It’s a full-on Fun Friday on The Steve Marston Show! Steve kicks things off by breaking down what biblical meditation really means—and why slowing down in Scripture (Joshua 1 and Psalm 1) can transform your faith. Then it’s time to crank the fun level to 11 with a hilarious look at a “Top 10 Things in Heaven” list from The Babylon Bee.

Plus, Adam Holz from Plugged In joins the show to talk new movies, including I Can Only Imagine 2, and the annual Plugged In Movie Awards. Steve also answers listener questions about biblical meditation, church on Sundays, medicine and faith, zombies, and even March Madness picks.

Oh—and yes, there are dad jokes. Because faith and fun both matter around here.

Think of it as a “200-level” discipleship course: deeper than the basics, but still practical, relatable, and real.

Each episode blends biblical truth, cultural commentary, and honest talk about marriage, parenting, identity, and what it looks like to put God first in a busy, distracted world. Along the way, Steve sits down with guests God is working through, highlights stories of transformation, explores what’s happening in the news through a Christian lens, and—yes—delivers a steady dose of dad jokes.

Serious about faith. Serious about fun. And serious about helping you live like Jesus where it matters most.

Fun Friday: Biblical Meditation, Babylon Bee’s Heaven List & Plugged In Movie Awards - February 20, 2026

On this episode of The Steve Marston Show, Steve tackles one of the hardest questions Christians face: If God is good, why do bad things happen to good people? Taking an honest look at suffering, eternity, and trusting God’s bigger plan, Steve explores how believers can respond to difficult questions from skeptics and seekers alike.

Plus, another edition of “That’s Not in the Bible” challenges the popular advice to “follow your heart” and explains why Scripture points us to trust God instead. Steve also answers listener emails about faith and works, whether Job was a real person, and even how Christians should tip at restaurants.

Special guest Tyler Marston joins the show to discuss the 1189 Project, a chapter-by-chapter journey through the Bible, and what Deuteronomy teaches about blessings, curses, and obedience. All that plus the verse of the week and a classic dad joke.

Who Created God? Solomon’s Warning & the Heart of Chaplaincy - February 25, 2026

On this episode of The Steve Marston Show, Steve tackles one of the most common atheist arguments: “You reject 29,999 gods — I just reject one more.” What’s the real response?
