What’s really happening in the streets of Minneapolis? In this episode of What the Hell Do I Know with JB, I sit down with Minnesota pastor and community leader Doug Pagitt to talk about federal immigration enforcement, ICE operations, faith, freedom, and what it means to love your neighbor in complicated times. This conversation isn’t about left vs. right. It’s about wrestling honestly with the tension between security, liberty, and what Jesus calls us to do. We discuss: ICE operations in Minneapolis The “retribution” controversy Immigration policy and federal power Christian responsibility in divided times What does love require of us? Whether you agree or disagree, this episode is about having the conversation. 🎙 Follow & Connect 🌐 Website: https://www.thejabronis.com 📸 JB on Instagram: @_jason_becker 📸 Doug Pagitt on Instagram: @dougpagitt 🤝 Sponsors This episode is brought to you by: TrueNorth Pest Control - trunorthpest.com Floorzz - floorzz.com  Interested in sponsoring the show?

This is my first-ever solo episode of What the Hell Do I Know with JB — and it’s different. Ep. 69 Today marks 25 years of marriage to my wife Danielle, and instead of doing a normal interview, I sat alone in the studio and reflected honestly on what marriage has taught me: the mistakes, the selfishness, the grace, the counseling, the hard conversations, and the moments that almost broke us — and the ones that saved us. This episode isn’t expert advice. It’s earned wisdom. If you’re: thinking about marriage newly married deep in the grind of kids and careers wondering if it’s worth fighting for …this one’s for you. 🎙 Topics we get into: Why marriage isn’t a fairy tale (and why that lie hurts people) The selfish version of me that almost cost my marriage How ambition and work can quietly erode intimacy Why counseling earlier would’ve changed everything What real love actually looks like after decades The difference between happiness and formation What I’d tell my kids — and your kids — about marriage 🤝 Sponsors (support the people who support the show): Floorzz 👉 https://www.floorzz.com Quality flooring for restoration, remodels, and new builds — shipped nationwide.

In this episode of What the Hell Do I Know with JB, I sit down with Danny Oz and Joe Shiloh — two immigrants who came to America and built their lives from the ground up. Danny shares what it really looks like to leave your country with nothing but hunger, faith, and a work ethic that doesn’t quit. He came to the U.S. with $2,000 cash, no English, and no safety net — and still found a way to survive, adapt, and win.  We talk about: The immigrant mindset (pressure, pride, survival mode) Why immigrants often outwork everyone Learning to build trust after betrayal What it takes to go from “new in America” → “business owner” Danny’s belief that ego will destroy you if you don’t control it  Today, Danny and Joe are building Danny Keys 30A — bringing premium locksmith and door hardware service to the Emerald Coast. 🔑 Danny Keys 30A 🌐 www.dannykeys30a.com Danny Oz: @danny44oz Joe Shiloh: dannykeys30a.com  Sponsors 🛡️ TruNorth Pest Control www.trunorthpest.com  🧼 Floorzz www.floorzz.com  If you believe in hard work, sacrifice, and building something real from nothing — this episode is for you. 👇 Comment your story: Where are you (or your family) from, and what did you have to overcome to make it here? #ImmigrantMindset #Entrepreneurship #BusinessPodcast #WhatTheHellDoIKnowWithJB #30A

Season 3 kicks off with a powerful and timely conversation. In Episode #065 of What the Hell Do I Know with JB, we sit down with Megan Hampton, Christian counselor, parenting educator, and founder of Soul Care for Families, for an honest discussion on Christian parenting, discipline, grace, and emotional regulation. Megan breaks down: What the Bible actually says about discipline Why “spare the rod” is often misunderstood How parents unintentionally pass anxiety and stress to their kids What co-regulation really means Why “good enough parenting” only requires getting it right about 40% of the time How Jesus modeled love, mercy, and patience toward children This episode is a must-listen for: ✔️ Christian parents ✔️ Parents questioning traditional discipline models ✔️ Families wanting healthier emotional dynamics ✔️ Anyone trying to lead with grace instead of fear Megan blends biblical theology, psychology, and real-world parenting tools into a compassionate approach that challenges old assumptions — without shame or condemnation.
