In this special Fan Mail Friday re-run, originally recorded during our 36th-anniversary trip to Kona, Jay and I dive into your candid questions about marriage—intimacy after babies, navigating NFP, dating on a budget, perimenopause and HRT, staying close in busy seasons, and why Christ at the center changes everything. It’s honest, practical, and hope-filled (heads-up: rated “M” for Marriage). If you missed it the first time—or need the encouragement again—this one’s for you. Show up for your marriage—you’ll be encouraged.

Today we’re talking about a quiet power grab that most Americans won’t see until it’s too late: states moving to weaken—or outright override—your locally elected sheriff. Sheriffs answer to you, the voters, and that’s exactly why they’re being targeted.

I’m joined by Pierce County Sheriff Keith Swank to break down Washington’s Senate Bill 5974 and what it would really do: give unelected state bodies the power to disqualify, decertify, and effectively remove sheriffs the people chose. This isn’t about “standards.” It’s about who holds authority—citizens, or bureaucrats.

Also—quick update from Olympia: we recently showed up to push back on a major homeschool regulation bill, and by God’s grace, it was stopped in committee. Freedom isn’t free, and God’s people have to show up.

In every generation, God raises up shepherds who are willing to speak the truth—even when it costs them. In this Shepherds in the Storm episode, I’m joined by my friend Pastor Phil Hopper, lead pastor of Abundant Life Church, to talk about why the church was never meant to be silent. We unpack the fear keeping pastors quiet, why today’s biggest issues are biblical—not political—and why courage in the pulpit matters more than ever. If you’re a pastor, church leader, or believer longing for clarity and conviction in a confusing culture, this conversation will encourage you.
