Pulpit to the Pew

Send us Fan MailSomething about a long weekend makes every conversation wander, and we let it. We start with Labor Day banter, school starting, and the age-old debate about whether a full moon changes people, then we jump into a hospital story that still feels like a jump scare. From there, the ADHD podcast energy takes over in the best way: national-day trivia, food talk, and the kind of side quests that somehow circle back to real life. The heart of the conversation is music, faith, and authenticity. We talk about Grandma Moses starting her art career at 78, then use that as a springboard into what happens when we label someone a “Christian artist” and assume we know their story. We get honest about the gap between marketing and character, why some songs feel like they belong in church and others don’t, and the moment when someone says, “It’s Christian,” and you instantly know the vibe is complicated. We also swap stories from church spaces and church work, including the reality of loud jobsite playlists inside a sanctuary, plus a long ride through southern gospel nostalgia, choir music, and the records that raised us. If you’re a musician, we dig into the number system, timing, and learning by ear, including one of our favorite memories: getting thrown onto drums at altar call with no lessons and surviving it. If any of this sounds like your kind of friendly chaos, subscribe, share the episode with a friend who loves church music debates, and leave a review so more people can find us.Support the show

Send us Fan MailGravy wrestling is somehow a real event, and it becomes our doorway into a much heavier conversation about the world we are living in. We start with updates from our church building push, the deadlines, and the feeling that time is flying, then we laugh our way through odd “national holidays” before things turn serious.We talk candidly about mental health, postpartum depression, and the way public stories get framed online. Postpartum depression is absolutely real, and we say that plainly, but we also wrestle with the difference between a mental break and actions that look planned. From there we zoom out to the mental health system in the United States: quick prescriptions, shaky diagnosis, side effects, and what happens when people do not have trustworthy accountability. We also touch on veterans and PTSD, and why asking for help can feel harder than suffering in silence.The most practical part of the conversation is what we see at street level: homelessness, people who truly need help, people who keep repeating the same story, and how a church tries to respond with compassion and discernment. We even discuss rehabilitation and criminal justice, including Norway’s prison model, while still being honest about consequences for serious harm. Then we end on a lighter note with another wild tradition: chasing a cheese wheel down a cliff.If you enjoy honest Christian conversation that can be funny and still go deep, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review.

Send us Fan MailPop-Tarts don’t frost to the edge, Hot Pockets are basically solar-powered, and somehow Taco Bell breakfast keeps winning arguments. We sit down as friends and hosts to chase a simple topic, food, into a surprisingly revealing conversation about taste, nostalgia, and the tiny preferences that make people wildly different.We bounce through fast food breakfast picks like Dunkin, Starbucks, Burger King, and the Breakfast Crunchwrap, then detour into public school cafeteria memories that include tragic hash browns, rectangle pizza, and the vending machine era. From there, it’s all snack philosophy: why the frosting border on a Pop-Tart feels like a personal insult, how people “save the best bite,” and why some foods are worth it even when they hurt.Then we go bigger and more specific: Mexican vs Chinese food, Tex-Mex tortillas, salsa and queso opinions, Chinese buffet strategy, and the strange phenomenon of feeling stuffed and hungry again an hour later. We also get into death row meal fantasies, pizza loyalty, and steak talk that actually helps, including steak temperature preferences, ribeye vs filet, what Wagyu texture is like, and why some steakhouses disappoint.We close with the weirdest foods we’ve tried, including escargot and kangaroo jerky, plus a seafood story that proves you can love shrimp and still eat it the wrong way.

Send us Fan MailWatching church clips go viral can be entertaining until you realize what’s being traded away for views. We sit down as Brother Shawn Brumfield with Brother Jonathan Mitchell and Brother Nathan Bellows and talk candidly about social media trends that turn Pentecostal worship into a punchline, including “bouncy dress” videos and content that crosses into mocking the Holy Spirit. We dig into why modesty and reverence still matter, especially when Christian music and Christian language are used as a backdrop for something that does not reflect Christ at all. From there, we step into the question a lot of believers quietly wrestle with: how do you explain Pentecostal worship to someone who has never seen speaking in tongues, interpretation, shouting, and altar prayer? We share personal stories about inviting unchurched friends, the fear of being misunderstood, and the surprising way God uses what outsiders call “weird” to bring conviction and reveal His presence. If you’ve ever hesitated to invite someone because you don’t know how they’ll react, this conversation is for you. We also address discernment in modern Christianity, where “I’m a Christian” can become a marketing tag that opens new audiences while preaching a contradictory message. We talk repentance, the lie hidden in “come as you are and stay as you are,” and why real salvation produces real change over time. We wrap with a practical lens on discipleship: catch them, then let God clean them, because holiness grows out of relationship, not pressure. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s asking hard questions, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.Support the show

Send us Fan MailA presidential pardon plus a personal “diary” plus 111 Fifth Amendment answers is the kind of combo that makes people stop trusting everything they are told. We jump into the latest claims around Dr. Fauci, why someone would keep written records in the first place, and why the hearing optics matter even when legal technicalities get messy. We also talk about Congress, attorneys trying to speak for witnesses, and why public accountability feels impossible when money and power sit behind closed doors.From there, we pull back to the bigger picture: American politics as a spectacle, leaders staying in office for decades, and what it does to a country when citizens feel mocked instead of represented. We connect that frustration to the internet, media pressure, and the way people can turn brutal when there is no real accountability. That flows into parenting, consequences, and how “gentle” approaches can accidentally raise adults who expect boundaries to bend for them.We close with a practical, real-world thread on prisons, cycles of poverty, and the constant argument between personal responsibility and broken systems. Then we hit socialism and government-run solutions, healthcare profit incentives, and why insurance and hospital billing can feel like a rigged maze. Stick around for the palate cleanser too: our word of the day “wittershins” and a run of driver’s ed stories that somehow say a lot about life.

Send us Fan MailA Mountain Dew falls into a porta potty and one man makes a choice that costs him eight hours of his life. That headline sets the tone for a wildly honest hangout where we laugh hard, argue about food like it matters, and somehow stumble into real lessons about boundaries, wisdom, and friendship. We introduce a new cast member, Brother Nathan Bellows, and immediately get into the kinds of debates you only have with people you trust: Waffle House loyalty, the legendary Waffle House weather index, and whether White Castle is worth planning your next 24 hours around. From there we hit ramen noodle survival stories, “real ramen” vs packet noodles, and the seaweed moment that sounds like spinach until it absolutely does not. Then we pivot into job-site life and the grossest question on record: what would you actually go after if it fell into a porta potty? Alongside the laughs, we talk dirty soda trends, vanilla Coke nostalgia, and the reality of trying to quit pop with sparkling water. Finally, we settle nothing about Oreos, cookies, and buttermilk, but we do end with a word of the day that might just stick. If you enjoy a Christian podcast that feels like real conversation with church friends, hit subscribe, share this with someone who loves food debates, and leave a review.

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to another episode of Pulpit to the Pew!This week, Brother Ryan, Brother Jonathan, and I dive into the art of sarcasm. Is there a right way to use it?
