What does it really mean to follow Jesus? In this week's episode of P.D. and P-Dubs Unscripted, the pastors take a deep dive into Matthew 4:12–25 — the calling of the first disciples. From the shores of Galilee to the mending of nets, they explore what it looks like to leave behind comfort and take up Christ's invitation to grow in faith and become “fishers of men.”You'll hear laughter, genuine conversation, and even a few lighthearted tangents about winter weather and Tom Skilling before the discussion turns to what faith looks like when life gets cold and uncertain. Whether you've been a Christian your whole life or you're just starting to explore what it means to follow Jesus, this unscripted chat will encourage you to keep trusting, keep growing, and keep walking in His light.Join Pastors Donald (“P.D.”) and Warren (“P-Dubs”) as they talk honestly about discipleship, doubt, and the everyday call to faith. Because following Jesus isn't always easy—but it's always worth it.

Nick brings Hollywood Reporter TV critic Dan Fienberg back for a fresh round of TV talk, starting with the latest SNL episodes and the unexpected charm of “Pluribus.” Dan runs through his newest reviews, including the Netflix western “The Abandons” with Gillian Anderson and the HBO Max hockey drama and love story “Heated Rivalry,” and he offers an early look at the wonderfully unhinged HBO comedy special “Sarah Squirm: Live + In The Flesh.” They also size up the newly announced 2025 Golden Globe nominations across TV and film. Esmeralda Leon joins Nick afterward for a gleefully odd detour into the history of radiators and how these clunky metal giants actually heat a home. That leads to stories about terrible landlords, the misery of board meetings, and even a memorable Tom Skilling moment that sneaks in before the laughter dies down. [Ep 410]
