What if one of the most central beliefs in Christianity… just doesn’t quite make sense to you?

In this episode, Jake sits down with pastor and theologian Alex Walton to wrestle honestly with the doctrine of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. From the ancient creeds to modern church experiences, they explore why this foundational belief can feel confusing, abstract, and even unsettling.

Jake shares his own struggles with the Trinity after years of study, along with personal experiences that shaped his skepticism—while Alex brings a thoughtful, humble perspective that makes space for both questions, uncertainty, and faith.

Together, they dig into questions like:

• Why does the Trinity feel so hard to understand?
• Is it okay to question something so central to Christianity?
• Are we trying too hard to explain a mystery?
• What if faith isn’t about certainty, but learning to live with tension?

This isn’t a debate meant to “solve” the Trinity. It’s a conversation about embracing mystery, letting go of rigid answers, and discovering a more honest way to engage with belief.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about the Holy Spirit, confused by theology, or hesitant to voice your doubts—this episode is for you.

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.

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.
