What does it really look like to live more like Jesus—especially when you've made a mistake and hurt someone along the way?

On this Fun Friday edition of The Steve Marston Show, Steve shares a powerful example of Christian humility involving Pastor Nathan Mudd, former Newsboys singer Michael Tait, and Randall Crawford. When a social media post intended to demonstrate grace and forgiveness caused unexpected pain, Pastor Mudd did something remarkable: he listened, apologized, and personally reached out to someone who had been hurt.

It's a reminder that following Jesus isn't just about what we believe or say. It's about how we respond when we're wrong, how we treat others, and whether we're willing to put humility into action.

But it's Friday, so there's plenty of fun along the way!

In This Episode:


Grace, Forgiveness & Accountability: What Pastor Nathan Mudd's response to criticism teaches us about humility, compassion, and living out our Christian faith.


The Unwritten Rules of Church Potlucks: Steve delivers 12 hilarious observations about church fellowship meals, including sacred potato salad, mysterious casseroles, the last deviled egg, and the people who mysteriously disappear when it's time to clean up.


Christian Persecution in China: Pastor Ezra Jin receives recognition for his courageous stand for religious freedom and his advocacy for imprisoned believers.


Artificial Intelligence & the Human Heart: Christian author Abdu Murray raises important questions about AI, human identity, spiritual discernment, and our desire to replace God's authority with our own.


A Wrestling Star Talks About Tithing: AEW wrestler Samoa Joe shares how biblical stewardship transformed his understanding of money, generosity, and his relationship with God.


Faith Between Our Ears: We wrap up our week memorizing Lamentations 3:22–23, a beautiful reminder that God's steadfast love never ceases and His mercies are new every morning.


Dad Joke of the Day: Because a little laughter belongs in every Friday!

Your Next Step: Think about someone you may have hurt, intentionally or unintentionally. Instead of defending yourself or ignoring the situation, consider what it would look like to demonstrate the humility of Jesus by listening, apologizing, and making things right.
