  Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Dad Jokes & Discernment, we sit down with Pastor Jordan for what was supposed to be a simple sermon recap on Nahum. Naturally, it turned into something much bigger. We dig into Nahum 1, the judgment of Nineveh, the danger of returning to old sins, the importance of passing biblical truth to the next generation, and what it means to fear God when our problems seem bigger than He is. Then we hit Nahum 1:7: “The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of tr...

  Send us Fan Mail The Dollar and the Disciple: What Does God Say About Money? — Part 2 Money is not evil. Having nice things is not automatically sinful. But what happens when the things God has given us become the things we trust most?

  Send us Fan Mail The Dollar and the Disciple: What Does God Say About Money? Money is one of the most talked about, argued about, and misunderstood subjects in our world. Some people believe money is the key to happiness. Others believe money itself is the problem. But what does the Bible actually say about wealth, work, debt, saving, giving, and stewardship?

  Episode 54: God Is Already Answering You... You're Just Ignoring It | Proverbs 1:20-33 26.07.2026 53min

  Send us Fan Mail Is God really silent... or are we ignoring what He's already said? In this episode of Dad Jokes & Discernment, we dive into Proverbs 1:20-33 and unpack one of the most sobering passages in the Book of Proverbs. Wisdom isn't hidden in a cave waiting to be discovered—she's crying out in the streets, calling people to repentance. The real question is: Are we listening?

  Episode 53: You Don't Own Anything (And That's Good News) 19.07.2026 45min

  Send us Fan Mail What does it mean to be a good steward? Is biblical stewardship really just about money, tithing, and giving? Or is God calling us to something much deeper? In this episode of Dad Jokes and Discernment, we dive into one of Jesus’ most confusing teachings: the parable of the unjust steward in Luke 16. For centuries, Christians have wrestled with why Jesus seemed to commend a dishonest manager. But when we look closer, we discover Jesus wasn’t praising dishonesty—He was reveali...

  Episode 51: Three Steps to Seeing the Creator: DNA, Design & Jesus 05.07.2026 52min

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Dad Jokes and Discernment, we take a direct look at the question: Is there evidence for God? Rather than relying on emotion or tradition alone, we walk through what many believers point to as observable evidence of a Creator—from the complexity of the human body and DNA, to the design seen in nature, ecosystems, and even the structure of life itself. We also explore how biblical prophecy, particularly Messianic prophecy, connects across centuries of Scriptu...

  Episode 49: Will Anybody Stand? | Ezekiel 22, Joshua 1, and Christ in the Gap 22.06.2026 24min

  Send us Fan Mail In Ezekiel 22:30, God says something sobering: He searched for a man to stand in the gap—and found none. In this episode, we wrestle with that reality and what it reveals about human fear, spiritual responsibility, and our tendency to stay silent when we should stand. We move from Ezekiel’s burden to Joshua 1, where leadership begins in uncertainty and fear, but is met with God’s repeated call to courage and His promise of presence. Joshua shows us what it looks like to step ...

  Episode 48: Pride Month Exposed: The Sin the Bible Says Destroys Everyone 14.06.2026 31min

  Send us Fan Mail June is often associated with “Pride Month,” but in this episode of Dad Jokes and Discernment, we take a different approach—turning the conversation toward what Scripture actually says about pride itself. This isn’t a conversation about elevating one group over another; it’s a biblical look at pride as a sin that shows up in every human heart. From Isaiah 14 and the fall of Lucifer, to the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18, to Paul’s teaching in Romans ...

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Dad Chokes and Discernment, we explore the tension between pride, patience, and the harvest God calls us into. From Matthew 9:36–38, we look at Jesus’ words that “the harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few,” and what that means for believers today. We talk about how pride quietly puts us in control of our own lives, how impatience pushes us to force what God may be asking us to wait on, and how both can keep us from faithfully stepping into th...

  Episode 45: You Can Be Religious and Still Lost (Matthew 7 Breakdown) 24.05.2026 1h 8min

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Dad Jokes and Discernment, we dive into one of the most sobering passages in all of Scripture: Matthew 7:13–23, where Jesus speaks about the narrow gate and the broad way, and delivers the warning that not everyone who says “Lord, Lord” will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. What does it really mean to be on the narrow way? Can someone be deeply religious and still be lost? How do we distinguish between true salvation and mere outward Christianity? We walk throu...

  Episode 44: Micah 6:8 Bible Study | What God Actually Requires: Justice, Mercy, and Humility Explained 16.05.2026 50min

  Send us Fan Mail Micah 6:8 is one of the most quoted verses in Scripture—but it’s also one of the most misunderstood. In this episode of Dad Jokes and Discernment, we walk through the courtroom scene of Micah 6, where God brings a case against His own people. The issue isn’t that they weren’t religious enough—it’s that their religion had become empty, external, and disconnected from their hearts. God asks a piercing question: “What have I done to you?” and then reminds His people of His faith...

  Episode 42: The Scariest Thing in the Bible Isn’t Judgment—It’s Not Knowing You Lost God 03.05.2026 51min

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Dad Jokes and Discernment, we dive deep into one of the most overlooked spiritual dangers in the Christian life: spiritual drift. Using the story of Samson in Judges 13–16, we explore how a man who was called by God from birth, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and set apart as a Nazarite, slowly drifted away from spiritual awareness through small compromises that seemed harmless at the time. The turning point comes in Judges 16:20, one of the most sobering ver...

It started with a real conversation about burnout, frustration at work, and the emotional weight that comes from trying to stay faithful in environments that feel draining, repetitive, or even meaningless at times. From there, the discussion shifts into something...

  Send us Fan Mail In this unscripted episode of Dad Jokes and Discernment, we stepped away from our planned topic and followed what was on our hearts in the moment—landing in the book of Job. What do you do when life falls apart? When suffering doesn’t make sense? When everything you built seems to be taken away? We talk through Job’s story, his response to unimaginable loss, and what it really means when Scripture says he “fell down and worshiped.” We wrestle with big questions like why God a...
