This is a bonus episode of the new podcast "The Love Reality Show". You can find it here. Please Subscribe and rate.

It’s the first-ever Love Reality Show! Jonathan, Justin, and Rich go live with a rundown of gospel encouragement, family stories, and plenty of trash talk.

In this episode:

• Wave One: What does James 1 really mean by looking in the mirror and forgetting what you saw? Jonathan makes the case that the mirror isn’t the law but Jesus, and that you were made to bear His image.
• My Wife and Kids: A scooter crash, a bad case of road rash, and a round of video games turn into a lesson from Colossians 3 on setting your mind on things above.
• Secrets from the Secret Place: Justin flew to Michigan to hear Dan Mohler preach, which raised a tough question. If we’d go that far to hear a man preach, why is it so hard to get up 30 minutes early to meet the Father?
• Doom Scroll: A little girl preaches about apologizing and repenting, and the guys unpack why forgiveness is a gift and not something we earn.
• Stir It Up: You can’t smell your own breath, and you can’t always see your own blind spots. Rich makes the case for having brothers who love you enough to be honest with you.

Plus Rich’s flag football heroics, which were against high school girls. Yes, you heard that right.

We catch up with David Hunt as he walks through job loss, grief, and financial uncertainty while staying grounded in God’s love. We talk about how meditating on the gospel reshapes identity, brings peace under pressure, and turns everyday work into a place to serve with joy.
• David’s last two years, from new family joy to deep loss
• navigating a layoff, severance, and the emotional swing of self-pity
• learning to notice spirals without adding shame
• job searching frustrations and AI screening realities
• building a life in the secret place through meditation on the Word
• grieving with hope after his mother’s death
• refusing to tie worth to productivity or a paycheck
• DoorDash as honest work, excellence, and a platform for love
• a car accident and practical provision through community support
• contentment in every circumstance, praise when life feels unfair
