Welcome to Episode 97 of 2414! In this 10th installment of the Vibrant Conversations Deck series, Pastor Dan and Shane are back—just the two of them—for a hilarious, heartfelt, and hunger-inducing episode.

They dive into everything from home buying stress to the theology of knocking on wood, from Outburst games on human sacrifice (yes, really) to Wits & Wagers trivia on Oprah and cable channels. But the highlight? A single card from the deck:
"What’s one adventurous thing you’ve eaten? Share about the meal."

What follows is a food storytelling marathon that ranges from fermented shark in Iceland to cat food in college, with pit stops for burrito burgers, Wagyu, wasabi edamame, and even hot chocolate floats. Through humor and humility, the conversation reveals how even meals can carry meaning—and how the weirdest foods can lead to the richest stories.

In this episode of 2414, Pastor Dan, Shane, and Vicar Dave dive into another round of the Vibrant Conversations Deck—and things get hilariously weird and surprisingly deep. From a “would you rather” debate between climbing Everest or diving in a submersible, to playing a statistical guessing game (spoiler: puffins are shockingly plentiful), this episode is full of laughs, humility, and unexpected spiritual depth.

The heart of the episode? A vulnerable, reflective discussion prompted by the Seven of Hearts:

1. What do you like about yourself?

2. What do you wish were different?

3. How does God feel about you?

In typical 2414 fashion, this candid conversation meanders through ministry struggles, personal highs and lows, and the comforting truth that God walks with us through it all. Whether you’re processing faith, identity, or just want a good laugh about robotic therapists and extinct rhinos, this episode has something for you.

In this episode, Pastor Dan and Shane sit down for a meaningful conversation about the faithfulness of God—how it shows up in everyday life, how we can trust His promises even when things don’t go according to plan, and how Scripture shapes that trust. It’s a reflection rooted in grace, centered on Christ, and honest about the ups and downs we all face.

This week’s discussion is sparked by The Vibrant Conversations Deck, which invites us to share how we’ve experienced God keeping His word—even when walking through the valley of the shadow of death, knowing Jesus is right there with us (Psalm 23).

We also start the episode with a lighthearted round of Wits and Wagers, just to get the wheels turning and the laughs rolling.

Whether you’re riding high or walking through something tough, this conversation is a reminder that God doesn’t change—and He keeps His Word.
