Chris shares his love for camp life and his entertaining choices for movie portrayals, sparking a hilarious game of "Which celebrity would play you?" With laughter echoing through our conversation, we also explore the charming chaos of Thanksgiving, ranking those cringe-worthy moments that every family gathering seems to have. From clogged toilets to nosy questions about marriage, we recount our most amusing holiday stories that remind us why we love—and sometimes endure—Thanksgiving.
But it’s not all fun and games; we take a reflective turn discussing the powerful role of music in our spiritual journeys. Music isn't just for entertainment—it's a conduit for worship and personal growth.

As the episode unfolds, we are inspired by insights from John Mark Comer's "The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry," urging us to embrace our limitations as part of a meaningful life. The discussion shifts to living with intentionality and the "unforced rhythms of grace" that Jesus offers. We explore how recognizing our human limitations can be a pathway to spiritual growth and a fuller presence in God's world. Through Chris’s stories and our reflections, discover how to slow down, embrace life’s imperfections, and find divine purpose in the everyday hustle.
