What starts with caffeine addiction, Weber grills, aliens, and burnt burgers somehow turns into one of the most honest conversations we’ve had about shame, guilt, identity, parenting, failure, and the grace of Jesus. The crew sits down with Hannah Kilpatrick to unpack the difference between conviction and condemnation, why shame quietly shapes so much of our lives, and how Peter and Judas responded so differently after failure. It’s funny, vulnerable, chaotic, deeply real… and somehow still includes barbecue advice.

This week on the MORE Podcast, the crew celebrates Star Wars week with mustache jokes, Hawaiian shirt confessions, failed trivia moments, and enough nerd talk to make Yoda proud. But underneath the chaos and laughter is a powerful conversation from Ephesians 2 about belonging, community, vulnerability, and why nobody was meant to walk through life—or faith—alone. From lone wolves and small groups to lightsabers and lunch tables, this episode is equal parts hilarious and deeply challenging.

This episode of the MORE Podcast is a wild mix of throwback stories and real spiritual challenge. The crew dives into their early days in Christian rap and punk bands—complete with headset mics, low-budget concerts, and just enough confidence to think they were big time. But underneath the laughter, the conversation shifts to something deeper: the danger of living loud, busy lives while neglecting quiet time with God. With humor, honesty, and practical insight, this episode will make you laugh—and maybe rethink your daily rhythms with the Lord.

This episode has everything: flooding fears, sturgeon conspiracies, childhood trauma disguised as “character building,” and a serious debate about whether AI should be allowed to take your McDonald’s order. Somewhere between Pokémon investments and Bigfoot sightings, we accidentally talk about Jesus walking with people who don’t even realize it.
It’s chaotic. It’s real. It’s the MORE Podcast.

Over-caffeinated and slightly unfiltered, this episode takes you from space debates and conspiracy theories to the cross of Christ. We laugh about bad TV endings, questionable life choices, and Northern Michigan weather—but land on a serious question: if Jesus had the power to save Himself, why didn’t He? Come for the humor, stay for the truth.

The MORE Podcast—helping you know God more deeply… while navigating a world where gas prices test your faith more than your quiet time.
This week: sunshine therapy, budget-breaking fuel, mystery dinners, and the realization that sometimes following Jesus is easier than filling your tank.

What do energy drinks, a massive snowstorm, and fake plants have in common?
They’ll all get you thinking about your heart.
In this episode, we dive into Mark 4 and the Parable of the Sower—breaking down what kind of soil your life is producing. Are you growing… or just looking alive?
Real talk about distraction, spiritual drift, and what it actually takes to have a healthy heart.
This one gets honest—fast.

Something is shifting in Michigan… and most people have no idea.
In this episode, we unpack what’s happening behind the scenes—from legislative changes and court battles to the growing conversation around parental authority, education, and the value of life.
This isn’t about headlines or hot takes. This is about connecting the dots so you can see the bigger picture.
Because once you see it… you can’t unsee it.

We begin asking the most important question anyone can ever ask: Who is this man Jesus? Throughout the four Gospels, we see a Savior who moves toward broken people, welcomes outsiders, challenges religious pride, and reveals the very heart of God. Whether He is teaching crowds, healing the sick, confronting hypocrisy, or sitting at a table with sinners, Jesus continually forces people to wrestle with one question: Who is He really?

Northern Michigan winter has us doing what we do best: surviving on caffeine and sugar while naming snowplows like we’re writing a Marvel script. We talk Red Bull addictions, questionable Aldi beef jerky, ice shanty “villages” with satellite dishes, and then pivot hard into a seriously good conversation with Pastor Matt on “Where we stare, we steer.” (Also: yes… the Bible trivia got weird.)
