Happy New Year! 🎉 In this special year-end episode of the Christian AF Podcast, Jesse, Jen, and Evan tackle the big question: Why don’t we live like eternity is real? With 2025 kicking off, we reflect on how eternity (or our avoidance of it) shapes our decisions, relationships, and priorities.

The crew dives into everything from our cultural obsession with immediacy and distraction to the spiritual disciplines that help us slow down and focus on what really matters. They explore how our Western mindset often misses the mark, why slowing down might be the most countercultural thing we can do, and how living with an eternal perspective could change everything.

Oh, and there’s bourbon punch. 🍹 Grab your favorite drink, sit back, and join us for a conversation that’s both hilarious and heartfelt. Who knew eternity could be this entertaining?

🎄 It's the most wonderful time of the year, and we're back with a brand-new episode! In this special holiday-themed discussion, Jesse, Jen, and Evan tackle some big theological questions (and a whole lot of Christmas banter). From debating the dual nature of Jesus—fully God, fully human—to sharing favorite Christmas cookies and holiday movies, we’ve got all the festive chaos you never knew you needed.

This episode dives deep into the mystery of Jesus' humanity and divinity. Was Jesus really tempted? Could he have sinned? And what does it mean to be fully human in light of his example? Along the way, we explore the challenges of understanding the Trinity, unpack what it means to strive for spiritual wholeness, and remind ourselves why the journey of faith is worth it.

Plus, you'll hear plenty of holiday tangents, including some bold Christmas movie opinions (sorry, It’s a Wonderful Life fans) and a heated debate over Christmas cookies. Grab a drink, your favorite holiday treat, and let’s unwrap the complexities of faith this season.

Leadership and discipleship—two words we hear a lot in church, but do they really mean what we think they do? In this episode of the Christian AF Podcast, Jesse, Jen, and Evan dive into the messy overlap of leadership and discipleship in the church. Is leadership about casting the widest net, or is it about leading people deeper into faith? And when did discipleship become more about programs than relationships?

The crew takes a hard look at the history of leadership in the modern church, from the corporate-style CEO model to the disciple-making movement that often feels slower—but might actually be the fastest way to grow the Kingdom. Along the way, they explore how leadership has shifted away from spiritual formation and toward spreadsheets, stats, and shallow retention.

If you’ve ever wondered why the church sometimes feels more like a business than a body of believers, or how discipleship fits into your day-to-day life, this episode is for you. So grab a drink, lean in, and rethink what leadership and discipleship could look like in a healthier, more intentional church.
