In this episode, Josh and Matt take on one of the most misunderstood and often avoided topics in the Christian life: money.

Is money good? Is it dangerous? Should Christians pursue it, avoid it, or something in between?

Too often, we swing to extremes—either believing wealth is evil or chasing it like it’s everything. But Scripture paints a much deeper picture. Money itself isn’t the issue… the heart is.

The guys dig into Malachi chapter 3, where God, speaking through the final prophet of the Old Testament, calls out the nation of Israel—not for having money, but for robbing Him. Their issue wasn’t income… it was trust, obedience, and misplaced priorities.

What does it really mean to “rob God”?
Why does God tie generosity to blessing?
And how can money quietly become an idol in our lives—just like anything else?

From tithing to stewardship, from provision to pride, this episode challenges you to take an honest look at your relationship with money and ask:

Is God my provider… or is my bank account?

Because in the end, money isn’t just about dollars and cents—
it’s about who (or what) you trust.

Strong families don’t happen by accident.
They’re built with intention — and boundaries.

Josh and Matt sit down to walk through the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—and the moment where everyone was expected to bow.

But instead of just looking at the story, they bring it into real life.

Because today, we’re still being asked to bow—just not to a statue.

It can be our kids’ sports. Our teams. Our jobs. Our reputation. Even our families.

In this episode, Josh and Matt talk about how idols aren’t always obvious—and how easy it is to give something good a place that only God should have.

Strong families don’t happen by accident.
They’re built with intention — and boundaries.

In this episode of Living with Boundaries, we take a hard but necessary look at the role of fathers and the weight of their influence in the home. Rooted in the truth of Ephesians 6:4, we unpack what it really means when Scripture says, “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger…”

Too often, the way we lead—through harshness, inconsistency, unrealistic expectations, or emotional distance—can unintentionally create frustration, resentment, and even embitterment in our kids. This episode challenges fathers to examine not just their authority, but their tone, their presence, and their intentionality.

We talk about:

• What it looks like to provoke vs. to lead with purpose
• How discipline and grace are meant to work together
• The long-term impact of a father’s words and actions
• Practical ways to raise children in encouragement, not frustration

This isn’t about perfection—it’s about awareness, growth, and leading our families in a way that reflects both truth and love.

If you’re a father, mentor, or anyone influencing the next generation, this episode will challenge and encourage you to lead differently.
