In this episode, Nick and Leighton dive into the conversation that has been plaguing the Christian community for the last couple of weeks. John Chau was a missionary to a remote island called the North Sentinel Island where there is a people group that have never been exposed to anything other than their culture and traditions. They are completely un-westernized. John Chau felt that God called him to be a missionary to these people and ultimately die. This episode talks about that church's role in creating the psyche that we are responsible for every human soul. Its called the Great Commission right? Possibly John Chau just committed suicide.

In this episode, Nick and Leighton make their comeback with humor but poignant conversation. This episode tracks heavily towards politics with lots of stuff in between. Is social media making us feel more important than what we might actually be? Sounds pretty depressing. Should we always voice our political opinions for the world to see on Facebook?

In this episode, Nick and Leighton discuss some very hot button topics about being "fat" and being a Christian. Obviously the church does a poor job at teaching the fallacies of gluttony but are we just being too insensitive? The church as a whole promotes unhealthy living when it comes to eating. Are we just way too critical?

In this episode we talk about the common lie told to children. The lie that Santa is real! We also discuss how Christians should be generous, but also how we should approach giving money to beggars with great care in order to have the best impact on them. All of this combined with a guest appearance from Ebenezer Scrooge makes for a great episode.

What is the right kind of worship music? Should worship be as heavily debated in the church as it is? In this episode, Nick and Leighton discuss their opinions on what they prefer when it comes to worship music. Special Guest Todd Holloway (Worship pastor at Parkway House of Prayer, Roanoke Virginia) talks about how he ended up where he is and what he has learned about worship. Should the church have worship wars?

In this episode, Nick and Leighton discuss several issues with modesty in the church. Can a good Christian young lady wear yoga pants and not have to feel like a sex object? They discuss how they have recognized women objectify themselves just as much as men objectify them.

On this episode we talk about thanksgiving, Black Friday, and include some humor unintentionally. Enjoy!

Dads always have a way of making things more awkward when it comes to talking about sex.

In this episode, Nick and Leighton discuss the gray areas of the Christian faith. They discuss drinking, getting tattoos, and cursing.

In this episode we open up the discussion on mental health. We discuss troubled minds, spiritual warfare, and the approach that christians should take when faced with these types of issues. We also talk about the churches current approach to these issues. Simply put, many christians struggle with mental illness. So, why is this subject so taboo?

In this episode, Nick and Leighton discuss lots of stories that they created while growing up. Believe it or not, they have not always liked each other. Sam Roberson makes a guest appearance just to add to the madness. The discussion of porn comes up. It's a very private discussion and typically never talked about in the church but it is about time we talk about it. Enjoy this podcast where the hosts completely open up about their struggles with porn and what they have done to get past it.

In this episode we talk about sin. We answer several different questions about sin. Where did it come from? How does it impact us? Why do unbelievers still feel guilt or conviction? Those are just a few of the questions around the topic of sin that we talk about.

In this episode, the topics of deep theological debate arise: Calvinism vs. Arminianism. However, there is an interesting spin on this episode. Mathew Harshbarger (great friend and theological genius) discusses with the guys what it looks like when someone accepts Jesus into their heart. Does the Holy Spirit have all of you? Do you have all of the Holy Spirit? Do both apply or do neither apply? What even is TULIP and can you still be a Christian if you don't know? Listen to find out if they give resolution to this life-long debate.

In this episode, Nick and Leighton discuss PRAYER in a way that is guaranteed to get you thinking. They talk about many subjects but specifically 'Why is prayer treated as if it is obsolete in this day and age?' If we prayed hard enough, could the recent occurrence of natural disaster be avoidable? Also, Leighton has a crazy story about his Mom being told by the Holy Spirit about his specific sin and caught him red-handed. Can we be so in tune with the Holy Spirit that we can be like Leighton's mom even if we are a millennial? I guess you will just have to listen to find out.
