Send us a textIt's the end of Christian AF… for now. And possibly the most on-brand way to wrap it all up.After years of beers, Bible hot takes, snarky one-liners, and genuinely vulnerable faith convos, Jesse, Jen, and Evan sit down one last time (for now) to say goodbye. Or at least… hit pause.We talk about:Why we started this thing in the first placeWhat we learned from showing up (even when we didn't want to)The beauty and chaos of faith that doesn't have all the answersAnd what might come next (spoiler: who knows?)There's also a brief return to Evan's “burn it all down” phase, a wholesome moment with the words of listeners, and—naturally—shots poured out for heresies past.This isn't a sad farewell. It's a hell yes, we did that moment.So grab a drink. Raise a glass. And thank you for listening. We couldn't have done it without you.

Yep, in this episode, I actually had a full-on conversation with ChatGPT to find out if AI could pull it off as a podcast partner. We cover a lot — from what a podcast even is (seriously, I told ChatGPT to pretend it didn't know), to how indie podcasters like us can use AI tools to plan, edit, organize, and even improve our show's workflow. You'll hear what worked, what didn't, and why I think AI still has a long way to go before it can totally replace that real human connection — but man, it's getting close.

For the 2nd episode for our MAMA Series, I'm taking you behind the scenes of how we're preparing for our second birth—and why this time, things look radically different.

Plus, I'm sharing the actual conversations you should be having with your partner or support team before baby arrives—beyond the nursery paint colors and registry fluff. Whether you're a first-time mama or preparing for birth again after trauma or uncertainty, I hope this episode meets you with honesty, encouragement, and practical support.Episode Highlights, Show Notes + Recommendations on the Living Wisely Well WebsiteIf this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear from you!

We're joined by Nick from Nick Off Duty, whose YouTube channel documenting real police work has garnered over 200,000 subscribers. He shares insights from his 18 years in law enforcement and introduces his groundbreaking police recruiting app designed to revolutionize how departments find qualified candidates nationwide.Behind the badge lies a world far more complex than most civilians ever see. Through candid analysis of real police encounters, we journey into the split-second decisions and psychological burdens that officers carry every day. What happens when less-than-lethal tactics fail during a confrontation? We dissect bodycam footage showing the moment when an apartment call escalates to lethal force, examining both what happened and the emotional aftermath officers face. The reality is stark—no officer wants to take a life, yet when that tragic moment comes, they're subjected to intense scrutiny, investigations, and psychological trauma that can last a lifetime.Rural policing emerges as a surprisingly challenging reality, with officers patrolling territories spanning hundreds of miles with backup potentially an hour away. This geographic isolation creates unique tactical considerations that urban departments rarely face. When you're the only officer for miles and a situation turns dangerous, how does that reality affect your decision-making?The mental health crisis emerges repeatedly throughout our conversation—both the toll on officers themselves and the challenges of responding to mental health emergencies with limited resources. County jails have become de facto mental health institutions, a role they were never designed to fulfill.Whether you're in law enforcement, considering a career in policing, or simply seeking to understand the human beings behind the badge, this episode offers rare, unfiltered insights into the profession's unseen realities.
