We've all been there—sitting in church, reading our Bibles, or hearing a powerful sermon, and then asking ourselves: "Okay, but what does this actually mean for my Monday morning? For my relationships? For the real life problems I'm facing right now?"
"So, What About Us" is where Biblical wisdom meets everyday life. This podcast bridges the gap between Sunday morning inspiration and the real challenges we face throughout the week. Each episode takes biblical principles from sermons and explores how they apply to the moments that matter most—navigating difficult conversations, making tough decisions, dealing with doubt, managing stress, building authentic relationships, and finding purpose in the ordinary.
From a Christian worldview, we dive into the practical, sometimes messy reality of living out our faith when the scripture reading is over and life demands our attention. No surface-level platitudes. Just honest conversations about how timeless truth shapes the way we work, love, struggle, and grow.
Whether you're wrestling with a specific challenge or simply want to deepen the connection between what you believe and how you live, this podcast is your space to ask: "So, what about us?". Because the Christian faith isn't just something we study—it's something we live.
What looks healthy in your life but can never feed you?
In episode 34, Pastor Steven is joined by ruling elder Floy Jumper to discuss Mark 11:12-25 where Jesus curses a fig tree that looks healthy but can’t feed him, drives the money changers and pigeon sellers out of the temple, and returns the next morning to find the tree withered from the roots up.
The guys walk through Mark’s structure and how the fig tree interprets the temple, why Mark notes it wasn’t the season for figs, and what “Have faith in God” has to do with Peter’s question. Floy also previews his Sunday night devotion on 1 Kings 8:27-30, where Solomon wonders whether God could really dwell in a house made by hands.
So, what about us? Busyness can look a lot like worship, but it can never satisfy. Confidence in prayer doesn’t come from talking ourselves out of doubt. It comes from trusting the One whose word withers trees and promises that we will be heard.

Episode 33: Hosanna, The King Arrives
Would you recognize rescue if it came in a dinghy at Dunkirk, or on a donkey into Jerusalem?
In episode 33, we finally arrive in Jerusalem with Mark 11:1-11. Jesus sends two disciples to find a colt no one has ever sat on, rides toward the city from the Mount of Olives, and is greeted by crowds spreading cloaks and branches and shouting "Hosanna." Then he enters the temple, looks around at everything, and quietly leaves for Bethany because it's already late.
Pastor Steven discusses what one donkey teaches us about God's providence in ordinary things, how Jesus acts out Zechariah 9 and Genesis 49, and why Mark bothers to mention the Mount of Olives and the time of day. We also explore Zechariah 14's picture of a mountain split open as a path of escape, Jesus as the true temple, and whether the crowd's hopes were let down when he went to the temple instead of to Pilate.
So, what about us? Like the crowd, we often decide in advance what God's rescue should look like. But Jesus came to save us from something far more dangerous than Rome, and the only question is whether we see our need clearly enough to follow him out.

Episode 32: Prayer of a Blind Man
What do you really want Jesus to do for you?
Episode 32 brings Walker Gossage to the table with Pastors Steven and Travis as we close out Mark 10. Jesus is on the road to Jerusalem, walking ahead of his disciples and telling them plainly that he will be mocked, flogged, and killed. James and John respond by asking for the best seats in his glory. A few verses later, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar sitting by the road outside Jericho, won't stop shouting for the Son of David to have mercy on him.
Jesus asks each of them the same question: "What do you want me to do for you?" The conversation digs into why Mark pairs these stories so closely, why Jesus answers ambition with a call to be the slave of all, and what it takes to ask God for the thing we actually need instead of hedging our bets. Walker also opens up about praying for healing as a parent and previews his Sunday night devotion from Isaiah 35.
So, what about us? We come to Jesus with mixed motives and misguided requests more often than we'd like to admit. The good news is that the one who stopped for Bartimaeus still stops, still calls, and still receives us gently.
