Ep. 122 | Making Peace With It

Buckle up as Pastor Joe and Kirsten "pop the hood" on an episode packed with milestones, memories, and deep reflections. After marveling at the impressive efficiency of Bentonville High School’s recent graduation, the duo takes a hilarious trip down memory lane to revisit their own ceremonies—including Pastor Joe’s, which was incredibly memorable for all the wrong reasons. The conversation then shifts into the scriptures as they dive into Acts chapters 5–8, featuring a custom, AI-assisted graphic Pastor Joe created that he puts on the line for Kirsten’s brutally honest review. Inspired by the powerful story of Stephen, Joe opens up about his personal desire to develop a more eternal perspective in daily life. Finally, they wrap things up with a fun run-down of Brock’s graduation party and the heartwarming, special surprise they pulled off just for him. Let's pop the hood!
