Bible Belt Bros Christian Comedy Podcast

Do You Know the Romans Road?

You don’t need a memorized speech or a perfect setup to share the gospel—you just need God’s Word.
In this episode of The Bible Belt Bros Podcast, Dusty and Andrew walk through the Romans Road, a simple collection of Scriptures from the book of Romans that clearly explains sin, salvation, and grace. The guys talk about why these verses have stood the test of time, how memorizing them builds confidence, and why Scripture itself does the heavy lifting when it comes to sharing your faith.
They discuss:
Why the Romans Road is still relevant today
How memorizing Scripture prepares you for real-life conversations
The difference between sharing truth and trying to “win” someone
Why simple obedience matters more than perfect delivery
Whether you’re new to the faith or grew up hearing the Romans Road, this episode is a reminder that God often uses the simplest tools to make the biggest impact.

Marriage Expectations vs Reality with Gatlin and Maeryn

Dusty and Andrew sit down with dating couple Maeryn Coonce and Gatlin Gunn for an honest, hilarious conversation about relationships, marriage, and faith.
In this episode, we dive into the gap between marriage expectations and reality—from Bible studies together to figuring out who does the cooking and cleaning. Andrew shares what surprised him most about married life (spoiler: it's not what you think), while the hosts discuss how living together 24/7 changes everything.
Maeryn opens up about her podcast "The Reason" on Spotify and how God called her to start it. She and Gatlin share their journey of staying pure while dating, their dreams of traveling and going on mission to Africa, and how their completely different upbringings have shaped their view of marriage.
The conversation covers everything from the importance of marrying your best friend to finding hobbies you enjoy together (even if that's watching your partner play Minecraft while you crochet). Plus, plenty of hilarious tangents including Gatlin making a fishing line out of yarn and a hot dog, and why he still needs his dad's permission to download apps.

Dusty Tries to Kill Emma! Probably Because He Just Learned that Summer Interns Get Paid!

In this episode of The Bible Belt Bros Podcast, Emma joins Andrew and Dusty to share all about her summer internship at a church in Virginia. She opens up about her calling into children’s ministry—while somehow ending up in a youth ministry internship instead. The trio dives into what it was like for her to experience a much larger church, the lessons she learned, and how it shaped her faith and future.
Meanwhile, Dusty has his own revelation: interns actually get paid now. This leads to a nostalgic detour about his glory days working at a video store—before Emma was even born. Classic Dusty humor (and awkward timing) strikes again when one of his stories nearly causes Emma to choke on her coffee mid-laugh.
It’s an episode packed with laughs, generational gaps, and a few heartfelt moments about calling, ministry, and growing up in faith—Bible Belt Bros style.

Andrew Has FOMO But Is That Bad?

In this episode of The Bible Belt Bros Podcast, Andrew confesses to having a little spiritual FOMO after watching his church team jet off to Peru for a mission trip. Should he have gone too? Dusty jumps in with some throwback stories from his youth pastor days, revealing how they’d sometimes strategically use FOMO to get teens to show up—with their Bibles, their friends, and maybe even some actual excitement for church.
The guys unpack how FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) can sometimes be a good thing—especially when it pushes us toward better spiritual habits like prayer, reading Scripture, or getting plugged into community.
It’s a lighthearted, honest, and slightly sarcastic look at what it means to feel “left out” in faith—and how maybe, just maybe, God can use that feeling to pull us closer to Him.

Get Some Rest... But Don’t Be Lazy

In this episode, Andrew and Dusty talk about rest — not the “hit snooze for the fourth time” kind, but the kind Jesus actually modeled. Turns out, even the Savior of the world took naps in boats, hung out on mountains, and somehow didn’t feel bad about it.
Meanwhile, Dusty admits he’s mastered the art of “holy rest,” which suspiciously looks like watching RedZone Football all Sunday Afternoon.
The guys debate whether mountain vacations or beach vacations are the superior way to recharge — but agree that both count as long as you’re not calling a Netflix marathon “quiet time.”
So kick back, relax, and remember: get some rest… but maybe also mow your lawn at some point.
 

Andrew’s a Jerk (But at Least He’s Honest)

In this episode, Andrew and Dusty dive into the fine art of filtering yourself — or in Andrew’s case, not filtering at all. Dusty calls it “being a jerk,” but Andrew prefers “being real.” Same thing, different branding.
While Andrew’s out here saying what everyone’s thinking (and maybe shouldn’t), Dusty admits he’d rather send the joke privately — you know, just to the few people who won’t get offended and start a prayer chain about it.
Together they unpack why Christians sometimes hold back, how we accidentally hurt each other by pretending we’ve got it all together, and why being honest might just be the most loving thing we can do… even if it makes the group chat awkward.

Airport Chaos Turns Into an Evangelism Opportunity

Dusty’s trip home turns into a Texas-size detour: multiple cancellations at DFW, a checked bag in limbo, and a last-minute plan to rideshare four hours to Tulsa with a total stranger in cowboy boots named Alfredo. Between airport chaos, hold music, and a lifted pickup with a mini-fridge in the back, Dusty realizes the wildest twist isn’t logistical—it’s spiritual. A guest challenge at church was fresh on his mind: share your story with someone this week. Dusty had the perfect open road, but somewhere between Fort Worth and Tulsa his new friend fell asleep, the small talk ran out, and the “Jesus conversation” never happened.
So Dusty phones a friend—Rusty—for a second opinion. They unpack what went right (a soft heart, a crazy providential story, Alfredo’s number) and what stalled out (waiting for the “perfect” moment, letting fatigue and logistics win). Rusty offers practical, even playful ways to break the ice—from simple invitations to cheesy but effective conversation starters—and pushes Dusty to follow up with a text and an invite to church. Andrew, meanwhile, provides color commentary, crisis-management digs, and a reminder that most of us miss opportunities because we don’t plan for them.
If you’ve ever wanted to share your faith but froze, this is your road-trip confessional: equal parts comedy of errors, practical evangelism coaching, and a nudge to try again. The story isn’t finished—and that’s the point.

Is it the responsibility of pastors to speak on political issues, or does that risk confusing personal opinion with biblical truth?

Charlie Kirk’s name has been in the headlines for politics, but in this episode of the Bible Belt Bros Podcast, Dusty and Andrew focus on something different—his faith. From his bold stance on the resurrection to his insistence that Jesus was at the center of every debate, Kirk’s impact went far beyond partisan lines. The guys talk through how his journey from setting up tents on college campuses to filling arenas reflected both his influence and his ability to bring conversations back to the gospel.
That discussion leads into a bigger question: should pastors bring politics into the pulpit? Dusty and Andrew weigh the arguments around 501(c)(3) status, the tension between personal opinions and biblical truth, and whether preaching values is the same thing as preaching politics. Along the way, they admit their own disagreements, share stories from their church backgrounds, and ask what Sunday mornings are really meant for—worship or political persuasion.
This episode isn’t about rehashing headlines. It’s about wrestling with faith, influence, and the responsibility of spiritual leaders in a divided culture.

The Episode about Forrest Frank and Miracles

The latest episode of the Bible Belt Bros Podcast starts off in typical fashion with hosts Andrew and Dusty playfully bickering about espresso machines and coffee preferences, but it quickly evolves into something much more substantial. What begins as a lighthearted discussion about modern music trends transforms into a profound exploration of faith, miracles, and the complicated questions that arise when God seems to answer some prayers but not others.
Dusty kicks things off with an observation about how our culture has developed an incredibly short attention span, particularly through TikTok and social media. He points out how major news stories can dominate headlines for a day or two before completely disappearing when the next viral trend emerges. This cultural shift, he argues, has fundamentally changed not just how we consume information, but how artists create music. Enter Forrest Frank, a Christian artist who has seemingly cracked the code on reaching today's generation with his faith-based content.
The hosts dive deep into Forrest Frank's musical strategy, and it's fascinating to hear them break it down. Nearly all of his songs clock in under three minutes, which might seem insignificant until you realize this is entirely intentional. Songs like "Your Ways Better" and "God's Got My Back" are specifically crafted with repetitive, catchy choruses that work perfectly for TikTok dances and viral content. Dusty explains how these aren't traditional storytelling songs like you might find in country music or classic rock – they're engineered for an audience that has maybe 30 seconds to capture before scrolling to the next video. It's actually pretty genius when you think about it, even if it represents a massive shift from how music used to be created.
The conversation takes a dramatic turn when they start discussing Forrest Frank's recent skateboarding accident and subsequent recovery. The details are pretty harrowing – while skateboarding, he hit the corner of a sidewalk with tremendous force, resulting in what appeared to be a severe back fracture. The hosts describe seeing the actual footage of the accident, the X-rays showing the break, and heartbreaking videos of Forrest Frank in excruciating pain, needing help just to get into bed. This wasn't a minor injury that could be easily dismissed; this was serious, documented medical trauma.
But here's where the story gets incredible. Exactly fourteen days after the accident, Forrest Frank woke up and began his normal morning routine. Without thinking about his injury, he picked up his child before suddenly realizing he had forgotten to put on his back brace. The shocking discovery? He felt absolutely no pain. He could twist, turn, lift, and move completely normally. When he went back for follow-up X-rays, they came back completely clear – as if the break had never happened.
Andrew, who has a healthcare background, provides a really thoughtful medical analysis of what happened. He explains why this recovery is so remarkable from a scientific standpoint. Typically, when bones heal, you see calcium deposits on X-rays, and the process takes much longer, especially for someone who isn't a professional athlete. The combination of the incredibly fast timeline, complete pain relief, and clear X-rays without any signs of the previous fracture pushes this into what he calls miracle territory. While he acknowledges that rapid healing can theoretically happen naturally, he estimates the odds at about one in a billion.
What makes this episode particularly compelling is how the hosts use Forrest Frank's story as a launching point for a broader discussion about miracles and faith. They identify three different types of miracles found in the Bible: faith-based healing, where God responds to someone's active faith; sovereign choice miracles, where God acts regardless of the person's faith or requests; and what they call circumstantial miracles, where God intervenes to protect or further His purposes. Forrest Frank's healing seems to fit into this third category – not because he had extraordinary faith or was actively seeking a miracle, but potentially because God had bigger plans for his ministry that a long recovery would have derailed.
The conversation gets really honest when they address the elephant in the room – the jealousy and frustration that some Christians feel when they see others receive miracles while they continue to wait for their own. They talk about Chance, a member of their church who has been in a wheelchair for years despite countless prayers and mission trips. The hosts don't shy away from how difficult and unfair this can feel, but they also share how Chance has chosen to embrace his circumstances rather than become bitter, even participating in church skits with humor and grace.
This leads to perhaps the most profound part of the episode, where they tackle the mystery of why God performs some miracles and not others. They reference Paul's "thorn in the flesh" that God chose not to remove, and Timothy's stomach problems that Paul simply told him to treat with wine (basically, take some medicine). The uncomfortable truth they present is that even with perfect faith, if healing isn't in God's plan, it may not happen. But they also emphasize that God can use people powerfully in their circumstances, whether healed or not.
What I appreciate about Andrew and Dusty's approach is their honesty about not having all the answers. They admit that the mystery of miracles is frustrating, especially in a culture that demands explanations for everything. They compare it to people who obsess over understanding every detail of the book of Revelation, arguing that sometimes the point isn't to have all the answers figured out, but to focus on being ready and faithful regardless of what we don't understand.
The hosts wrap up by acknowledging that Forrest Frank's story will likely follow the typical TikTok cycle – hugely popular for a brief moment before being replaced by the next viral topic. But they suggest that maybe there's something deeper here worth considering, beyond just the viral moment. Whether you classify Forrest Frank's recovery as a miracle, an incredibly unlikely natural healing, or something in between, it raises important questions about faith, expectation, and how we respond when our prayers seem to go unanswered.
Throughout the episode, Andrew and Dusty maintain their characteristic conversational style, admitting their own limitations and biases while exploring these complex topics. They're not trying to provide definitive answers or tell people what to believe – they're simply thinking out loud about a remarkable story and what it might mean for people of faith navigating similar questions in their own lives.

Dusty is the Therapist as Andrew Vents about Church Plans vs God's Plans

In this episode, Dusty becomes Andrew’s therapist as he vents about basically everything.
The guys jump into a conversation that picks up from the last episode—this time digging into the idea of a whole church doing the same Bible study together. Andrew has... thoughts. Like, a lot of them. And Dusty? He mostly listens, throws in a few jokes, and keeps the mic from catching on fire.
They talk about how their church is doing a 40-day reading plan through Matthew and Romans. The idea is that everyone’s on the same page—literally. If someone in accounting is reading the same thing as someone on the worship team, it makes spiritual conversations easier and less weird. You can be like, “Hey, what’d you learn today?” and it doesn’t feel awkward.
But Andrew’s not totally sold. He’s got concerns about whether these group studies are Spirit-led or just pastor-led. He wonders if we’re really following God—or just doing what the church tells us. He brings up fasting, church schedules, leadership styles, and even his own issues with submitting to authority. It’s honest. It’s a little messy. It’s definitely real.
Dusty pushes back a bit, reminding Andrew that submitting to leadership isn’t always bad. Sometimes you just do it. Even if you don’t feel it. Even if it feels like a fad. Because growth can still happen. And also... it’s just 40 days.
They also talk about how church people are all at different spiritual levels. So one plan might feel too basic for some and too deep for others. But Dusty points out—it’s only 10 minutes a day. You can still go deeper on your own, and it might even open up chances for discipleship.
By the end, Andrew admits it’s not really a leadership problem. It’s more of a “me” problem. He’s still doing the study, even though he doesn’t love it. And Dusty, well, he basically wins therapy today.
If you've ever struggled with church plans, leadership, or just doing something you don’t feel like doing, this episode is for you. Also, if you're a tier 3 Christian subscriber... Andrew sees you.
