It just shows up.

Pastor Jason Mook got the word "leukemia" and couldn't even say it out loud for a month. Then came the twist he didn’t expect. His oncologist said, "we don't treat it. Just watch and wait." For a guy wired to fight, doing nothing might've been the hardest part of the whole diagnosis.

In this episode, Pastor Jason gets real about the diagnosis, the hard conversation with his wife Heather, and how they told their two young sons, without sugarcoating it or scaring them.

Then the conversation goes somewhere most podcasts won't: diversity, equity, and inclusion. Pastors Jason and Jim make the case that these aren't dirty words. God is the most diverse, most inclusive Being there is (John 3:16). But the enemy's been rebranding good words with bad definitions since the Garden, and Christians need to know the difference between what Scripture says and what culture's decided those words mean now.

Bottom line: feelings lie. God's Word doesn't move. And love without truth isn't love, it's just cowardice with a nice filter on it.

If you've ever had to trust God in the waiting, or wondered how to raise kids who know what they believe in a culture that keeps moving the goalposts, this one's for you.
