Episodes
When love feels impossible, many of us fly by feelings and hope for the best. We’ve learned the hard way that emotions make for a trapping cockpit, especially in a crisis. So we walk through how to stop flying blind and start flying by instruments: Scripture as your panel, prayer as your checklist, and the fruit of the Spirit as your stabilizer when panic and pain hit. From there, we reframe the aim of marriage itself—moving from t...
What do you do when your spouse has lost it? We open with the brutal honesty of a spouse who done and the courage required to keep standing. From there, we reframe the core purpose of marriage—holiness over happiness—and unpack what that looks like when wounds are fresh. Drawing on 1 John 4 and 1 Corinthians 13, we explore why love is evidence of knowing God, not a prize for good behavior. Then we get practical: how to use your wor...
Headlines say church is shrinking, but the bigger story is personal: will our kids still love Jesus when they leave our home? We tackle the myths and get specific about what actually keeps young adults rooted—starting with genuine salvation, daily Scripture habits, and real service that turns them from consumers into contributors.
We break down the difference between belief and belonging, unpack why 1 Corinthians 12 makes ...
A quiet fear haunts many parents: what if our kids walk away from church—and from God—when they leave home? We tackle that fear head-on with hard data, honest stories, and a roadmap for raising disciples who see church as a covenant community, not a spiritual marketplace. From a heartbreaking turn in a close friend’s family to a sweeping look at declining membership and rising “no preference” identities, we unpack the cultural forc...
What if the real win of parenting isn’t quieter dinners or tidy rooms, but shaping a heart that keeps God at the center when life gets loud? We sit down with our kids to unpack how grace and discipline actually work together, why some rules are scaffolding and not forever, and how discerning real needs from felt needs can spare a family from debt, disappointment, and drift. The stories are simple and honest—lost retainers, toothpas...
What if the coldest seasons of marriage could become the soil where joy, prayer, and gratitude take root? We explore a simple, Scripture-shaped framework—promise, purpose, path, perseverance, and praise—that helps couples move from numbness to renewed connection. Drawing on personal stories of burnout and a misfired sabbatical, plus our daughter’s relentless grind through demanding courses, we get honest about distraction, isolatio...

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.
