneagram, Myers-Briggs, StrengthsFinder, DISC, or Working Genius. But do these tools have any place in the Christian life? Can they actually help us live more wisely and more biblically? In this eleventh episode of our Not Just Sacred series, we explore how personality assessments can help with self-awareness, teamwork, and understanding others, while also warning against using them as excuses, identities, or substitutes for biblical wisdom. 🔔 Subscribe now so you won't miss the rest of our Not Just Sacred series!

  • Should Christians Drink? A Biblical View of Food and Alcohol

    Should Christians Drink? A Biblical View of Food and Alcohol
    Mar 31 2026
    Should Christians drink alcohol? Be drunk? Have a "buzz"? How can you tell if you’re being controlled by the things you eat? What does the Bible actually say about gluttony, drunkenness, and enjoying God’s good gifts? In this tenth episode of our Not Just Sacred series, we explore how food and drink show up throughout Scripture, from Eden and manna to the Lord’s Supper and the wedding feast of the Lamb. We discuss the double meaning of food and alcohol in the Bible: they are gifts to be received with joy, but they can also become powerful places where idolatry takes root. We end on a positive note, showing how God ultimately wants us to enjoy his good gifts for his glory. 🔔 Subscribe now so you won't miss the rest of our Not Just Sacred series!

  • BONUS! Book Club: A Christian Discussion of Trust by Hernán Díaz

    BONUS! Book Club: A Christian Discussion of Trust by Hernán Díaz
    Mar 29 2026
    How do you engage with a brilliant book that isn’t explicitly Christian? In this *bonus* episode, we put the Not Just Sacred series into practice by discussing Trust by Hernan Diaz, the novel our listeners voted to read with us. With full spoilers ahead, we unpack the book’s layered structure, surprising reversals, and deeper questions about truth, power, perspective, and who gets to shape the story. More than a book review, we hope this serves as a model for how Christians can read secular literature with wisdom, discernment, and curiosity. 🔔 Subscribe now so you won't miss the rest of our Not Just Sacred series!
