From people shoving matchsticks up their noses for world records to robot rooster fights, skateboarding pigs, and bizarre collectible obsessions, this episode exposes how far culture will go for attention and validation.

Host Steve Wyatt and the team use these outrageous headlines to pull back the curtain on something deeper: the ...

This episode goes far beyond biography. Dr. Lawson opens up about leadership, humility, authenticity, the Velcro Family, the art of frien...

A new year brings hope, promise, and for many, the same old problem. In this episode, Host Steve Wyatt and the crew talk honestly about what happens when you’re staring down a mountain you can’t climb, go around, or pretend isn’t there.

From imposter syndrome and emotional pretending to addiction, grief, and numbing the pain with distractions, the conversation pulls no punches. The team explores why pretending mak...

This special Christmas episode opens with a spirited debate over the greatest Christmas movies of all time—from Elf and Christmas Vacation to the controversial claim that Die Hard really is a Christmas movie. But the conversation takes a surprising turn when Host Steve Wyatt makes the case that Home Alone may be the most Christian Christmas movie of them all—once you see what’s been hiding in plain sight.

This week’s episode opens with the internet’s favorite pastime: hating on Travis Kelce. The crew breaks down why America’s “most hated” NFL player is catching heat... not for touchdowns, but for allegedly never arguing in his relationship. Then things escalate quickly when a Florida man fires shots in a bar fight over… h...

This week opens with one of the wildest Hot Takes we’ve ever covered, a Canadian rapper who tried filming a music video while wing-walking on a plane and paid the ultimate price. That launches the crew into a hilarious but honest conversation about confidence outrunning competence, instant regrets, childhood humiliations, and the dumb choices we all make.

Then the show shifts to NFL fan outrage after Cam Skattebo dared to smi...

The episode starts light... a dad misreads a prank, body-checks the wrong “suspect,” and ends up the punchline of a viral TikTok. But things turn serious fast as the team discusses a Nigerian man rescued from suicide, then attacked by the very crowd that saved him.

Host Steve Wyatt moves from mob mentality to the Lord’s mentality, walking listeners through Moses’ metaphor of the eagle... how God stirs, strip...

We’re rolling back one of your favorites with this BEST OF WM rebroadcast—the episode where water bottles turned out dirtier than toilets, Shedeur Sanders took the NFL by storm (and then fell off a cliff), and humility proved way more impressive than hype.

Host Steve Wyatt brings the laughs, the cast brings the chaos, and together they remind us what biblical holiness actually looks like—hint: not “weird for...

It starts with smoke grenades, drone shows, and one gender reveal gone way too far. Then the crew dives into Charlie Sheen’s wild story, his rise, fall, and shocking turn toward faith. Host Steve Wyatt and the team use humor, honesty, and scripture to remind us that no one is beyond God’s reach.

From Harry Caray’s “Holy Cow” to Paul’s claim he was “the worst of sinners,” this episode ...

This week’s “Leftover Laughs” kick off with a smart toilet that tracks your… well, everything, Scandinavian countries with no word for “please,” and a truckload of escaped monkeys that turned the highway into a bad sci-fi movie. But when the laughs fade, Host Steve Wyatt shifts to something deeper... what happens when it feels like the power’s gone out in your life.

This week’s show kicks off with fall’s loudest tradition— pumpkin spice everything. From $7 lattes to pumpkin-scented cat litter and even “dude wipes,” the team laughs through the chaos of a culture obsessed with flavor fads and crowd trends.

Then host Steve Wyatt flips the focus to a story that defies the crowd’s voice— Brock Purdy, the last pick in the NFL draft turned Super Bowl quarterb...

From alligator joyrides to “Hellmann’s Weddings,” the crew wraps Season One with laughter and lunacy—Florida-style. But as the laughs fade, Pastor Steve Wyatt delivers a powerful challenge drawn from King Solomon’s words: stop hoarding your crumbs and start casting them.

Whether it’s launching a dream, taking a leap of faith, or simply stepping out of comfort, this episode dares you to live fully...

The crew wakes up to the weirdest invention yet—a hotel alarm clock that releases the scent of bacon and coffee instead of noise. From there, they dive into real-life “force multipliers,” moments that make good go viral: Starbucks drive-thru kindness chains, GoFundMe miracles, and Erica Kirk’s powerful act of public forgiveness that inspired thousands to do the same.

This week opens with some laughs.. from a wedding guest who secretly ordered pizza during the reception to yet another viral “rapture date” that didn’t quite pan out. The crew unpacks why Christians keep falling for wild predictions and what it really means to live ready for Jesus’ return without losing your mind... or your pizza money.

Charlie Kirk called the church a life raft in a sinking culture. In this episode, Steve Wyatt and the team dig into why—even with flaws, failures, and frustrations—the local church is still God’s chosen plan for hope and healing.

From stories of childhood church chaos to real-life questions about hypocrisy and disappointment, the team unpacks why walking away from church isn’t the answer. When tragedy strike...

This week, the Wyatt Matters team sets aside the usual Hot Takes to reflect on what they call the most powerful five hours of television they’ve ever seen: the memorial service for Charlie Kirk. From politicians boldly proclaiming the gospel, to reconciliation between public rivals, to Erica Kirk’s stunning words of forgiveness—“Father forgive them”—the service ...

We’re serving up a listener favorite: when the Ohio Supreme Court ruled “boneless wings” don’t actually need to be boneless, and an “all-you-can-eat buffet” ran out of food. The Hot Takes fly, but the meaning is deeper — words matter.

Host Steve Wyatt reminds us that if human words carry weight, how much more do God’s? Whether life feels full or empty, steady or shaken, His Word is un...

We kick off with college football mascots and the unlikely star of Bowling Green State—Pudge the cat. Then it’s a Florida man in Batman pajamas who stopped a thief, proving sometimes your wardrobe really does change your behavior. From there, the crew tackles “Weird-for-Jesus” Christians and why acting strange isn’t proof of faith.

Host Steve Wyatt challenges us to stop copying other Christians or blam...

We start with a new dating trend called Shrekking—lowering your standards in hopes of better treatment. Then it’s the Cracker Barrel rebrand that sparked a storm of outrage online. Both raise the same question: why do we chase image, status, and pride when they rarely deliver what we want?

Pastor Steve Wyatt points us to a different way: the downward path. Following Jesus means emptying ourselves, serving others, and hu...

Only in Denmark: a zoo invites families to donate their pets to feed the lions. Only in politics: Trump jokes that peace in Ukraine might secure his spot in heaven. Both stories expose how culture tries to make sense of life, death, and justice on its own terms.

Host Steve Wyatt shows why that never works — and why the Bible’s story still does. From Genesis to Jesus to us, Scripture is the one true narrative that ground...
