Zach and Jill are looking to re-do their premarital counseling after a spirited debate over the Final Four. It's an entertaining start as Jill draws attention to Zach’s eventful week, which also includes a tiff with his co-host, Brandon.
The trio dives into the Gospel of Mark, exploring the profound moment when Jesus calls His disciples. They leave everything behind to follow Him, but do they truly understand what they’re getting into? And do we grasp what it means to follow Jesus in our own lives?
This episode delves into the true meaning of "following," which has become a reductive term in 2025. To genuinely follow is to know deeply, to be close behind, and to chase after. Jesus is inviting us into a life not defined by works but by grace—a life where we come to know Him and His love so profoundly that it shapes every aspect of our lives. In a merit-based world where we’re constantly compared and judged by our accomplishments, it’s challenging to shed that mentality as we walk with Christ.
Through personal anecdotes and theological insights, Zach, Jill, and Brandon uncover the burdens of a works-based faith and the refreshing freedom found in embracing God’s grace. Responding to His call not only brings about transformation within ourselves but also integrates us into a loving community—a community that Jesus builds within us as we embrace our role as “fishers of men.”
Tune in for a compelling discussion on grace, discipleship, and the abundant life Jesus invites us all to experience!

2 Timothy 2 verse 1 -
True revival is much more than a stirring moment—it's the spark that ignites lasting transformation, fueled by a genuine movement of the Holy Spirit. In this episode, we explore how authentic revival doesn't end with an overwhelming spiritual experience; rather, that's just where it begins.
Together with Brian Rice, we unpack how revival must lead us deeper—to real discipleship, honest self-reflection, and the courage to confront our own sinfulness. Our hearts are being shaped well before any remarkable experience takes place, and this formation continues long after the initial wave of emotion has passed. Often, it's in the quiet, overlooked moments where true transformation blossoms.
Join us for an insightful conversation that invites you beyond spiritual highs toward lasting change. You'll discover the power of the Holy Spirit not only to inspire but also to sustain genuine renewal and growth. -

I can recite scripture and even exegetically preach scripture, but do I know God? In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Brian Rice to explore this deeply personal question that resonates with many of us. Brian shares his journey through a wilderness of doubt and questioning, reminding us that knowing God transcends mere theological knowledge.
We discuss the reality that anything meaningful in life—whether it’s a strong marriage, raising kids, or finding joy in our work—requires a long, slow, and often challenging journey of spiritual formation. While we’re great at sowing seeds of faith, we often struggle with the crucial incubation period necessary for real growth.
In a fast-paced culture that tries to shape us, how can we ensure we're being formed by the living God? Join us as we uncover practical insights for deepening our relationship with Jesus amid life’s chaos. This conversation is packed with vulnerability, hope, and a shared desire to know God more intimately. Don't miss it! -
The wait is over—the King has come, and His Kingdom is right here, right now. This isn’t only some distant hope or future promise; it’s a living reality unfolding before our eyes. But are we paying attention?
In this episode, we dive into the life-changing truth that Jesus isn’t just waiting for something to happen—He’s actively transforming lives, breaking chains, and calling us into something far greater than we ever imagined. The Kingdom of God is here, and He’s inviting us to step into it.
We’ll explore how belief and repentance open the door to this Kingdom, why Jesus dwelling among us changes everything, and how so many miss out on true freedom by chasing distractions that lead nowhere. This conversation will challenge you to reexamine your life, break free from destructive habits, and align with the reality of God’s Kingdom.

Brandon weaves in insights from Old Testament prophets like Isaiah, while Jill highlights how Jesus accomplishes what Adam could not.

Have you ever wondered why the sinless Jesus would need to be baptized?

They explore its connection to Old Testament themes of redemption and the great exchange of sin for righteousness central to the Gospel.

Delighting in the Trinity by Michael Reeves -
From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible reveals God’s plan to dwell with His people, culminating in the coming of Jesus Christ, the Savior who fulfills all things.
In this episode, we dive into Mark chapter one, where Jesus steps onto the scene as the fulfillment of God’s promises. This moment is rich with New Exodus language: Just as Joshua led the Israelites across the Jordan into the Promised Land, John the Baptist stands at the Jordan, preparing the way for Jesus to fulfill the ultimate promise — God redeeming a people for Himself.
We’ll explore the significance of John’s baptism, which invited both Jews and Gentiles into a new relationship with God, and how Jesus’ baptism with the Holy Spirit ushers in true freedom and transformation. Join us as we unpack the beauty of the Trinity, the Spirit’s role in our everyday lives, and the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan through Christ.

Many of us grew up with a reductionist view that the gospel is solely about the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. While these are central to the gospel message, we expand the definition by exploring Jesus’ own words in Mark 1, verses 14-15, where He proclaims, “The kingdom of God has come near.”
We explore how the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus are not separate from the coming of the kingdom but are the very means by which God’s kingdom breaks into our world. This kingdom is a present reality that transforms our lives here and now, offering us new life, hope, and purpose.
This conversation challenges us to move beyond a limited understanding, celebrating the gospel as both the victory over sin and death and the announcement of a new way of living. Join us as we rediscover the depth and beauty of the gospel and how it shapes every moment of our lives, thus erasing the secular and sacred divide. It is all His.

Truth isn’t just an idea—it’s a person. We’ll explore how the church has often avoided the hard conversations about truth and why stepping into those discussions is vital for our lives and society.
Through the beauty of creation and the authority of Scripture, we’ll see how God reveals Himself and invites us to know Him—not with blind faith, but with a faith that is tangible, real, and life-changing.
Together, we’ll wrestle with the complexities of God, the implications of truth in a world that often rejects it, and how experiencing love connects us to His divine revelation.
