We've all been there: Yep, we're talking about those moments where you feel completely burned out and just generally over it all. No matter how you categorize or label it--i.e., spiritual exhaustion, burnout, disillusionment, etc.--the symptoms are pretty much the same: A sense of discouragement, feeling jaded, battling an attitude of indifference, and other spiritual or emotional maladies that can really hinder our progress. While it's normal to experience these feelings every now and then, we have to be vigilant in terms of not letting them take root in our minds or hearts, as they can ultimately derail our journey with God over time.

📖 In this episode, David, Phil, & John explore several scriptures that address this very issue, which is proof positive that these types of feelings and temptations were just as common to the believers back then as they are to us now. So let's take heart in the encouragements and rock-solid principles offered by God's Word in regard to battling disillusionment and burnout. Make sure to grab your Bible and a good cup of brew (coffee or tea), and join us as we dig into the Word to discover these awesome spiritual treasures!

🙏 Thanks for watching Bible, Bros & Brew! We’re glad you’re here. This is where faith meets real talk — with Scripture, conversation, and a good cup of coffee. Each week, we dig into what it means to follow Jesus in real life — no fluff, no filters.

Has church hurt affected how you think of God? As much as we might not like to admit it, this is one of the unfortunate effects that can occur when we've been hurt, mistreated, or offended by other members of the Body of Christ. While it's inevitable that offenses will happen (Jesus even told us so in Matthew 18:7), we must be careful to not allow those offenses to affect us to the point where we develop a root of bitterness in our hearts. In this episode, David, Phil, & John discuss the domino effect that church hurt can cause, and they share some key tips to help believers stay the course when offense and hurt tempt us to do otherwise. So grab your Bible and brew up your favorite cup of coffee (or tea), and join us as we dig into the Word together!

Tired. Jaded. “Over it.” If that’s you, you’re not broken—you’re honest. We kick off the year by naming the quiet burnout so many feel and tracing its roots through Scripture and real life: economic pressure, political noise, curated timelines, and the slow grind of unmet expectations. From Proverbs’ “hope deferred makes the heart sick” to Ecclesiastes’ raw diagnosis of meaninglessness, we unpack why so much striving leaves us empty and how God meets us right there.

We get practical about the traps that steal joy—unspoken expectations in marriages and teams, social media pretense, and the lure of quick fixes that never satisfy. Then we turn to a better path. Ecclesiastes lands on a bracing conclusion: fear God and keep His commands. We explore what reverence really means, why obedience is protective rather than punitive, and how aligning with God’s design restores clarity, courage, and hope. Truth isn’t just an idea to agree with; truth is a Person who sets us free. When we return to Him, even hard paths can overflow with goodness.

Along the way, we share honest stories, ask hard questions, and offer next steps to rebuild a hopeful life: reset expectations, reengage Scripture, seek wise community, and practice awe. If you’re disillusioned by the grind or haunted by comparisons, this conversation invites you to trade pretense for presence and hype for holiness. The world will keep changing. God will not. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs courage today, and tell us: where do you most need hope to rise?

As we've journeyed through the scriptures regarding the importance of being grateful, a thought-provoking idea has emerged: Is there a difference between gratitude and thanksgiving? Armed with the Bible and a healthy supply of coffee, David & Phil tackle this intriguing question, and the discoveries they've made are definitely worth further study. Using key verses from the Old and New Testaments, the bros offer this thesis: Gratitude is an attitude of the heart based on an inward acknowledgement and appreciation of who God is and what He's done, whereas thanksgiving is the outward expression of gratefulness to God for all that the heart experiences. So grab your Bible and your favorite cup of java or tea, and join us as we explore the life-changing power of gratefulness!

In Psalm 50:14, the Bible encourages us to give God an offering of thanksgiving, which is explained in practical terms as the "fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name" (Hebrews 13:15). Scripture is replete with these types of encouragements, and if we're wise enough take heed to them, we'll discover of the most powerful forms of fellowship with God that exists. In this episode, David and Phil continue exploring the themes of thankfulness and gratefulness, particularly in light of the transformative power that can be unlocked when gratitude becomes a daily disposition of mind. So grab your Bible and your favorite brewed beverage, and join us as we dig into the Word together to unveil the power of practicing gratefulness!

In life, we can always find something to complain about, but how about redirecting your focus toward finding things to be grateful for? That's what this episode is all about. With a healthy dose of java on hand, David & Phil explore the scriptures to tackle the topic of being grateful, an underrated practice in a culture where negativity, complaining, and entitlement are pervasive. Not only can gratefulness keep you from spiraling into a negative "feedback loop" of only seeing the bad side of things, but it can also open doors for God to bring additional goodness and blessings into your life. So grab your Bible, your favorite cup of java or tea, and join us as we dig into the Word together!

As we’ve journeyed through our series on pride and humility, a powerful, often-overlooked theme has emerged: repentance. What does the Bible really mean when it calls us to repent? And why is repentance inseparable from true humility?
Simply put, repentance is the decision to turn around — to walk away from thoughts, habits, and actions that pull us away from God. It’s humility in motion. When you see yourself clearly before God, repentance is the step that transforms clarity into spiritual growth.
In this episode of Bible Bros & Brew, David & Phil dig deep into the scriptures to uncover:
What repentance truly means in the Bible
Why humility, submission, and repentance work together
Why pride blinds us to our real condition
The connection between motives and unanswered prayer (James 4)
How God restores those who humble themselves (2 Chronicles 7:14)
Why repentance isn’t just “feeling sorry,” but turning toward a new direction
Whether you’ve struggled with recurring sin, discouragement, or feeling stuck spiritually, this conversation brings fresh clarity and encouragement.
So brew up your favorite coffee or tea, grab your Bible and notebook, and join us as we explore God’s Word together!
