Summary
Today's episode is basically us sitting down and shooting the sheesh 😂 We’re talking all about the FIFA World Cup, why it unexpectedly gave us so much hope, and how meeting people from all over the world reminded us that we probably have way more in common than we think. We also dive into our recent Toy Story marathon (yes... Kaleb might officially be becoming a Disney adult 😂), why movies don't feel the same anymore, and this strange feeling that our generation is constantly chasing nostalgia. From malls and movie theaters to VHS tapes and Saturday morning cartoons—we're unpacking why those memories still hit so deeply. We also share our thoughts on today's media, reality TV, Love Island, social media, and how what we consume really does shape our hearts, minds, and relationships. As Christians, we want to be intentional about protecting our peace, raising our future kids well, and remembering that even when we disagree with people, we're still called to love our neighbors. Whether you're here for World Cup stories, Toy Story nostalgia, or just a fun conversation about culture and faith, we're so glad you're hanging out with us today. 🤍 PRE-ORDER MY BOOK ABIDING WAY NOW!
