Episode 1: Jack and Rob return for Season 3 to discuss the origin and allure of trilogies in film and music. A deep dive about boots. What is it about the number 3 that permeates human culture? Why don't underage kids drink at shows anymore? How can you make something worse by trying to make it better? 

God's timing, humor, and consistency are too perfect to miss. This episode dives deep into the divine alignment between Scripture, music, and memory—showing that you can't make this stuff up. When songs from Maverick City Music—“Too Good to Not Believe,” “Refiner,” and “Kingdom” featuring the lyric “Do you wanna know what Heaven looks like? It's looking like me and you”—randomly shuffled into my quiet time, it felt like heaven itself was speaking.In this powerful reflection, I share how Proverbs 10, my parents' timeless wisdom, and a “random” playlist all collided to prove one truth: God's consistency is undefeated. Verse after verse reminds us that righteousness brings joy, diligence beats laziness, and wisdom invites discipline. My mom used to say, “Count your many blessings, name them one by one,” and my pops would remind me, “Boy, you're the greatest—so act accordingly.” Turns out, they were echoing what God wrote 3,000 years ago.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima discuss the optics of a Cleveland Browns "tank" and what is still needed to ensure a more positive Browns future.

Today's podcast is a reflection on a note I observed in my latest quarterly review. My sense of humor has evolved and changed over the years, ebbing and flowing in unique ways since my childhood. It has pivoted, shrunk, and now expanded, which I am grateful for. I share how it has evolved and how my time in Brazil expanded it for the better in this episode. I hope you find it interesting to listen to and that it may prompt some reflection of your own. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

What happens if you get to the third date and it still feels awkward? Grin and bear it? Or keep waiting for chemistry? And how can you trust that your gut is telling you the right thing? This week, a listener shares: "I met a man who checks every box on paper. He's kind, reliable, matches my values… but I feel absolutely nothing. No spark. No butterflies. Is something wrong with me?" In this episode, Damona shares the truth about emotional resonance, why the three-date rule isn't a trap, and how to tell the difference between being too picky and being truly honest with yourself.  You'll hear how to identify the signals your body sends you, why humor matters more than you think, and why being “decent” should never be the bar. What You'll Hear In This Episode: What the three-date rule really means (and what it doesn't) Why “good on paper” doesn't always translate to connection How to tell if you're genuinely curious or just people-pleasing The surprising role of humor in long-term compatibility How to do an energy check after every date What your nervous system is trying to tell you The difference between settling and staying open Connect With Us: Get your copy of "F the Fairy Tale: Rewrite the Dating Myths and Live Your Own Love Story" Unlock the Secret to Successful Dating with our ⁠⁠Date Tracker⁠⁠ Call or text your question to: 424-246-6255 Follow @damonahoffman on ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠, ⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠, and submit questions via DM or voice memo anytime.

Peter Rosenberger explores whether we've lost our sense of humor as a nation.

"Jesus surely has a sense of humor," Pastor Chris says, "and proof positive is that He called me to be a pastor." But does Jesus really have a sense of humor, and is there any evidence in the Scripture of it? Join us for a look at a fascinating snapshot of Jesus' teaching in Luke 12 where we ponder both a question posed to him and a parable that followed. Some delightfully funny moments (at least according to Pastor Chris) show us some wonderful insights into the mind and character of Christ. The painting associated with this podcast/sermon (visible on the Epiclesis website but not on the iTunes Podcast thumbnail) is titled "Jesus the Light of Love" by Ivan Guaderrama.

You can't just build the machine and point it toward the ground. The necessary pit will be wide and deep as a result.As a matter of transportation need, I wonder when our city is going to get serious and address the transportation needs of all those waiters, bartenders, dishwashers, and musicians that make your night on the town possible.That parking lot that the state has designated will be "destroyed" as part of the process. Erection of a boring device may take 18 or more months. 

Have you ever faced a situation that seemed utterly hopeless, only to witness a last-minute miracle? The remarkable rescue of Dallas Theological Seminary reveals the perfect timing of divine provision.Founded in 1924 by Dr. Lewis Sperry Chafer, Dallas Theological Seminary was destined to become one of the world's premier biblical training institutions. Its graduates—including influential leaders like David Jeremiah, Chuck Swindoll, Tony Evans, and Andy Stanley—would ultimately impact millions worldwide. But this remarkable legacy nearly ended before it truly began.Today's episode is a powerful reminder that God sees the future impact of the people and institutions He sustains. He works in His timing, not ours, He meets the needs precisely when required. As Philippians 4:19 promises, "God will supply all your needs from His glorious riches." Whether you're facing financial struggles, career uncertainty, or personal challenges today, remember that God's provision often arrives at the eleventh hour, teaching us patience and deepening our faith. The key is to keep believing, keep praying, and trust that God will come through—perhaps in ways more surprising and perfect than we could imagine.We would love to hear your comments.

Many of us in the building industry turn to Nikki for all questions dehumidification (certainly including this weeks hosts, Jake & Pete).

This Sunday Special is full of disconnects today, but before diving in, J&J take us to Plug City to talk you through where they were right before the recording. They spent the first part of their day at Albert's Bar after the owner (a subscriber!) reached out claiming his spot was great for a first date. They took in the ambiance during a special project for the pod and ended with lunch to get the full experience so they could assess for themselves. Afterward, they read an “Icky or Picky?” about a trip to Jared's second home, the Comedy Cellar, but our listener wasn't laughing. She was out with her boyfriend for a fun date night, and one joke made him laugh so hard, a mix of the ick and embarrassment came over her. Next, an Aussie listener writes in about her relationship going downhill ever since she let her BF know how her parents felt about their relationship, and now distance is getting added to the mix as he moves closer to work. Are the obstacles all in their heads or can nothing be done? J&J give their two cents to help her out of the hole she's in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Love you, B RESOURCES/LINKS Guest Yvonne Orji https://www.yvonneorji.com/ Bamboozled By Jesus: How God Tricked Me into the Life of My Dreams The wait is sexy | Yvonne Orji | TEDxWilmingtonSalon Quote If I know who I am and God called me to be here, then clearly who I am is good enough for here. Takeaways God has a sense of humor and wants us to have a relationship with Him. The perception of God as vengeful is often based on out-of-context scripture and human perception. Yvonne Orji discovered her calling in comedy and uses humor to reach people. Yvonne's book, 'Bamboozled by Jesus,' shares her journey of faith and how she turned losses into wins. Believe in yourself and your abilities, even when others may doubt you. Stay true to your values and don't compromise them for success. Favor is when God opens doors and blesses you in unexpected ways. Don't settle for less than you deserve in relationships; wait for someone who appreciates and supports you fully. Success is not always measured by societal standards; trust in God's plan for your life. ⋇ Convoy of Hope - Empowering Women and Girls Together Donate here ⋇ Bianca's new book Grit Don't Quit: Developing Resilience And Faith When Giving Up Isn't An Option ⋇ The Grit Don't Quit Bible Study is now available. ⋇ So grateful to our sponsors!
