Wyatt Matters #53 – "What the Crowd Says" + Hot Takes on Pumpkin Spice Mania, NFL Underdogs, and Why God Sees What Others Miss

Sunday, November 2, 2025

This week’s show kicks off with fall’s loudest tradition— pumpkin spice everything. From $7 lattes to pumpkin-scented cat litter and even “dude wipes,” the team laughs through the chaos of a culture obsessed with flavor fads and crowd trends.

Then host Steve Wyatt flips the focus to a story that defies the crowd’s voice— Brock Purdy, the last pick in the NFL draft turned Super Bowl quarterback. Through his story, Steve unpacks how God’s call always outweighs human opinion. The message builds to a powerful reminder: the crowd looks at your failures, but God looks at your heart.

No matter what the world... or even your own doubts... say about you, what the crowd says isn’t always so.

Wyatt Matters #52 – "Hunting for Crumbs or Casting Crumbs?" + Hot Takes on Florida Man Mayhem, Branded Weddings, and Why Playing It Safe Isn’t Living

Sunday, October 26, 2025

From alligator joyrides to “Hellmann’s Weddings,” the crew wraps Season One with laughter and lunacy—Florida-style. But as the laughs fade, Pastor Steve Wyatt delivers a powerful challenge drawn from King Solomon’s words: stop hoarding your crumbs and start casting them.

Whether it’s launching a dream, taking a leap of faith, or simply stepping out of comfort, this episode dares you to live fully. Safe may feel secure—but it’s rarely significant. The takeaway: life isn’t about crumb hunting. It’s about trusting God enough to throw your crumbs into the water and watch what He brings back.

Wyatt Matters #51 – "A Force Multiplier for Good?" + Hot Takes on Scented Alarm Clocks, Starbucks Kindness Chains, and Mercy That Moves Mountains

Sunday, October 19, 2025

The crew wakes up to the weirdest invention yet—a hotel alarm clock that releases the scent of bacon and coffee instead of noise. From there, they dive into real-life “force multipliers,” moments that make good go viral: Starbucks drive-thru kindness chains, GoFundMe miracles, and Erica Kirk’s powerful act of public forgiveness that inspired thousands to do the same.

Host Steve Wyatt connects the dots between everyday kindness and God’s call to live justly, love mercy, and walk humbly. His message: stop outrunning your pain. God’s goodness is already chasing you down.

Wyatt Matters #50 – "What About the Other Guy" + Hot Takes on Wedding Pizzas, Rapture Predictions, and Learning to Live Without Comparing

Sunday, October 12, 2025

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.

Wyatt Matters #49 – "Church Matters" + Honest Talk on Hurt, Hypocrisy, and Hope

Sunday, October 5, 2025

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.

Wyatt Matters #48 – Reflections on Charlie Kirk’s Memorial, Forgiveness, and Why the Gospel Still Changes Lives

Sunday, September 28, 2025

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.

Wyatt Matters #47 – "The Best Of" : Hot Takes on Language Gone Wild and the Power of God’s Word

Sunday, September 21, 2025

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.

Wyatt Matters #46 – "Figure It Out for Yourself" + Hot Takes on Mascot Cats, Pajama Heroes, and Why Weird-for-Jesus Isn’t the Way

Sunday, September 14, 2025

We kick off with college football mascots and the unlikely star of Bowling Green State—Pudge the cat. Then it’s a Florida man in Batman pajamas who stopped a thief, proving sometimes your wardrobe really does change your behavior. 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.

Wyatt Matters #45 – "Taking the Downward Path" + Hot Takes on Shrekking, Cracker Barrel Chaos, and Learning Humility from Jesus

Sunday, September 7, 2025

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.

Wyatt Matters #44 – "Hold Fast: to the Statutes" + Hot Takes on Feeding Fluffy to Lions,Trump’s “Heaven Math”, and the Bible’s Big Story

Sunday, August 31, 2025

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.

Wyatt Matters #43 – "Hold Fast - to the Lord Your God" + Hot Takes on Pineapple Signals, Stress Binkies, and Finding Real Strength

Sunday, August 24, 2025

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.

Wyatt Matters #42 – "Judging Gone Wild!" + Hot Takes on Toilet Scrollers, Sydney Sweeney Outrage, and the Only Judge Who Matters

Sunday, August 17, 2025

This week starts with a jaw-dropping stat — Americans spend 49 hours a year scrolling their phones in the bathroom. From “TikTok Tush” to toilet-as-a-desk confessions, nothing is sacred. Then we tackle the internet firestorm over Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle ad and the wild accusations it sparked about race, sexuality, and politics.

Host Steve Wyatt flips the script, showing why judgment is never our job. He unpacks why God made you, how to live a “worthy” life, and the Spirit’s role in convicting us of sin, righteousness, and judgment. It’s a direct call to self-reflection and grace — with one clear message: love well, live worthy, and let Jesus do the judging.

Wyatt Matters #41 – "A Familiar Refrain" + Hot Takes on Celebrity Goodbyes, Coldplay’s Kiss Cam Scandal, and Why Failure Isn’t Final

Sunday, August 10, 2025

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. Then we talk about the viral Coldplay concert video where two very married people got caught on the kiss cam with…not their spouses. The internet called it entertaining. Steve calls it something else: a warning.

Then host Steve Wyatt gets personal. He shares about his darkest failure, the “song” others still sing about him, and the young friend now going through the same thing. His message? Failure doesn’t mean final. If God still used Noah, Moses, and David—He’s not done with you either.

Wyatt Matters #40 – "Walking Around Waving Hammers" + Hot Takes on TSA Costco Chaos, Spouse-Shaming CEOs, and the Freedom of Forgiving

Sunday, August 3, 2025

We open with people trying to board planes using their Costco cards as ID—yes, seriously. Then, we unpack the viral post of a CEO publicly shaming her Navy officer husband for his “lack of accomplishments” and why the internet (and the Bible) called her out.

Finally, host Steve Wyatt takes us into one of the rawest realities of faith: forgiveness. Steve reveals how resentment festers when we “save stamps” instead of letting go and how Jesus sketched out a better way for us to follow.

Wyatt Matters #39 – "I Didn’t Get There by Wishing" + Hot Takes on Math Meltdowns, Cross-Waving Rock Stars, and What Real Love Requires

Sunday, July 27, 2025

A guy on live TV is absolutely convinced parking meters are ripping him off. He just forgot how math works. Then we dive into Red Jumpsuit Apparatus’ lead singer banning Trump voters from his concerts—while wearing a cross and claiming he’s the only one truly following Jesus. The panel unpacks what real love—and real Christian witness—should look like in divided times.

Then Steve Wyatt shares the core of Christian living in one line: “Walk in love.” Not sprint. Not show off. Just walk. And if you’re wondering how to live a real Christian life in a hostile world? It starts here.

Wyatt Matters #38 – "Learning to Be Like My Father" + Hot Takes on Runaway Pigs, TikTok Toddlers, and the Art of Imitation

Sunday, July 20, 2025

A pig running down the freeway. A mom reenacting her toddler’s meltdown about poop and rocks. It’s hilarious - until it hits home. We’re all imitating something. The question is: who?

This week, host Steve Wyatt unpacks what it really means to follow Jesus, not just believe in Him, but become like Him. Because faith isn’t about pretending to be good, it’s about walking like your Father.

Wyatt Matters #37 – "Hope Is Something You Do!" + Hot Takes on Stick Talk, Ruthless Hecklers, and the Action Required for Real Hope

Sunday, July 13, 2025

From a viral obsession with sticks (yes, really) to fans heckling pro athletes about their dead moms—this episode starts light, then hits hard. Steve Wyatt and the team explore what happens when decency dies and cruelty gets clicks.

Then, host Steve Wyatt unpacks one of the rawest and redemptive truths you’ll ever hear: Hope isn’t a feeling. Hope is something you do. Drawing from Scripture, dialysis sessions, and devastating loss, he offers a survival guide for anyone barely hanging on.

Wyatt Matters #36 – "Make the Break" + Hot Takes on B2 Bombers, NHL Consistency, and the Decision That Changes Everything

Sunday, July 6, 2025

We open this week’s show with Hot Takes on Operation Midnight Hammer—the incredible 37-hour B2 bomber mission that proved some of the most heroic work is done behind the scenes. Then we spotlight the NHL’s own quiet legend: Sidney Crosby, the only player in league history to score at least one goal per game across 20 straight seasons. What do military discipline and hockey greatness have in common? More than you think.

Finally, host Steve Wyatt brings it home: real spiritual transformation starts with a break—but it takes daily decisions to walk it out. If you’re tired of the cycle of repenting, relapsing, and repeating, this episode will help you move what God started on the inside to the outside.

Sunday, June 29, 2025

A banana, a podcast king, and the book of Ephesians walk into a studio…

This week, we break down proper banana etiquette (with a knife and fork?!), Joe Rogan’s surprising shift toward faith, and why so many people with “everything” still feel empty. Then host Steve Wyatt unpacks Ephesians 3 to remind us: salvation is free, but fullness must be pursued. God offers more—but ya gotta go get it.

Wyatt Matters #34 – "And Mommy Is… PINK!" + Hot Takes on Seagull Screeches, Viral Rumors, and Why Unity Isn’t Uniformity

Sunday, June 22, 2025


We kick off with cheese rolling, worm charming, and a live seagull screech—because yes, people are really competing for that. Then comes the darker side of going viral: the story of Mary Kate Cornett, falsely accused online and dragged through the digital mud with no proof and no apology.

In the heart of the show, Steve shares how a 2-year-old’s words—“Mommy is pink”—sparked one of the most honest conversations about race, beauty, and biblical unity you’ll hear this year.
