  • Enemy with No Arms & Teenagers with No Shoes
    2025/12/11

    Episode 14 is what happens when scripture, mission-trip trauma, a disarmed devil with T-rex arms, and a teenage boy who loses two pairs of shoes in one hour all collide at the speed of thunder.

    In this episode, the boys accidentally create the greatest WrathBuddies™ ad in human history (featuring Moses the Mountain Melter and the world’s most judgmental nightlight), roast their producer beyond HR-approved limits, and tell mission trip stories that will convince you God absolutely has a sense of humor (He made the platypus AND student ministry).

    Somewhere between the locker-kid rescue operation, Zechariah losing his voice, Jairus losing his patience, and the devil losing his arms, the brothers actually stumble into real wisdom: Scripture never misses — but we miss it when we don’t read it out loud.

    This episode is unhinged. Unfiltered. Unapologetically thunderous. And if you laugh, cry, or consider firing your youth pastor… congratulations. You’re officially a Thunder Buddy.

    Strap in. Say a prayer. Guard your shoes. Joy is our protest. Chaos is our brand. Scripture is undefeated.

  • Falling Out of the Van for Jesus
    2025/11/01

    Welcome back to Sons of Thunder, the only podcast where a mission trip turns into a theology lesson, a comedy special, and an unintentional stunt show—all before lunch.

    In this episode, Anthony and Joseph fire up the nostalgia machine and take you back to the golden age of church vans, MapQuest, and men who couldn’t not fall out of vehicles. Somewhere between the bruises, the drywall, and the “oh shoot” moments, they stumble (literally) into a deep truth: the church keeps trying to make the able faithful instead of making the faithful able.

    From stories of near-death mission trips to prayer-powered earthquakes, and from photos of random churches to a generational legacy that still shakes the heavens, this episode is equal parts revival meeting and blooper reel.

    Featuring:

    ⚡ The guy who fell out of the van… every. single. time.

    ⚡ The Thunder Brothers’ 87-trip resume of chaos and calling.

    ⚡ A cameo from their dad’s eternal fist-bump legacy.

    ⚡ And one thunderous reminder: God’s not looking for talent—He’s looking for the faithful.

    Faith. Family. Falling out of vans. It’s all holy ground here.

    Listen now wherever chaos meets calling.

  • No Arms?
    2025/10/16

    What if we told you the devil can’t even hold a sword? Or a fork? Or literally anything?

    Welcome to Episode 12, where Anthony and Joseph (still wearing the same black polos as last week—don’t ask) thunderize Colossians 2:15 and uncover the greatest truth the Church has forgotten: the enemy has no weapon. None. Zip. Nada. He’s disarmed—literally.

    Between Brooklyn-accented angels, OCD childhood confessions, and a worship-night story that’ll shake your theology (and your speakers), this episode swings from revival-style fire to full-on comedy chaos. Somewhere between “the darkness trembles” and “he can’t even clap,” the brothers remind you why joy really is our end-time survival strategy.

    Plus:

    The announcement of the first ever Sons of Thunder Bible Study (heaven help us)

    A one-liner worth printing on a T-shirt:

    “Don’t be afraid of what’s already terrified of Jesus.”

  • Which Garden?
    2025/10/02

    What do polos, popcorn-eating angels, and the single most powerful word in history have in common? Apparently, Episode 11.

    In this thunder-charged installment, Joseph and Anthony accidentally wear matching polos (it’s serious business, okay?), insult their producer (again), and somehow stumble into one of the most profound ministry verses you’ll ever hear: “Nevertheless.”

    From the Garden of Gethsemane to someone almost getting arrested, from generational dad-sermon freakouts to awkward Bible mix-ups (Garden of what again?), the Sons of Thunder prove once more that Scripture is alive, hilarious, and occasionally sounds like a bad stand-up set in heaven.

    This episode packs more punch than a youth camp altar call and more chaos than Judges 19 (don’t ask). So grab your popcorn (the angel already did), sign up to be an official Thunder Buddy at TheThunderPod.com, and prepare to laugh, cringe, and maybe cry as we thunderize the greatest “nevertheless” of all time.

  • LOOK LIKE THE KING
    2025/09/18

    Episode 10 almost didn’t exist—our SD card staged a rebellion. But what made it through? A quick-fire run at one of the most overlooked stories in Scripture: Mephibosheth.

    We unpack why Saul is the ultimate Reverse Grinch, trace how one panicked nurse changed biblical history, and follow the crippled prince who dragged his way to the king’s table. Along the way: Absalom’s shampoo-model hair, the dangers of looking like the wrong king, and why Mephibosheth’s mic-drop line (“I don’t want your stuff—I want you”) still hits harder than a youth camp altar call.

    It’s short, it’s scrappy, and it might be the best reminder yet: when the true King is away, don’t blend in with the world—look like Him.

  • Thanks Dad
    2025/08/28

    This one’s different. Not less Thunder, just a different storm. In this heartfelt episode, the Sons of Thunder look back on the life, legacy, laughter, and lessons of their dad—four years after his passing.

    It’s a conversation laced with nostalgia and humor (because of course he trolled them with Comic Sans, orange duct tape, and legendary golf course trash talk), but also filled with deep gratitude, honest reflection, and moments that will hit you right in the chest.

    From mission trips that moved mountains (literally), to childhood campouts in the living room, to sermons that reshaped how they see God, Anthony and Joseph invite you into the stories that made them who they are—and the man who made them laugh, dream, and believe bigger.

    This isn’t just a podcast episode. It’s a thank you note to a father, a mentor, a prankster, and a man whose faith still thunders through his sons.

    Listen with a smile. End with a lump in your throat.

  • Exorcism Fail
    2025/08/21

    The brothers dive headfirst (literally, if you ask Paul) into one of the wildest stories in Acts 19—the Seven Sons of Sceva getting wrecked, stripped naked, and sent running by a single demon who had a better grasp of theology than they did. Along the way, we invent a Delilah action figure (complete with betrayal mode), discuss whether Paul was secretly the first WWE headbutt champion, and discover why even demons shudder at the name of Jesus while most of us can’t stop treating Him like a lucky rabbit’s foot.

    It’s chaos, comedy, and conviction in equal measure. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, and you’ll probably never read Acts 19 the same way again.

    The moral? Don’t be like the Sons of Sceva—because nothing says “revival” like running home bruised, beltless, and afraid.

  • The Oily Neighbor
    2025/08/12

    What do soda withdrawals, dolphin-free dolphin tours, and nosy neighbors named Janice have in common? Absolutely nothing… until you spend an hour with the Sons of Thunder.

    In this episode, the brothers go full investigative journalism (minus the journalism) on 2 Kings 4:1–7 — the miracle of Elisha and the widow’s oil. But this isn’t your Sunday school flannelgraph. We’re talking Gen Alpha kids asking for “skibidi vessels,” neighbors hiding their Pioneer Woman cookware, and Janice standing on a camel trough to spy through your window.

    You’ll hear:

    • The riveting tale of how God turned one tiny prophet’s oil jar into a retirement plan.
    • Why borrowing more stuff was actually the solution to a crippling debt problem.
    • How neighborhood gossip could have changed the course of biblical history.
    • A theological mic drop on faith, obedience, and why God refuses to fill already-full vessels.

    Also featuring: Dead Sea Dolphin Tours™ (“Disappointing on porpoise since… forever”), ravioli confessions, and a shocking amount of unsolicited Tupperware commentary.

    Buckle up, Thunder Buddies. This is the episode where miracles get thunderized, Janice gets exposed, and your faith might just get a refill.
