Joe's flying solo this week — Shelli's off the mic as the two of them get ready to leave for a missions trip to El Salvador. So this is a quick one, but maybe the most fitting song he could leave you with: "I Will Follow" by Chris Tomlin, led in worship by Molly Cole. Anchored in Jesus' words in Luke 9 — deny yourself, take up your cross daily, follow Me — Joe walks through a three-point devotion on what it actually means to follow: letting Jesus lead, counting the daily cost, and discovering that what you lose for His sake you gain back a hundredfold. With a word on missions, a Father's Day note for the dads, and an encouraging send-off for whatever step you're facing this week. Wherever He's leading you — go. You're not walking into the unknown. You're walking behind the One who already knows the way.

This week Joe sits down with a special guest — Dr. Kyle Dotson — to talk about one of the most personal hymns ever written. "No One Ever Cared for Me Like Jesus" wasn't born in a church pew on a good Sunday. It came from a man named Charles Weigle who stood on a pier in Florida, abandoned and broken, ready to end it all — and heard God say "Charlie, I care for you." Kyle brings his perspective as a follower of Larry Crabb's work on why human love always has a ceiling, and why that points us straight to the only One who loves without limit. If you've ever felt let down by the people who were supposed to show up for you — this episode is for you. Shelli's out this week, but the conversation is anything but quiet.

This week Joe and Shelli dive into the modern hymn "My Worth Is Not in What I Own" by Keith & Kristyn Getty — and honest question: what are you actually rejoicing in on a Tuesday morning? In a culture that measures us by our titles, our achievements, and our bank accounts, this song pushes back hard. They unpack the lyrics and talk about what it looks like to believe your worth is in Christ when life is going sideways. If you're in a hard season and need a reminder of where your worth actually comes from — this one's for you.
