Mike and Chris discuss the importance of speaking life into others and being intentional with our words. God numbers our days and knows exactly how long we are here so we never want to take anything for granted. Who can you build up and encourage today? What is God prompting you to say to someone right now? Don’t wait and take the opportunity to tell truth and speak life into someone.

No one wakes up with the goal of discouraging their child, however too often we provoke our children without even thinking about it. So why does this happen so often? Chris and Mike talk about some of the lessons they’ve learned on just how easy it is to be a jerk to our children vs being gentle, patient, loving, and kind as we disciple them.

What is anxiety? How can it manifest itself physically and mentally in someone? Mike and Chris discuss their personal experiences with anxiety and emphasize the importance of seeking support from a local community, whether it be friends, a church, or a small group.

They also discuss practical steps for managing anxiety such as time management, setting priorities, and taking care of one's physical and mental health. They highlight the power of Scripture in finding peace and comfort during anxious moments.

Chris Howard is in the hot seat as we talk about his story. We learn how a dysfunctional upbringing and lack of discipleship doesn’t prevent God from protecting, providing and giving purpose and showing how his power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).

In today's episode, we follow the path of Mike Mobley with stops in DFW, L.A., Nashville, and Austin. We find out that there isn't any acting when it comes to Mike being vulnerable and sharing how God keeps providing along the way to help him use his gifts in multiple ways. We also discuss Chris's sexy voice and get a surprise call.

Chris and Mike share the vision behind the Not Quite There podcast and set the stage for what subscribers can expect as we move forward together.
