You ever watch the movie WALL-E and think, “No way that could be real”?

Well... buckle up.

This episode is PART TWO of our conversation about Artificial Intelligence — and it’s probably the most important thing you’ll hear all year. We dive deep into where AI is headed, how fast it’s moving, and why this isn’t just another tech shift... it's a total civilization shift.

Here’s what we talk about:

• The 3 groups emerging in the AI revolution (ownership, adapters, dependents)
• Why AI with a 180 IQ is already smarter than Einstein
• How 90% of jobs (yes, even lawyers and designers) are about to change
• The massive wealth opportunity coming... if you’re ready
• And the real reason we don’t need to fear any of it — because God is still God

This isn’t doom and gloom. It’s preparation. And it’s faith-forward. Let’s run toward this like David ran toward Goliath. 💥

In this episode, we ask a big, uncomfortable question: What does AI mean for our faith?

I (Bob) have been obsessed with AI lately—not just how it works, but what it means. And Linda? Well, she’s more on the “this-freaks-me-out” side of things.

So this conversation got real… fast.

We dive into:

• The theological implications of AI (yep, we went there).
• Why AI can reflect human creativity but will never have a soul.
• How idolatry sneaks in when we rely on AI more than God.
• Personal stories (like when our son was sick and we turned to AI first… before prayer).
• The Tower of Babel, the wisdom of God, and the crazy race toward immortality.
• Practical ways to steward technology without losing our soul.

Whether you're a tech-savvy believer or a skeptical scroller, this episode will help you think deeply—and biblically—about the tech shaping our world.

Everyone’s Freaking Out About Tariffs—But Here’s the Side No One Talks About

Let’s be real—every headline out there is yelling about doom and gloom: “Trade war! Economic collapse! Inflation!”

But what if there’s another side?

In this episode, we zoom way out and unpack the other perspective. The one you’re not hearing. The one that doesn’t sell fear, but maybe offers… a little bit of hope?

We get into:

• What tariffs actually are (yes, we break it down plain and simple)

• Why reciprocal tariffs aren’t necessarily “bullying”

• The surprising benefits most media outlets are ignoring

• How this could affect YOU: jobs, taxes, prices, and your kids' future

• And yes… we even touch on the real reason so many Americans are uncomfortable right now.

This isn’t about politics. This is about understanding the full picture—and getting equipped to respond with wisdom, peace, and practical steps.

You know that verse in Proverbs that says “the wealth of the wicked is stored up for the righteous”?

Yeah… we need to talk about that.

For years, I heard people quoting it like a divine scratch-off ticket. Sit back, wait long enough, and eventually, poof - someone else’s riches end up in your account. But what if that’s not what the Bible is saying at all?

💡 In this quick but powerful episode, we break down:

• What Proverbs 13:22 actually means (and why most people are getting it totally wrong)
• Why this isn't about spiritual favoritism, but financial behavior
• How meekness plays a hidden role in wealth-building
• The overlooked principle that made people thrive during the Great Depression
• Why debt is the opposite of biblical wisdom — and how to position yourself for peace, not panic

This isn't about sitting around waiting for God to drop blessings from the sky. It’s about living like Joseph in Egypt — wise, prepared, generous, and positioned for impact when the world starts shaking.

We’re not waiting for a miracle. We’re becoming one.

• Why chasing comfort might be the most expensive decision you ever make

For nine straight years, my business grew consistently. More revenue. More traffic. More impact. Then, suddenly, everything started going backward.

I had no clue what to do. I felt helpless. The numbers were bad—worse than I realized. And I remember thinking: God, did you bring me here just to let it all fall apart?

But what happened next changed everything.

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of the hardest season of my business—when we were spending $20K a month but only bringing in $11K. I share my raw, unfiltered journal entries from that time and the powerful realization that pulled me out of the pit.

If you're in a season where you're wondering if God is still moving in your life, this is for you.

Jamie Winship is back. Kind of. We are sharing pieces of a talk he gave where he shared some powerful insights about how he thinks about money. We loved them so we wanted to share them with you!

What happens when God takes away everything you thought you needed? What if the greatest financial lesson isn’t about making more but trusting more?

In this episode, we explore how God provides in ways we could never predict—whether it’s cash mysteriously appearing in a newspaper, a stranger covering a need at just the right moment, or learning the hard lesson that we can’t out-give or out-risk God.

We also share our own financial journey—times of abundance, times of struggle, and the unexpected ways God has shown up through it all. If you've ever wrestled with financial insecurity, struggled with trusting God in your provision, or just want to hear some mind-blowing testimonies of faith in action, this episode is for you.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• Why money can be one of the biggest barriers to truly trusting God

• How Jamie Winship and his family lived for two years with zero income and saw God provide

• The sneaky ways financial security can shift our trust away from God

• The power of childlike faith when it comes to provision

• Why you can't out-risk or out-give God

• How to break free from the world’s financial norms and live in God’s economy
