It’s Tuesday, October 20, and *A Case of the Mondays is back with a special Tuesday edition!* Luke, TJ, Producer Brandon, and Alex are in the studio for another episode packed with faith, family, fatherhood, freedom, and plenty of foolery. From fall break adventures at Petit Jean State Park and Silver Dollar City roller coasters to dinosaur debates, Lego sets, and the internet questioning our knowledge of President Chester A. Arthur, the guys cover a little bit of everything. They also talk books, Bible reading, raising kids, and why spending time in God’s Word matters—even when the people who knew Scripture best sometimes missed the bigger picture. Then Alex returns with another **Gen Z Movie Review**, this time taking on Mel Gibson’s *We Were Soldiers*. He shares what stood out about the realities of war, the sacrifices of military service, and the importance of surrounding yourself with good people when life gets tough. Plus, find out the movie’s official Lighthouse Score! In This Episode: Fall break adventures, birthday celebrations, and family time Hiking Petit Jean and exploring Russellville’s new trail Silver Dollar City, roller coasters, and kids conquering their fears Dinosaur facts, Lego debates, and the mystery of Chester A.

It’s Monday, October 12, and **A Case of the Mondays is back!** Luke, TJ, Producer Brandon, and returning guest Wes Akers are in the studio for another episode full of faith, family, fatherhood, and a whole lot of random. From weekend adventures at Silver Dollar City and youth sports chaos to Razorbacks football, National Farmer’s Day, Columbus Day, and some questionable Halloween decorations, the guys cover a little bit of everything. Plus, the conversation takes a few unexpected turns into history, sailing the open ocean, and why we’re all so dependent on Google Maps! But beyond the laughs, this episode gets into what matters most: **being an example for your kids, practicing what you preach, and faithfully doing the right thing in everyday life.** The guys talk about lessons from Esther and Daniel, the importance of ordinary faithfulness, and how God can use simple, everyday obedience for a much bigger purpose. ### In This Episode: - Weekend recaps: Silver Dollar City, Branson, the aquarium, and youth sports - A personal-best 5K and a kid’s first full mile - Parenting wins, fails, and leading by example - Reading the Bible, raising kids in faith, and finding time for family - Lessons from Esther, Daniel, and the Old Testament - Why ordinary faithfulness and a simple life are underrated - National Farmer’s Day, National Kick Butt Day, and more - Columbus Day, Indigenous Peoples’ Day, and the courage of early explorers - Halloween decorations, spooky displays, and friendly ghosts - A little history, a little humor, and plenty of foolery **Know what’s right.

It’s Monday, and the guys are back for another episode of A Case of the Mondays! Luke, TJ, Lucas, and Producer Brandon recap their weekends, talk youth sports, family life, football, fall activities, and somehow end up debating daylight savings time, flat Earth theories, Noah’s Ark, the pyramids, and everything in between. But underneath all the random, there’s plenty of meaningful conversation about faith, fatherhood, discipline, and trusting God when life gets hard. In This Episode: Weekend recaps, baseball, soccer, pumpkin patches, and Silver Dollar City Youth sports and the journey from “travel ball dad” to a more relaxed approach Dad wins, dad fails, and learning to let kids have fun Daylight savings time and the question: why do we still change the clocks? Flat Earth, rainbows, and some seriously random conversations Noah’s Ark, ancient discoveries, pyramids, and biblical archaeology What the guys are reading and learning Faith, trials, discipline, and why doing hard things can make us stronger Rethinking what it means to be “blessed” Bringing your kids to Jesus and trusting God like a child Money, possessions, eternity, and living a simpler life The guys also talk about the connection between physical discipline and spiritual discipline, why comfort can make us complacent, and how trials can produce endurance and steadfastness. As always, it’s a little faith, a little family, a little fatherhood, and a lot of random. Know what’s right. Do what’s right.

🎙️ A Case of the Mondays – Episode 29 Rabies This week, the guys are back with world travel stories, birthdays, baseball, football, money, faith, old-school nostalgia, and—because it’s World Rabies Day—a surprisingly long conversation about one of the oldest and most terrifying diseases known to man. Lucas is back from traveling around the world and gives his unofficial one-star Google review of Paris after lost luggage, unhelpful airport workers, and an unexpected trip into the city. The guys also recap birthdays, the Savannah Bananas, Buc-ee’s, the Cyclones finally breaking their losing streak, and another weekend of football frustration. Then the conversation turns more serious. The guys talk about money, materialism, and the danger of letting financial security become a substitute for trusting God. From 1 Timothy 6 to the idea of serving God versus mammon, the challenge is to recognize when money starts promising the comfort, security, and peace that should ultimately come from Christ. There’s also a lesson from Nehemiah 3: sometimes the right thing to do is simply jump in and help. Goldsmiths, perfume makers, and everyday people all helped rebuild the wall—not because it was their profession, but because it was the work that needed to be done. And then… rabies. The guys dive into World Rabies Day, rabid dogs, bats, squirrels, tetanus, lockjaw, scary childhood warnings, and whether loose dogs in town should be tolerated at all. Somehow that leads into calling the old time-and-temperature phone number, remembering TV Guide, the Pickwood movie line, Schwan’s trucks, Kid Cuisines, and growing up in the 1900s. Plus: ✈️ Paris, Hong Kong, lost luggage, and traveling around the world 🎂 Birthday weekends and middle-aged celebrations ⚾ Savannah Bananas at Globe Life Field 🐗 Razorbacks, Cowboys, Cyclones, and Arkansas Tech 💰 Money, materialism, mammon, and trusting God instead of wealth 📖 Nehemiah and the importance of doing what needs to be done 🧱 “That’s not my job” vs. stepping up and helping 🐕 World Rabies Day and why loose dogs make everybody nervous 🦇 Bats, squirrels, rabid animals, tetanus, and lockjaw ☎️ Calling time and temperature like it’s 1997 📺 TV Guide, movie hotlines, Schwan’s trucks, and 1900s nostalgia 🎬 Nuremberg, The Big Short, and The Breadwinner Sometimes the lesson is complicated. Sometimes it’s pretty simple: Know what’s right. Do what’s right. Jump in. Do the work. And trust the Lord more than your money. A little bit of faith, a little bit of family, and a whole lot of randomness.    Pasted text 👊 CONNECT WITH US 👍 Like & Subscribe for weekly episodes! 💬 Comment below: What’s something your parents scared you about growing up—rabies, tetanus, lockjaw, or something else? 🎧 LISTEN ON PODCAST Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

It's Monday, and we've got a full crew in the studio for another episode of Case of the Mondays! This week, Luke, Brandon, TJ, and special guest Brandon Mistler catch up on their weekends, talk football, parenting, church camp memories, and the importance of being present with your family. We also celebrate National New York Day with some questionable geography, explore the origins of the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes, discuss iconic New York food and traditions, and take a nostalgic trip through the world of MapQuest, disposable cameras, and classic sitcoms. Plus, Alex is back with another Gen Z Movie Review, this time tackling the 1995 Disney comedy Heavyweights. Will it earn a spot among the classics? You'll have to watch to find out! In This Episode: Weekend recaps: dove hunting, baseball tournaments, fishing, and running milestones Razorbacks, Ole Miss, and college football talk National Days: Chai, pecan cookies, pepper jack cheese, and more Celebrating National New York Day Parenting lessons: Are you a hummingbird or a buzzard?

🎙️ A Case of the Mondays – Episode 27 Boss and Employee Switch Day This week, the guys are back with birthday stories, trail races, kids’ sports, Razorback disappointment, CiCi’s Pizza, dove hunting, and one very important question: What would happen if the boss and employee switched places for a day? National Boss and Employee Exchange Day gets the guys talking about what actually makes a good boss—and what makes a good employee. The consensus? Good leaders give people room to do their job, lead by example, and focus on the goal instead of micromanaging every move. And on the employee side, being coachable, teachable, and willing to ask questions goes a long way. The conversation even connects back to Scripture as the guys talk about Daniel being faithful and dependable even while serving under an ungodly king. Sometimes the way you work, lead, and carry yourself can point people toward God more than you realize. Lucas also continues digging into materialism and the danger of measuring God’s blessing by how much money or stuff we have. The reminder is simple: possessions aren’t proof that we’re doing life right, and money was never meant to be the thing that gives us joy. And because this is A Case of the Mondays, all of that somehow shares an episode with Arkansas football, professional sports, hoagies, Virginia, Iceland, youth football, and a Gen Z review of The Prestige. Plus: 🎂 Birthday weekends and “middle-class fancy” Olive Garden 🏃 Running the Grit and Guts trail race at Mount Nebo ⚽ Coaching 6U soccer and keeping unofficial score 🕊️ Dove hunting and accusations of never getting invited 🍕 CiCi’s Pizza, arcades, and childhood birthday memories 🐗 Another painful weekend of Arkansas football 🏈 Why Arkansas Tech football might be the new safe place 👔 What makes a good boss and a good employee 🙏 Daniel, faithfulness, and trusting that God keeps His promises 💰 Materialism, money, and where real joy comes from 🥪 Hoagies, Philadelphia, Virginia, Maine, and Iceland 🎬 Gen Z Movie Review: The Prestige 🪄 Revenge, obsession, and one very complicated ending At the end of the day, whether you’re the boss or the employee, the same things matter: be dependable, stay teachable, do your work well, and remember who you ultimately represent.

🎙️ A Case of the Mondays – Episode 26 Managing Expectations Labor Day pushed the podcast to Tuesday this week, but apparently you can still have a pretty serious case of the Mondays on a Tuesday. The guys recap a long Labor Day weekend filled with Branson, jet skis, Silver Dollar City, golf tournaments, college football, family time, and a pretty major milestone as Deacon takes on his first real grown-up roller coaster at Powder Keg. Then college football takes over. Arkansas got the win, but apparently winning isn’t enough for everybody. The guys talk Ryan Silverfield, offensive struggles, fan expectations, how many games the Razorbacks might actually win, and why sometimes you just need to give people a chance before declaring the season over. The conversation eventually gets a little more important as the guys talk about what they’ve been reading in Ezra, Nehemiah, Hosea, John, and Exodus. One takeaway keeps coming back: listen, obey, trust what God has promised, and get after what He has called you to do. Don’t let opposition—or a bunch of poopy pants—keep you from doing what you know you’re supposed to do. There’s also some dad talk about technology, video games, electric bikes, letting kids take healthy risks, and the realization that once you introduce something into your house, you may have created a whole new argument you didn’t have before. And Alex is back for the Gen Z Movie Review with The Usual Suspects, one of the biggest plot-twist movies of the ’90s—and somehow that leads to The Prestige, Keyser Soze, and Moe’s salsa. Alex gives it a 7.7 out of 10 lighthouses. Plus: 🎢 Deacon takes on Powder Keg at Silver Dollar City 🌊 Getting trapped on a jet ski for three hours 🏌️ Labor Day golf tournaments and bachelor-weekend energy 🏈 Arkansas football, Ryan Silverfield, and realistic expectations 🐗 How many games do the Razorbacks actually win? 📖 Ezra, Nehemiah, Hosea, John, Exodus, and getting into God’s Word 🙏 Trust the promises of God and get after it 🎮 Why delaying video games might save you a few arguments later 🚲 Electric bikes and whether kids still need to pedal 🖖 Star Trek: somehow nerdier than Star Wars 🌀 CERN, Mandela Effects, ampersands, and other completely necessary discussions 🎬 Gen Z Movie Review: The Usual Suspects 🥸 And apparently Luke looks taller on camera Sometimes our biggest problem isn’t what actually happened—it’s what we expected to happen.

🎙️ Trail Mix | A Case of the Mondays – Episode 25 This week, the guys are back with another episode full of family, faith, parenting, trail mix, questionable food science, baseball, old movies, and the usual amount of completely unnecessary rabbit trails. The conversation starts with names, cursive handwriting, wallpaper, youth baseball, Silver Dollar City, burgers, smoked salsa, and enjoying one of those rare weekends where the weather finally starts to feel a little like fall. Then things get more serious. The guys talk about materialism, the anxiety that can come from chasing more, and the danger of letting money, possessions, comfort, or success become something we depend on more than God. They also reflect on Romans 8, trusting God when we don’t even know what to pray, and the reminder that God is working even when we can’t see what He is doing. That leads into another big parenting conversation: redeeming the time. Whether it’s mowing the yard, golfing, working on projects, catching frogs, or picking up sticks, the challenge is to bring your kids along instead of always trying to get things done faster without them. The guys also talk about the importance of finishing well. Reading through Chronicles is full of examples of people who started faithfully, became comfortable or prideful, and eventually fell away. And when you’re leading a family, your decisions rarely affect just you. Then, naturally, the conversation turns to National Trail Mix Day. Plus: ⚾ Youth baseball tournaments and why parents need to calm down 🎢 Facing fears at Silver Dollar City 🍔 The debate over the best burger in town 🌶️ Smoked salsa and Meat Church recipes 📚 Ruth, Ecclesiastes, Chronicles, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, and graphic novels for kids 💰 Materialism, anxiety, and treating money as a tool instead of an idol 🙏 Romans 8 and trusting God when you don’t know what to pray 👨‍👧‍👦 Redeeming the time and bringing your kids along 🪵 Paying kids to pick up sticks 🥜 National Trail Mix Day, GORP, Scroggin, and indulgent trail mix 🚑 A scary childhood food-allergy story involving trail mix 🏃 Why you should probably start running—and definitely stretch 👽 Gen Z Movie Review: Signs 🎬 Aliens, crop circles, M. Night Shyamalan, and “nothing happens for no reason” Sometimes the most important thing isn’t getting the job done as quickly as possible. Sometimes it’s slowing down, bringing your kids with you, trusting God with the outcome, and making sure you finish well.

🎙️ **A Case of the Mondays – Episode 24** **Waffles** This week, the guys somehow go from parent-kid golf, bounce houses nearly headed to Oz, and reading *The Hobbit* with their kids to materialism, generosity, National Waffle Day, and a full-blown debate over one of life’s great questions: **Pancakes or waffles?** The guys recap a busy weekend of golf, baseball, church events, and family time before getting into what they’ve been reading and learning. That conversation takes a more serious turn as they talk about faithfully following God, the danger of pride and materialism, and how easy it is to slowly become attached to comfort and possessions without even realizing it. They also talk about generosity, financial margin, and the freedom that comes from remembering that what we have ultimately isn’t ours. Sometimes the best way to loosen money’s grip on us is simply to give some of it away. Then things get much less serious. National Waffle Day launches an unnecessarily passionate debate over waffles versus pancakes, Chick-fil-A chicken and waffles, Eggo’s original name, Waffle House, stroopwafels, waffle irons, and the surprising connection between waffles and the creation of Nike shoes. And to wrap things up, the Gen Z Movie Review takes on **National Treasure**—Nicolas Cage, the Declaration of Independence, hidden clues, Freemasons, treasure hunts, and why adventure stories never really get old. **Plus:** ⛳ Parent-kid golf and managing expectations 🌪️ A Back to School Bash that nearly sent bounce houses to Oz 📚 The Hobbit, Ashtown Burials, and reading with your kids 🙏 Faithfulness, obedience, and trusting God with the outcome 💰 Materialism, generosity, and creating financial margin 🧇 The great pancake vs. waffle debate 🐔 Chicken and waffles and Chick-fil-A excitement 👟 How a waffle iron helped inspire Nike’s famous sole design 🥞 Eggo waffles were originally called “Froffles” 🏴‍☠️ Why everybody loves a good treasure hunt 🎬 A Gen Z review of *National Treasure* Sometimes we can control the effort, but we can’t control the outcome. Sometimes we need to loosen our grip on our stuff. And sometimes… we just need to admit that waffles are better than pancakes.

🎙️ **A Case of the Mondays – Episode 23** **Thrift Stores** This week, Alex joins the guys in the studio as the conversation moves from garage sales, lemonade stands, baseball history, and wallpaper projects to a much bigger question: **what is actually worth holding on to?** Lucas recaps Bargains Galore on 64, where a pile of stuff headed for the trash somehow turned into hundreds of dollars—and a lemonade stand became an unexpected opportunity to start teaching his daughter about giving, saving, and investing. The guys also dive into National Thrift Shop Day, the strange thrill of finding something valuable hidden among somebody else’s junk, old books and collectibles, secondhand sports gear, and why thrift shopping is basically a grown-up treasure hunt. But the conversation eventually turns toward a different kind of value. While reading through 2 Chronicles, one pattern keeps showing up: people who faithfully follow God experience His blessing, but success can slowly turn into comfort, complacency, and pride. The challenge is simple—**don’t just start well. Finish well.** Along the way, the guys talk about church leadership, the example we set in our homes, reading great stories with our kids, letting them use their imaginations, and remembering that even the loud and chaotic seasons of parenting won’t last forever. **Plus:** ⚾ One of the wildest starts to a Major League Baseball career 🍋 A kid-run lemonade stand and teaching children about money 💰 Turning unwanted stuff into $680 at Bargains Galore 🛍️ National Thrift Shop Day and the thrill of finding hidden treasure 📚 The Hobbit, Redwall, Wingfeather, and getting kids excited about great stories 🙏 Pride, complacency, obedience, and the importance of finishing well ⛪ What Scripture says about church leaders and being an example worth following 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Learning to appreciate the noise and chaos while the kids are still young 🎬 National Treasure, scary movies, and plenty of unexpected rabbit trails Sometimes the things worth keeping aren’t the things with the biggest price tag.

🎙️ A Case of the Mondays – Episode 22 10 Stitches and a Little Faith This week, the guys are back with an episode that somehow goes from a Superman-style pool dive ending in 10 stitches to s’mores, football memories, childhood movies, and a conversation about what it means to have a little faith. The guys recap their weekends, revisit some of the strange memories of traveling during COVID, debate the difference between getting much-needed rest and just being lazy, and share stories from their days playing sports—including why cross-country may not be for everyone. Then the conversation turns to Angels in the Outfield and one of the biggest takeaways from the movie: pray with expectation. Sometimes faith means believing, sticking with it, and trusting even when what you believe sounds a little crazy to everyone else. Plus: 🤕 A pool dive that ends with 10 stitches 😴 National Lazy Day and the difference between rest and laziness 🔥 National S’mores Day and the proper way to make a s’more 🏈 Football, cross-country, and sports memories ✈️ Remembering what travel was like during COVID ⛪ Kids learning about Jesus and the things they pick up at church 🎬 Revisiting Angels in the Outfield 🙏 Praying with expectation and sticking to what you believe From stitches and s’mores to sports, family, and faith, it's another conversation that goes just about everywhere—and somehow finds its way to something that matters. 🔥 MEN’S WEEKEND WARRIOR Guys, don’t forget about the upcoming Men’s Weekend Warrior at FBC Russellville! 📅 September 19 ⏰ 5:00–9:00 PM Come hang out for an evening built for men to connect, have a good time, and be encouraged in their faith. 👉 Learn more & sign up: FBC Russellville – Weekend Warrior 👊 CONNECT WITH US 👍 Like & Subscribe for weekly episodes! 💬 Comment below: What’s a childhood movie you can still watch today? 🎧 LISTEN ON PODCAST Apple: A Case of the Mondays on Apple Podcasts Spotify: A Case of the Mondays on Spotify 📺 WATCH MORE A Case of the Mondays YouTube Channel 📱 FOLLOW US Instagram: @acaseofthemondayspod TikTok: @acaseofthemondayspod 🔥 ABOUT THE SHOW We're just regular guys—dads, business owners, and friends—talking about faith, family, work, and life in a world that feels increasingly fake.

🎙️ Ep. 21 Eternity Starts Now | A Case of the Mondays Podcast This week, the original crew is back together for a conversation that begins with fast-food rankings, bike rides, golf struggles, and ’90s nostalgia before arriving at a much bigger question: What if eternal life isn’t something that begins after we die? If eternal life is truly eternal, then it has already started. That changes how we approach our faith, families, work, uncertainty, and the ordinary decisions we make every day. Instead of waiting for life to begin, we can trust what God has promised and live with purpose right now. The guys also have an honest conversation about parenting, discipline, losing patience, apologizing to their children, and how their wives help them become better fathers. They discuss trusting God when life doesn’t make sense, resisting the pull of materialism, and following God’s design even when it conflicts with the culture around us. Then Alex reviews Gladiator and explores what Maximus teaches us about character, leadership, sacrifice, and earning respect through the way we live. Plus: 🍟 Ranking fast-food fries, sauces, and chicken restaurants 🚲 Bike rides, parenting struggles, and learning when to push our kids 📼 Answering machines, video stores, TV Guide, and ’90s nostalgia 📱 How convenience and technology have changed everyday life 👨‍👩‍👧 Parenting with discipline, patience, humility, and grace 💍 How husbands and wives help one another become better parents 💰 Materialism, comfort, and choosing family over more stuff 🙏 Trusting God through uncertainty when life doesn’t make sense ♾️ Why eternal life isn’t only something waiting for us later 🎬 Alex’s Gen Z Movie Review of Gladiator Eternal life doesn’t begin someday.

🎙️ Ep. 20 Kindness Costs Nothing | A Case of the Mondays Podcast This week the guys welcome Tracey to the podcast for the first time! What starts as a conversation about sports cards, softball tournaments, vacations, golf, and Magic Springs slowly unfolds into something much deeper. As the stories pile up, the conversation naturally lands on kindness—not just toward strangers, but toward the people who matter most. The guys share honest parenting moments, talk about learning patience with their kids, discuss the importance of Southern hospitality, reflect on the sacrifices of our veterans, and are reminded that the smallest acts of kindness often leave the biggest impact. Like every episode, the destination wasn't planned, but by the end, one truth became clear: Kindness costs nothing, but it can change everything.

🎙️ A Case of the Mondays – Episode 19 Looking Up Instead of Looking Down This week the guys are back together for another round of conversations that somehow go from camping mishaps and Home Run Derby highlights to the moon landing, conspiracy theories, parenting, and why our phones may be stealing more from us than we realize. Lucas shares a camping trip that started at the wrong campground, a weekend spent disconnected from technology, and a simple moment reading Proverbs with his daughter that became one of the biggest wins of the week. The conversation turns into a challenge for all of us to spend less time looking down at our screens and more time looking up—at our families, God's creation, and the moments that really matter. Along the way, the guys react to YouTube comments, debate whether bicycle kicks are really that difficult, relive college memories of Little Caesars and Taco Bell, discuss National Moon Day, and wander into one of their favorite rabbit trails on government conspiracies. As always, it's a little bit of faith, a little bit of family, and a whole lot of randomness.

🎙️ A Case of the Mondays – Episode 18 Influence Matters (with Kent "Kat" McCoy & Wes Akers) This week we're joined by special guests Kent "Kat" McCoy and Wes Akers for a conversation about influence, intentional parenting, faith, and the people who shape the next generation. The guys recap family adventures to Petit Jean State Park, anniversary trips to Branson, Dude Perfect Live, and life with newborns before diving into a bigger conversation about the influence we have as husbands, fathers, friends, and followers of Christ. Along the way, we discuss raising kids, making the most of every season, Christian voices in culture, the impact of Promise Keepers, Revelation's seven churches, marriage, conviction from the Holy Spirit, and why the little moments with our families often become the ones that matter most. Whether it's dancing with your daughter before work, hiking with your kids, or watching role models point the next generation toward Jesus, this episode is a reminder that influence matters—and that the way we live today shapes the people around us for years to come.
