Back Row Morning Show

What's the biggest misconception about marriage? Certainly some big ones are "once we get married, we won't fight all the time" or "once we get married, I won't struggle with this issue anymore." We set a trap for ourselves when we become convinced that marriage with solve all of our problems. IN THIS PODCAST: Special Guests: Kevin Welborn, Cipriano Martinez, & Megan Oaks Featured Music: "Woe is Me" by White Lantern Segment 1 - Game Time: We play "True Lies", where we take turns telling and defending a story about ourselves and the others must guess if it's true or if it's a lie. (This time, The Back Rowphy is on the line!) Segment 2 - Special Offering: My guests play "Questions Only", where they have to act out a scene, but are only allowed to ask questions. Segment 3 - Back Chat: We discuss the marriage misconceptions listed above, explore the Whisper app, and give our best advice to newly-wed and engaged couples.

We've already had 5 amazing episodes! And in this very short time, we've already had a cut a good amount of stuff because we just talk so much. Blabbermouths, us.

In TobyMac's first solo single, "Extreme Days", you here the sample, "And that's the bottom line", part one of Stone Cold's most famous catchphrases. There are a lot of Christians who love wrestling, which is no surprise, since some of the biggest names in the business have been Christians themselves!

With the never ending stream of comic book movies coming out, the dozens of dozens of comic books still churning out each Wednesday, and Netflix & the CW pulling out some of the greatest comic-based TV shows of all time, it seems that superhero stories are woven into our lives more than ever before.

Every now and then, we will do an episode of The Back Row Podcast that is a little more serious in tone, focusing more heavily on the "healing" aspect of The Back Row. These will usually feature testimonies or interviews with guests on more serious topics.

The Back Row Podcast has officially launched! And we couldn't be more excited over here! We've been toying with the idea of a Podcast for at least a year, but just before Christmas, we actually started to map out what it could look like and what we would be able to offer. It took a lot of back and forth and a lot of pros and cons. Of course, we settled on an (approximately) half hour show featuring both humor and healing aspects, as that is the only cocktail we like to mix around these parts. We wanted to use this landing page this time around to thank all of you for your support, especially all of you who have been yelling at me, "You should do a podcast" for the last 3 years. Specific shout outs to Steffanie Marion, Keriann Weger, Bubba Stallcup, & Derek Jordan, the generous donors who helped us buy a professional-sounding microphone, which was the one piece of the puzzle that was missing. Also, big thank you to Kevin Reddoch. He created most of the theme and bumper music we use on our show. IN THIS PODCAST: Special Guests: Kevin Welborn & John Birkey Segment 1: Game Time - We welcome the new by paying tribute to the old! We play our favorite game from the old "The Back Row with Matt & Marty" YouTube show - "Osteen or Fortune Cookie!" Segment 2: The Brody Group - Brody the Puppet takes over the show to discuss some of the latest Christian news with our guests. Segment 3: Back Chat - We discuss humor and it's role in our faith lives, how it's important to not take ourselves too seriously, and how laughter is often a gift from God.
