Are we ignoring the most important issues of justice while fighting over trivial things? In this episode of the Voxology podcast, Mike and Tim tackle the heavy reality of the Epstein files and the church's response to systemic injustice. Join us for an honest conversation about anger, accountability, and a powerful message on faith. ⚖️ JUSTICE AND THE EPSTEIN FILES Things get serious as Mike reads a phenomenal post by Pastor Brian Drinkwine. We dive deep into the recent news surrounding the Epstein files, the Department of Justice, and political figures. ⛪ THE CHURCHS RESPONSE This is a raw look at how American Christianity has become skilled at straining gnats and swallowing camels. Why do we go to war over church carpet colors but stay silent on the exploitation of the vulnerable? We discuss the heartbreak of losing trust in leaders and the challenge of Matthew 20. Jesus asks if we can drink the cup of reckoning without rushing to defend our political tribes. THE POWERS AND PRINCIPALITIES Then, Mike and Tim explore the concept of powers and principalities, the wisdom of God versus human wisdom, and redefine what freedom in Christ truly means. The conversation is rich with personal reflections, cultural critiques, and a call to action for listeners to engage with the world around them.

Does The Dark Knight still hold up 18 years later? We brought it back to the big screen at Alamo Drafthouse St. Louis for our first Screen & Social of 2026 — and the fan reactions were

• Vegas was not the "exhale" after Phoenix, 17,000+ showed up • Mandalay Bay venue exceeded expectations • Lounge couches, neon relay vibe, and actual Vegas energy • Judging adjustments post-Phoenix and penalty transparency questions • Daria on NYC ticket chaos and affiliate presale reality • $270 solos and $450 doubles and pricing creep • Should NYC expand beyond two weekends? • Dave's DEKA Strong PR and Strong as a bigger lane We break down why Vegas was anything but a quiet follow-up to Phoenix. Mandalay Bay handled the volume, the relay felt like a nightclub, and HYROX leaned into the Vegas vibe in a way that actually worked. We also dig into judging changes, ongoing penalty confusion, and the NYC ticket madness — including what really happened with presale links and why tickets vanished in 90 minutes. Plus pricing talk, relay age group frustrations, and Dave's latest DEKA Strong effort. Plus Bryan The Hedge Podcaster comes on to discuss KOTSK Final Episode of Season 1.

In this episode, Mike and Tim ask a provocative question: Is "Christ is King" becoming blasphemy? They begin by analyzing recent political rhetoric, specifically a speech by Pete Hegseth, to discuss how biblical language can be hijacked for coercive power rather than reflecting the character of Jesus. The hosts argue that proclaiming theological truths while living in opposition to the way of Jesus is a distortion of "faith and politics." The conversation then shifts to a deep exploration of the Lord's Prayer and the petition, "Your Kingdom come." Mike and Tim unpack the concept of the "anti-kingdom," explaining that Jesus preached the Kingdom of God in enemy-occupied territory. They explore "theology" regarding the "powers and principalities," looking at the Divine Council in the Psalms, the "heavenly host" in Genesis, and how the biblical authors understood the spiritual forces behind structural evil and injustice. This isn't just about ancient myths; it is about understanding "the role of the church in society" when facing systemic corruption. By contrasting the "cruciformity" of the Gospel with the power dynamics of empire, the guys offer a framework for "navigating cultural challenges" with wisdom. They highlight that true "Christianity" recognizes the spiritual battle at play—not just in individuals, but in cultural patterns and ideologies. As the hosts discuss the "seen and unseen" realms, they emphasize the importance of prayer and "justice" in a world that is both beautiful and broken. We encourage and would love discussion as we pursue these complex topics, so please engage the conversation on Facebook and Instagram.

They look so beautifully abandoned, even in use. You say they look like arks after the sea's dried up, I say they look like pirate ships, and I think of that walk in the valley where J said, You don't believe in God? And I said, No. I believe in this connection we all have to nature, to each other, to the universe. And she said, Yeah, God. And how we stood there, low beasts among the white oaks, Spanish moss, and spider webs, obsidian shards stuck in our pockets, woodpecker flurry, and I refused to call it so. So instead, we looked up at the unruly sky, its clouds in simple animal shapes we could name though we knew they were really just clouds— disorderly, and marvelous, and ours.   Copyright Credit: Poem copyright ©2012 by Ada Limón, whose most recent book of poems is Sharks in the Rivers, Milkweed Editions, 2010.

Bobby Capobianco came on the program after a HYROX weekend and discusses: • Why HYROX works • From elite basketball to burnout to rebuilding • Why some brands connect and others miss • The power of visuals and experience • Authenticity in the influencer era • The ceiling of HYROX Summary This one starts casual and turns into a bigger conversation about HYROX and the fitness moment we are in right now. Bobby shares his path from high level basketball recruit to completely burned out former athlete who gained 100 pounds on purpose, then rebuilt through CrossFit and eventually moved into the experiential side of the fitness industry. At the core of the episode is why HYROX works. Not just the format, but the feeling. The look. The shareability. The fact that it makes everyday people feel like athletes. The conversation explores why other brands have not captured that same energy, where authenticity fits in a world of paid influence, and why real world experience may matter more than product specs. It is part sports talk, part business breakdown, and part where is this all headed.

Does the Bible truly restrict women in leadership? In this thought-provoking Voxology Podcast episode, Mike Geary, Susie Lind, and Preston Sprinkle wrestle with this deeply significant theological question. Drawing from Preston's upcoming book, *From Genesis to Junia: What the Bible Really Says About Women in Leadership*, they explore the historical, cultural, and biblical contexts that shape complementarian and egalitarian debates. Are women called to lead, preach, and teach in the church? What role does cultural context play in interpreting scripture? With a blend of personal stories, rigorous scholarship, and honest dialogue, the hosts unpack passages like 1 Timothy 2 and Ephesians 5, illuminating how interpretations of authority, headship, and agency have shaped the Church's approach to women in ministry. Susie shares her lived experience as a pastor navigating these challenges, while Preston dives into the exegetical work that informed his book. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about how faith intersects with justice, theology, and cultural issues. Join the conversation as the hosts emphasize Jesus' inclusive teachings and challenge the commodification of women within religious structures. We encourage you to engage the discussion on Facebook and Instagram, or share your thoughts in the comments below.

HYROX Chundering with Lauren Stockley. Plus Squeaky Toy Judging with Mark Day. Matt sits down with Mark Day and Lauren Stockley to discuss Elite 15 judging controversies and athlete experiences. Mark breaks down his viral videos on Rich Ryan's wall balls and movement standard inconsistencies, advocating for professional judging pathways. Lauren shares her devastating Phoenix DNF after throwing up on the rower, her Stockholm penalty, and balancing full-time teaching with Elite 15 racing.

• Elite 15 judging controversy from HYROX Phoenix • Wall ball depth calls and sled line penalties • Judge positioning and why some no reps are impossible to see • Why HYROX should back judges publicly and fix issues privately • Passport and birth certificate requirements for regional championships • Certified copy confusion for U.S. athletes • U.S. versus European passport culture • Spartan DEKA Discovery activations at race festivals • What worked and failed with Spartan Games • Mixed doubles judging and workload imbalance • Why sim times do not count as real race results This Monday Not So Live starts with the HYROX regional championship requirement that you prove you're actually from the region, and the big twist for Americans: it is not "show your license," it is "bring a passport or certified birth certificate." From there the episode bounces through passport culture differences, studio upgrades, and a surprisingly smart Spartan move, DEKA Discovery activations at Spartan festivals that funnel muddy OCR people into fitness racing. The second half is the real meat: Phoenix judging. Cheryl and Dave lay out why the Elite 15 backlash feels louder this time, from wall ball depth calls to sled line penalties that look impossible to judge from the assigned position. They argue HYROX is trying, but the sport is now too big and too high stakes for anonymous, inconsistent officiating. They want better judge positioning, clearer standards, more tech support, and more accountability. The episode closes with a side quest on mixed doubles and why it is hard to regulate at the elite level, plus Matt's ongoing crusade that sim times are not race results and will never impress him the way a real chipped race does.

Is border security truly biblical? At least in the way in which this administration is advocating? In this compelling episode of the Voxology Podcast, Mike and Tim tackle this pressing question with thoughtful analysis and deep theological reflection. Exploring passages like Romans 13 and Leviticus 19:34, they examine the intersection of faith and politics, addressing claims about the Bible's stance on border security and justice. Together, they navigate key cultural challenges, unpacking how scripture is often used—or misused—in political debates. This episode dives into the role of the church in society, highlighting the importance of cruciformity, compassion, and justice in how Christians respond to immigration and broader governance issues. The hosts challenge listeners to rethink assumptions, engage critically with scripture, and consider how the teachings of Jesus call us to uphold human dignity in all circumstances. Join the conversation as we explore how faith intersects with cultural issues, and how humility, curiosity, and critical thinking can guide us in pursuing justice and embodying the upside-down kingdom of God.

We don't build the Kingdom Of God We announce it We seek it We recieve it We bear witness to it We build for it What does it mean to truly seek the Kingdom of God? In this episode, the Voxology team explores the profound and practical implications of living in light of Jesus' Kingdom. From understanding the communal and political nature of the Kingdom to discussing themes like cruciformity, justice, and the role of the church in society, this episode unpacks how faith intersects with cultural challenges and societal structures. Join the conversation as the hosts examine how Jesus' teachings call us to embody a countercultural way of life, rejecting the power of coercion in favor of love, reconciliation, and abundance. Through thoughtful dialogue and personal reflections—like navigating issues of homelessness and the dignity of every human being—they challenge us to see the Kingdom as an expansive, inclusive, and tangible reality breaking into the world today. How does the church bear witness to this Kingdom? What does "faith and politics" look like lived out? And how do we faithfully resist passivity while embracing Jesus' call to justice and peace? These are just a few of the questions tackled in this engaging and thought-provoking episode. We encourage and would love discussion as we pursue these questions together! Share your thoughts and connect with us on Facebook and Instagram.

In this episode, Mike and Tim navigate through a snowpocalypse while discussing the nuances of faith, hope, and the human experience. They delve into the complexities of optimism versus hope, the role of spiritual disciplines, and the unexpected ways God might work in our lives. Further, they explore various themes surrounding faith, politics, and the human experience.

Topics HYROX's new Elite 15 points system and why it replaces time-based qualification How points are earned, counted, and retroactively applied Why course variance made the old system unsustainable Strength of field and how tiebreakers will work What this means for Elite Singles and Elite Doubles athletes Increased racing demands and injury risk concerns North America vs Europe race access imbalance Summary Cheryl and Matt sit down with Kris Rugloski, the 2022 HYROX World Champion, to break down HYROX's newly announced Elite 15 points system. The new framework shifts qualification away from raw finishing times and toward race placement, consistency, and points earned across multiple events, with results retroactively counting back to last season. They discuss why the change was necessary, how strength of field and tiebreakers factor in, and what this means for athletes trying to qualify in regions with fewer races. Later in the episode, Kat Fahsbender shares her perspective on how the new system could reshape elite racing, scheduling, and long-term sustainability for athletes. This episode breaks down what matters, what's still unclear, and why this change represents one of the most significant competitive shifts HYROX has made to date.

Topics  Garage gym setups and why home gyms win for hybrid athlete The HYROX Cruise pricing, capacity, and who it is really for bunq banking and whether race day perks are worth switching banks Surf dating and why fitness dating apps struggle to land Gambling partnerships and the risks for a growing sport OnlyFans sponsorship backlash and what the reaction revealed Audience fatigue, teaser culture, and brand trust When a fast growing brand should say no to partners Matt, Cheryl, and Dave dig into the HYROX Cruise rollout, bunq banking partnership, Surf dating app, and gambling sponsorships, questioning who these partnerships are actually for and whether they add value for athletes or simply create noise. The conversation expands into sponsorship fatigue, teaser culture, and the growing tension between growth and trust. The episode closes with a candid discussion about the backlash surrounding an OnlyFans sponsored HYROX athlete, how quickly audiences jump to moral judgments, and what it says about the state of the community. The core question remains whether HYROX is building a meaningful ecosystem or stretching the brand too far.

Amusement park folk hero, This American Life subject, air guitar champion, game show contestant, musician, podcaster, and relentless starter of creative projects.

John Wooley returns to the show to unpack why fitness racing has taken off and why CrossFit never fully leaned into a format that was right in front of it. We talk about how HYROX filled a gap for everyday athletes who wanted measurable competition without complex gymnastics, why certain body types thrive in fitness racing, and why HYROX training has proven more sustainable for long term health and performance than traditional CrossFit cycles. The conversation also covers judging standards, pacing mistakes, the appeal of age group podiums, and how athletes actually get smarter race to race. We then zoom out to the bigger picture. The CrossFit sale, shrinking affiliate numbers, media missteps, and whether newer projects like World Fitness Project can survive in a crowded fitness economy. Less hype, more honesty, and a clear look at what is actually working right now in fitness racing.

Matt and Cheryl break down the latest HYROX developments, including the new Elite 15 plum and black kits, what that does for sponsors trying to match colors, and why HYROX giving athletes 24 hours to respond to certain emails feels aggressive in a global sport. They get into doubles roll downs and reshuffled pairings, why doubles is harder to follow than singles, and the latest curveball: the HYROX cruise, its heavy marketing push, and the fine print that appears to limit participation to EU and UK permanent residents. The conversation also moves through a spoiler-heavy Pluribus discussion, the "agreeable AI" problem, and an unexpectedly useful detour into relationships, trust, and the idea of deposits and withdrawals. Topics include: HYROX Elite 15 kits and broadcast clarity Sponsor kit matching, hex codes, and enforcement The 24-hour email window and why roll downs carry real risk Doubles roll downs, partner swaps, and narrative challenges HYROX cruise details and residency restrictions Pluribus spoilers and agreeable AI The trust bank and the 5 to 1 ratio Guest Links:  Ugly Dave | Cheryl Snow | Listen on Apple or Spotify Support us through The Cup Of Coffee Follow Hybrid Fitness Media on IG

I talked with Lauren Weeks about a viral clip that questioned a judging call and what actually happened on the floor. We broke down lunge standards, what judges are looking for, how yellow cards are communicated, and why some calls look different on video than they feel in the moment. We also got into judging consistency, human error, and why certain movements like burpees are still the hardest to officiate cleanly. Then I was joined by the two guys behind XTRON Live to talk about their race format and why they built it the way they did. We covered their virtual seasons that qualify athletes for a free live final, how they score and monitor results, the 20 percent rule that forces people to back up their numbers on race day, and why keeping the event accessible in any gym matters to them. We also talked about where they're hosting finals, upcoming seasons, and what they're building next with Gym Wars.

Join Mike and Tim as they dive into a lively discussion about the essence of family, identity, and faith. In this episode, they explore the concept of "adoption to sonship" and how it redefines our understanding of belonging and community. With humor and depth, they challenge traditional views and invite listeners to consider a broader perspective on what it means to be part of a spiritual family. Tune in for an engaging conversation that blends theology with everyday life, all wrapped in the warmth of the holiday spirit. In this conversation, the hosts explore the themes of faith, family, and community within Christianity, emphasizing the importance of understanding God as a father and the implications of adoption and sonship. They discuss the cultural context of Jesus' teachings, the role of individualism versus community, and the concept of loyalty to God's family. The conversation also touches on the distinction between bounded and centered sets in faith, ultimately inviting listeners to engage in a communal journey of faith. Takeaways: Christian nationalism is alive and well. Father is a status word, not a gender word. To be a part of Jesus is to be a part of his people. Jesus is not your personal savior. We're playing soccer, not rugby. The early Christians did not sharply distinguish between commitment to God and commitment to God's family. Salvation is a social reunification. You cannot be a part of two groups. Loyalty to God is loyalty to God's people. We are playing soccer, not rugby.

They dig into the race-weekend structure in Dublin, the Portugal finale, shorter TRYKA 500 options, free affiliates, company divisions, and why RAMs replaced wall balls. Brian also breaks down ticket demand, AI squat-depth judging, standards for pros vs open athletes, UK expansion, and why TRYKA is leaning toward charity-based rewards instead of cash prizes. In part two, Samantha "Smoose" Faddis comes on to discuss life as a hybrid athlete and parent. She talks HYROX Anaheim and Phoenix, whether DC is still in play, recovery challenges between races, and where she thinks she can still gain real time.

Reality, Grief, and Hope: Our Posture of Lament challenges us to thoughtfully examine the intersection of faith and politics, exploring the role of the church in society amidst cultural challenges. From some of the greats (Walter Brueggemann and D Willy), we're able to map out a posture to hold in these time.

In this episode of the Voxology Podcast, Mike Erre and Tim Stafford unpack the complexities of Christian nationalism, drawing parallels between biblical prophetic critiques and modern-day issues. Through a lens of cruciformity, they discuss how the teachings of Jesus call us to navigate cultural issues with humility, justice, and critical thinking. The hosts engage in an honest conversation about the importance of lament, naming uncomfortable truths, and pursuing hope in a divided world. From the misuse of religious rhetoric to the church's prophetic responsibility, this episode invites listeners to wrestle with questions of faith, politics, and the transformative power of Jesus' example. As cultural norms shift, how can Christians embody the way of Christ without compromising integrity and compassion?

Prize money for the new Elite 15 LCQ is confirmed, and the upcoming Puma HYROX shoe gets early reactions from the crew. Thanksgiving running gets recapped, including Matt's brutal Atlanta hills, Cheryl's short but steep four miler, and Dave's classic run together move that ended with him sprinting away 500 meters in. DEKA China looked unreal with smoke, lighting, a full stage finish, and huge production value. Now the focus shifts to Fort Lauderdale as Dave heads down Wednesday for DEKA Worlds. He is judging, he is racing multiple events, and everyone wants to see how the FIT fields stack up on a fully judged floor. The show covers who is in form, what the judging will look like, what production pieces DEKA needs to nail, and why athletes should film their full race if they want clean evidence for disputes. Plenty of laughs, plenty of inside jokes, and a lot of excitement heading into one of the biggest weekends of the DEKA season.

Jamie Filer Topics • Rates, value, and the tension around telling your spouse to raise their prices • Jamie's path from bodybuilding dot com live coverage to editor in chief of a Canadian muscle magazine • Building the "anxious lesbian" niche and why mental health has to be part of coaching • Eating disorders, control, and how strength training replaced calorie counting • Hybrid athletes, aging, and stacking habits for mental health • Subaru jokes, U Hauls, queer language, and why "lesbian" still matters • Cancel culture, old tweets, and why neither of you is afraid of getting canceled over silliness • How Matt actually uses ChatGPT as a business coach, therapist, and sparring partner Bianca Sierra Topics • Bianca's journey from Auburn to the Mexican national team and the NWSL • Playing in Norway and Iceland, pregnancy, ACL rehab, and the lack of postpartum support • Starting the Madre Movement in Monterrey to help moms return to sport • Discovering HYROX post-retirement and winning her first race in Mexico City • Breaking down her splits, sled technique, burpees, and why altitude smashed everyone • Plans for pro weights, triathlon, and finding a second competitive career Summary: Matt sits down with two guests who rebuilt their athletic identities in completely different ways. First, coach and creator Jamie Filer talks about being an "anxious lesbian," the Subaru/U-Haul cultural clichés, and how she turned bodybuilding media work into a strength-focused coaching business with mental health at the center. Matt and Jamie get into cancel culture, pricing, marriage dynamics, and how ChatGPT unintentionally became part business advisor, part emotional support. Then former pro footballer Bianca Sierra joins from Monterrey to tell her story: choosing Auburn over swimming, representing Mexico, grinding through the NWSL as a trialist, tearing her ACL on the morning she thought would be her last match before pregnancy, and navigating a postpartum comeback with almost no support. She explains how she started the Madre Movement for women, discovered HYROX through a gym invite, and ended up winning her first race overall at altitude in Mexico City. They talk about identity, retirement, training, and finding a new way to compete after leaving professional football.

Jesus redefined God as "Father," inviting us to engage with faith, justice, and the church's role in society. This episode explores how the concept of "Father" in the Lord's Prayer shifts from an ancient patriarchal lens to a radical, relational, and restorative vision of God. Through powerful storytelling, the hosts unpack Jesus' redefinition of "Father" as a term of intimacy, love, and belonging—challenging cultural hierarchies and calling the church to embody cruciformity in community. Dive into nuanced discussions about Christianity, faith, and theology while reflecting on the intersection of cultural issues, justice, and the teachings of Jesus. Together, the hosts wrestle with navigating cultural challenges, addressing Christian nationalism, and envisioning a faith that uplifts rather than marginalizes.

What is God's will for humanity? Is it found in Genesis 1 and 2, or does Genesis 3 reveal something deeper? In this episode, Mike and Tim tackle "The Mystery of God's Will" by unpacking Genesis 3 and exploring how God's ideal will contrasts with the realities of a fallen world. With a focus on themes like cruciformity, faith, and navigating cultural challenges, the conversation dives into questions about suffering, the role of ideologies, and how theology shapes our understanding of justice and faith. The hosts discuss how God's will operates within suboptimal conditions, the complexities of prayer, and how Jesus challenges simplistic moral frameworks. They also examine the role of the church in society and the intersections of faith and politics, offering insights on how Christians can engage with cultural issues while holding space for mystery, tension, and humility in their faith. Join the conversation as they challenge common assumptions about God's nature, human suffering, and the role of theology in understanding our world.
