Harvard says asking for advice makes you look smarter—but Brant isn’t buying it. After all, nothing says “genius” like wandering AutoZone or Home Depot looking lost while internally begging for help with car parts or power tools. Sherri’s with him on this one, proving that sometimes “competence” is just a fancy word for “I still don’t know what I’m doing.”

When floodwaters rise, so do opportunities for God’s people to show His love in action. In Lynden, Samaritan’s Purse—led on the ground by Jacob—is once again stepping into the gap, just as they did in 2021, to serve families facing heartbreaking loss. With teams removing damaged belongings, offering prayers, and staying ready for the long haul, their presence is a reminder that hope is stronger than disaster. Whether you’re in need...

Christmas is busy. Like, “where did I put the scissors, and why is the tape stuck to the cat” busy. Brant and Sherri know this all too well, which is why Brant grabbed his acoustic guitar and wrote the ultimate holiday anthem: “Get Me Some Presents.”

It starts off sounding like a heartfelt reminder about slowing down during the season… and then takes a sharp left turn. Honestly, it’s the kind of song that perfectly captures the tug‑...

Words carry weight. They can either tear down or build up, curse or bless. Brant and Sherri remind us of the incredible opportunity we have to add value through our speech. Instead of defaulting to criticism or negativity, we can cultivate a heart that is ready to bless others with kindness.

Brant points to Proverbs 31, where it says that the virtuous woman speaks with the “law of kindness” on her tongue. This isn’t just about occas...

When I think about peace and joy, I don’t see them as distant ideals we’ll never reach—I see them as promises we’re invited to live into right now. Sherri's uncle’s words have stuck with me: peace is joy resting, and joy is peace dancing—and I believe that staying connected to God makes those promises real, giving us a pervasive sense of wellbeing no matter what life throws our way.

While Sierra was working through her battle with addiction, her mother Ronda was the rock she leaned on.

She has always supported me, and she's always been there for me. Even when she's struggling, she doesn't show it or tell anybody, she just keeps pushing. I just appreciate everything she does because without her my son wouldn't have a place to live and I just wouldn't have the support that I get from my mom.

Though Ronda has also ...

In a world that often feels loud with judgment and quick to condemn, the quiet voice of grace can seem absent. Brant is reflecting on a book by Kirsten Powers—he hasn't read it so he's not endorsing it—highlighting its central theme: grace, and how desperately our culture needs it. Kirsten describes grace as giving other people space to not be you. 

Scripture tells us that grace is not just a theological concept—it’s a way of living...

When Richard Dawkins, one of the world’s most outspoken atheists, scoffs at the idea of God working through “bronze age, camel herders from the Middle East,” he unintentionally highlights a theme that runs like a thread through Scripture. Brant takes this very skepticism and turns it into a powerful reminder: God’s story is filled with unlikely heroes. From Galilee—an obscure and overlooked corner of the ancient world—to shepherds,...

I just read something that said 50% of children in America will experience their parents' divorce this holiday season.

The holidays are supposed to be filled with joy, but for parents navigating divorce and co-parenting, they can feel complicated and heavy. Many of us know the ache of putting on a brave smile while our kids bounce between households, trying to give them the magic of Christmas or Thanksgiving without letting them see...

We’ve all had those moments when life feels like it’s keeping score—late fees, deadlines, rules that don’t bend. Brant shares a story from Phillip Yancey about being nearly an hour late to return a rental car in Los Angeles, and most of us can already feel the sting of the penalty coming. But instead of a fine, the Hertz desk clerk smiled and explained there was a “grace period.” No charge. No punishment. Just grace.

    The Burden

    The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
