    Episode 165 – Christmas, Church Culture, and the Santa Confusion
    2025/12/22
    Is Santa a harmless tradition or a theological headache? And why does Christmas bring out so many unspoken church rules? Christmas tends to magnify every tension we already have about faith, family, and church culture. In this episode, we talk through Christmas from a Christian perspective, including Santa, tradition, and why December turns simple beliefs into complicated debates. Nate and Dr. Joseph Tillman dig into how churches talk about Christmas, how families try to balance faith and fun, and why so many people feel pressure to get it “right.” The conversation touches on belief, leadership at home, honesty with kids, and how cultural traditions can quietly shape faith more than we realize. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt awkward explaining Santa, side-eyed a Christmas sermon, or wondered why church culture feels extra intense during the holidays. It leaves room for Christians, skeptics, and everyone in between to think out loud without pretending there is a clean or perfect answer. Hosted by Nate and Dr. Joseph Tillman, When I Heard This is a podcast built on honest conversations about church, faith, and culture in America. The discussions are thoughtful, sarcastic, and grounded in real experiences, not polished answers or corporate talking points.

  • Episode 164 – Christian Leadership After the Service

    Episode 164 – Christian Leadership After the Service
    2025/12/15
    Leadership does not end when the service does. This episode continues part two of the conversation on Christian leadership, shifting the focus away from church roles and toward real life. What does leadership look like at home, in marriage, with kids, at work, and in friendships when there is no platform, no applause, and no title attached. Nate and Dr. Joseph Tillman talk through the gap many people feel between church language and everyday behavior. The discussion hits on expectations placed on Christians, the pressure to lead well outside the building, and why faith feels harder and more honest once Sunday is over. It is less about authority and more about consistency, accountability, and how leadership shows up when no one is watching. The conversation stays grounded, sarcastic in the right places, and realistic about how messy faith and relationships can be. Whether you are deeply involved in church, loosely connected, or somewhere in between, this episode creates space to question what Christian leadership actually means in real life. Hosted by Nate and Dr. Joseph Tillman, this episode reflects the kind of conversation people usually save for the drive home or the group chat after church. Thoughtful, direct, and very aware of how complicated faith and culture can be.

  • Episode 162 – The Truth About Christian Leadership in the Church

    Episode 162 – The Truth About Christian Leadership in the Church
    2025/11/24
    What actually counts as Christian leadership… and why does it fall apart so often inside the church? In this episode, Nate and Pastor Joseph dig into the truth about leadership in the church and why so many believers end up confused, hurt, or just straight-up annoyed by how authority works in different Christian spaces. They break down what healthy spiritual leadership looks like, how influence can be used well or misused fast, and why accountability matters way more than titles or stage presence. It’s honest, funny, and a little uncomfortable in the best way possible, especially if you’ve ever wondered why leadership feels so different from church to church. If you like real talk about faith, culture, and the messy parts of church life, you’re in the right place.
