Send us Fan MailEver blamed your parents for your problems? Your grandparents? That weird uncle everyone pretends doesn't exist? Yeah... this one's for you.In this episode, Daniel and Duffy tackle one of the most misunderstood—and honestly, one of the most intimidating—verses in the Bible: Deuteronomy 5:9. Does God really punish children for the sins of their parents? Have we been teaching this passage correctly... or have we completely missed what God was actually saying?The conversation starts with a verse that has confused people for generations and ends with some eye-opening discoveries that led to genuine breakthroughs for Daniel right there on the show. Together, they unpack what happens when generations choose to follow God... and what happens when they don't. Is this about a curse? Consequences? Choice? Mercy? Maybe all of the above—but probably not in the way you've always heard.There are laughs, a few "Wait... WHAT?!" moments, and some hard truths that could completely change the way you view your family history, your future, and the character of God.If you've ever wondered whether you're doomed to repeat the mistakes of those who came before you, or if you've heard this verse quoted without ever digging into what it actually means, this episode may be exactly what you need.Because let's be honest...The sins of the father suck... but the story doesn't have to end there.Support the showCheck out what’s happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved.  www.1LoveHTX.org

Send us Fan MailThis week, Duffy and Daniel went to jail... voluntarily. 😳 Before you assume the worst, they were invited to visit the Fort Bend Juvenile Detention Center, and what they experienced behind those locked doors was eye-opening, heartbreaking, and surprisingly hopeful.From unexpected conversations to powerful moments that stuck with them long after they left, they unpack what they saw, why they felt called to go, and what it says about our responsibility to love people who are often forgotten.Of course, it wouldn't be a 1LoveHTX episode without a few laughs along the way. Between the humor and the heavy moments, the conversation takes an unexpected turn into the role family dynamics play in shaping our lives—for better or worse. What starts as a jail visit becomes a much bigger discussion about brokenness, purpose, and the ripple effects of the home we grow up in.And fair warning... this episode opens the door to a conversation that's so important, it deserves its own follow-up episode.Come for the "Wait... you guys went to jail?!" Stay for the hope, the laughs, and a conversation that just might change how you see the people behind the bars.Support the showCheck out what’s happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved.  www.1LoveHTX.org

Send us Fan MailRemember when AI was supposed to help us write emails, find pizza, and finally beat our friends at chess? Well, somewhere along the way it started writing songs, creating art, taking customer service jobs, generating social media influencers, and apparently applying for jobs better than actual humans.In this episode, Daniel and Duffy dive headfirst into the growing backlash against AI, especially among younger generations who are starting to ask some hard questions:"Wait... I just spent six figures on a degree, and now a computer can do my job?"From college graduates struggling to find careers, to musicians watching algorithms pump out songs in seconds, to social media becoming a giant game of "Real Human or Robot?"—the future is getting weird.And let's be honest... it's becoming harder every day to know what's authentic. Is that influencer real? Did that artist actually create that song? Was that article written by a person or by a machine that hasn't slept since 2022?But this isn't a doom-and-gloom episode.Daniel and Duffy tackle the bigger question: What can we do about it?How do we stay in control of technology instead of letting technology control us? How do we continue sharpening our minds when AI can instantly answer almost anything? What skills will still matter in the future? And why human creativity, critical thinking, faith, relationships, and purpose may become more valuable than ever before.The guys discuss practical ways to keep your brain engaged, challenge yourself, build skills AI can't easily replace, and avoid becoming dependent on a machine for every thought and decision.Because here's the truth:The future isn't being written by AI.It's being written by people who choose not to quit.Technology only wins if we surrender our curiosity, creativity, and determination.So get up. Learn something. Create something. Build something. Lead something.The next generation doesn't have to become victims of technology—they can become the people who shape it.The robots may be getting smarter, but humans still have the final vote.Let's go. 🔥🎙️#1LoveHTX #ArtificialIntelligence #FutureOfWork #Technology #Podcast #AI #FaithAndCulture #CriticalThinking #HumanCreativity #StayHuman #NextGeneration #DontGiveUp #BeTheChangeSupport the showCheck out what’s happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved.  www.1LoveHTX.org

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Daniel and Duffy jump headfirst into one of those conversations that can make family dinners, holiday gatherings, and Facebook comment sections a little... interesting.What happens when your friends, neighbors, coworkers, or favorite fishing buddy follow a different religion than you do? Can you still be close friends? Are Christians responsible for someone else's salvation? And how do you show the love of Jesus without becoming that guy everyone avoids at the barbecue?Then Daniel pulls out some of the biggest questions he hears from people all the time:"What about those who grew up in completely different cultures?""What about Native Americans, Muslims, Buddhists, and people who never heard the Gospel?""What would Jesus actually do in these situations?"Yep... the guys aren't tiptoeing around the shallow end. They're cannonballing straight into the deep waters.But don't worry—while the questions are serious, the conversation is packed with humor, honesty, and the kind of real talk that makes you think long after the episode ends. Expect laughs, challenging perspectives, a few moments that might make you squirm, and plenty of insight as Daniel and Duffy wrestle with some of life's biggest spiritual questions.Grab your coffee, buckle up, and join us for a conversation that's equal parts thought-provoking, faith-building, and surprisingly funny.This one might challenge what you think... and that's exactly why you should listen. 🎙️🔥Support the showCheck out what’s happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved.  www.1LoveHTX.org

Send us Fan MailToday on the 1LoveHTX Podcast, we welcome back our brother Austin Carlile — and trust us…this episode is WILD in the best way possible.From fronting the massive band Of Mice & Men, sharing stages with legends like Chester Bennington, to random moments that somehow included hanging out with Britney Spears in the club…Austin lived a life most people only see in documentaries and backstage passes.But then came the crash. Fame faded. Everything fell apart. And when we say “everything,” we mean EVERYTHING. If you haven’t heard that part of his journey yet, go check out Season 1 Episode 10 first…because this new chapter hits even harder.What happened next? Miracles. Healing. Faith. Purpose. Hope. The kind of story that reminds you God still writes comeback stories that Hollywood couldn’t script if they tried.Oh…and did we mention NEW MUSIC is coming?!This episode is funny, honest, emotional, inspiring, and full of the kind of conversations that make you laugh one minute and rethink your entire life the next. Whether you’re struggling, searching, rebuilding, or just wondering if hope still exists in today’s world — this one is for you.Hit play and come hang out with us for a conversation about music, brokenness, redemption, and the beautiful chaos of what happens when God refuses to give up on someone.Support the showCheck out what’s happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved.  www.1LoveHTX.org

Send us Fan MailDeath… yeah, we went there.It’s the one topic nobody escapes, yet most of us avoid it like that one friend who “just needs to vent” for 3 hours. Whether you’ve lost someone close, wrestled with fear of your own mortality, or just had that late-night “what happens after I die?” moment—you’re not alone.In this episode, Duffy and Daniel step straight into the uncomfortable and ask the question most people don’t: Is death actually our enemy… or could it somehow be our friend?Why do we fear death so deeply?What does grief really do to us?Why does losing someone hit harder than anything else in life?And what does the Bible actually say about death, eternity, and what comes next?With honesty, humor, and real-life perspective, we unpack the emotional weight of loss, the spiritual reality of eternity, and the tension between fear and faith. This isn’t just a deep conversation—it’s one that challenges how you see life, purpose, and what’s beyond the grave.Let’s be real—100% of people die. (Encouraging, right?)But what if understanding death could actually change how you live?If you’ve ever struggled with fear, grief, or questions about the afterlife, heaven, hell, or God’s plan—this episode is for you.It’s heavy. It’s real. It might even make you laugh in places you didn’t expect.So… is death something to fear, fight, or understand?Hit play and let’s go there.Support the showCheck out what’s happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved.  www.1LoveHTX.org

Send us Fan MailWhat if everything you thought you knew about biblical timelines… is just a little off?In this episode, Duffy and Daniel dive headfirst into one of the biggest hang-ups people have with the Bible—those crazy long timelines. Thousands of years? People living HOW long?! Yeah… we go there. But instead of brushing it off, we flip the perspective and uncover something wild: what if these timelines actually make the story more credible, not less?Think about it—when people lived for centuries, “history” wasn’t passed down through dozens of broken telephone generations. It was shared firsthand. From Adam to the generations that followed, the gap between creation and recorded accounts might be way tighter than you’ve ever imagined.And just when you think it couldn’t get any more interesting… we take a turn into the mysterious, the debated, and the “wait, science can’t explain that?”—including things like the Shroud of Turin and other head-scratching phenomena that refuse to fit neatly into a box.This episode is part deep dive, part barbershop talk, and part “did we just uncover something huge?” moment. It’s fun, it’s a little wild, and yeah… the guys definitely get stupid along the way.But underneath the laughs is a real challenge: Are you believing truth… or just repeating what you’ve been told?If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, questioned what you were taught, or just want to strengthen your faith in a real and personal way—this one’s for you.Pull up a seat, press play, and get ready to rethink timelines, rediscover truth, and see the story of Jesus in a way that hits deeper than ever.Support the showCheck out what’s happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved.  www.1LoveHTX.org

Send us Fan MailWhat do politics, social media, conspiracy theories, and your uncle’s Facebook posts all have in common? They’re all apparently training for the Olympics of Division… and gold medals are being handed out daily.Welcome to The Great Division — where it feels like every conversation is a step onto a cultural minefield. One wrong word, one hot take, one “well actually…” and BOOM 💥 — friendships shaken, families tense, comment sections in flames.In this episode, we dive headfirst (carefully… very carefully) into the reality that much of what’s happening in our world isn’t just chaotic… it’s divisive by design. Issues are being placed like landmines across our culture—politics, race, faith, identity, truth—just waiting for someone to step on them and trigger another explosion of outrage, confusion, and separation.But here’s the real question:Are we accidentally helping plant those mines ourselves?As followers of Jesus, we’re called to unity, love, and truth… yet somehow we can find ourselves arguing more than loving, posting more than praying, and reacting more than reflecting. So what does it actually look like to navigate a world wired for division without becoming part of the blast radius?Expect some laughs, some “ouch” moments, and maybe a few realizations that hit a little too close to home. Because let’s be honest… sometimes the division isn’t just out there—it’s in here.So grab your spiritual boots, watch your step, and let’s learn how to walk wisely through a world full of triggers… without losing our witness in the process.This isn’t about avoiding truth.It’s about carrying it the right way.Support the showCheck out what’s happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved.  www.1LoveHTX.org

Send us Fan MailWhat in the world happened to music?!In this wild, fun, and slightly unhinged episode of the 1LoveHTX Podcast, Daniel and Duffy take a ride through the decades—unpacking the evolution of music, culture, and some of the strangest trends we’ve all just… accepted along the way.We kick things off in the 80s—where hair was big, boundaries were blurry, and the lines between masculine and feminine got… real interesting. From subtle (and not-so-subtle) darkness in hairbands to the rise of new wave and its bold, culture-shifting expressions—we’re asking the question: was it just creativity… or something deeper?Then we slide into the 90s, where the vibe takes a hard left turn. Enter the grunge era—straight out of Seattle—bringing raw emotion, rebellion, and a heaviness that reshaped an entire generation.Fast forward to today, and things get even more intense.How has darkness found its way into hip-hop? Is the genre losing its soul—or transforming into something new? Is hip-hop on the way out… and if so, what’s next?And just when you think we’ve covered it all—we step into the future:AI-generated music vs. real, human-created art. Are we trading authenticity for convenience? Or is something deeper at stake?Oh—and don’t get too comfortable… because Duffy drops a question on Daniel that NO ONE sees coming. It’s bold, it’s raw, and it might just flip the whole conversation on its head.This episode is full of laughs, unexpected turns, deep thoughts, and moments that’ll make you stop and think about the music you love—and what it’s really saying.🎧 Press play and come hang out with us.

Send us Fan MailEveryone likes to believe our time is different. Our country is stronger. Smarter. More advanced. Surely we’ve figured out what the great empires of the past couldn’t… right?But history tells a very different story.From Rome to Babylon, the greatest civilizations in the world all believed they were untouchable—until they weren’t. Power, wealth, influence, and confidence eventually gave way to the same old patterns: corruption, violence, moral confusion, and leaders who couldn’t be trusted.Sound familiar?As we look around today, it’s hard not to notice the similarities. The chaos, the debauchery, the crooked politics, the lies… and a culture that seems convinced everything is totally fine while the wheels are clearly wobbling.But here’s the harder question: What about us as Christians?Where have we bought into the same false narratives? Where do we think we’ve got it all figured out while still making some pretty terrible decisions? Are we placing our hope in systems, leaders, and culture… when we should be turning back to God for wisdom, direction, and truth?This episode gets deep. Like “wait… are we the Romans now?” deep.Don’t worry—we’ll still keep you laughing along the way.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 126 is here—and we’re getting real.This week, Daniel and Duffy dive into the struggles and the hopes that come with becoming (and being) a Christian. Spoiler alert: it’s not all mountaintop moments and perfectly highlighted Bible verses. There are questions. There are failures. There are awkward growing pains. And yes… there are stories.Daniel shares some honest moments from his own life, along with experiences from friends who are walking this thing out, too.

But we do hope to spark some thoughtful reflection wherever you are in your journey. Whether you’re full of hope, knee-deep in mistakes, or discovering what restoration really looks like, this episode is for you.There’s laughter. There’s honesty.

And some are convinced we just downloaded the Book of Revelation.So… is AI the devil?Is Siri one software update away from summoning demons?Or is this just the next tool in humanity’s long history of figuring things out?In this episode, we wade into the wild waters of artificial intelligence—the hype, the fear, the conspiracy theories, and the very real implications. We’ve all heard the warnings: “Stay away!” “It’s evil!” “Don’t get caught up in the devil’s work!” But is that wisdom… or just panic in a Wi-Fi world?We wrestle with the bigger questions:How do we navigate technology without being consumed by it?Can we use AI without losing our humanity?What does it look like to honor God in a digital age that’s changing faster than we can update our passwords?We’re not here to fear-monger. We’re not here to baptize robots either. We’re here to think. To laugh a little. And to ask what faithfulness looks like in a world where the tools keep evolving.AI isn’t going away.

Send us Fan MailThis episode dives into one of the most misunderstood (and frequently muddied) conversations in faith circles: Demonic Possession vs. Demonic Oppression. Same enemy, very different playbooks.Can a believer in Jesus Christ be possessed? Or is oppression the real battlefield? And what does oppression actually look like when it’s not the possession spinning heads and Hollywood sound effects?As I sit down with Duffy, we unpack the confusion, the theology, and the very real experiences he’s had with both. And here’s the twist—oppression might actually be the scarier one. Why? Because it’s quiet. It’s subtle. It blends in. No flashing red warning lights… just slow, sneaky influence that hides in plain sight.We go deep, we get honest, and yes—we even laugh a little (because sometimes humor is the only way to talk about heavy things without losing your mind).This conversation might challenge what you think you know—and make you more aware of what’s happening around you (and within you).Listen in, share your thoughts, and jump into the conversation.

Send us Fan MailThis has been one of the most challenging episodes we’ve ever attempted to release.The first recording? Unusable.The second? Nearly impossible to download and convert.Spiritually, everything has tried to stop this message from getting out—which tells me one thing: you need to hear this.I (Daniel) finally sat down with a pastor I’ve known about for over 19 years but somehow never met. When Clint and I finally crossed paths, we connected fast—and about five minutes into his story, I knew this wasn’t going to be a normal conversation.Clint is not your average pastor. He’s pastored Bloods and Crips, cowboys, and suburban families. If you’re breathing, chances are Clint’s walked with someone like you. His stories are raw, hilarious, intense, and so real they can’t be polished or packaged.As we talk, the conversation takes unexpected turns—faith, grit, calling, brokenness, and the kind of God-moments that don’t usually make it onto a church stage. No fluff. No churchy clichés. Just honest stories and powerful truths that hit when you’re not ready for it.Clint is one of the most interesting humans you’ll ever hear from, and this episode is equal parts laughter, jaw-dropping moments, and that quiet realization of “wow… God really does show up like that.” Buckle up.

Send us Fan MailSome stories are so wild you’d swear they were made up… until you realize they’re straight out of real life, and in this case, the Bible too.In this episode, Daniel and Duffy trade stories that sit right at the intersection of “there’s no way” and “only God.” From intense, jaw-dropping moments they’ve personally walked through to biblical accounts that still feel unbelievable thousands of years later, this conversation is packed with humor, honesty, and a healthy dose of awe.These are crazy moments, but woven through all of it is a clear reminder of the powerful, creative, and often unexpected nature of God.The goal isn’t to sensationalize—it’s to shine a light on the wonder of God and remind us that He’s still active, still moving, and still very much involved in our lives… sometimes in ways that leave us saying, “Okay God, that one was wild.”If you’ve ever wondered whether God still shows up in big, unmistakable ways—this episode is for you.Support the showCheck out what’s happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved.  www.1LoveHTX.org

Send us Fan MailEver been cruising through your day, coffee in hand, to-do list locked and loaded—when LIFE cuts you off without signaling? Yeah… those moments. The ones we usually label as “inconvenient,” “annoying,” or “not part of the plan.”In this episode, we talk about unexpected interruptions. The kind that might actually be powerful God moments if we’re paying attention. Because let’s be honest: if you’re still on earth and breathing, God isn’t done with you yet. Not even close.I often say this is God’s playground, and we get the wild privilege of coming alongside HIM and being part of what He’s doing. The question is… are we open and aware enough to see it? Or are we so locked into our schedules, our hustle, and keeping up with the world that we miss the divine moments happening right in front of us?With Christmas just a week away, we zoom in on the greatest interruption of all time—Jesus. God stepping into humanity. Heaven crashing into earth. A Savior arriving not with fireworks and fanfare, but in humility, obedience, and love. An interruption that changed everything.Jesus didn’t just interrupt history—He left us examples on how to live, love, slow down, and notice what really matters. But do we see them? Or are we too busy checking boxes and chasing noise?This episode is lighthearted, honest, a little funny, and deeply real—an invitation to pause, pay attention, and maybe even welcome the interruptions. Because sometimes the thing that throws off your plans is the very thing God is using to change your life.

Send us Fan MailThe Bible is full of amazing messages of hope, warnings, stories of humanity, and our existence in relationship with God and each other. During our episode “Silence is Golden”, a very strange story in scripture was referenced. This particular story we discussed was about the ancient city of Jericho, but not the part of the story that is familiar.  (Jericho was over taken and literally fell to the ground because God’s people followed his direction). There is more to it….Today we are looking deeper into God’s interaction with people who don’t believe. Do you have God in a box ? Have you ever studied his character and learned more about how his absolute sovereignty? This episode is going to reveal deeper insight to the CRAZY love God has for us ALL, and the fact that he is pursuing every single person in the history of creation. You are so loved!Hopefully while you listen it will change your view of the broken souls and the way God interacts with all of us. It is a powerful picture that has the ability to change the way we share the great news of Jesus Christ. We hope you enjoy this time !Of course there is laughter too! Thanks for listening!Support the showCheck out what’s happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved.  www.1LoveHTX.org

Send us Fan MailHave you ever had a family member or close friend experience overwhelming grief or trauma? Have you ever tried desperately to say something comforting only to discover everything sounds cliche’ and does little to nothing to bring peace. It’s ok, we all struggle when people we love are struggling with loss. It is uncomfortable to be near someone who is sobbing because they have been through a life altering loss. We want to comfort but we can’t change anything. They have to process pain, and most times it a lengthy process. What are some things to think about when we find ourselves in this situation? How can we help others we know who might be in the same situation with a friend or family member and feel hopeless? Silence can be a very loving response in these heartbreaking situations. There’s a lot of wisdom in the old saying “silence is golden”. Only a few of us manage that discipline well. Hopefully today’s podcast will help us grow in that discipline. Come hang out with us and we talk thru some of our experiences and talk about other suggestions. We are so glad you joined us!

Send us Fan MailThis is an interview with Author and Speaker Matthew J. Wolak. When I was first introduced to him, I wasn’t too sure about the topic. I have had past issue with people working through father wounds. I know, sounds horrible, but I’ll explain. After speaking to Matthew prior to the interview, I was really taken back by the approach he took. It’s definitely a different spiritual approach that I can agree with and get behind. It’s such a great book and something that everyone can relate to. Sometimes we think about father wounds as just a son and dad issue, but it is definitely bigger than that. Women are affected by father wounds, and all of these tools, he speaks about can be used with many other types of wounds, to grandparents, to friends etc. We hope you enjoy this episode and grow more to understand the love of your one TRUE FATHER!!Support the showCheck out what’s happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved.  www.1LoveHTX.org

I met Jon at a cigar bar as my business partner and I were just socializing with like minded individuals. Jon wrote a book called “Rebuild! Don’t Repair”, that God told him to write. The main purpose is to help us get unstuck!!! The tools and explanations are so elementary, yet so many of us miss them…. thus missing so much freedom God intended for us.

Send us Fan Mail"Welcome back to 1LoveHTX, where we dive deep into the Bible with a whole lot of laughs and a fresh perspective! In today’s episode, we're tackling one of the most iconic stories of all time—the serpent in the Garden of Eden. We’ve all heard the tale of the sneaky snake tempting Eve, but did you know that the Hebrew text paints this creature a little differently? It's not just a snake—it’s something much shinier.Join Daniel and Duffy as they unpack why we’ve come to see the tempter as a snake and explore how other parts of the Bible are written. We’ll break down the symbolism, laugh a bit, and dive into what this story can really teach us—without the churchy stiffness. Whether you're a Bible scholar or just curious about the ancient text, this episode is sure to leave you thinking—and maybe even laughing out loud.So grab a coffee, kick back, and let’s get into it!"Support the showCheck out what’s happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved.  www.1LoveHTX.org

Send us Fan MailIn Matthew the 22nd chapter, there is a story of a great interaction with Jesus. It says “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ If we love the God with all of our heart, soul and mind, how then is it possible that we wouldn’t love others as ourselves?The Bible is full of thoughtful interactions, just like this one with Jesus and the religious people of his day. Jesus was an incredibly perfect example of God’s love for us. If we are to take him at his word, then we will grow in love for God. Then, out of that love, we will naturally love other people.  Will we do it perfectly? NO….But Jesus literally loved us to death…. His own death on the cross. Man, that is always hard to wrap our head around. Much less our heart. Millions and millions of people have been impacted by Christ death on the cross. Few have died for the cause. Join us as we discuss our own process of being a Christ follower and  what it means to love others because we love God. This is gonna be a good one.

Send us Fan MailHave you ever seen a great movie where the main character takes a chance and then something incredible develops? We all wish we had that kind of courage- to go “All-In” and put it ALL on the line. We are obsessed with these ideas in movies. We love watching it play out. Our faith in God is challenged constantly in this same way. God is constantly inviting us to trust him.  Trust his word. Receive wisdom. Get perspective that only he can give. He actually refers to it as “the Narrow path” In this episode we are discussing PRAYER, but more on a relational and conversation level with "God the Father". The simple definition of prayer is, “time spent conversing with God”. We are invited to pray over all things. Jesus gave devoted time to prayer, and miracles happened as a result. We know prayer can give fresh perspective and direction, change our hearts and give us courage. The more time we devote to the activity of prayer, the stronger we become spiritually. Come listen in on this discussion.   PRAYER- our conversation with God and spiritual practice is so misunderstood and underused. We are here to learn how to lean into it and grow stronger. Thanks for listening. Support the showCheck out what’s happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved.  www.1LoveHTX.org

Send us Fan MailDaniel has some of the most interesting conversations with people he knows and meets. This past week he was inundated with talks about the flood and the Tower of Babel. From those conversations came talks and questions he had no answers for…… but isn’t that sometimes life in Christ. Sometimes just allowing the mind to ponder the mysteries of the world are enough. Sometimes we won’t have the full answers but we can still have civil conversations. Duffy and Daniel discuss thoughts on the two stories and ultimately what we can pull from them. God is in it all, and sometimes it’s just the opportunity to flex our ponder muscles! Hope you enjoy this weeks talk!

Send us Fan MailIn the United States, we are just finishing a Presidential race that’s been historical. We aren’t interested in discussing politics directly but more as it relates to human behaviors. We always want our podcast to be a place for discussions of all kinds of topics that relate to our lives. This one can be difficult to navigate but it doesn’t have to be. The truth is, we are all affected by the political climate in the U.S. and to some degree outside our country. People have been on the edge of their seats all over the world because of what is transpiring in several different countries. Natural disasters, poverty, wars....sometimes it seems the world is on fire!!That being said, we have to talk about our hearts and devotion as Christians….. whether Democrat, Republican or Independent …..as Christians, what should it look like going forward?  The world can be uncertain at times but Jesus said, "let not your heart be troubled". Let's talk about it!Duffy and Daniel discuss some cool biblical stories that can help us understand and unify our thoughts. God must be first… and we must love our neighbor if we want to survive and even thrive in the coming years.….. glad you are here!Support the showCheck out what’s happening locally with “1LoveHTX” and ways to get involved.  www.1LoveHTX.org

Send us Fan MailAhhh…..butterflies, racing hearts and hope for the future. *Insert sappy love song here*Do you remember your first love? Untouched by cynicism and the hurts of life. True love makes us want to go above and beyond to show how much we care; giving our attention to the relationship so it  flourishes! Oh the dreams we had…Reality often ruins these innocent moments. People fail us, and we fail them in return. Life is hard. Relationships can develop into obligations if we don’t make them priorities. Our relationship with God is very similar. Salvation is incredible! It’s the greatest miracle. Finally, having our eyes opened to the freedom the relationship with Jesus brings is amazing!!We have promises in scripture for new life and hope. It’s exciting!!!!Time can take its toll. Life can become routine and our relationship in Christ dulls. God is faithful and he never changes. We stray away but he calls us back to himself time and time again!! Don’t miss that….. HE never stops chasing His bride….
