Today we’re sharing the full story behind "pool-gate" Maybe the most controversial decision we've posted about in a LONG time. While it might have seemed unexpected, it really came down to thinking through safety, costs, and what makes the most sense for our family right now.
We walk through how we processed that decision together, the conversations we had, and why we ultimately felt peace moving forward—even though not everyone agreed. It also led into a bigger conversation about how to make wise choices in marriage, especially when there are a lot of outside opinions coming in.
We also touch on what it’s like sharing your life online and navigating both encouragement and criticism, and why it’s so important to lead with grace instead of quick judgment. We talk a little about Justin Bieber and the conversations around his Coachella performance, and how easy it is to form opinions without really knowing someone’s heart.
And of course, we mix in some lighter moments—sharing embarrassing audition stories and talking about overcoming fears like public speaking. Overall, it’s a real, honest conversation about making decisions you feel confident in, even when they don’t make sense to everyone else.

Kaleb and I basically turned the podcast into a full-on debate stage! We’re going head-to-head on some pretty spicy takes — from whether sports betting is actually “investing” (??), to if sports are lowkey an idol, to the most RANDOM arguments like dogs wearing shoes and cats being wild animals 😭
But underneath all the laughs and roasting each other, we actually get into some deeper conversations about balance, addiction, priorities, and what really matters in life and relationships. We talk about how anything — even good things — can become unhealthy if we’re not careful.
And yes… you guys are voting on who wins each debate 👀
In This Episode
02:00 – Explaining the Rules
06:16 – Sports Betting as an Investment
08:00 – Gambling & Addiction Concerns

We sit down with Carl Lentz, ex-Hillsong pastor, and we didn’t feel like we were talking to a “celebrity pastor” or someone from headlines—It felt like we were talking to a real human being who has walked through the fire and come out on the other side. This episode honestly felt different… like one of those conversations that stays with you. What stood out to me the most is how honest he was. No excuses. No pretending. Just real ownership of his mistakes, his pain, and his growth.
He talked about how small compromises turned into bigger ones… how pressure and fame didn’t create his issues, but exposed what was already there. And instead of running from it, he leaned into healing. We also talked about Hillsong, what it was, what it wasn't, Carl's forthcoming book, and so much more.
