Jake is back to talk about the fruit of the spirit he had to work hardest at. As our series on the fruits of the spirit continues, Morgan and Leslie dig into kindness and gentleness with Jake. They talk about why being nice isn't the same as being kind, why hard conversations can be the kindest ones, and what led to Jake's "year of gentleness." Plus, how Jake and Emily keep their relationship on track and why Jake thinks there's no such thing as a good breakup.

Tessa Armstrong (@tessaarmstrong8) is a therapist, women's Bible study leader, and author of Identity Forged in Fire, a brand new six-week Bible study on identity. She came on to talk about all of it. In this episode, Morgan and Leslie dig into what it actually means to take every thought captive, why the "protect your peace" mindset might be missing the point, and how Tessa found her way out of an eating disorder by learning to replace lies with truth at the root level instead of relying on willpower. Plus, Tessa's husband's six-year battle with addiction, what it looks like to pray for someone without giving up, and the neuroscience that confirms what scripture already said about renewing your mind.

What if the thing you were most afraid of turned out to be the thing that made you most yourself? In this special birthday episode, Morgan and Leslie reflect on their biggest personal growth moments from the past year — the hard stuff, the surprising stuff, and the small daily habits that quietly changed everything — plus what they're actually looking forward to in the year ahead.

We all have that person in our lives we're convinced just needs to change — and we have a very clear plan for how. In this episode, Morgan and Leslie dig into patience as a fruit of the Spirit and why trying to control someone else's growth might say more about your faith than theirs.

Peace isn't the absence of chaos — it's the ability to be steady in the middle of it. In part three of their Fruit of the Spirit series, Morgan and Leslie get honest about the times they chased peace in all the wrong places, why "I don't have peace about that" is a phrase worth examining, and what it really means to live from a place of genuine, Spirit-given peace.

We get into the difference between joy and happiness, why joy actually holds up when life is hard, and why the church is really good at weeping with people but not so good at rejoicing with them.

We get into why the rapture might not actually be a biblical concept, the Calvinism vs. Arminianism debate broken down without the headache, whether the classic "Satan's fall" story is even in scripture, and where the gift of tongues fits in all of it.

We get into why loving people actually feels so hard right now, what happens when you're only keeping score of how loved you feel, and how holding onto unforgiveness is quietly wrecking your closeness with God.

Everyone is "maxxing" rn, so are we.  Rituals we swear by, why Leslie is Bible maxxing, why Morgan is Holy Spirit maxxing, and the take on chlorine water that we should probably not have aired.

A fresh take on the popular trend, Morgan and Leslie tackle things we currently thing are “chic” and it may not be what you expect…

Pastor Brannon Shortt is back by popular demand and no topic is off limits. We get into biblical dating, what to do when the person you like is already dating someone else, why you shouldn't date someone who doesn't share your faith, and Brandon's take on the SBC's recent decision on women in ministry. Buckle up.

Dannah Gresh joins us for a conversation we didn't know how much we needed. Author of And the Bride Wore White, Dannah walks us through what purity culture got right, what it got wrong, and how to untangle the shame, silence, and mixed messages so many of us are still carrying. Whether you're single, engaged, married, or somewhere in between, this one is honest, freeing, and full of grace.

Artist, author, and mom of six boys Ruth Chou Simons joins us to talk about finding God in the ordinary, unglamorous middle of everyday life. We get into her surprisingly freeing unpopular opinion (anyone can wear any color), why she's learned to "look up" instead of down, how marriage and motherhood have shaped her faith, and the heart behind her new book This Moment Matters.

Fan-favorite guest Amy Zielsdorf joins us to tackle the question that keeps us all up at night: what am I doing with my life? We dig into why "if it's hard, you shouldn't do it" is terrible advice, how work and rest were always meant to go together, and why your primary calling isn't your job at all. Whether you're grinding too hard or quietly wondering if you're wasting your one wild and precious life, this one's for you.

Something we have all experienced in life is: rejection. Whether it’s from friendships, dating relationships, family, etc. We can choose to either take that on or turn it for good.
