Stories That Shaped Us
This week the boys talk about the twists and turns that quietly shape a life—those ordinary days, hard seasons, and “I might’ve just made a mistake” moments that end up changing everything. Instead of walking through a sermon series or a big theological topic, they swap personal stories: Brock’s...

Navigating Sexuality with Your Kids
In this episode, the boys dive straight into God, sex, and parenting. They answer the question a lot of parents are asking during the God & Sexuality series: *When should I start talking to my kids about this, and how do I do it without freaking them (or myself) out?* Their core argument is…

Navigating Singleness
This week the boys tackle singleness in the Christian life head-on. They argue that Western church culture often idolizes marriage and family, which sidelines singles and treats singleness as a deficiency. In contrast, the New Testament—highlighting Jesus and Paul—presents singleness as a...
-
Navigating the False Religion of Sex
This week, the boys are back to God & Sexuality and tackled the heavy but super relevant topic of God and sexuality. They dug into how brain science backs up scripture, breaking down how men release vasopressin and women release oxytocin during sex—chemicals designed to bond two people together....
-
Navigating Grief with Partisan vs. Kingdom Thinking
This week, the boys stepped away briefly from their ongoing series on God & Sexuality to address the cultural moment following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. They noted how responses to the tragedy quickly became partisan, with people either vilifying or elevating him entirely based on...
-
Navigating Sexuality: Are We Animals or Angels?
The boys are back and this week, they dive into the launch of a new series called “God & Sexuality.” Mark, Brock, and Josh set the tone by contrasting how secular culture and church culture have historically approached sex. On one side, the wider world often treats sexuality as animal...
-
What If the Garden Was Just the Beginning?
The boys dive into different takes on the Garden of Eden, questioning the usual idea that it was a perfect, death-free paradise and instead seeing it as more of a work-in-progress. They get into how humans were meant to team up with God to expand the goodness of creation rather than just exist in…
more -
Rest Is Resistance
Everything feels crazy right now. Politics are a mess, people are more divided than ever, and it’s just pure chaos. No one’s willing to meet in the middle anymore, and it’s all just reactionary, fear-driven nonsense. The boys bring in a different perspective—what if the real antidote to all this...
-
Bringing Heaven Down to Earth
The boys talk was about shifting our mindset from a “get out of here and go to heaven” mentality to realizing that God called His creation—this world, our bodies, everything—good. They went deep into how an old belief called Gnosticism crept into the church, making people think the physical world...
-
The Cosmic Temple
The boys take another dive deep into Genesis 1, reframing it as a "cosmic temple" where God creates the world as His dwelling place. The discussion connects this idea to ancient cultures, biblical parallels, and the overarching narrative of the Bible—how God’s presence was meant to fill the…
more -
Who Are We? Rediscovering Humanity Through Genesis
The boys focus on "The Image of God," exploring its meaning in Genesis and its profound impact on human identity. Their discussion highlights how humans often define themselves by their roles, abilities, or societal labels, which can lead to identity crises when those aspects change. Instead…
more -
Chaos, Creation, and Cosmic Conversations
The boys unpack how ancient creation myths, like those of Babylon and Egypt, influenced perceptions of the Genesis account in the Bible. They highlight the contrasts, such as Genesis’ depiction of creation as intentional and peaceful, unlike the chaotic cosmic battles of other myths. They…
more -
Six Days, Seven Theories, and Infinite Wonder
The boys dive deep into the fascinating conversation around Genesis and the origins of creation. They explore diverse interpretations of the creation story, from literal six-day creationism to old-earth theories, theistic evolution, and even the poetic "God's Temple" view. With wit and wisdom…

After Hours LIVE!
After Hours was LIVE and it was pure vibes! The boys kicked it off with laughs, cheers, and a crowd ready for some fun. Highlights includ Gary dropping wisdom on the booming non-alcoholic brew scene (shout-out to Corona's NA option with lime!), and Genevieve sharing powerful testimonies of...
-
Building Bridges in Modern Church Life
In this episode, the conversation transitions into a discussion about modern church practices like table-centered fellowship. The guys explore the value of creating smaller, relational connections within the church to combat isolation and loneliness in today's society. They emphasize the…
more -
Heart Attack and Death
In this episode, Brock drops some serious heat when he shares about his near-death experience. This led to a deep discussion about how fragile life is and the importance of living intentionally. The guys unpack how we often take life for granted, get bogged down by the everyday grind, and don’t...
-
Quick to Listen & Slow to Speak
We dive deep into the big question: who’s taking the White House? We had a mix of predictions, but more importantly, we dug into how we, as believers, should approach these heated political times. The takeaway? Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and let love guide our conversations, especially…
more -
Love Your Enemies
In this episode, we explore the challenge of loving those we disagree with, especially in a divisive political climate. Jesus calls us to love our enemies, a command that’s tough to live out when the world pushes us towards hostility and division. We share personal stories and emphasized that…
more -
Jesus: The Bridge Between Red and Blue
In episode 2, the boys discuss how Jesus brought together people with wildly different political views, like Matthew the tax collector and Simon the Zealot, to follow Him. The takeaway? Unity doesn’t mean we all have to agree on everything—it's about rallying around Jesus as our common cause. And...
-
Politics as the New Religion
The boys are back in town and we’re starting things off with a bang! In Season 3, we introduce the new topic: The Church, Culture, and Politics. We begin to explore the new religion in America - the worship of politics and political parties. Cheers! Have any questions? We would love to hear from...
-
How We Fight
Concluding Season 2, we end with how to practically go on the 'offensive' and fight in this spiritual war. Rather than fighting like the world, we anchor ourselves in the armor of God the Apostle Paul talks about in Ephesians 6. Have any questions? We would love to hear from you! Please email…
more -
The Demonic
Whenever you talk about spiritual warfare, there's no way to avoid the topic of the demonic. In Episode 5, the guys do just that, addressing 3 main questions: (1) Can Christians be demon-possessed? (2) How do demons influence us? (3) Can we cast out demons today? Have any questions? We would love...
-
The 3 Enemies & Their Weapon
It isn't just that Satan is our enemy, but he also works in and through two other "enemies" to wage war on our world. In this episode, we look at what the ancient monastics called the three enemies of our soul - a false Trinity if you will: The Devil, the World, and the Flesh. After describing…
more -
Living Between D-Day and VE-Day
The trio is back in town and ready talk about ...World War II. Huh? What does WW2 (in particular D-Day and VE-Day) have to do with spiritual warfare and Jesus decisively beating Satan in his life, death, and resurrection? Tune in to find out! Have any questions? We would love to hear from you!...
-
Three Spiritual Rebellions
The crew is back for Episode 2 and tackles a topic foreign to many Christians – the Divine Council. All throughout the Old Testament, we see God working with his "spiritual task force". And surprisingly, in the Bible's first book (Genesis), in just the first 11 chapters we learn of 3 separate...

The Modern World, the Demonic, and the American Dream
Season 2 is here! Not only do we have a new guest, the 'Mama of The Bridge' – Rachel Lohman! But we also head into a new topic – all things spiritual warfare. Supplementing our God at War sermon series introduction, all 3 hosts share their background and theological journey with spiritual…

-
Revelation: Part 10
It's time for Millennium madness! Tons of theological systems have been built on The Millennium, referring to the 1,000-year reign of Christ mentioned in Revelation 20:3. Traditionally, the exact timing of what is meant by the Millennium is debated between three viewpoints: Premillennialism,...
-
Revelation: Part 9
In Episode 9, Pastors Mark and Brock, along with the ever-wise Josh, discuss the rapture! Both Mark and Brock grew up believing in the rapture, but now don’t. Why? What happened? Is the rapture even in the book of Revelation? What about Luke 17:34-35/Matthew 24 and 1 Thessalonians 4:17? Why do so...
-
Revelation: Part 8
After a short hiatus, the boys are back! Holding nothing back, they cover the infamous topic of all things judgement in Revelation. Asking, what is the proper way to frame judgment in this apocalyptic book? Is judgement a good thing or a bad thing in the Bible? Is Jesus a bloodthirsty vindictive...
-
Revelation: Part 7
n Episode 7, Pastor Dan joins the guys today for a great conversation about all things Revelation. They talk about the Dragon, the mark of the beast, 666, and they discuss who ultimately has our allegiance. Have any questions? We would love to hear from you! Please email your questions to...
-
Revelation: Part 6
In Episode 6, the legendary Josh joins Brock and Mark again! They breakdown arguably the core theme of Revelation 5 where John expects to see a ruling lion but instead witnesses a slaughtered lamb in the center of God’s throne. Really, a slaughtered lamb instead of a strong ferocious lion?! And...
-
Revelation: Part 5
In Episode 5, Mark and Brock cover Revelation, asking “When in Rome?” But seriously, not only does John receive a majestic vision of God’s heavenly throne room, but it’s also at the same time a subversive knock on the Roman Imperial Cult. The 7 Churches in Asia Minor were surrounded daily with...
-
Revelation: Part 4
In Episode 4, Mark and Brock dig into chapters 2 & 3 of Revelation seeking to understand the cultural setting of the seven churches that Revelation was written to. Why was eating meat sacrificed to idols such a controversial act for the early church? And most importantly, what does this have to…
more -
Revelation: Part 3
In Episode 3, Mark and Brock continue with their bad jokes and banter while digging into Revelation 1. They discuss the rich symbolism of the risen Jesus' description given in John's first vision, asking what effect would this exalted vision of Jesus have had on the original listeners in 1st...
-
Revelation: Part 2
In this episode, Mark and Brock start off by asking what they would do if they rolled up to an intersection and Taylor Swift was right next to them in a convertible. Afterwards, they move to the far more pressing discussion of how to read Revelation. Asking what is the book’s genre? What are the...
-
Revelation: Part 1
To kick-off Episode 1, Pastors Mark Lohman and Brock Morgan share their own upbringings and perspectives on the book of Revelation. Like many, they were either taught that Revelation was a predictive code to decipher, or a just a really bizarre book that's hard to interpret and easier to avoid....
