82: Rest
In response to a listener's question we talk about the steps to resting in life. Plus fake Christmas, real Christmas, leprechauns and AJ gets a bike. Also, we float the question, "if you could listen to the live recording of the show, would you wa...
81: Hard Work
To quote Stephen King: "What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work." This week we look at the wisdom in working hard right now for your future you (despite right now not looking anything like what you want...
80: Questions & Answers
We answer listeners' questions about sexiness, once saved always saved, alone time and hearing God's voice. Plus Alyn's thinking about getting a bike and wants a pastry named after himself. All in all, a pretty normal week.
79: Thankful
And we're back! Thanksgiving is over but not forgotten. This week we think through the three things we are most thankful for. AJ gives a quick review of the iPad Pro, Pencil and Smart Keyboard and Alyn prays for an impartation of the kindness of God.
78: Happy Thanksgiving
We're taking a rest this week and enjoying some downtime with family for thanksgiving. While we're away from the normal schedule, we have some very special guests to talk to you about the wonders of Thanksgiving. We'll see you next week!

76: Life Languages Part 1
This week we talk about the best communication profile we've come across and the traits of the life languages we are most fluent in. That made no sense? Don't worry, we explain it this episode. Listen to save money off your own life language profi...
75: Awe
If we told you that this episode featured someone who speaks 17 languages (15 of which were given to him supernaturally by God) and is familiar with a life of miracles would you believe us? What about someone who has seen eight people raised from ...
74: Future Proofed Marriage
Recorded a few hours after performing a wedding, we talk about how to future proof marriages and the key ingredients in staying married. Alyn has a father-daughter Nintendo moment, AJ finds a restaurant she doesn't like and we talk sex (don't get ...
73: Healing
It's crazy, we've done over seventy episodes and never talked about healing. This week we remember the turning point in our lives for seeing healing happen as a normal by product of being in relationship with Jesus.
72: Language of Heaven
God is always speaking; the trouble is, we're not always perceiving. Learning the language of Heaven is imperative if we're going to learn to hear His voice. This week, we talk about our experiences of growing (and failing!) to understand what God...
71: UGBs
What you think about determines the outcome of nearly every decision you make. Ungodly beliefs (or UGBs) are nasty little suckers that sound true, but are actually false and are designed to steal life from you. This week we announce a jingle winne...
70: Forgiveness
We can't actually believe we haven't talked about this before as forgiveness is key to the healing we've experienced in our lives. This week we talk about misconceptions about forgiveness, the importance of forgiveness and the power of forgiveness...
69: Connection
Relationships are built on connection. When we allow our connection to degrade, our relationships suffer. This week we talk about the three most important life skills you need for establishing and maintaining healthy relationships. AJ gives a shou...
68: Times & Seasons
Life has a funny way of moving in and out of seasons. Sometimes those seasons are fantastic and other times they require huge amounts of patience. God is good in every season and this week we talk about how to live in different seasons and transit...
67: Worship
With A.J. out sick, our dear friend Josh Parsons joins Alyn to host this week's podcast. We talk worship, church leadership and answer some listeners' questions.
66: Raising Leaders
We're just back from a weekend away with our leadership team for SOSL. On this episode we talk nature, mountaineering, bobsledding with no bobsleds and what we look for in the leaders we pick. We also talk the mistakes we've made learning to lead ...
65: Church
The church is God's plan to bring His kingdom to earth. Yet sadly many Christians have decided to not go to church anymore. On this week's episode we talk about the fruit of not going to church, the key to accelerated growth in God and what to do ...
64: Social Networks
Social networks: love 'em or hate 'em we're all on them. This week we talk about our favorite parts of social networking, we discover that AJ prays about everything and Alyn learns what Pinterest is.
63: Giving
One of the easiest ways to see God at work is by giving. When we give, we empower heaven in incredible ways. This week we talk about some of the principles behind giving, tell some stories of God at work and talk five shiny stars. No fish tacos, h...
62: Conflict
Conflict isn't bad; unresolved conflict, however, is terrible. On this episode we share - from practical experience during the week (!) - how we resolve conflict in our marriage. We talk about the common UGBs and pitfalls that we can often fall in...
61: Feelings
Feelings: the good, the bad and the sometimes hysterically ugly. We all have them, but it's what we do with them that's most important. Of course we also talk fish tacos, chocolate and donuts but we also veer into movie reviews and talk about gett...
60: Mum
This week Alyn was in Scotland to bury his mom while AJ stayed home to watch the kids. We talk about life with Alyn's mum and catch up on vacation in Florida. All this and the answer to how pastors carry other people's burdens.
