Love the podcast, Kevin and all your other contributions to the family. Especially enjoy when all three are together. Your love and camaraderie for one another is encouraging, uplifting and funny. And just so you know Bryant Denny Stadium does not hold a candle to Kyle Field at Texas A&M ha ha! Onward and upward my brothers!! Look forward to meeting you there someday.
I’m not your mother, Kevin, and I totally enjoyed the podcast celebrating the 250th anniversary of the US, and I listened to the whole thing! Thanks to all 3 of you.
I can see why God put you two together! What a good match. Please thank Trisha for sharing a bit of herself with your listeners!
I gain wisdom every time I listen to this podcast.
This podcast is my favorite! Well, it’s tied with “Mortification of Spin.” I have been waiting for the Christmas episode to drop, and I AM doing the dishes as I listen! I can’t wait for 2025 content. In all seriousness, I appreciate the clear and theologically sound conversations, thoughts and book recommendations from LBE.

A faith-forward discussion series centered on faith, theology, history, current events, and book recommendations. Conversations often feature theologians, pastors, and scholars who explore biblical interpretation, Christian history, and how literature intersects with faith. Episodes blend rigorous ideas with warmth and humor, occasional sports banter, and personal storytelling, helping listeners think deeply while staying accessible. Noteworthy: hosts frequently invite pastors and scholars, produce long-form explorations of doctrine and culture, and weave practical pastoral wisdom with bookish recommendations, making it useful for pastors, students, and lay readers alike.
