“We’re Just Serious” 😂 | Hallmark Fails, High School Hoops Debates & Ephesians 2:10 Explained

from Build Different · host Danny Woodhead & Paul Lanphier

Are we “two normal guys”… or just serious? 😂 In this episode, we debate high school basketball glory days, invent a Hallmark card business guaranteed to get cancelled, and consider handing affirmation cards to Nebraska basketball players before tip-off (what could go wrong?). From “boxy one” defenses to getting “caught by laughter,” the word salads are flying.But then we pivot.In one of our most meaningful conversations yet, we unpack Ephesians 2:10 — what it means to be God’s handiwork, created with purpose, and why true freedom isn’t independence… it’s dependence. If you’ve ever wrestled with calling, anxiety, identity, or wondering if you’re “on track” with God’s will, this one’s for you.You were built different.
