Our guest today is Chad Veach! He's the pastor of LA's Zoe Church and the author of books like "Worried About Everything Because I Pray About Nothing” and his latest, “I Bet You Think This Book Is About You.” We talk about pride and humility, and why it’s something Christians today can’t ignore. Also, the cast tackles the prosperity gospel, golf, Jesse's curious love of pranks, and the impact of celebrity culture on accountability. We also have the week's Slices — covering the major governmental intervention into broken McDonald's ice cream machines and a viral Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest that captivated New York City.

Today we're joined by worship artist Benjamin William Hastings! You probably know him from his years with Hillsong United, but now he's releasing some amazing solo music. We talk to him about his new project — and what he means when he says he's a "recovering Deconstructionist." Plus, it's an all-boys episode (we're sorry) and things go predictably off the rails. We have the week's Slices, and at the end of the show we have another edition of Ask the Cast!

This episode, we're joined by Dr. Francis Collins, a prominent scientist and Christian leader. We talk about the intersection of science and faith, exploring whether they can coexist and complement each other. He discusses the societal division regarding truth, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and calls for Christians to take action in bridging divides and restoring trust in science and faith communities. We also have the week's Slices, which gets way too into birds and travel magic, and a very dumb stunt taken against a fake Taylor Swift guitar. And at the end we play "Would You Rather: Fall Edition"!

Of course.
