This week on the MORE Podcast, the guys tackle life’s biggest questions: Why do people wear Crocs in a blizzard? Are Little Debbie Christmas tree cakes a love language? And should fantasy football trophies be allowed on stage? We also talk evangelism, identity in Christ, and why black ice is God’s way of testing your prayer life. Stretchy pants recommended.

It’s a two-man show: Alex and Gary vs. a rainy Northern Michigan day. We cover the essentials—Mountain Dew, Snickers, and monster cookies—then somehow ping-pong from Bomba Socks (70,000 pairs given!) to a pellet stove you can start from the car, an AI house robot that might judge your dishes, fantasy football chaos (hello, SIX-WAY tie), and the sacred hunt for TVs larger than your living room. Also: a dude with 2,253 names, a record-setting ice-cream toss, wood-turning near-disasters, Bible Trivia with cookie bribes, and a sneak peek at our new series PRISM: The Gospel in Full Color. It’s calorie-free, spiritually stuffed, and mostly supervised.

We went from “mine, mine, mine” (kids vs. candy) to “set apart” (holiness, not perfection), with detours through striped cattle, Lost spoilers (sorry), and fantasy football heartbreak. Hit play and pass it on. ▶️

Ever felt stuck between who you were and who God’s calling you to be? Kinda like being squished between two armrest hogs on a road trip to Dollywood? 🎢 Pastor Hunter calls it the middle seat — uncomfortable, but where the miracles happen. Tune in to find out why freedom doesn’t always feel like first class.

This week we debate Disney adults, dodge a six-foot gator on Hole 11, hire goats to mow ski slopes, watch a self-driving taxi earn a ticket, test “dad-Spanx,” update fantasy football, give away cookies, and ask if holiness is actually possible. Also: “Jesus is my caddy.” You’re welcome.

When the government shuts down but the podcast stays open… You know it’s going to be good. 😅 This week, we’re talking everything from bears in the kitchen to Bombas socks, from fantasy football heartbreak to living a financial legacy that actually matters. Add in some shutdown laughs, October chaos, and a Kingdom focus—and you’ve got an episode that’s as funny as it is challenging.

We moved studios, wrangled cables, auctioned cakes for $41,000(?!), and somehow talked generosity, golf, and AI in one episode. Press play and pass the brownies.

This week, the guys are back—well, most of them. PG is off in the Great North enjoying Canadian cabin life, which leaves Alex and Ted to talk vacations, puzzles, and what it really takes to unplug (spoiler: not much for Alex). From dad-feels about senior trips to the smell of Axe body spray in youth ministry vans, the conversation gets real fast.
Then the episode takes a turn into football fever with the launch of Harbor Light’s Fantasy League, before diving into the Red Sea moment in Exodus—why God sometimes leads us into impossible situations and how His sovereignty shows up in ways we don’t expect.
Add in some honest (and hilarious) real estate talk, stories about old Christian rock bands, and a big vision for the church’s future, and you’ve got another episode of laughs, encouragement, and truth.
Because sometimes a sermon just isn’t enough.

Pastor Gary coins a new word—'Monkery'—and somehow ties it to the Red Sea, Brother Lawrence, and peeling potatoes. Miracles, manifest presence, and a side of kitchen duty… welcome to the only podcast where clouds, fire, and monk jokes all make sense.
