    When Buddhists Are More Kind Than Christians with Zach Windahl

    Today, I sit down with author and entrepreneur Zach Windahl, who has written multiple books and started a business that creates resources to help people better understand the Bible and grow in their faith.  Zach talks about how he almost walked away from Christianity (because his atheist and buddhist friends were more kind than his Christian friends) and how frustrating it was for him to hear people say they’ve read the book of John 20 times but weren’t living it out.  This conversation is packed with wisdom and inspiration… Tune in to discover how to live out your faith with more authenticity than ever before.

    Great Sex and the Mental Load of Marriage with Dr. Morgan Cutlip

    Looking for great sex in your marriage? In today’s episode, I have a candid conversation with relationship expert Dr. Morgan Cutlip where we explore “the mental load” in marriage and how it can affect our sex life.  Morgan defines the mental load as the invisible and seemingly ​never-ending ​to ​do ​list ​that ​we ​carry ​around ​in ​our ​heads (which often falls on women) and how it can lead to feelings of resentment in relationships.  We also talk about the importance of communication and appreciation in marriage and we dive into practical steps for couples to enhance their connection (which can lead to great sex!).  This discussion promises to challenge husbands to share the mental load with their wives and will equip listeners with practical tools for improving their relationships.

    The Asbury Revival and Humility vs Humiliation with Zach Meerkreebs

    On today’s episode, I connect with pastor and author, Zach Meerkreebs. In 2023, Zach was the guest speaker who preached the message that sparked a 16-day revival at Asbury’s Campus in Wilmore, Kentucky. (Note: Asbury is where I lived and attended seminary!)  Zach opens up about his experiences during the Asbury Revival, what’s happened since, and takeaways for us and the Church. My favorite part of the conversation: through a series of ups and downs of his life, Zach shares how he learned the difference between humiliation and humility. And did he learn this in church or in seminary? No. He learned all of this while working at a donut shop.  Don’t miss this powerful conversation! Grab a copy of Zach’s new book Lower.
