A Case of the Mondays

🎙️ A Case of the Mondays – Episode 19Looking Up Instead of Looking Down
This week the guys are back together for another round of conversations that somehow go from camping mishaps and Home Run Derby highlights to the moon landing, conspiracy theories, parenting, and why our phones may be stealing more from us than we realize.
Lucas shares a camping trip that started at the wrong campground, a weekend spent disconnected from technology, and a simple moment reading Proverbs with his daughter that became one of the biggest wins of the week. The conversation turns into a challenge for all of us to spend less time looking down at our screens and more time looking up—at our families, God's creation, and the moments that really matter.
Along the way, the guys react to YouTube comments, debate whether bicycle kicks are really that difficult, relive college memories of Little Caesars and Taco Bell, discuss National Moon Day, and wander into one of their favorite rabbit trails on government conspiracies. As always, it's a little bit of faith, a little bit of family, and a whole lot of randomness.

🎙️ A Case of the Mondays – Episode 18Influence Matters (with Kent "Kat" McCoy & Wes Akers)
This week we're joined by special guests Kent "Kat" McCoy and Wes Akers for a conversation about influence, intentional parenting, faith, and the people who shape the next generation.
The guys recap family adventures to Petit Jean State Park, anniversary trips to Branson, Dude Perfect Live, and life with newborns before diving into a bigger conversation about the influence we have as husbands, fathers, friends, and followers of Christ.
Along the way, we discuss raising kids, making the most of every season, Christian voices in culture, the impact of Promise Keepers, Revelation's seven churches, marriage, conviction from the Holy Spirit, and why the little moments with our families often become the ones that matter most.
Whether it's dancing with your daughter before work, hiking with your kids, or watching role models point the next generation toward Jesus, this episode is a reminder that influence matters—and that the way we live today shapes the people around us for years to come.

This week we're talking close calls, mission trips, parenting, and the importance of standing firm in the truth.
Lucas shares the frightening story of Cameron's allergic reaction that led to an emergency room visit and how quickly an EpiPen can make all the difference. TJ recaps a week serving on a youth mission trip in Oklahoma, where students shared the Gospel through sports camps and learned firsthand about different world religions.
