| 5/4/26 | Ep. 148 - Jesus Took On Shame So You Don't Have To - Matt King | Shame can be one of the most powerful forces shaping our lives and most of the time, we don’t even realize it. In this episode, we go back to Genesis 3 to see where shame begins, then unpack how it still works today, distorting our thoughts, and changing how we see God, ourselves and others. But shame doesn’t get the final word. Joined again by fan favorite, Pastor Matt King We talk about how Jesus steps directly into our shame, takes it on Himself, and what it actually looks like to start “shaming shame.” Stay tuned for part 2 of this conversation on guilt, conviction and confession of sin… you won’t want to miss it. 0:00 Intro7:00 Genesis 311:00 Can shame be redeemed?13:15 How shame works35:00 Jesus enters our shame56:00 How to shame shame A BIG THANKS TO OUR OFFICIAL SPONSOR, TRIVAN!

| 4/20/26 | Ep. 147 - Lead with Intention or Lose the Mission - Peter Greer | Mission drift is real and whether we realize it or not, it can happen to even the best of organizations and people. In this episode, we’re joined by Peter Greer, author of the book Mission Drift, to talk about how drift happens and how to avoid it. Even with the best intentions, it’s easy to lose focus over time—and often, you don’t realize it until you’re already off course. Through real examples, we unpack the subtle warning signs of mission drift, the influence of culture, and how leadership decisions, people, and priorities can quietly shift your direction. This conversation is about staying intentional—whether you’re leading something or simply trying to stay grounded in what matters most. To learn more, be sure to pick up a copy of Mission Drift.

| 2/9/26 | Ep. 142 - How to Fight Fair & Forgive Well - Dr. Tim Lane | Is conflict always bad? And do Christians always have to forgive? In this episode of Real Talk, we take an honest look at conflict and forgiveness—two realities every Christian faces because every Christian is in relationships. We’re joined by Dr. Tim Lane, biblical counselor and author of Relationships, to explore what distinguishes godly conflict from ungodly conflict, what real forgiveness actually looks like, and how the gospel shapes our relationships—both personally and in the church. Conflict doesn’t have to destroy relationships. And forgiveness is more than just words.

| 1/26/26 | Ep. 141 - The Comfort Heaven Brings to Earth - Dr. William den Hollander | It is with both heavy and grateful hearts that we release this episode in loving memory of Rev. William den Hollander—a faithful pastor, preacher, and dear friend of Real Talk. Our guest for today, Dr. Will den Hollander, is Rev. den Hollander’s son. With his blessing, we chose to release this episode as originally scheduled. In God’s kind providence, this conversation on heaven arrives at a moment when the comfort of our eternal home feels especially near and deeply needed. Together, we explore questions many Christians wrestle with: What happens when we die? What is heaven? And what will the New Earth be like? We discuss the intermediate state, the spiritual realm, and why meditating on heaven matters for how we live today. We pray this episode would encourage and comfort you, grounding your heart in the certain hope of heaven and stirring in you deeper delight in Christ—now and forever.

| 7/14/25 | Ep. 127 - CCBR: Prophets For The Preborn - Nick and Maaike Rosendal | Is it possible to make abortion unthinkable?

| 6/2/25 | Ep. 124 - Making Real Talk Real: Just Do Something - Lucas & Tyler | It’s one thing to have "real talk", but it’s another to actually apply it to life. It has been a while since we last got together so we thought it was time to do a special round-up recapping how these last six months of episodes have impacted our lives. Using the theme from the well-known book Just Do Something by Kevin DeYoung we chat about how we are all called to do something and how Real Talk has been helping us do this. We hope the same is true for you! If you haven’t yet, be sure to read Just Do Something. It is well worth your time! 0:00 - Intro 3:46 - Just Do Something A BIG THANKS TO OUR OFFICIAL SPONSOR, TRIVAN! WE APPRECIATE YOU HELPING US MAKE THIS CONVERSATION POSSIBLE.
