Nathan is back behind the microphone, solo again, as he re-records Week 2 of Why Are Christians Weird? Don’t worry, Greg will be back in October! In this episode, Nathan tackles a question Christians have probably heard more than once: Can’t Christians just shut up about Jesus?

Looking at the Great Commission, Paul’s example in Athens, and the call to have gracious, wise speech, Nathan explores the difference between boldness and obnoxiousness, evangelism and harassment, and conviction and arrogance. Christians are called to speak about Jesus, but we’re also called to love the people we’re speaking to.

So how do we faithfully proclaim the gospel without becoming the kind of Christians everyone wants to avoid? Maybe the goal isn’t to win every argument, but to love people enough to tell them about Jesus well.

This week, the boys continue their October books series. Greg dives into the world of John Steinbeck, focusing on East of Eden and its timeless exploration of good, evil, family, and the power of human choice. Meanwhile, Nathan turns to the life of John Adams through his biography, exploring the man behind the American Revolution and the principles, convictions, and struggles that shaped a founding father. From the moral complexities of Steinbeck’s characters to the political and personal challenges of Adams, Greg and Nathan discuss what great books can teach us about human nature, faith, and the choices that define our lives.

Nathan wraps up the four-week These Go To 11 series “Why Are Christians So Weird?”, still flying solo.

After spending the series talking about being different, sharing Jesus, and how Christians treat one another, Nathan asks a different question: What does it actually look like to simply follow Jesus faithfully?

Drawing from Matthew 5–7, Micah 6:8, Galatians 5, 1 Thessalonians 4, and Colossians 3, Nathan explores the beauty of ordinary faithfulness—loving your family, serving your neighbors, keeping your word, forgiving others, admitting when you're wrong, and following Jesus when nobody is watching.

Maybe Christianity isn't about trying to look weird or impressive. Maybe it's about becoming more like Jesus, and faithfully living that out one ordinary day at a time.
