Dusty and Andrew sit down with dating couple Maeryn Coonce and Gatlin Gunn for an honest, hilarious conversation about relationships, marriage, and faith.

In this episode, we dive into the gap between marriage expectations and reality—from Bible studies together to figuring out who does the cooking and cleaning. Andrew shares what surprised him most about married life (spoiler: it's not what you think), while the hosts discuss how living together 24/7 changes everything.

Maeryn opens up about her podcast "The Reason" on Spotify and how God called her to start it. She and Gatlin share their journey of staying pure while dating, their dreams of traveling and going on mission to Africa, and how their completely different upbringings have shaped their view of marriage.

The conversation covers everything from the importance of marrying your best friend to finding hobbies you enjoy together (even if that's watching your partner play Minecraft while you crochet). Plus, plenty of hilarious tangents including Gatlin making a fishing line out of yarn and a hot dog, and why he still needs his dad's permission to download apps.

In this episode of The Bible Belt Bros Podcast, Emma joins Andrew and Dusty to share all about her summer internship at a church in Virginia. She opens up about her calling into children’s ministry—while somehow ending up in a youth ministry internship instead. The trio dives into what it was like for her to experience a much larger church, the lessons she learned, and how it shaped her faith and future.

Meanwhile, Dusty has his own revelation: interns actually get paid now. This leads to a nostalgic detour about his glory days working at a video store—before Emma was even born. Classic Dusty humor (and awkward timing) strikes again when one of his stories nearly causes Emma to choke on her coffee mid-laugh.

It’s an episode packed with laughs, generational gaps, and a few heartfelt moments about calling, ministry, and growing up in faith—Bible Belt Bros style.

In this episode of The Bible Belt Bros Podcast, Andrew confesses to having a little spiritual FOMO after watching his church team jet off to Peru for a mission trip. Should he have gone too? Dusty jumps in with some throwback stories from his youth pastor days, revealing how they’d sometimes strategically use FOMO to get teens to show up—with their Bibles, their friends, and maybe even some actual excitement for church.

The guys unpack how FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) can sometimes be a good thing—especially when it pushes us toward better spiritual habits like prayer, reading Scripture, or getting plugged into community.

It’s a lighthearted, honest, and slightly sarcastic look at what it means to feel “left out” in faith—and how maybe, just maybe, God can use that feeling to pull us closer to Him.
