In this week’s Weekend Joyride, Mac and Rhoni take you on a ride through faith, memory, and everyday adventures. We start with a reflection on the cornerstone of our faith, shift into how something as simple as the smell of dirt can stir deep memories, and wrap things up with a side trip into Austin — first to the UT Surplus Warehouse and then into the winding maze of IKEA. Along the way there’s laughter, lessons, and reminders that joy is found in both the big and the small.

The Weekend Joyride airs Saturdays at 11 AM & 5 PM and Sundays at 1 PM on Joy512.com.

This week’s ride brings small-town Texas to life and zooms out to a national heartbeat of faith, heartbreak, and hope.

Mac sits down with journalist Dakota Morrissey to talk about Llano — its charm, quirks, and stories from the courthouse square to the hippie juice bar. But the episode takes a turn with a raw and reverent reflection on the loss of Charlie Kirk and the call to live boldly for faith, truth, and unity.

Rhoni and Mac then shift to music — the "battle songs" of worship that strengthen the spirit and steady the soul when the world shakes.

🎧 You’ll laugh, nod, and maybe even tear up — but you’ll leave filled.

This episode features:

• An insider’s guide to Llano, Texas with Dakota Morrissey
• A powerful tribute to Charlie Kirk and the legacy of faith he sparked
• Worship songs that help you fight the battles life throws your way
• A heartfelt prayer for healing and hope
