In this episode of The Steve Marston Show, Steve gets real about the not-so-glamorous side of life—like coming home to a clogged bathroom drain—while unpacking what “great things from God” really means. He shares insights from a recent podcast conversation, explores how everyday faithfulness shapes our purpose, and welcomes special guest Vikki Parker to talk about her powerful book Sit on That Stump in Muddy Bottom. Together, they dive into trusting God through life’s deepest pits, hearing His quiet direction, and finding the diamonds hidden in our struggles. Plus, Steve brings encouragement with this week’s “Faith Between Your Ears” verse and a good laugh to close out the show.

It’s the debut of “Ask Steve Anything” and the questions came in hot: favorite Bible translations, dinosaurs in Scripture (yes, Leviathan counts), Cowboys playoff odds, whether Christians can lose salvation, pre-trib rapture, and why daylight saving time needs to die forever. Steve also drops the happy bombshell that he’s about to become Grandpa Steve, rants about missing Jesus in the Christmas chaos, and sits down with Pastor Joe Manning for a heartfelt chat on keeping Advent about the One who’s coming (and coming back). Ends, as always, with the Best Video on the Internet. Faith, fun, and zero filter.

Steve Marston returns from Thanksgiving with huge personal news: the Marston family is expecting their first grandchild in July! Joy is in the air… but the show also dives into the quieter side of the holidays. From the new “Find Jesus” nativity trend (the Christian answer to Elf on the Shelf) to a heartfelt conversation with Focus on the Family counselor Glenn Lutjens about grieving well when Christmas hurts. Plus the Christmas Mortgage Miracle is back, a new verse to hide in your heart (Romans 6:11), listener testimonies, and a few dad jokes for good measure. Celebration, comfort, and real hope – all in one episode.

Join Steve Marston as he takes a practical, joyful look at what it means to live like Jesus in everyday life. From grace and liberty to faith, family, and culture, Faith Between Your Ears blends real conversations, biblical truth, and a touch of humor to help you grow closer to Christ and have fun along the way.

We dig into “Faith Between the Ears,” a series about getting your mind lined up with what God already says about you. This week’s anchor is 2 Corinthians 5:17 — you’re a new creation in Christ, the old is gone, the new has come — and how that changes how you walk, not just how you talk.  Then Zach Rose from FCA jumps in with a wild recap of Fields of Faith: 5,000+ students across central Arkansas, hundreds of decisions for Jesus, and real stories from locker rooms and huddles. We also talk church, small groups, teaching hard Bible passages to kids, insane college football buyouts, and close with Tim Hawkins’ Top 10 Christian Karaoke Songs.

Today’s show digs into “faith between your ears” — training your mind to live like what God says is already true. We sit with Hebrews 11:1, talk about real faith vs. wishful thinking, and why hope in the Bible isn’t finger-crossing, it’s certainty. Then Tyler from the 1189 YouTube channel jumps on to walk through Luke 14 (the banquet), Luke 12 (trusting God’s judgment), and Luke 15 (the prodigal — and the older brother). We also read your life verses and the stories behind them, from Romans to Revelation, and yes, there’s family pumpkin drama, a going-out-of-business sale, and the best video on the internet.  

Steve vents (calmly… mostly) about a studio reroute through San Antonio and how to keep your cool when tech goes feral. Pastor Jim Scudder Jr. (InGrace) calls in with a front-row account from Israel during the recent hostage releases and why now might actually be a safe, meaningful time to visit. Plus: “Faith Between Your Ears” (Hebrews 11:1), a Thankful Tuesday shout, LSUS baseball’s White House moment, a local shop closing, and the best video on the internet featuring comic Derek Stofer.

Host Steve Marston opens the week on Faith Talk 99.5 with a heartfelt episode about mindset, faith, and perseverance. Joined by guest Dana House, Steve explores how faith shapes our daily lives and how one woman’s story—losing her infant son, holding on to joy through suffering, and later adopting five siblings—reveals the power of trust and renewal. Together, they remind listeners that a Christ-centered mindset isn’t just belief—it’s a way to live, love, and keep hope alive.

Steve kicks off a Fun Friday with a health update, weekend pep talk, and details on the free Faith & Liberty Summit (Nov 8). Guest Luke McCoy (Family Council) unpacks why Christians engage civic life—life, homeschooling, and religious liberty—then Adam Holtz (Plugged In) drops family-media picks, including the YouTube mockumentary The Promised Land and The Chosen Adventures. Plus: Babylon Bee bits and quick college/NFL picks to land your weekend smiling.
