Send us Fan Mail What does biblical masculinity really look like? In a culture that often portrays men as either weak and incompetent or aggressive and domineering, it can be difficult to separate stereotypes from Scripture. In this episode, we explore how the Bible defines masculinity and why Jesus—not celebrities, influencers, or cultural trends—is the ultimate example of what a man should be. Looking at passages like 1 Corinthians 16:13 and the life of Christ, we discuss strength, courag...

Send us Fan Mail Can you love someone you don't naturally like? We've all heard the phrase, "I love them, but I don't have to like them." But is that really the attitude Scripture calls us to have? In this episode, we explore the tension that can exist between faithful Christians who simply don't connect, have different personalities, or have allowed misunderstandings and assumptions to create distance. Looking at Philippians 4, Colossians 3, and 1 Corinthians 13, we discuss what biblical lov...

Send us Fan Mail We often say “I’m blessed”—but what do we really mean by that? In this episode, we challenge the common idea that blessing simply means good or positive circumstances, and instead explore a more biblical definition—what is truly profitable for our souls, even when life is difficult. Walking through James 1 and Romans 8:28, we unpack how trials, loss, and hardship can still serve a purpose in shaping our faith. From Solomon and David to Israel and the bronze serpent, we ...

Send us Fan Mail Are your words honoring God—even in everyday conversations? In this episode, we’re joined by Kevin Clark from Birmingham, Alabama, to discuss how our speech reflects our hearts and how small, intentional changes can have a significant impact on our homes, relationships, and walk with Christ. We explore what it looks like to speak with grace, use biblical language naturally, and even step into moments of prayer when the opportunity arises. Along the way, we introduce five simp...

Send us Fan Mail Mormons are often kind, family-oriented, and eager to talk about faith—but conversations can quickly stall once you move beyond the surface. In this episode, we walk through a real relationship that led to ongoing Bible study with an LDS couple and highlight how easy it is to use the same words while meaning very different things. At the heart of the discussion is authority: Is the Bible the complete word of God, or one of several sources alongside modern revelation and addit...

Send us Fan Mail We often talk about keeping promises to one another — but what about promises to God? Is a vow the same as promising, or is that bargaining with God? We dig into the difference between making a sincere commitment to God and putting God to the test, and why “let your yes be yes” matters just as much in prayer as it does in everyday life. We walk through key Bible passages on vows and promises, including Gideon’s fleece (Judges 6), Jesus rejecting the temptation to force a sig...

Send us Fan Mail When faith feels routine, what brings it back to life? In this episode, we return to Jesus’ greatest command—loving God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:29–30) —not as a slogan, but as a daily pattern you can actually practice. Using Daniel’s story as our guide, we explore what whole-person devotion looks like when faith is tested, truth is challenged, and obedience is costly. If your faith has started to feel more routine than personal, this conversation...

Send us Fan Mail What should everyday Christian conversation sound like—without feeling fake or performative? In this episode, we discuss Colossians 4:5–6: speech that is gracious, wise, and “seasoned with salt.” Along the way, we wrestle with the tension between being genuine and being intentional: is saying “I’ll pray for you” (or even “Can we pray right now?”) bold faith… or does it feel contrived because we’re simply not used to it? If you’ve ever felt convicted that your speech doesn’t a...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we sit down with Kris Emerson, preacher and host of Excel Still More Podcast, for an honest look at podcasting as ministry: the wins, the pivots, the discouragements, and the moments that prove it matters. Kris shares how a simple idea recorded on the closet floor grew into a weekly tool for spiritual growth, and why his message has shifted from self-improvement to Jesus-anchored transformation. We also talk shop — recording habits, personal standards, editin...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we sit down with Kris Emerson to discuss how Christians can stay focused on Christ over extremes of Christian leanings. We explore why chasing spiritual “rightness” outside of Jesus can lead to fear, division, and extremes — whether on the left, the right, traditional, or progressive. If you've wrestled with church culture, legalism, credibility, or fear-based decision-making, we hope this conversation will encourage you to see Jesus first. Contact the Exhort...
