Bethany is out of town, so Micah brings in a substitute cohost: his son Moses. Is he a suitable replacement, or would everyone have been better off without an episode?

This week, Moses shares stories from his first concert, getting yelled at by security, and being the unofficial mayor of Market Basket. The two discuss why Moses hates wrestling but refuses to quit, the difference between natural talent and hard work, and why apparently everyone thinks they can beat up a Marine.

In Four on 9:47, they dive into Braveheart, Zombieland, Ender’s Game, and Unbroken, along with anime, stand-up comedy, and the emotional devastation of Cyberpunk. Plus, Moses explains the beauty of a perfectly balanced Taco Bell burrito, Micah defends Weird Al, and they discover just how different their musical tastes really are.

It’s an episode full of questionable food reviews, movie discussions, father-son banter, and a few surprisingly meaningful conversations about growing up, perseverance, and figuring out life.

And yes, Moses manages to end the episode with a burp.

This week on Life at 9:47, things get a little wild!

Wes takes his monster-hunting responsibilities seriously, tackling a werewolf at a homeschool picnic, defending his honor at co-op, and apparently considering a future in bank robbery. We also discover that apple picking has become an expensive carnival experience, but thankfully, cider donuts make everything better.

Micah talks about working alongside his brother, the challenges of preaching funerals, and Shane Gillis’s controversial joke about gym attire. Meanwhile, Bethany brings us a criminal mastermind who stole a fire truck while his own house was burning down. Spoiler: His getaway plan wasn’t particularly well thought out.

In our entertainment segment, we’re talking World War Z, Inglourious Basterds, Red Rising, and the challenges of raising Christian kids who enjoy more than VeggieTales. Plus, we review our expensive date night at The Library Restaurant in Portsmouth, complete with fancy bathrooms, delicious food, and a bill delivered inside a Jack Reacher novel.

We wrap things up with listener comments, questionable podcast titles, and our usual plea for five-star reviews.

It’s another week of marriage, parenting, homeschooling, church, small business ownership, and whatever else life throws our way.

Thanks for joining us at 9:47!

This week on The 9:47 Podcast, we’re both tired, socially exhausted, and somehow that leads to one of our more ridiculous conversations.

We talk about life with teenagers who now have jobs, cars, and schedules of their own, a family trip to Keene where fun is mandatory until you move out, and Bethany’s women’s retreat involving axe throwing, knives, archery, and flying cast-iron skillets.

We also catch up on church life, forgiveness and healthy boundaries, what we’re reading and watching, and another date-night restaurant review. That date night leaves Micah staring sadly at a plate of six raviolis before making an even worse decision: telling his wife she bowls like a penguin.

A sexy penguin, apparently. That clarification did not help.

Plus, listener comments, social media updates, and the usual rabbit trails.

In Episode 4 of The 9:47 Podcast, Micah and Bethany talk about the joys and chaos of parenting older kids. Their son gets his driver’s license, one daughter starts going to the gym, and a job-interview outfit sparks a larger conversation about modesty, individuality, and knowing how to dress for the occasion.

They also share updates from home, church, social media, and the family business before discussing the proposed $5,000 “Trump dividend,” government spending, bad healthcare experiences, disappointing movie sequels, Red Rising, lost books, local restaurants, birthday parties, and the ongoing debate over who talks more.

Unedited, occasionally interrupted, and recorded well before 9:47.

Bethany and Micah are giving podcasting another shot, but first they have to figure out what to call it.

In the first episode of The 9:47 Podcast, we introduce the idea behind the show and catch up on a typically busy week of marriage, parenting, homeschooling, ministry, and running a business. We talk about reorganizing the house, raising four kids, an engagement dinner, church life, payroll stress, movies, music, food, and why somehow the most important conversations always seem to happen around 9:47 at night.

No scripts and very little editing. Just a married couple catching up on life once the day finally slows down.

Real life. Real busy. Real love.
