Long time... no ruffle. Yes, it’s been a hot minute since our last episode. Sabbatical, summer chaos, and even a computer crash tried to keep us grounded, but we’re back! (Kinda 🙂)

This episode, we’ve got a special treat: co-host Chris Landis and his wife Monica share what following Jesus looks like in the messy, beautiful reality of everyday life. And leading the conversation? None other than our "migratory bird" friend from Episode #13, Pastor Kris Wint!

From wrestling with trust, learning to live out discipleship practically, and finding God in the everyday, to awkward “I’m sorry” moments that actually heal, this conversation is as real as it gets. We hope this episode inspires, challenges, and maybe even makes you laugh along the way.

So grab your coffee, pull up a seat, and get ready for an episode that's a little bit different than what you might be used to!

Is it possible to be both biblically faithful and financially comfortable? In this episode, we ask uncomfortable questions about wealth, lifestyle, and what it really means to live the Jesus way. Join Jon, Chris, and Brandon as they wrestle with what the Bible says about riches — and what that might mean for your job, your house, and your habits. We'll even consider what it should look like for a church family to be financially blessed. Some feathers might get ruffled. Some budgets may feel attacked. But hey... we ask for your attention, not your tithe.

Is there a “right” way to live… or have we all just been following invisible scripts we didn’t even know we signed up for? In this episode, we throw the rulebook out the window—or at least question who wrote it—as we explore the tension between cultural expectations, Christian living, and the ever-shifting lines of what feels “normal.” We'll unpack where our assumptions come from and whether they’re really serving us… or just helping us stay in our paint-by-number comfort zones.

It’s equal parts philosophical, practical, and delightfully unpredictable. We dig into everything from house sizes and meal times to how we raise our kids, all while wondering if God’s will is more jazz solo than sheet music. Come for the deep questions, stay for the rabbit trails, and maybe—just maybe—leave with a little more freedom in how you approach the canvas of you own life.
