These 5 guests had some super fun episodes, but my oh my do they combine for an excellen...

For our first one, Holly and Bob Flayhart will talk pastoral transition...

Next week you can look for a little bit of fun and then the No. Holds. Barred. Bob as he...

Our first weekly episode of Unseriously is such a treat--join Holly as she asks author and theology professor Dr. Kelly Kapic about keeping his students on their toes, hears how he (regularly) gets schooled by his brilliant wife, and expresses her gratitude for not making the subtitle of his new book, "Hey, Holly!
