Happy Easter! In this episode of Story dram, Chris and Kory kick things off with Easter candy rankings and a surprisingly meaningful Holy Week idea—praying and sacrificing for someone far from God.

But the heart of the episode comes through a real-life story: Kory’s recent knee surgery and the unexpected spiritual shift that followed. What if the hard parts of life aren’t interruptions… but the point? What if “this” is the life God is using to form you?

From physical therapy to family travel chaos, the guys explore how to stop grumbling, embrace the present moment, and discover that even the “cost” might actually be the gift.

Because maybe it’s true: travel days are vacation days.

Holy Week is here—and while most of us know Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter, what about Spy Wednesday?

In this episode, the guys reflect on betrayal, friendship, and one honest email that transformed a simple tradition into something holy.

What in your life needs to be said? And who’s bold enough to say it?

Chris accidentally becomes an evangelist… for Ulysses S. Grant after diving deep into a 48-hour biography—and his staff pays the price. From 19th-century emails to unexpected insights about storytelling, Chris and Kory explore how what we consume shapes what comes out of us.

But the conversation turns when a simple story about a locked car reveals something deeper: ignorance doesn’t actually change reality—it just changes whether we face it.

Why do we sometimes avoid the truth? Does not knowing really make us freer? And what does it look like to trust that God’s way is actually for our good?

A mix of humor, history, and honest faith—this one goes deeper than you expect.
