What if asking hard questions about your faith isn't rebellion, but a path toward deeper trust in Jesus? In this honest and hope-filled episode, Jason and Nicole unpack what "deconstruction" really means, why it is not a dirty word, and how it can lead to a stronger, more authentic walk with God.

From small-town church politics to generational gaps, cultural Christianity, and personal convictions, they address the real reasons people in Appalachia (and beyond) rethink their faith. Along the way, they share personal stories, biblical insights, and practical encouragement for those who are wrestling and for those walking alongside them.

Highlights include:

• Why deconstruction can be a healthy, biblical process
• How personal convictions can harm when forced on others
• Common cultural and church experiences that spark deconstruction
• Biblical examples of "holy deconstruction" from Jesus, the prophets, and the disciples
• Encouragement for rebuilding faith on the true foundation--Jesus

Whether you're in the middle of deconstruction, curious about it, or skeptical, this episode offers grace, perspective, and the reminder that the deepest worship often comes with the deepest wrestling.

What does biblical submission really look like—and is it anything like what we were taught?

In this follow-up episode, we dig deeper into how Scripture consistently flips human power structures on their heads. From Deborah and Jael to Mary and the Samaritan woman, we explore how God calls and equips people others overlook—including women, outcasts, and even children.

We talk honestly about servant leadership, mutual surrender in marriage, and why submission used as control is no longer Christlike—it’s oppression. Nicole shares part of her journey in accepting a call to preach while navigating old ideas about home leadership, and Jason reminds us that Jesus isn’t looking for the strongest—He’s looking for the most surrendered.

Whether you’re wrestling with gender roles, marriage dynamics, or ministry leadership, this conversation invites you to lay down fear and control and pick up love, equality, and mutual grace.

What really happens in a pastor's house the night before church? Spoiler alert: it's not always peaceful prayer and glowing halos.

In this episode, Jason and Nicole pull back the curtain on what Saturday nights and Sunday mornings look like when you're raising kids, leading a church, and still trying to find your sermon notes. From spiritual warfare to missing shoes, marriage tension to last-minute printer failures--this is the unfiltered reality of ministry life.

You'll hear laughter, vulnerability, and whole lot of grace as we talk about:

• Sermon anxiety and sleepless Saturday nights
• Why Sunday mornings are spiritual battle zones
• How to lead while feeling unprepared
• The pressure to perform vs the call to be present
• Finding peace in the chaos

If you've ever cried in the church parking lot, changed a diaper in your Sunday best, or wrestled with doubt on the way to preach--you're not alone. This one's for every ministry family trying to keep it together (and for everyone who thinks we've got it all figured out).

Pull up a chair--we saved you a seat at the table.
