  • Not Sure

    I’m not sure where to start. After major church hurt, Pastor JP was someone I could continue to listen to. I listened to his Sunday sermons and the Becoming Something podcast. It helped me keep my eyes on Jesus. However, after an episode where Nate was talking about how he treated his pregnant wife, I stopped listening. I enjoy hearing JP, but Nate seems to be lacking compassion and discernment. I listened to the recent podcast about Spiraling, and quickly learned that Nate was continuing in his... more

  • Matthew 19

    Just listened to the first one! I believe that God has called me to be single and 1 Corinthians 7 has been an encouragement and teacher for me, but Matthew 19 was not on my radar. Thank you for being a tool in God’s hand to help open my eyes to more of what God has to say! It is so neat that Jesus talks about singleness too!

  • Best young adult Christian podcast

    There is not a podcast I could recommend more to young adults. I’m not a “review guy” either but this podcast is so impactful to me and my wife that I had to write one. They never shy away from the truth and are open about their own struggles. This podcast is a great representation of grace and truth.

  • Honest Christian Talks

    Love how openly and honestly they talk through these topics. I wish the girl had more podcast etiquette, she interrupts frequently (even just to say “yeah”) and it’s distracting! Other than that, this is a podcast that is engaging and is helping me grow in my faith journey. I’ll keep listening!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 372: Guarding Your Heart (from BeSo Live)
Q: What does Guarding Your Heart practically look like before, during, after marriage?
Practically, guard your heart by controlling what you say, what you look at, where you go, and what you do; involve your group and persist in prayer and scripture; and date with clear intent, avoiding fantasies and over-idealization until you're sure about long-term compatibility.
Episode 371: How to hear God’s voice (from BeSo Live)
Q: How do you actually hear God's voice clearly and know it's not just your own thoughts?
The speakers outline three guiding sources—God's Word, God's Spirit, and God's people—and stress testing impressions by scripture and trusted mentors, along with persistent prayer and community input until clarity emerges.
Episode 369: Becoming Like Jesus (feat. Matt Chandler)
Q: Why start with the Beatitudes as the foundation for sanctification?
Because Jesus places the framework for a life with God at the core of our identity—being rightly related to God, self, and others—so that everything else in the Christian life flows from that inner posture.
Episode 368: You Are Not Your Job Title
Q: What is the difference between working hard and making work your god?
The hosts suggest that you should pursue your tasks with diligence and heart for the Lord, but you should not idolize work or let it control your life; true motive matters—work is a platform for serving God, not a source of ultimate identity.
Episode 363: Gender Roles in the Church (feat. Preston Sprinkle)
Q: How should we understand 'authority' in 1 Timothy 2, given the Greek term authentēn?
The discussion emphasizes that authentēn in its broader Greek usage often describes a master/slave-like dominance rather than godly shepherding authority; thus the prohibition is likely about a particular kind of commanding authority rather than all types of leadership by women, especially within the broader context of Scripture.
