Have you ever wondered why certain habits, comforts, or distractions feel impossible to let go of? This episode dives into the uncomfortable but freeing topic of idolatry, and how fasting helps us identify what’s quietly ruling our lives. We discuss why fasting is a biblical weapon against idols and how it reorients our hearts toward what truly satisfies. If you want to start the year more aware, more dependent on God, and less enslaved to substitutes, press play. Let’s get into it. Connect With The Few!

Are you already exhausted by the pressure to “fix” yourself this year? In this episode, we push back against the New Year narrative that says you need a total overhaul to be faithful or effective. We talk about the difference between reinvention and sanctification, and why one leaves us burned out while the other actually changes us. No hype. No resolutions. No pretending. Just truth, grace, and a better way forward. Let’s get into it!

The week before Christmas is often the loudest, busiest, and most exhausting part of the season, but what if it wasn’t meant to be that way?

In this episode, we’re breaking down a quiet lie many Christians accidentally live by: the idea that there are “levels” of godliness—super-Christians over here, “regular” believers over there. Spoiler: Scripture doesn’t teach spiritual class systems. It calls all of us to reflect Christ in every area of life, not just the ones that feel easy or public. We’ll talk about why comparison sneaks into our faith, how cultural ideas of “aesthetic Christianity” distort spiritual growth, and what it really looks like to pursue Christlikeness in ordinary, behind-the-scenes moments—our habits, friendships, creativity, online presence, and even how we handle discouragement. If you’ve ever felt “not Christian enough,” or wondered whether you have what it takes to live a life that genuinely honors Jesus, this episode is here to ground you in truth, encourage your walk, and remind you that God isn’t calling you to a tier… He’s calling you to Himself.

What if the real crisis isn’t Islam’s growth, but Christian apathy toward family? Islam is expanding around the world, but behind the numbers is a deeper issue: Christians have stopped valuing the very things God designed to sustain faith through generations. Today, we unpack why family matters for Kingdom influence, how the enemy distorts young Christians’ view of marriage, and why it’s time to stop fearing commitment and start building homes centered on Christ.

Have you heard that the government shutdown has resulted in some changes to SNAP benefits? In today’s episode, we’re talking about one of the most neglected callings in Christianity: the Church showing up before the government has to. With the shutdown putting SNAP benefits on hold, families are struggling, and this is exactly when believers should be leading the way in community, responsibility, and real compassion. We dig into why the Church should never outsource care to the government, what biblical community actually looks like, and how we can step into the gap for our neighbors during times of crisis. If you’re ready to rethink how the Church can be the steady, dependable foundation our culture needs, this episode is for you. Let’s get into it.  Connect With The Few!

What do the 2025 election results in New York City and Virginia really tell us about the next generation?

In this episode, we talk about how the victories of Mamdani and Jay Jones reveal a deeper spiritual issue in our nation. We have a generation that’s been discipled more by the classroom than by the Church. We unpack how universities have become centers of indoctrination, why so many young people are embracing deceptive worldviews, and what it will take for us to stand firm and speak truth in a culture that’s forgotten where wisdom begins.

How many of us measure our relationship with God by how well we’re loving Him, how often we pray, how much we read our Bible, or how obedient we’ve been this week?

Why does violence seem to be everywhere and why does it no longer grieve us the way it should? In this conversation, we talk about the disturbing rise of what we call “assassination culture,” connecting the dots between social media, video games, porn, and the spiritual numbness of our time.

After Jackie Hill Perry’s comments that Charlie Kirk, “isn’t giving martyr,” many Christians were left wondering: What does real, Biblical martyrdom look like today? In this episode, we talk about why her statement misses the mark, what Scripture actually says about those who suffer for righteousness’ sake, and why Charlie’s life and death should challenge the modern Church to wake up.
