In this episode, we start with wedding stories, massive guest lists, lost keys, mariachi bands, sports takes, and Paul’s very questionable reverse osmosis water situation. Then the conversation turns toward Luke 12, where Jesus talks about division, loyalty, and the cost of truly following Him. We talk about people pleasing, standing for Jesus, and why we need the Holy Spirit to help us live with courage instead of fear.
