This episode proves once again that humans are great at delaying... and terrible at admitting it. From fake cops with sirens to a man who debated himself into winning the lottery, and a driverless car that nearly met a train, these Hot Takes reveal how hesitation and overthinking play out in real life.

Host Steve Wyatt and the team then peel back the humor to expose a deeper issue: procrastination isn’t laziness... It’s fear, perfectionism, and self-protection disguised as wisdom. The conversation tackles doubt, analysis paralysis, and why waiting until everything feels “just right” often keeps us stuck.

Steve closes with a sobering look at spiritual procrastination, reminding listeners that faith isn’t about having every question answered... It’s about responding when truth knocks. Felix waited for a more convenient time. Agrippa was almost persuaded. Neither ever moved. This episode challenges you not to make the same mistake.

Why are people willing to humiliate themselves, risk injury, or chase viral fame just to feel noticed? From people shoving matchsticks up their noses for world records to robot rooster fights, skateboarding pigs, and bizarre collectible obsessions, this episode exposes how far culture will go for attention and validation.

Host Steve Wyatt and the team use these outrageous headlines to pull back the curtain on something deeper: the universal need for significance and the regret that follows when we chase the wrong things. New year optimism collides with old mistakes, lingering shame, and the haunting desire for a reset button that doesn’t exist.

Steve delivers a clear and sobering truth—success can’t erase guilt, popularity can’t heal shame, and effort can’t undo sin. There is only one place where messes are truly covered, and that’s the cross. This episode is a cultural mirror and a spiritual reset for anyone tired of chasing what never satisfies.

A new year brings hope, promise, and for many, the same old problem. In this episode, Host Steve Wyatt and the crew talk honestly about what happens when you’re staring down a mountain you can’t climb, go around, or pretend isn’t there.

From imposter syndrome and emotional pretending to addiction, grief, and numbing the pain with distractions, the conversation pulls no punches. The team explores why pretending makes things worse and why facing reality with wisdom, humor, and faith is the only way forward.

Steve offers three practical tools for anyone stuck in a hard season: number your days, take your medicine (learn to laugh), and find a mantra rooted in truth. With stories about loss, recovery, cancer, anxiety, and joy reclaimed, this episode is a powerful reset for the new year and for anyone who feels overwhelmed right now.

This special Christmas episode opens with a spirited debate over the greatest Christmas movies of all time—from Elf and Christmas Vacation to the controversial claim that Die Hard really is a Christmas movie. But the conversation takes a surprising turn when Host Steve Wyatt makes the case that Home Alone may be the most Christian Christmas movie of them all—once you see what’s been hiding in plain sight.

From there, the team tackles NFL money talk after Odell Beckham Jr. downplayed his $100 million contract, sparking a deeper discussion about entitlement, stewardship, and why money makes a terrible master. Using real stats and real talk, the crew breaks down why financial gifting doesn’t equal personal greatness—and why contentment can’t be bought.

The episode closes with one of the most powerful Christmas teachings of the year. Steve walks through the shepherds’ encounter with the angel, explaining why fear is the natural response to God’s holiness—and why Christmas changes everything. The call is simple but profound: fear not, behold Christ, give God glory, and discover the peace that only comes when your eyes stay fixed on Him.

This week’s episode opens with the internet’s favorite pastime: hating on Travis Kelce. The crew breaks down why America’s “most hated” NFL player is catching heat... not for touchdowns, but for allegedly never arguing in his relationship. Then things escalate quickly when a Florida man fires shots in a bar fight over… how many eggs a chicken can lay. Yes, really. Welcome to humanity.

But Host Steve Wyatt takes the madness somewhere meaningful. Through hilarious personal confessionals—keys lost in pockets, snarky emails, explosive diarrhea mid-sermon—the team unpacks why we overreact to small things and how unresolved wounds fuel big explosions.

Then Steve delivers a powerful teaching on singing in the storm: Paul praising God in prison, a lone musician on Bourbon Street after Katrina, and the biblical call to choose joy even when life collapses around you. If you’re struggling, overwhelmed, or just tired of losing your song, this episode will give you the reset you need.

This week opens with one of the wildest Hot Takes we’ve ever covered, a Canadian rapper who tried filming a music video while wing-walking on a plane and paid the ultimate price. That launches the crew into a hilarious but honest conversation about confidence outrunning competence, instant regrets, childhood humiliations, and the dumb choices we all make.

Then the show shifts to NFL fan outrage after Cam Skattebo dared to smile, stand up, and enjoy life while recovering from a brutal ankle injury. His response, “I’m having a good time while dealing with a tough time,” becomes the heartbeat of this episode.

Host Steve Wyatt unpacks what the Apostle Paul called “sorrowful yet always rejoicing” and explains why biblical joy is not the absence of pain but the presence of Jesus in the storm. From Peter walking on water to a miraculous phone-booth story that proves God knows exactly where you are, this episode calls you to trust the One who sees you, rescues you, and never shows up late.
