Welcome to The Overflow—the bonus round of faith and real-life conversation with Brandon and Susan Thomas. Every week, they unpack the powerful insights, behind-the-scenes experiences, and personal reflections that didn’t quite fit into Sunday’s sermon. This is where the conversation gets practical, honest, and a little bit unscripted. Whether it's an encouraging word, a deeper dive into Scripture, or a hilarious moment from their week, Brandon and Susan bring fresh perspective and spiritual fuel to keep you going. It’s real talk, fresh takes, and full hearts. These are the conversations too good to cut and too real to miss.2025 Christianity Spirituality

  • The Church Has a Voice
    Jun 30 2026

    We believe the Church cannot stay silent when it comes to hot topics and current events. We talk about how we personally discern when to speak, what to address, and how to help families stand firm. Speaking up is not about chasing controversy, pleasing people, or joining every online outrage—it is about shepherding souls with clarity, courage, and love.


    QUESTIONS:

    1. When the culture is being loud, where do you most need the Church to bring biblical clarity?
    2. What makes it difficult for you to receive truth when it touches a personal, political, or cultural issue?
    3. How can you respond to hard topics with both conviction and compassion instead of fear, silence, or outrage?

  • What Can Women Actually Do in Ministry?
    Jun 23 2026

    The debate over women in ministry is loud, emotional, and often divisive—but what does the Bible really say? With humility and a desire to honor God’s Word, we look at the broader witness of Scripture, key passages often used in the debate, and the women God used throughout the Bible. This episode is not about cultural pressure or personal preference; it is about seeking truth and making room for Spirit-empowered men and women to use their gifts under biblical authority.


    QUESTIONS:

    1. What has most shaped your view of women in ministry: Scripture, tradition, culture, or personal experience?
    2. How can you approach biblical topics with both conviction and humility?
    3. What gifts has God given you, and how can you use them faithfully under biblical authority?

  • Breaking the Algorithm
    Jun 16 2026

    We pull back the curtain on the algorithm and expose how it is constantly feeding us. How do we sort through all the voices, ideas, outrage, temptation, and even once-trusted leaders who may have drifted from truth? This episode is a wake-up call to recognize the dangers, test what we allow into our hearts and minds, and break free from the loop before it consumes us.


    QUESTIONS:

    1. What is your algorithm currently feeding you? What does that reveal about your heart, habits, or hidden desires?
    2. Are the voices you trust online aligned with God’s Word and God’s ways, or have they drifted from truth?
    3. Who are the God-given friends, family, or spiritual leaders in your life helping you test what you consume with wisdom and discernment?
