Feeling overwhelmed by global crises and national headlines? In this episode, we talk about “ensmallening” our focus, shifting from paralyzing big-picture problems to the small, local, relational work that Jesus himself modeled. God has placed people right in front of us to love, serve, and walk alongside. Join us for a shorter, reflective episode as we unpack why living small is actually the big way the Kingdom grows. Plus, please...

In this episode, Ryan and Scott dive into the growing trend of “vibes theology”, a faith guided more by feelings than Scripture. Prompted by Ryan’s article, they explore why every Christian is a theologian (whether they know it or not), how cultural catchphrases like “I’m no theologian, but…” can undermine spiritual growth, and how to pursue a faith rooted in truth.
Ryan's article: Vibes Theology
What does it mean to truly follow Jesus? Especially in a world full of political power struggles, religious tribalism, and cultural confusion? In this episode, Cody Cook joins us to explore the heart of Anabaptist theology: a faith rooted in community, peace, and the cross. Drawing from his book The Pocket Anabaptist, Cody helps us rediscover a simple but radical invitation to live like Jesus, not just believe in Him.
The guys are back with special guest Shane Claiborne to talk about his book "Rethinking Life: Embracing the Sacredness of Every Person." Reforming guns into gardening tools, Shane takes the peace perspective to the next level by rethinking the Christian call to be a peacemaker.
