- Ep. 12 - Prayer, More Than Just A RequestApr 22, 2026 · 50 minDo you treat prayer like a grocery list, only asking God for things while your heart stays restless and unhappy? Have you ever wondered if prayer is actually meant to be a way to talk to God and find real peace? Did you know that the way you talk to God often reflects how honest and vulnerable you are willing to be with the people around you? It’s time to stop running toward the next thing and start finding the stability that’s been waiting in the silence all along. Dive in and join us in this conversation.

- Ep. 11 - The Fast and the FamishedApr 17, 2026 · 54 minThey say fasting gives you unlimited energy and zen-like focus, but they forgot to mention that you’ll spend 18 hours a day staring at pictures of bacon on Instagram 😂 In this episode, Cody and I break down the incredible physical and spiritual benefits we’ve seen, balanced against the emotional trauma of missing out on late night snacks. It’s a deep dive into an Ancient practice, hosted by two people who just really, really want a cheeseburger! In this episode, we tackle: The Highs: Why we actually feel better than ever (when we aren't smelling fries). The Science: A layman’s look at why our bodies love a break from Golden Corral. The Struggle: Navigating a world that seems to be made entirely of carbs. The Spiritual Side: Finding discipline in the empty space. Grab a glass of water (it’s basically a meal, right?) and join us for the hungriest hour in podcasting. Interested in partnering with Shifting Thoughts or sponsoring an upcoming episode?

- Ep. 10 - Fill Your Cup (Part 2)Mar 22, 2026 · 33 minIn this episode, Cody and I challenge the modern addiction to constant stimulation by asking when you last sat in total silence, no screens, no books, and no noise, just to sharpen your mind in the presence of God. We explore how stripping away the world's input creates a rare, honest space where you can finally express your rawest emotions, even those feelings you’ve been afraid to admit to Him or yourself. By leaning into the quiet, we discuss how silence isn't just an absence of sound, but a powerful tool for spiritual clarity and the ultimate freedom of being 100% transparent with the Creator.

- Ep. 8 - Stonewalling: The Hidden PoisonFeb 17, 2026 · 1 hr 35 minStonewalling is the wall that shuts out connection and leaves a relationship in limbo. In this episode, we break down the hidden poison of going silent in a marriage. We explore both the internal impulse to shut down and the emotional toll it takes on the spouse left on the outside. It’s an honest look at our own experiences with this cycle, the damage it causes over time, and the hard work it actually takes to tear those walls down and start connecting again.

- Ep. 7 - Digital Dopamine: Numbing Our VulnerabilityFeb 10, 2026 · 1 hr 42 minIf your 30-day browser history was projected on a screen for your family, your friends, or your church to see, would you still be the man or woman they think you are? In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the "digital anesthesia" we use to escape our lives. We’ve become a culture that conquers our careers and our fitness, yet remains utterly defeated by the five-inch screens in our pockets. We explore how "emotional distance" is fundamentally breaking our ability to handle the messy, risky, and beautiful reality of being truly known by our spouses.

- Ep. 6 - The Ghost In the House Part 2: The Mental LoadJan 19, 2026 · 1 hr 44 minIn this episode, we pull back the curtain on the "Silent Adam" syndrome, a dynamic where us men can fall into the trap of providing a paycheck but abdicate the emotional, spiritual, and domestic leadership of the home. For many wives, this creates a "Mental Load" that feels like being a single mother. Whether you are the one carrying the weight or the one who has drifted away, this episode offers a roadmap to move from resentment back to a "one-flesh" partnership.

- Ep. 5 - The Ghost In The House Part 1: The Father's PresenceJan 11, 2026 · 1 hr 16 minAre you providing for your family, or are you just paying the bills? In this episode, we’re stripping away the "provider" mask to look at the gritty reality of the passive father—the man who is physically present but emotionally dead to his children. We explore why a father’s passivity leaves a son without a blueprint for manhood and a daughter with a broken filter for future relationships. It’s time to stop relying on your wife or the church to do the one job God appointed to you . Interested in partnering with Shifting Thoughts or sponsoring an upcoming episode?

- Ep. 4 - The Sigma Male is a LieDec 29, 2025 · 1 hr 15 minThe modern man is being sold a dream: build your empire alone, stay detached, trust nobody, and "hold your frame" at all costs. They call it being a Sigma. Solomon calls it Vanity. In this episode, we’re tearing down the myth of the "Lone Wolf" and looking at the brutal math of Ecclesiastes 4:9–12. We’re moving past the Red Pill talking points to look at the "Unhappy Business" of a man who wins the world but has no one to share the spoils with.

(Okay, maybe God used slightly different wording, but you get the point.) This episode, is all about men stepping up to the plate.

- Ep. 1 - Beyond The Red PillDec 1, 2025 · 1 hr 39 minIn this first episode of Shifting Thoughts , we talk about what really shapes a man’s identity. We look at red pill ideas about men, women, and power, and stack that up against a deeper, grace-shaped view of who we are. We share our own stories, where we bought into lies about manhood, and how finding our identity in Christ changes how we see ourselves, our wives, and the world around us.
