What do you get when you mix a Disney roller coaster, a lost stuffed animal, and a very determined dad? That’s right - Richard’s got a story for the ages.

It all started with a family trip to Disney (circa 25 years ago) when Richard’s youngest son’s beloved Stitch (yes, that Stitch from Lilo & Stitch) vanished mid-adventure. The panic! The Disney worker consultations! The heartbreaking realization that Stitch was gone forever!

In this episode, we’ll unpack:
- How a stuffed animal drama turned into a life lesson
- What Psalm 51 and Ezekiel 33 say about God’s power to restore what we thought was lost
- And why sometimes, the thing you lost comes back even better than before

Whether you’ve ever lost your favorite toy (or just your cool), this story will have you laughing, reflecting, and maybe even shedding a nostalgic tear.

So buckle up, listeners - because this sermon on the side is for you!

Thank you for being part of the journey with us!

It started with a cup of ketchup at Five Guys in Poughkeepsie, New York (Yes, really.) A quick moment, a quiet comment from a kid, and suddenly we’re talking about something way bigger: the voices in our heads that tell us we’re not good enough, not strong enough, not whatever enough.

In this episode of Sermons on the Side, we follow that trail all the way to Gideon — a man hiding out in a winepress who gets called “mighty warrior” by God. What do you do when your life doesn’t match what God says about you? What if the loudest thing in your life is a lie?

“Limiting Voices” is all about learning how to quiet the noise, tune in to God’s truth, and finally start believing the name He’s been calling you all along.

Because sometimes, the Sermon you need isn’t from a pulpit — it’s from the ketchup station.

High school hoops. One bet. Twenty bucks on the line. What started as a simple challenge between friends turned into a life lesson about pressure, expectations, and what happens when things start to crack. In this episode, we talk about how life’s pressure moments reveal what’s underneath - and why having a plan for those moments matters more than we think. Whether you're at the FT line or just trying to hold life together, this one's for you.
