Feeling Stuck? 4 Hidden Reasons You’re Not Growing Spiritually
Have you ever felt like your faith has stalled out? Like no matter what you do, you just can’t seem to grow? In this episode, Patrick and Keith unpack the surprising (sometimes hidden!) reasons that Christians get stuck and why many quietly give up on the hope of real transformation.
They’ll look at stories from the Bible that reveal how worldliness, appetites, excuses, and even the fear of others can keep us trapped. But there’s hope: when you know yourself and your weaknesses, you can start moving again. We hope this conversation helps you to reflect honestly, reset your expectations, and take the next step toward becoming more like Christ.

Why Most People Never Change (And How You Can)
Want to know the #1 reason most people don’t change? They’re not honest... with themselves, with others, or with God. The truth is that change rarely lasts because we often lie to ourselves about where we really are in life.
In this episode of Not Just Sunday, Keith and Patrick are digging into the surprising barrier that keeps us stuck: self-deception. They explore why honesty, especially radical honesty with God and others, is essential for real transformation, and how friends who speak the truth in love can help us break the self-deception cycle.
Tired of feeling stuck? Craving true transformation? We hope this conversation helps you take the first step forward.

You're Going to Die. Now What?
Death is unavoidable. So, why do most of us do everything we can to ignore it? In this episode, Patrick and Keith unpack why living with the end in mind is essential for following Jesus and becoming the person God calls you to be. They share how thinking about the end shapes your priorities, transforms your faith, and motivates you to become a saint one day at a time.
They dive into why our culture tends to avoid death talk and how that denial can stunt spiritual growth. They also touch on how the inevitability of death highlights the importance of holiness and character development now, not just in some distant future.
The two end by inviting listeners to ask hard questions about what kind of life and legacy they want to build before their time is up. We hope this episode inspires you to face the topic of death honestly, as this can spark real transformation and motivate you to pursue a full-time faith.

Can People Really Change?
You’ve been rescued by God, but you’re not yet fully resurrected. So, what about the in-between?
In this episode of Not Just Sunday, Keith and Patrick explore the process of real, lasting change: how it happens, how long it takes, and why it’s so much harder (and slower!) than we expect.
They break down the tension between God’s role and our responsibility, and why transformation isn’t about just trying harder; it’s about being trained by Jesus. From disordered loves to spiritual disciplines, they invite you to think differently about growth, progress, and what it means to follow Jesus over time.
You'll hear why change is about more than just willpower, what it means to be trained, and how God transforms our desires, not just our behavior.
If you feel like your growth is too slow or not enough, this episode is for you. Change is possible. But it’s not instant. And we hope you walk away from this one encouraged to let God lead the pace and the process.

It's Never Too Late to Become a Saint
What do you think of when you hear the word saint? Catholicism? Mother Teresa? Someone who's "holier-than-thou"? Someone you could never become?
In this episode of Not Just Sunday, Keith and Patrick challenge the myths around sainthood and unpack what it really means to be a saint in the Christian life. They discuss why sainthood isn't reserved for the spiritually elite, breaking down the two parts of being a saint: who you are and how you live.
They explore why all Christians are already saints, but are also actively becoming saints through God’s faithfulness, not just through human effort.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in your spiritual life, or like sainthood is for “those kinds” of Christians, we hope this episode encourages you to rethink what’s possible.
