One hundred episodes. Jobbin and Jeswin celebrate by ranking their top five brown church experiences: the back row communion strategy, a baptism procession that took longer than the walk, Santa Claus at a Delhi mission service, youth meeting trophies that look like fishing awards, and the cottage meeting goodbye that lasts an hour. Then they tell the story they have never fully told on the pod: how a church conflict, a 40 day fast, and a Thursday night prayer group in Chicago became Restoring Our City. Plus how Jeswin went from campus ministry to cohost, why this podcast should never replace your local church, and a prayer for the next hundred from Philippians 1:9‑11.

Pass the Plate
Church fundraising sits in a strange place. Everyone knows the money has to come from somewhere, and everyone has a story about the ask that felt wrong. Locked doors, platinum sponsor tiers, songbook ads, plaques on the wall.
Jobbin and Jeswin work through the tactics, the Google review that keeps showing up under every church, and what 1 Chronicles 29 and Haggai 1 actually say about how leaders should ask and why people should give.

The General Body Problem
Every year it comes back around. The general body meeting. The nominations, the bylaws, the budget nobody agrees on, and somehow the mango pickle that ends up on someone's head.
Jobbin and Jeswin sit with the meeting our community loves to dread, and the church splits, lost friendships, and quiet exits that follow it. They trace where the conflict really comes from, what Scripture actually models for resolving it, and why peace was never meant to be the absence of conflict but the presence of flourishing.
