No work. No rushing. Just rest, play, good food, and time together.

It’s called Sabbath — an ancient, biblical rhythm woven through Scripture — yet most modern Christians barely practice it.

In this episode of I Don't Know S***, Jake spends a Sunday with the Zitek family, who’ve built their lives around Sabbath rest. They’re not pastors or theologians — just a regular family choosing a radically countercultural way to live. What they’ve found is simple: Sabbath isn’t a rule to keep, but a gift to receive.

If you’re feeling burned out or stretched thin, this conversation might completely reframe how you think about rest, faith, and family life.

Thanks to Marty Solomon for the phrase, "We rest. We play. No work. God Loves us."

In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend Ryan Findley—better known as Fin. A former teacher turned tech insider, Fin has spent the last three years helping schools and organizations make sense of the sudden avalanche of artificial intelligence. As the technology’s impact has become impossible to ignore, he’s shifted his focus toward an even bigger question: how families and parents can prepare for life in the Age of AI.

Together, we tackle one of the strangest and most urgent questions of our time: what is AI, really—and is it saving us, ruining us, or doing something far more complicated?

Our conversation ranges from Silicon Valley hype cycles and global tech races to the very real ways AI is already helping people, harming people, reshaping faith, and quietly reshaping who we are. Expect honest disagreements, truth-telling, and a few stories that might make you rethink your relationship with the internet altogether.

You can download Fin's free guides or sign up for his 2026 courses on his Linktree (which is linktree.com/parentAI) and follow him on Finstagram (@finsky777).

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Carl Yonker, a senior researcher at Tel Aviv University, to unpack the complex history and present-day realities of Israel and the Middle East. Carl traces the roots of Zionism, the formation of Israel, and the evolution of modern conflicts through Carl’s expert lens — blending historical context with deeply personal reflection. Recorded just before the most recent ceasefire, this conversation offers an honest, human perspective on life in Israel amid war, politics, and shifting worldviews.
