What actually counts as Christian leadership… and why does it fall apart so often inside the church?
In this episode, Nate and Pastor Joseph dig into the truth about leadership in the church and why so many believers end up confused, hurt, or just straight-up annoyed by how authority works in different Christian spaces. They break down what healthy spiritual leadership looks like, how influence can be used well or misused fast, and why accountability matters way more than titles or stage presence. It’s honest, funny, and a little uncomfortable in the best way possible, especially if you’ve ever wondered why leadership feels so different from church to church.
If you like real talk about faith, culture, and the messy parts of church life, you’re in the right place.

Episode 151 – Fasting: What It Is… and What It Definitely Isn’t
🥴 Is it spiritual… or just skipping lunch?
In this episode, Nate and Pastor Joseph break down fasting—not the cute, curated version, but the real, biblical one. From juice cleanses disguised as devotionals to guilt-fueled church fasts, they tackle the confusion, comedy, and convictions around how modern Christians view this ancient practice.
Whether you’ve fasted out of faith, peer pressure, or forgot to eat… this episode unpacks what Jesus actually meant—and what we’ve made it mean.
With their signature wit and unfiltered honesty, the guys cover:
• What fasting isn’t (spoiler: a diet plan)
• Why “just pray more” isn’t the answer
• The tension between spiritual discipline and burnout
• And the hilarious, awkward pressure of public fasts
This is not your average sermon recap. It’s the convo we all wish our small group would have—smart, sarcastic, and deeply honest.
