Why are men checking out of church? On this episode, Pastor Eric and Pastor Natalie get honest about a hard truth — the way church has been packaged (the tone, the music, the vibe) has quietly pushed men to the sidelines.

Eric shares his own story of feeling like a "buried talent" — used up and neglected in a church plant that nearly broke him. Natalie unpacks what it looks like for a wife to steward her marriage well, and how couples navigate the order of loves — God, spouse, family, church — without losing themselves in the process.

Plus: a sweet story about an older guy proving love doesn't have an age limit.

If you're a woman married to a man who's checked out of church, or a man who's felt like church wasn't built for you — this one's for you.

This week on It's Monday, Eric and Natalie get real about something most Christians struggle with: actually sharing their faith.

Coming off Pastor Isaac's message "My Father's Eyes," they dig into why so many of us go quiet when it comes to talking about Jesus — is it politeness? Fear of rejection? Or something deeper? Plus: a live challenge — when was the last time you actually prayed for someone in public?

And because it's still Monday... there's a weekend recap, a slightly unhinged retelling of "Father Abraham," and a fireworks story that went about as well as you'd expect.

In this episode:

• Why boldness in faith feels so hard right now
• The real reason behind the fear of sharing your faith
• A challenge: pray for someone today, out loud, in public
• The stats on how open people actually are to faith conversations
• Weekend recaps, sermon takeaways, and Father Abraham chaos

New here? It's Monday is a weekly conversation between Eric and Natalie on faith, marriage, and real life — because Monday is when it all gets tested.

Desire doesn't disappear overnight — it drifts. In this episode, Eric and Natalie get honest about what kills desire in marriage, why withholding is never the weapon you think it is, and what it actually takes to want your spouse again at 42 the way you did at 22. Plus: the silent killer nobody talks about, why scheduling intimacy isn't unromantic, and the one thing that changes everything.
