    Becoming a Not Just Sunday Christian
    2025/09/09
    What does it really mean to follow Jesus? Not just at church, but at work, in your relationships, on your commute, or when no one’s watching? Welcome to Not Just Sunday! In this first official episode, hosts Keith Simon and Patrick Miller unpack what it means to live as a full-time Christian in a part-time world. They share personal stories about how their views of faith and “ministry” have shifted and why the Christian life can’t be confined to a church building or a Sunday morning. Then, they dig into the concept of change: why it’s so hard, why most of us feel stuck, and what God is actually doing in us when we don’t see fast results. Together, they begin to wrestle with a big question: How does real change actually happen? They also discuss what it means to live as a "saint" and begin to explore the deeply human process of becoming someone new by the grace of God. Whether you're just starting to take your faith seriously or you’ve been walking with Jesus for decades, this podcast is an invitation to go deeper and to follow Jesus into all of life. 🔔 Subscribe now to join us on the journey toward full-time faith. 📫 Want Sunday's best for your Monday morning inbox?

    ToT Archive - What Do Demonic Powers Have To Do with Politics? with Tim Mackie
    2025/04/09
    Demonic powers and politics? Is this going to be a weird campfire conversation where they share their demon stories? No, quite the opposite! You may have heard this one before! That’s because it’s an older episode, but it’s one of our favorites! And given the political chatter over the last few months, we decided to resurface it and revisit a conversation on the reality of demonic and dark spiritual forces at work in the political realm. Hear as Patrick sits down with Tim Mackie, cofounder of BibleProject, and the two have a sophisticated and candid discussion about the “powers” that Paul refers to in Ephesians. Tim shares how these spiritual powers contribute to disunity and fragmentation within the church, urging Christians to be aware of these schemes and seek unity above all else. You’ll also hear Tim share how the BibleProject navigates hot-button, cultural topics, and whether or not he believes the church should weigh in on such conversations. Listen now!

We’ve kept a few of these conversations on our feed because they're worth revisiting, but the tone and focus have shifted from what we’re doing now on Not Just Sunday.

    ToT Archive - Is Gen Z More Open to Following Jesus? with Brad East
    2025/04/03
    Is the Gospel really worth living for? Is it worth dying for? Depending on when you were born, you may approach these questions differently. Today’s guest, Brad East, author of “Letters to a Future Saint” and an associate professor of theology at Abilene Christian University, spends the bulk of his time with Gen Z. Listen as he shares his observations with Patrick and explains why he believes Gen Z is more conscious than older generations of the cost of following Jesus. He discusses where he thinks the church has overcorrected in Reformed circles, shying away from taboo topics like sex. He also shares some beliefs and practices that he believes we’ve lost from the ancient church. Plus, what are the biggest defeatist beliefs for young people when they think about the church? And how can Gen Z expand their spiritual journey? Listen now! Have you read "Joyful Outsiders" yet? It's available now!

    We've recently talked about the seismic shifts happening in today's culture. That's why this week, we decided to dig up an older episode on this very topic. A few years back, Patrick sat down with John Mark Comer to discuss the state of Christianity in the culture. John Mark, author and pastor, shares his story of how he started following Jesus. Then you'll hear John Mark and Patrick dive right into topics such as the meaning of evangelicalism, especially in current times, and the problem with celebrity culture and Christianity. They also give insights into the cultural shifts challenging faithfulness to Jesus and how we can move forward. Whether you heard it already or not, it's a great listen!

  • ToT Archive - The Cultural Vibes, They Are A-Shiftin’

    ToT Archive - The Cultural Vibes, They Are A-Shiftin’
    2025/02/12
    Is it culturally acceptable to be a Christian again? Is it cool to be a conservative now? Is culture turning its back on the last ten progressive, anti-religious years? Consider today’s episode a vibe check on our current cultural moment. Everybody seems to be talking about a cultural vibe shift, but what does it mean? What’s changed? Keith and Patrick team up on today’s episode to break it down. They examine American vibe shifts of the past and provide a number of recent examples to prove a new cultural shift is here: Bible sales rising to an all-time high, Joe Rogan showcasing his spiritual openness, “Trump dances” trending in the NFL, tech billionaires proudly attending the inauguration, businesses shutting down DEI departments, Meta firing fact checkers, and more. But why is all of this happening? Did the progressive movement become a victim of its own success? And how should Christians react? Does this new cultural vibe shift present more opportunities for spreading the Gospel? Will a more shallow version of “cultural Christianity” begin to rise? Listen now!

  • ToT Archive - Embrace the Cringe: What Comes After Postmodernism? with Paul Anleitner

    ToT Archive - Embrace the Cringe: What Comes After Postmodernism? with Paul Anleitner
    2025/02/05
    “A period of cultural change is commencing.” That’s what Paul Anleitner recently posted on X. But what cultural vibe shift is he referencing? Have we come to the end of postmodernism? Paul joins Patrick on the pod today to discuss our new metamodernism moment. Paul is a writer, theologian of culture, podcast host, and pastor. He begins by explaining the progression from modernism to postmodernism, and how the 1990s ushered in a level of cynicism and suspicion that’s remained until just recently. He then explains how he’s observed a newer metamodern vibe shift: the exhaustion of cynicism, the failure of postmodernism, the myth of secular progressivism, and the crisis of meaning that’s led to a sincere desire for authenticity. Providing examples such as Creed and Ted Lasso, he explains why he believes our culture is ready to “embrace the cringe.” But what does a new metamodern era look like? And what opportunities does this metamodern moment open up for Christians? Listen now! "Joyful Outsiders" is available now! Learn more, read a sample chapter, and grab your own copy here.

  • ToT Archive - How Builders Change Culture with Brent Beshore

    ToT Archive - How Builders Change Culture with Brent Beshore
    2025/01/29
    “Create wealthy, autonomous consumption machines.” That’s been described as the end goal of the American dream. Sounds positive at face value. But is it biblical? This week’s episode continues our series of breaking down the six ways that Christians can impact culture as presented in our book, “Joyful Outsiders.” Today, we’re focusing on builders, or people who build institutions where we live our common life (think: business, healthcare, education, church, etc.). To illustrate, we’re talking to Brent Beshore, Founder and President of Permanent Equity, a private equity firm that operates much differently than its counterparts. Brent starts by detailing his own journey and how he went from an atheist to a Christian. He explains how he weaves his faith into business, resisting the urge to create a model that’s built on self-reliance. He points out the pitfalls of the American dream, describes his ultimate goal for his businesses, and shares where he allows Christian values to come into play in business settings. Plus, is it a sin to be rich? How can someone know if it’s God, or the allure of the American dream, that’s calling them to an opportunity? And what advice would he give to people who want to resist the temptation to build their own kingdoms? Listen now! Are you a builder too? Or maybe you’re an artist, protester, trainer, builder, advisor, or ambassador? Find out by taking our quick quiz now. "Joyful Outsiders" is available now!
