TCBSGs recount a road trip to Michigan for Revive Fest, describing scenic back roads, great food, and an unforgettable festival atmosphere near Leonidas, Michigan. They set up a booth with a popular Plinko game designed to point people toward Jesus, and were surprised and blessed when two young girls, Addison and Kennedy, took charge and ran the booth with joy and creativity.
The episode shares warm interactions with festival-goers, brief artist encounters, favorite performances, and memorable moments of kids enthusiastically celebrating when their Plinko chips landed on the "Jesus" slot. The hosts also reflect on weather and travel details, including a sweater-wearing Floridian tourist moment.
Shifting to Scripture, they study Luke 20 and Jesus' response to religious leaders who challenged his authority, noting the wisdom of answering questions with questions and the importance of proclaiming the good news. The episode closes with encouragement to live like Jesus by teaching, serving, and impacting one heart and one mind for Christ.

This episode follows the emotional highs and lows of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem: joyful crowds shouting "Blessed is the King," the Pharisees' demand for silence, and Jesus' striking response that even the stones would cry out if his followers kept quiet.
As Jesus approaches the city he weeps, lamenting that the people did not recognize the moment of peace he brought and foretelling coming destruction for that rejection.
The tone shifts as Jesus clears the temple courts, driving out the merchants and declaring, "My house will be a house of prayer," an act of righteous anger against exploitation and injustice that further alarms the religious leaders.
The episode ties these scenes together with reflection on faith, the cost of rejecting God's offer, and an urgent invitation to respond while salvation is within reach.

In this episode the hosts share big news about flying to Michigan to be vendors at Revive Fest and meeting listeners in person, and explain why this episode was previously recorded. They then read and discuss Luke 19:28–38, focusing on Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem on a colt, the crowd’s praise and the meaning of Palm Sunday.
The hosts highlight memorable details like the disciples’ phrase "The Lord needs it," the practice of laying cloaks, the foreshadowing symbol of a cross-shaped marking on many donkeys, and the crowd shouting "Hosanna." They reflect on the people’s expectations of a political king versus Jesus’ true mission.
The episode ties the biblical passage to the power of music in worship, offers personal reflections and a closing prayer, and invites listeners to respond to Jesus’ call to give their hearts to him.

In this episode the hosts move from the Zacchaeus story and its catchy children’s song into Jesus’ parable of the nobleman and his servants (Luke 19). They read how a man gives his servants minias (large sums of money) to invest while he is away, and how each servant’s response—earning, modest gain, or burying the money—reveals different attitudes toward fear, stewardship, and faithfulness.
The conversation connects the parable to real life: we are given unique gifts and talents to use for God’s kingdom during the time between Christ’s coming and return. The hosts reflect on how fear can cause people to hide their gifts, while trusting God and investing what we have—serving one person at a time—can multiply impact and growth.
They also note historical details (a minia equals 100 denarii, talents as large units of currency), parallels with Matthew’s parable of the talents, and practical takeaways: use what God has given you, serve others, and trust God’s purposes so you can hear “Well done, my good servant.”

This special, low-energy episode opens with the hosts joking about having no coffee and sharing a childhood Bible song before turning to Luke 19. The episode focuses on the story of Zacchaeus, a wealthy chief tax collector who climbed a sycamore fig tree to see Jesus.
When Jesus calls Zacchaeus by name and decides to stay at his house, Zacchaeus immediately shows repentance: he promises to give half his possessions to the poor and to repay anyone he cheated four times over. Jesus declares that salvation has come to his home and reminds listeners that the Son of Man came to seek and save the lost.
The hosts discuss historical context about tax collectors, Zacchaeus’ eagerness to see Jesus, and how genuine faith produces outward actions. They emphasize that no one is an "untouchable" to Jesus and reflect on the power of personal transformation and mercy.
The episode closes with prayer and encouragement, inviting listeners to accept that salvation is available to everyone and to let faith be shown through changed behavior.

In this episode Jim Goble introduces his new book, The Green Circle, a simple tool he developed to help people put problems into perspective and focus on what they can control. The hosts discuss how the model grew out of a workplace situation, its practical uses in family, sports, school and church, and how prayer and perspective bring people back into the ‘green circle.’
They then study Luke 18:35–43, the story of a blind beggar in Jericho who loudly calls out to Jesus as "Son of David." Despite being rebuked by the crowd, the man’s faith leads Jesus to heal him; he receives his sight, praises God, and follows Jesus. The episode highlights the beggar’s bold faith, the contrast between spiritual insight and religious blindness, and the call to bring our struggles to God in prayer.
Personal reflections—like a frightening hospital moment—illustrate how trusting God brings peace and perspective. The episode closes by encouraging listeners to shout their faith, seek God’s help in hard places, and live with gratitude when prayers are answered.

This episode opens with a proud announcement: the host and his wife have published books, including Lisa Goble’s new athletic devotional God > Game, a simple 365-day guide with scripture, journaling prompts, prayers, and a daily word to focus on. The conversation then turns to Luke 18: the rich young man who asks Jesus how to inherit eternal life, Jesus’ challenging call to sell possessions, and the heart issue of what we place before God. The hosts unpack the meaning of “What is impossible with man is possible with God,” Peter’s heartfelt response about leaving everything to follow Jesus, and Jesus’ promise that sacrifices for God will be repaid in this life and the next. The episode closes by covering Jesus’ third prediction of his death and resurrection, and how the disciples struggled to understand until they witnessed the risen Christ.

In this episode the hosts explore the Gospel of Luke — its unique stories and how Luke’s research adds depth to familiar accounts. They reflect on Jesus blessing the children, the value of childlike faith and curiosity, and why children offered relief and hope amid adult struggles.
The conversation then turns to Luke 18:18–30, where a wealthy ruler asks Jesus how to inherit eternal life. Jesus challenges him to sell his possessions and follow, exposing the heart issue beneath legalistic good works. The hosts unpack the meaning: salvation is a gift from God, not earned by achievements, and wealth or self-sufficiency can hinder true dependence on God.
Throughout the episode they highlight key Luke-only passages, discuss how eyewitness accounts shaped Luke’s Gospel, and end with practical application: examine your heart, remove anything more important than God, and trust that what seems impossible for people is possible with God.
