This special Christmas episode opens with a spirited debate over the greatest Christmas movies of all time—from Elf and Christmas Vacation to the controversial claim that Die Hard really is a Christmas movie. But the conversation takes a surprising turn when Host Steve Wyatt makes the case that Home Alone may be the most Christian Christmas movie of them all—once you see what’s been hiding in plain sight.  From there, the team tackles NFL money talk after Odell Beckham Jr. downplayed his $100 million contract, sparking a deeper discussion about entitlement, stewardship, and why money makes a terrible master. Using real stats and real talk, the crew breaks down why financial gifting doesn’t equal personal greatness—and why contentment can’t be bought.  The episode closes with one of the most powerful Christmas teachings of the year. Steve walks through the shepherds’ encounter with the angel, explaining why fear is the natural response to God’s holiness—and why Christmas changes everything. The call is simple but profound: fear not, behold Christ, give God glory, and discover the peace that only comes when your eyes stay fixed on Him.  For more from Wyatt Matters, head to https://www.wyattmattersshow.com/ Join the newsletter, learn about the cast, and find faith-based resources that go deeper.

This week’s episode opens with the internet’s favorite pastime: hating on Travis Kelce. The crew breaks down why America’s “most hated” NFL player is catching heat... not for touchdowns, but for allegedly never arguing in his relationship. Then things escalate quickly when a Florida man fires shots in a bar fight over… how many eggs a chicken can lay. Yes, really. Welcome to humanity. But Host Steve Wyatt takes the madness somewhere meaningful. Through hilarious personal confessionals—keys lost in pockets, snarky emails, explosive diarrhea mid-sermon—the team unpacks why we overreact to small things and how unresolved wounds fuel big explosions. Then Steve delivers a powerful teaching on singing in the storm: Paul praising God in prison, a lone musician on Bourbon Street after Katrina, and the biblical call to choose joy even when life collapses around you.

This week opens with one of the wildest Hot Takes we’ve ever covered, a Canadian rapper who tried filming a music video while wing-walking on a plane and paid the ultimate price. That launches the crew into a hilarious but honest conversation about confidence outrunning competence, instant regrets, childhood humiliations, and the dumb choices we all make. Then the show shifts to NFL fan outrage after Cam Skattebo dared to smile, stand up, and enjoy life while recovering from a brutal ankle injury. His response, “I’m having a good time while dealing with a tough time,” becomes the heartbeat of this episode. Host Steve Wyatt unpacks what the Apostle Paul called “sorrowful yet always rejoicing” and explains why biblical joy is not the absence of pain but the presence of Jesus in the storm. From Peter walking on water to a miraculous phone-booth story that proves God knows exactly where you are, this episode calls you to trust the One who sees you, rescues you, and never shows up late.

The episode starts light... a dad misreads a prank, body-checks the wrong “suspect,” and ends up the punchline of a viral TikTok. But things turn serious fast as the team discusses a Nigerian man rescued from suicide, then attacked by the very crowd that saved him. Host Steve Wyatt moves from mob mentality to the Lord’s mentality, walking listeners through Moses’ metaphor of the eagle... how God stirs, strips, flips, watches, prays, and ultimately rescues. If you’ve ever wondered why God lets storms hit, why He removes comfort, or why your life suddenly feels upside-down, Steve explains how those very storms grow your wings. It’s one of the most personal, hope-filled episodes yet—perfect for anyone walking through fear, loss, doubt, or uncertainty.

This week’s “Leftover Laughs” kick off with a smart toilet that tracks your… well, everything, Scandinavian countries with no word for “please,” and a truckload of escaped monkeys that turned the highway into a bad sci-fi movie.

Drawing from Elisha’s story and real conversations about addiction, surrender, and the Holy Spirit, Steve and longtime friend John Samples explore the difference between numbing yourself and truly being filled with power.

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.

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 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.

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 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. Visit https://www.wyattmattersshow.com for more conversations that matter.

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.

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. Visit https://www.wyattmattersshow.com for more hope-filled conversations that meet you where you are.

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. Catch every episode at https://www.wyattmattersshow.com/ and discover bold takes, biblical insight, and encouragement you can trust.

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.

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.

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. Visit https://www.wyattmattersshow.com for more hope-filled conversations that meet you where you are.

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.  Visit https://www.wyattmattersshow.com for weekly gospel-centered encouragement, bold truth, and hope that holds.

A guy on live TV is absolutely convinced parking meters are ripping him off. He just forgot how math works.

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.

We open with Hot Takes—starting with the viral moment President Macron’s wife appears to slap him on camera. Was it playful? Controlling? Just awkward? Then we dive into the tragic rise of “Run It Straight,” a viral challenge where young men charge full-speed into each other for clout. It’s not just reckless—it’s a cry for purpose. From slap-happy presidents to savage influencers, the real issue is power—and how we misuse it. Pastor Steve Wyatt brings a truth-packed message from Ephesians: God’s incomparably great power is already in you.

Do you really need to shower every day? Is your toilet seat cleaner than your water bottle? The team has fun debunking hygiene myths while reflecting on what really makes you clean—inside and out. Then we pivot to the draft-day drama surrounding Shedeur Sanders, son of Coach Prime. Once projected to go #1 overall, Shedeur fell to the fifth round—and a fan is now suing the NFL for $100 million. But the real question is: why did Shedeur fall so far? Was it racism? Politics? Or pride? Host Steve Wyatt and the crew unpack what scripture says about ego, humility, and divine opposition. Because in God’s economy, the lowly are lifted—and the proud stumble. If God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble, how should we walk today?

We open with Hot Takes—including a four-year-old who calls 911 after his mom eats his ice cream (justice is served, sprinkles included).

Or is this exactly what grace looks like? Then host Steve Wyatt leads us deep into the powerful, bloody, and beautiful thread that runs from Genesis 3 to Golgotha. Why did God demand blood?

But what does it really say about love, power, image, and identity? The team tackles this high-profile relationship and asks deeper questions: Is this love—or just another search for security? Is he recapturing lost identity? Is she rewriting a painful past?

A Michigan man finds love after getting stuck waist-deep in sand (seriously), and Katy Perry’s 11-minute almost-space flight becomes a masterclass in self-promotion gone wrong. The team explores how chasing attention can sometimes leave us looking desperate instead of strong. Then host Steve Wyatt shows us a better way: Real inclusion doesn’t come from promoting yourself—it comes from being chosen by God.

From a stranger crashing a wedding karaoke session (and stealing everyone's hearts) to Larry the llama escaping a Seattle petting zoo, the team reflects on how taking risks—big or small—can sometimes lead to the best stories. But are there times when breaking free leads to disaster instead? Then Pastor Steve Wyatt leads us through a raw, honest conversation about John the Baptist, unmet expectations, and what to do when God's answers aren't what we want. It’s rarely the answer you want—but it’s always the one you need. When God seems silent, it’s not because He doesn't care—it’s because He’s doing something deeper.

We open with Hot Takes that are anything but flavorless! What happens when the Ohio Supreme Court rules that “boneless chicken wings” don’t actually need to be boneless? Or when an “all-you-can-eat buffet” runs out of food? The team dives into a hilarious but meaningful discussion on how language is losing its meaning—and why that matters. Then host Steve Wyatt invites us into something deeper: Words do mean things—especially when those words come from God.

We open with Hot Takes on the fallout from the unreleased Epstein client list, the Ohio Supreme Court’s baffling ruling on boneless chicken wings, and the strange contradiction of a Clean Water Act that doesn’t require clean water. Through humor and commentary, the team uncovers a deeper truth: we are a culture addicted to hiding. Then host Steve Wyatt asks the real question: What’s hiding doing to your soul? Drawing from Psalm 51 and the story of David’s public failure and private restoration, Steve shows that the longer we hide, the heavier the burden becomes. But when we confess, we don’t just find forgiveness—we find freedom. If it’s heavy, it’s time to let go.

Luke Skywalker (aka Mark Hamill) suffers an onstage wardrobe malfunction, and Meryl Streep escapes a wildfire by cutting through a fence with borrowed wire cutters.

From the quirky to the combustible, the crew unpacks Southern traditions, Appalachian grit, and what it means to overcome your past instead of being defined by it. Then host Steve Wyatt shifts the focus to King David—not the warrior, not the poet, not the king… but the broken, bitter cave-dweller at his lowest point. What happened when David gave up?

What do you do when your Amazon driver dumps 80 packages in the woods? Or when diehard Eagles fans go viral for berating strangers and ripping baseballs out of players' gloves? From delivery breakdowns to sports rage, the team discusses how our passions often go wildly off course—especially when we let fear, pride, or pressure call the shots. Then host Steve Wyatt takes us back to King David’s darkest chapter—when he wasn’t just dodging spears from King Saul, but dealing with betrayal from his wife, spies in his own home, and a literal spear thrown by his father-in-law… at his own son. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt opposed from every direction. The message? Don’t fight like Saul. Fight like David. Or better yet—don’t fight. Trust.

We open with Hot Takes on the Charlotte Hornets’ viral PR blunder—giving a kid a PlayStation 5 on live TV... then taking it away. Then we pivot to a surprisingly biblical farewell message from the outgoing U.S. Surgeon General, who encourages America to prioritize relationships, service, and purpose. Then host Steve Wyatt zooms in on David’s earliest years, exploring how even the “man after God’s own heart” faced rejection from family, opposition from kings, and the exhausting burden of public success. David’s story reminds us: God doesn’t avoid the messy parts—He uses them. In a world of self-comparison and hidden hurt, this episode invites us to embrace life’s turns and trust the One who writes the whole story.

We start with Hot Takes—from Bend, Oregon’s crackdown on “googly eye vandalism,” to a re-examination of Jimmy Carter’s presidency and legacy. Was Carter truly a failure? Or was his greatest success found after the Oval Office? Then host Steve Wyatt walks us into a deeper conversation about failure, shame, and restoration, through the story of the Apostle Peter. After denying Jesus, Peter went back to what he knew—fishing. But Jesus came for him, not with guilt or anger, but with grace. This episode is a reminder that Jesus still makes breakfast for broken people, and if your nets are empty—He’s not done with you yet.

A beloved college football mascot—Bevo the Longhorn—is banned from the Peach Bowl because of “safety concerns,” and the team isn’t buying it. Then we laugh (and cringe) our way through Home Alone’s greatest booby traps. Which one would hurt the most? And what does that say about the pain we carry? Then host Steve Wyatt dives deep into the danger of staying stuck in the past. From his golf instructor’s countdown trick to the story of Terah (Abraham’s father) in Genesis, Steve shows that it’s not always our enemies who stop us—it’s our unwillingness to move forward from grief, regret, or loss. God may not change your past, but He can still redeem your future—if you’ll stop staring at yesterday and take a step today.
