What happens when the body of Christ attacks itself? In this eye-opening conversation, pastors from different backgrounds tackle the alarming phenomenon of church division and its devastating impact on our collective witness.

During a powerful reflection on the "Together Conference 2025," our guests share raw, unfiltered truths about the walls we've constructed between denominations. One pastor brilliantly compares church division to an autoimmune disorder—when the body fails to recognize its own parts and attacks itself. This profound metaphor frames a discussion that challenges every believer to reconsider how we interact with churches outside our immediate circles.

You'll hear firsthand accounts of what happens when churches unite instead of compete. From youth services bringing together hundreds of teenagers across denominational lines, to miraculous moments of synchronicity when worship leaders and pastors find themselves expressing identical thoughts without planning—these stories illustrate the supernatural connection that emerges when we prioritize Kingdom over institution.

The conversation takes a deeply personal turn when Bobby shares his journey with sarcoidosis, a chronic health condition that closed the door to his family business but opened unexpected pathways into ministry. His testimony powerfully demonstrates how God often redirects our paths through circumstances we'd never choose, equipping the called rather than calling the equipped.

This episode doesn't just identify problems—it offers a vision for what church could be when we embrace authentic unity. You'll walk away with practical insights on breaking patterns of complacency, building genuine connections across church lines, and cultivating a community that makes outsiders want to belong.

Ever had one of those days where everything seems to go wrong from the moment you wake up? In this refreshingly honest episode, Tyler arrives stressed and the guys immediately rally to cheer him up, revealing how friendship can be the ultimate stress-reliever when life feels overwhelming.

The celebration of Tyler's twins' gender reveal brings lighthearted energy as the hosts share how Michael nearly ruined the entire event by accidentally biting into a special cake pop before the announcement. The reveal that Tyler and his wife are expecting both a boy and a girl leads to a touching discussion about their carefully chosen names that honor family heritage on both sides.

As the conversation shifts to stress management, the brothers open up about their personal struggles and coping mechanisms. From Michael's quick gaming breaks as well as vinyl record listening sessions, they explore practical ways to reset when feeling overwhelmed. They dive deep into how our physical wellbeing directly impacts our mental state, with candid discussions about diet challenges, intermittent fasting experiences, and how exercise releases stress-fighting endorphins - even when finding the motivation to start moving feels impossible.

The episode takes several hilarious turns, including possibly the worst rhinoceros impression ever recorded on a podcast and a spirited debate about the ethics of eating while driving. The guys close by sharing their Father's Day experiences and discussing upcoming entertainment, from new music releases to movie recommendations.

Whether you're navigating your own stressful season or just need some genuine laughs, this episode offers both practical wisdom and the comforting reminder that we all struggle sometimes.

The wilderness seasons of our lives often feel like punishment, but what if they're actually preparation? In this thought-provoking episode, the Almost Brothers tackle the challenging concept of waiting in a world obsessed with immediate results and overnight success.

Mike shares how his 20 years of behind-the-scenes ministry work prepared him for his current platform, drawing a powerful parallel to photography: just as film must be developed in darkness before a beautiful image emerges, our character and purpose often develop best in those obscure, unseen seasons. "You have to be developed in the darkness before you can ever see what the picture looked like," he explains, offering a fresh perspective on those frustrating periods of waiting.

The guys coin a powerful phrase during their discussion: "If you're too big to serve, you're too small to lead." This encapsulates their exploration of how leadership requires humility and a willingness to do unglamorous work. They share personal examples of cleaning toilets and vacuuming churches—even as pastors—highlighting that no task should be beneath a true leader. This counter-cultural message challenges our instant-gratification mindset where platforms are desired without the foundational work of serving others.

Looking at biblical examples like David, who spent years as a shepherd before becoming king, they reveal how these waiting periods aren't wasted time but essential preparation. Whether you're waiting for a career breakthrough, ministry opportunity, or personal relationship development, this episode offers perspective, hope, and practical wisdom for navigating your wilderness seasons with purpose. As Tyler reflects on his 3.5-year wait before expecting twins, the message becomes clear: sometimes what feels like God saying "no" is actually His preparation for something even better He has planned.
