The God’s Got Jokes Podcast

Parenting in the age of the "scroll" isn't easy. 📱✨
In our latest episode, Joe and Betsy sit down for a heart-to-heart on the pressures of social media, the beauty of boundaries, and why "chasing Jesus" has to come before chasing the perfect aesthetic.
We’re getting real about:
The Comparison Trap: How to stop measuring your family against a curated feed.
Faith-First Parenting: Practical ways to lead your kids toward Christ.
Finding Your Village: Why small-group connection is a lifeline, not just a luxury.
This is our final episode before we head into our summer break! Tune in to get encouraged, get practical, and remember that God has your family in His hands.

When the Bible is hard to read. 📖
Joe and Betsy are sitting down with one of the toughest chapters in 2 Samuel: the death of David’s child. It’s a story that brings up all the big questions, suffering, sovereignty, and the "whys" that don't always get an answer.
They’re sharing their honest wrestling match with these truths, but they don't leave it in the struggle. Join the conversation as they pivot to how we chase Jesus in the "middle" of life through parenting, prayer, and the steady, ordinary rhythms that build a faith that lasts.
Refining the rhythm:
Honest questions vs. Divine sovereignty
Finding Jesus in the daily grind
The power of showing up

Let’s be honest: it’s easy to pick the "feel-good" verses and keep our faith tucked away where it’s safe. But is that what we’re called to? 📖✨
• Why we shouldn't flip past the "difficult" parts of the Bible.
• Staying curious about worldviews different from our own.
• Moving from "comfortable faith" to intentional engagement.

Happy Easter! As we celebrate the Resurrection, Joe and Betsy are back for Part 2 of our conversation on sharing the Gospel. Today, we’re getting honest about something we all face: Pride.
It’s easy to want to be the one who "closes the deal," but what happens when we’re called to be the ones who just... wait?
We’re diving into:
* 1 Corinthians 3: Why one plants, another waters, but only God gives the growth.
* The "Barnabas" Way: How to be a son of encouragement and champion others.
* The Woman at the Well: Finding joy in the ripple effect of a single conversation.
Let’s trade the pressure of "results" for the joy of humble service.
 
God is at work in the big and the small. If you've had a chance to share the hope of the Gospel this week, we want to hear about it!

Key Takeaways:
* Be Available: God uses the willing, not just the "experts."
* Share Your Story: Nobody can argue with what Jesus has done for you.
* Trust the Process: You plant the seed; God handles the growth.
