Self Improvement culture.
What if loving yourself isn’t another self-improvement project? Sometimes growth isn’t about constantly fixing, changing, or becoming better. Sometimes it’s learning to value the person you already are.

To Turn Around
Hey ya'll! The first thing that comes to my mind, when I have a trailer, is where am I going to turn this around. Bump In The Road Turn Around

He's Around Here Somewhere.
Many things going on this week. Tragic loss and viral moments for people I know. Let's pray.

Packaging
I recently watched a Christian church and a Wiccan group trying to reach new people, and one thing stood out: both had a message, but they packaged that message very differently. The truth of the gospel never changes, but the way we present it can either invite people in or push them away. Good...

Fight Like A Bug.
Don't ever ever give up!

The Six Foot Killer Duck
As kids, we invent monsters in the woods and laugh about them in the daylight. But when the sun goes down, even the stories we know are fake can suddenly feel real. This episode is about imagination, fear, and how the human mind has a way of turning simple stories into something that follows us...
-
You Ain't Hurt!
I had a coach who used to say, “You ain’t hurt, sucka! Get up!” Whenever we asked why he didn’t think someone was injured, he’d say, “Because I don’t hear anybody crying out.” As funny and tough as that sounded back then, there’s truth hidden in it. In life, many people keep playing hurt without...
-
The Testimony Services
I remember having spur-of-the-moment testimony services at church, and sometimes the testimonies went a little long and off the rails. Thankfully, now we have Facebook for all that.
-
Winning Being Last
The story of Frank Buckles reminds us that being last isn’t always a loss. Sometimes endurance becomes the testimony. In a world obsessed with being first, his life shows that time can become our greatest ally — shaping wisdom, preserving stories, and proving that lasting through the years still...
-
It Wasn't Oil Can Boyd's Fault
If we aren't safe we can wrongfully judge and blame people after one bad outting. Or in this case one bad inning.
-
Morning Is Coming!
Your not so big and bad in the light, eh?
-
Doing The Busy Work
“Look busy” sounded like a trick—but it became a discipline. Staying engaged made the day move faster, built real skills, and taught me how to work with patience instead of just waiting on the clock. Sometimes the smallest habits shape the strongest confidence.
-
God Counts The Hard Days
Some days feel invisible—the quiet battles, the long nights, the effort no one else sees. But nothing is wasted; God counts the hard days, and every tear, every step, every moment of endurance matters to Him. This episode is a reminder that even when life feels unnoticed, Heaven is paying close...

Finally Making It Home
When a solider finally makes it back home. Edwin E. Ross Edwin E Ross Grave News Coverage
-
Fifty-Five Dollar Hotel Room
There’s nothing wrong with something simple—just don’t call it something it’s not. A cheap hotel only disappoints when it pretends to be luxury… and people are no different. In this episode, we talk about honesty, identity, and the freedom that comes with being exactly who you are.
-
Catching Up With The Bad
On the road all day. Recording in a Motel 6. Chasing the bad. Help me ya'll!
-
The Racing Mind
Your mind can replay the past, wrestle with the present, and race ahead into the future—all in seconds. But what if that’s not a flaw? What if it’s a glimpse of how we were designed to think? In this episode, we explore how our wandering minds may reflect the mind of Christ—and how to bring every...
-
He Won't Be Your King
Never let anyone force you into becoming their king. Stay humble.
-
A New Pain
Whether it’s an old wound we ignored or a new one we didn’t expect, the truth is the same: pain has a way of getting our attention. In this episode, we talk about the hurts we didn’t see coming, and how God meets us right in the middle of them—offering healing we didn’t even know we needed.

Monday Rant
AI taking over Baseball?

We Are The Product
We aren't buying products, WE are the products.
-
Taken?
What if some disappearances aren’t tragedies—but mysteries we were never meant to solve? What if, in rare moments, God simply calls someone home in a way that defies explanation?
-
Where My Dad Liked To Fish
My dad never fished the easy spots. He’d go where it was harder to reach—down rough paths, through thick brush, into places most people didn’t bother with. And almost every time, that’s where the fish were. Fewer people. Less pressure. More reward. Spiritually, it’s not much different.

I Got Crop-Dusted
Yep. I ogt crop-dusted. Whitfield Cemetery Sonny Boy Williamson II Bye Bye Bird

The Little Pond
“My dad had a pond smaller than half an acre… but somehow the bass in that little pond got huge. Turns out… it wasn’t the size of the pond… it was what they were being fed. And I started wondering… what in my life is growing… just because I keep feeding it?”

Happy Monday
My first morning pod episode. After the storm.

Are We There Yet?
When my son was 9, I gave him a GPS so he could see exactly how long it would take for us to get home. It finally answered the age-old kid question: “Are we there yet?” Watching that countdown made me realize something about us as adults. We may not be sitting in the backseat anymore, but we…

Life Is Kinda Like Ebay
If it were possible, we’d list them online with a description like: “Used, slightly damaged. Hoping someone else can take this off my hands.” But life doesn’t really work that way. You can’t auction off the parts of your story you don’t like. The truth is, those parts often become the most…

"Act Right: Two Words That Built Character”
When I was growing up, my parents had a simple phrase they used when I started getting out of line: “Act right.” They didn’t explain it, define it, or give a long speech. But somehow I knew exactly what they meant. In this episode of This Awkward Life, Eric reflects on how two simple words…

Stubborn Enough to Win”
Consistency sounds noble. Stubbornness sounds negative. But the line between them? It’s razor thin.

“Don’t Withhold the Good”
We talk a lot about big moments — big blessings, big breakthroughs, big generosity. But what about the small good that’s already in your hand? In Proverbs 3:27, we’re told not to withhold good when it’s in our power to act. That means encouragement when someone needs it. Payment when it’s owed....
-
"In Appreciation For The One That Stayed"
We’ve demonized him because his pain makes us uncomfortable. His obedience didn’t explode outward like rebellion; it collapsed inward into resentment. And honestly, that hits close to home for a lot of faithful people. Here’s the quiet truth: Faithfulness without affirmation can turn into...
-
Unassuming Strong
Rock climbers carry a kind of strength you don’t notice at first—quiet, disciplined, and tested under pressure. This episode reflects on how real strength is often built in unseen places, formed through patience, endurance, and trust. The kind of strength that doesn’t show off, but holds fast…

The Danger of Almost
We’ve all met them—and if we’re honest, we’ve been them. Half-finished conversations. Almost-there relationships. People with so much potential, but nothing ever quite completed. In this episode, I talk about why a full, imperfect rough draft is better than a perfect fragment—and how that idea...

Rambling to keep the streak alive
Yep one of those nights. I had a idea but it couldn't compare to the sermon Pastor preached tonight. Hunger

"The Speck That Stole My Focus”
A tiny speck in your eye can bring everything to a halt. It steals your focus, blurs your vision, and makes you desperate for relief. In this episode, we use that familiar irritation as a mirror for the spiritual life. How often do small offenses, worries, habits, or distractions hijack our...

Closing Early
We lost a great man today. Mr. Brent Comans died in his sleep. He was always kind to me and was loved by so many. He always closed his shop early on Wednesdays and I always admired that.

“Formed Against Me, Used for Me”
The Bible promises that no weapon formed against us shall prosper—but it never says the weapon won’t be formed. In this episode, we sit in that uncomfortable middle space: the pressure, the attack, the thing that showed up uninvited and tried to take us out. What if the very weapon meant to…
