While Amy and Maya are walking around town, they stumble upon Evan, sitting outside the local Mcdonalds. They decide to walk over and say hello, but as they get closer they notice he appears to be deep in thought. The ladies ask him how he's doing, and he let's them know that he's struggling with a very difficult conundrum. He's already had lunch, but he really wants another cheeseburger. When asked why he would want another, Evan responds by explaining to them the unlimited power and energy that it could provide to him. Maya and Amy shake their heads at one another, and remind him of the consequences of eating too much of something. Evan assures them that he knows the need for self control, but that it can be so hard sometimes. The ladies suggest that they take an in depth look at self control and look at how the world views it, versus what the Bible says about it. Why it's important for believers to have self control. Also, what are some good ways to practice it.

After power walking up "C" Hill, Maya and Ann stop to enjoy the view and take a water break. Unfortunately their enjoyment is short lived as they hear a terrible noise coming from behind them. They turn around to see Evan huffing and wheezing as he jogs up to the top of the hill, and falls to his knees. Maya and Ann rush over to help Evan up, and offer him some water. Once he's able to catch to his breath, Maya asks him what happened. He informs them that after enjoying his regular order at McDonalds, three cheeseburgers. He thought it'd be a good idea to work off the extra calories and stay in shape, by running up "C" Hill. The two women inform him that trying to conquer a big challenge like that, without prepping beforehand, can be very risky. Evan nods his head in response, but asks how he should prep for getting older. Because eventually his body won't be able to go run up a hill after a large and happy meal. Maya and Ann tell him that there's actually a difference between what the secular world says about aging, and what the Bible says about it. But that it's good for him to start prepping now, and eventually he can share what he learns with others.

While Pastor Mike is prepping his sermon notes for Romans 3, Kristen practices her CSI Chadron skills by looking for a blood trail. After several minutes of unsucessful searching, Kristen finally finds the start of the trail. She excitedly yells to Pastor Mike, "It goes this way!" But is startled when Evan jumps out in front of her, and responds, "This is the way!" After calming down from the frights, Kristen remembers a story about blood that she read in Romans 3. She offers to teach Evan and Pastor Mike about it, but Pastor Mike asks her if she could rap it instead. Not wanting to show off her singing skills she learned from Shania Twain, Kristen offers to speak it in Italian. Pastor Mike counters, by asking her to speak it in Russian. Feeling left out, Evan jumps in, and suggests they just do a podcast episode about it. Everyone agrees, and they discuss the context of the passage, define difficult terms, and look at what God, Christ, and man are all doing in the passage.

When Evan shows up late to the meat shop, Cole threatens to fire him. But his phone goes off before he's able to, and Evan threatens to fire him instead, for not silencing the phone. Luckily, Kassy jumps in to calm the situation, and reminds them that they both need the job for income. Cole and Evan agree, but are unsure of what to do with their income. Cole suggests they buy some haying equipment, but Evan wants to go get some cheeseburgers instead. Once again, Kassy jumps in and suggests they look through God's Word. That way they can get a Biblical perspective on money, understand how to be good stewards of it, and learn the heart attitude behind giving.

While delivering the mail, Evan stumbles upon Burt and Sam. He realizes they're talking about all the crazy upsets in the march madness tournament, and wants to join in the fun. After nodding along for several seconds, Evan, comments on how he saw the purple team do really well at dribbling the soccer ball down the rink and kicking it in the net for 7 points. Unfortunately for Evan, in his haste to join in the conversation, he forgot that he didn't know anything about basketball or the tournament. And from the confused looks on both Burt's and Sam's faces, he's able to deduce that they figured it out as well. So, in an attempt to save face, Evan questions if sports are even that important anyways. This leads to a deep theological discussion on what the Bible says about sports, what sports can show you about your inner heart, and the need for a believer to keep their priorities straight.

While working on his house, Evan enjoys some manly grunts. He proceeds to measure once, before cutting a board for the frame. However, Evan finds that the framing is not too agreeable, and the board ends up being short. After letting out his frustration by yelling at the walls, Evan decides to go outside and try to cool off. Unfortunately, his neighbors are outside as well, and they happily greet him as he steps outside. In an effort to bury his emotions, Evan tries to bring out his inner Spock, before approaching the neighbor's wood fence. Sadly, his Spock persona fails, as Logan and Maya had heard him yelling earlier. Luckily for Evan, Logan had just stopped by to talk about emotions with Maya, and they suggest he join them. Together the trio discuss what the Bible says about emotions, how to deal with emotions properly, and even look at the physical aspects of emotions.

Well there ain't no story like the man who got ate by a whale. A tale as old as time. Full of pirates, fish slappers, and of course twisted cheese curls. But we're getting ahead of ourselves. Our story starts with Kristen, who was busy not doing anything. Along came a friend who wanted to help lead a Bible study of the book of Jonah. Kristen suggested that they could daydream about singing vegetables instead, but gave in after her friend insisted. Several ladies came to the study, including Kassy. Upon completion of the study, both Kassy and Kristen were left with many thoughts and questions. And what better way to think things through, then with a podcast? Together with Evan, the ladies look at the setting/background of Jonah, some difficulties of studying the book, and what they learned from their studies. But will they answer the most important question of all time? Are tomatoes a fruit or a vegetable?
