E79 | A Chair at the Table with Micah Solomon: Old Friends, New Stories, and a Side of Coca-Cola

What does it take to build meaningful connections that last for decades? In this heartfelt, nostalgia-filled episode, we’re joined by surprise caller Micah Solomon—a lifelong friend who’s been part of our story for more than 32 years.The conversation comes alive as Micah shares about his children chasing their dreams. His son’s move to LA to pursue music—while staying grounded in faith and even inviting new friends to church each Sunday—paints a powerful picture of marketplace ministry in action. It’s a reminder that raising children to be light in the world often means preparing them to shine outside the walls of the church.We swap stories from our shared past—like sneaking into Harold’s store at the mall for free Coca-Cola or those family dinners where extra T-bone steaks were always set aside for us. Those simple moments became the building blocks of a friendship that has stood the test of time.Micah also opens up about worship in the hard seasons: “I would demand my soul to rejoice when I don’t feel like it, because I know the Creator is in control.” That raw honesty reminds us that authentic friendships create a safe place to share our spiritual journeys without pretense.From there, the conversation drifts to technology, privacy concerns with drones, and a few Back to the Future references—proof that the best friendships flow easily between deep truths and everyday banter.And we’ve got something new in the works: the Armchair Authentic Hotline—where you can call in, share your thoughts, and be part of the conversation. Because authentic connection happens when everyone feels they belong… when everyone has a chair at the table.Let’s keep the conversation going.
