Not Just On Sunday is a belief my wife and I have when it comes to being a follower of Jesus. It is a daily walk, not one morning a week. Think of a marriage. Could you imagine if you only saw your wife a few hours for one day a week? And then said, “Okay, see you again same time next week”. It would be a short-lived relationship. So why would I treat my relationship with the Creator that way? It is every day, all day, all the time, not just on Sundays. As a new believer and fired up. I thought we were called to be ambassadors for Christ. How can I represent Jesus here on earth? I don’t feel called to be a pastor and give a message from a pulpit. But I’ve been told I have the gift of gab. So, why not create a podcast the best way I know how. Talking.

It all started with a shipping container. I sold my wife (Chelsea) on this idea, that we could turn this container into a ruggedized deer hunting cabin. If it worked, we could sell these on the side and make some extra money. So, with her support, we got a container and the project took off. In all our spare time, we started building this out. And it was looking good.

We bought and started this at the beginning of 2020. Who could have foreseen the future events that were about to unfold? By the summer of that year, the cost of building materials went through the roof. Due to financial concerns within our family, I quit working on this project and just left it. After a few months, I started to house my tractor inside this thing so it wouldn’t be in the elements. It stayed this way for about a year. So here I have this, halfway framed in container with quite a few dollars invested in this just sitting here doing nothing. Frankly, the guilt I felt was heavy because of the money put in, and letting my wife down, giving up on this idea that seemed so great.

If you are a follower of Jesus, here is where things get interesting. Apparently, in 2020, I was seeking the Lord, without knowing I was seeking the Lord. Say that ten times fast. Certain people started coming in my life pointing me in the direction of faith. At the same time, I started to become interested in listening to scripture. I was hearing the Bible and it started to make sense. Then in 2021, I asked God into my heart, and that following October I was baptized in the Etowah River. I’m all in, on the good news of Jesus.

So, classically, at the end of ‘21, I had this thought in the middle of the night, “ I’m going to host a Christian podcast, and I have just the place to do it. That shipping container “ I’m going to convert that steel box into a podcast studio.

I told Chelsea, “ I have an idea.” Before I could even say my next sentence, she interrupted me and said, “you are going to build a podcast, and talk about Christ”

I was overjoyed at that moment, but she turned to me and said, “If you are going to take another run at this, you can’t quit this time.” That hit me hard, but I had her support. With my newfound faith and the support of my family, I pulled that tractor out and started building a studio. I know nothing about the internet or social media. But I put my trust and faith in the lord, and low and behold (Not Just on Sunday) was born.

On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue.
