   168. Two Kinds of People | Surface Tension

   Alex and Craig start with a simple thought experiment: “there are two kinds of people in the world,” and follow it all the way to identity, grace, and eternity. This is a hopeful, honest conversation about letting God hold the pen for your story instead of white knuckling it yourself.

   167. Surface Tension Spotlight: Maverick Moore

   Craig is joined by Maverick Moore for his God Story. Maverick shares a brutally honest story of how family fracture, addiction, and a double life nearly destroyed him, and how God met him through a lifeguard mentor, a moldy childhood Bible, a trip to Mammoth, and the radical forgiveness of the woman who became his wife. Craig helps unpack what it means to hit “no more wiggle room” rock bottom, to choose integrity over self-protection, and to live as a junior mechanic while the Master Mechanic rebuilds your life. This episode is for anyone who feels beyond repair and needs to see what real grace, confession, and redemption can look like in real time.

   166. The End of Spiritual Okayness | Surface Tension

   Alex and Craig unpack David Benner’s Surrender to Love and ask why so many of us settle for spiritual “okayness” instead of the ocean of the Father’s love. Through movie metaphors, the prodigal son, and honest personal stories, they explore how fear, control, and religious earning keep us stuck in mud puddles while Jesus invites us home. This conversation will help you reimagine obedience as surrender, vulnerability, and learning to actually live from being loved.
