Wyatt Matters

This week opens with some laughs.. from a wedding guest who secretly ordered pizza during the reception to yet another viral “rapture date” that didn’t quite pan out. The crew unpacks why Christians keep falling for wild predictions and what it really means to live ready for Jesus’ return without losing your mind... or your pizza money.

Then host Steve Wyatt turns the focus inward with a raw, personal story of loss, suffering, and faith. Joined by lifelong friend Bruce Templeton, the two discuss comparison, contentment, and how God’s grace meets us in the middle of pain. The lesson is timeless: stop looking at “the other guy” and start trusting the One who holds your story.

Charlie Kirk called the church a life raft in a sinking culture. In this episode, Steve Wyatt and the team dig into why—even with flaws, failures, and frustrations—the local church is still God’s chosen plan for hope and healing.

From stories of childhood church chaos to real-life questions about hypocrisy and disappointment, the team unpacks why walking away from church isn’t the answer. When tragedy strikes and life feels unsteady, the truth is clear: you can’t love Jesus without also loving His church.

This week, the Wyatt Matters team sets aside the usual Hot Takes to reflect on what they call the most powerful five hours of television they’ve ever seen: the memorial service for Charlie Kirk. From politicians boldly proclaiming the gospel, to reconciliation between public rivals, to Erica Kirk’s stunning words of forgiveness—“Father forgive them”—the service became a showcase of hope, unity, and faith.

Host Steve Wyatt and the team share their personal reactions, stories of boldness, and reminders that the church still matters. From surrender to forgiveness to revival, the call is simple: don’t just watch history happen—be part of what God is doing now.

We’re serving up a listener favorite: when the Ohio Supreme Court ruled “boneless wings” don’t actually need to be boneless, and an “all-you-can-eat buffet” ran out of food. The Hot Takes fly, but the meaning is deeper — words matter.

Host Steve Wyatt reminds us that if human words carry weight, how much more do God’s? Whether life feels full or empty, steady or shaken, His Word is unshakable, and His promises will not fail.

We kick off with college football mascots and the unlikely star of Bowling Green State—Pudge the cat.

From there, the crew tackles “Weird-for-Jesus” Christians and why acting strange isn’t proof of faith.

Host Steve Wyatt challenges us to stop copying other Christians or blaming God when life gets hard. Instead, Scripture calls us to work out our own salvation—no comparing, no complaining, just following the unique path God has for us. The result? You’ll shine like stars in a dark world.

We start with a new dating trend called Shrekking—lowering your standards in hopes of better treatment. Then it’s the Cracker Barrel rebrand that sparked a storm of outrage online. Both raise the same question: why do we chase image, status, and pride when they rarely deliver what we want?

Pastor Steve Wyatt points us to a different way: the downward path. Following Jesus means emptying ourselves, serving others, and humbling our pride—because the way up in God’s kingdom always starts by going down. From Philippians 2 to real-world stories of leadership and humility, this episode is a call to let go of ego and let God lift you up.

Only in Denmark: a zoo invites families to donate their pets to feed the lions. Only in politics: Trump jokes that peace in Ukraine might secure his spot in heaven. Both stories expose how culture tries to make sense of life, death, and justice on its own terms.

Host Steve Wyatt shows why that never works — and why the Bible’s story still does. From Genesis to Jesus to us, Scripture is the one true narrative that grounds our chaos, answers our questions, and gives our lives purpose. The takeaway: don’t loosen your grip. Hold fast to God’s Word.

We start with a not-so-subtle wardrobe choice on a Carnival cruise—an upside-down pineapple shirt that accidentally sent the wrong signal. Then we dive into the strange new fad of adults using pacifiers to “cope” with stress. From purple rocks to Disney adults, the crew laughs through it all, but also asks: Why are we so quick to grab for shallow comforts?

From there, host Steve Wyatt unpacks what it really means to hold fast to God. Through the Shema and the wisdom of Proverbs, he calls us to plant our roots deep in the Lord instead of chasing cultural band-aids. The message rings true: when life shakes, grip the One who never moves.

This week’s show opens with a look back at July—a month that claimed some big cultural names, from Chuck Mangione to John MacArthur.
