Thanks for joining us on Lightning Rounds! In today's episode, Andrew and Zach invited their best colorblind friend, Hollow Cobos, back to talk! The three amigos start off with a trivia segment called "Did I Need To Know That?" where they are presented with hilariously random trivia questions. Soon after the trio goes deep in thought and reflection in responding to a listener's question :
- "How do you actively surrender something to God? What does this look like in the life of a believer?"

Hey! Welcome to Lightning Rounds! Today, Andrew and Zach are joined by their friend Brenden McPeek to listen to him share his story of conversion. The trio uses this episode to tackle the subject of The Gospel. As a Christian, it is easy to let these subjects lose their true meaning in our everyday walk following the way of Jesus. Get ready for some laughs and a good reminder on these questions :
- "What is the gospel?"
- "Why do we need the gospel?"
- "How does the gospel change my life?"

Welcome to Lightning Rounds! In today's episode, everybody is in a good mood... with maybe a little bit too much laughing. Refuge Young Adults duo: Andrew and Zach, steal away Quincey McCook to talk through a couple of hilarious Youth Group Names and jump into the topic of how to study the Bible! This topic was inspired by this question from one of our listeners :
- "What are some questions to ask yourself to help you dive in deeper in your personal Bible study?"

Welcome to Season 2 of Lightning Rounds! In our first episode of this season, the duo Andrew and Zach are joined by one of their favorite guest hosts Joel Ronzheimer! They start off the conversation with a segment called: "Wait... What?!", joking on hilarious oxymorons. And the crew continues the Question & Response time with these 3 questions sent in from listeners :
- "If we want to walk like Jesus, we are called to forgive and walk in love; but if the person we choose to forgive continues to hurt us, when is it okay to completely “walk away” from that relationship?"
- "How do you balance those two ideas of being welcoming to the unsaved without being influenced in a bad way by them? And also how do you stand your ground on what you believe is right and true without sounding dogmatic and condemning?"
- "What makes porn such a problem? What are some ways to battle an addiction to it?"
