This is the final episode of InsideThe Outhouse.
Not because it failed—but because it's working. What began as a place to unload became something deeper, and now, it’s time to grow!

Fear isn’t the warning sign—it’s the doorway. In this episode, we talk about bold faith, letting go of what no longer fits, and why living authentically will cost you comfort and relationships. If you feel called to stand up, stop playing small, and move forward without all the answers, this episode is for you.

What if some of the most meaningful work we’re called to do looks… ordinary?
In this episode, we explore Christmas through the lens of fatherhood, presence, shared meals, and honest conversation—and how simple acts, such as making breakfast or asking better questions, can quietly change lives. This is a conversation about slowing down, showing up, and redefining what “God’s work” really looks like in everyday life.

This episode started with a totally normal Thanksgiving question:
“Hey babe… where do you wanna get buried?”

Thirty minutes later, we were planning a funeral that included taxidermy, photo ops, and the strong possibility of someone yelling, “Pull my finger.”

We laugh a lot in this one. And then—without warning—it gets real.
Because somewhere between funeral jokes and awkward family silence, we stumbled into a truth most people avoid: way too many of us are just existing… waiting for someday.

This episode is funny, uncomfortable, and oddly motivating.
Consider it a friendly nudge to start living before someone else plans your funeral.
