Hey! It's The Luskos
Hey! It's The Luskos

<p>Sit down with pastors and authors Levi and Jennie Lusko for an unfiltered look at the madness of the Lusko’s life, marriage, ministry, faith, grief, and growth that goes on behind the scenes. (It may or may not include: product reviews, coffee recommendations, Disney hacks and all the things that make life wonderful)</p> <p></p> <p>Hosted by Pastors of Fresh Life Church, and authors of best selling book Through The Eyes of a Lion, I Declare War, Swipe Right and The Fight to Flourish.</p>

Abbie and Gabriel Gamboa join Levi and Jennie for a hilariously honest, deeply encouraging conversation about marriage, calling, and the messy middle between “God said” and “okay… now what?” From conspiracy-theory dabbling to the sacred art of naming what’s real (in dating, in ministry, in life), this episode is full of both belly laughs and quiet conviction. You’ll hear how their friendship turned into a seven-year marriage, the wild backstory of getting pulled into music as kids, and the gritty season where they were juggling jobs, babies, and payday loans—until they finally took the leap into full-time ministry and music. Plus: a movie-level travel nightmare involving visas, a Colombian passport, and the terrifying possibility of being homeless and stinky in Paris. Connect with us on social!

Jimmy Darts joins Levi + Jennie for a wild, hope-filled conversation about the behind-the-scenes heart of the viral kindness videos that have moved millions. From asking strangers for tiny favors to watching generosity “snowball” into life-changing provision, Jimmy shares how God gave him the strategy—and why he’s obsessed with keeping the spotlight on everyday people who say yes. Along the way, this episode goes deeper than you might expect: healing miracles, a Billy Graham YouTube moment that changed everything, a simple way to sort suffering and God’s goodness, and why compassion (not polish) is often the catalyst for God’s power. If you’ve ever wanted to live a more “activated” faith—this one will put gasoline on the fire. Connect with us on social!

This week, we’re so excited to share something really special: a message Levi gave at one of our Fresh Life pop-up worship nights in Kalispell. It’s a word that’s meant a lot to us, and we wanted to bring it here because it speaks so honestly to the tension so many of us feel—how to walk with God through both triumph and sadness. In this episode, Levi talks about what it looks like to worship God in every season, whether you’re holding joy, grief, gratitude, disappointment, or some mix of all of it. It’s a meaningful, Scripture-filled reminder that we don’t have to be crushed by hard seasons or defined by great ones—we can bring it all to God and find Him faithful in every part of the journey.

Preston Sprinkle joins Levi and Jennie for a candid, hilarious, and deeply thoughtful conversation around his newest book, From Genesis to Junia: An Honest Search for What the Bible Really Says About Women in Leadership. Preston shares what sent him on a years-long, thousand-hour deep dive through Scripture, scholarship, and church history without rushing to “pick a side.” Along the way, the crew gets real about how these conversations actually land in local churches: the tension, the backlash, the nuance, and the very human emotions involved. From Jesus’ surprising elevation of women, to the “problem passages” like 1 Timothy 2 and Romans 16, this episode is an invitation to slow down, stay humble, and let the Bible speak louder than the algorithms.

Tim Tebow is back—and this time he’s bringing full-on dad energy. Tim shares the surreal (and hilarious) realities of becoming a father to Daphne Raine, from driving home like a hyper-cautious grandpa to realizing how instantly responsibility rewires your whole brain. Along the way, Levi and Jennie soak up Tim’s reflections on what fatherhood has already taught him about God’s voice in chaos, and how love turns into action. Then the conversation turns tender and powerful as Tim opens up about his new book If the Tree Could Speak—a poetic, perspective-shifting retelling of the gospel through the life of the tree that became the cross. From Easter tenderness to the brutal honesty of Calvary, this episode is a reminder that the cross changes everything—and that our calling is to live like we actually believe it.

Pastor Ed Newton joins Levi and Jennie for a conversation that’s equal parts hilarious, holy, and deeply healing. From mutual half-Filipino spouses (and the great “Tagalog” debate) to the way Ed grew up as the primary interpreter for his deaf parents, this episode is packed with stories that will make you laugh—and then suddenly swallow a lump in your throat. Ed opens up about the hidden “not enough” loop that can follow even the most fruitful ministry, the moment (December 26, 2023) he didn’t want to live anymore, and how God met him in the rebuild through counseling and recovery. Along the way, you’ll hear the powerful origin story behind his book Why Not You? Believing What God Believes About You—and why your worst “kryptonite” might just become the very place God writes your greatest strength. Connect with us on social!

Levi and Jennie are back with a LIVE hot-takes edition—reacting to spicy “unpopular opinions” from the Lusketeers and letting the conversation do what it does best: swerve into laughter, rabbit trails, and the occasional “wait… is this actually deep?” moment. From fish (unless it’s sushi) to airplane toe etiquette, from bowling germs to Disney adults, the banter stays playful—but it also turns thoughtful when the topic shifts to parenting, phones, and the tension between conviction and Christian liberty. Expect strong opinions, zero chill, and at least one memorable chemistry lesson: iron oxide. Connect with us on social!

Jacob Coyne—founder of Stay Here—joins Levi and Jennie for an honest, hope-filled conversation about suicide prevention, mental health, and what it looks like to love people like Jesus when they’re hurting. This episode goes deep, but it’s also packed with practical help and real stories of lives being saved. You’ll hear how Stay Here equips churches, schools, and students to recognize warning signs, start the conversation, and take action—plus why purpose, community, and courage matter more than we think.

Alex and Henry Seeley (The Belonging Co) are back for a wide-open catch-up that somehow hits everything—from family life and church growth in Tennessee to new music, new campuses, and what it’s like building a multi-location church with video preaching. Then the conversation turns holy (and hilarious) as Alex shares about her upcoming book The Divine Counselor—a fresh, needed look at Holy Spirit as a Person, not just a symbol. And Henry tells the unforgettable story of a midnight drive that became a defining encounter… complete with “walking” Holy Spirit into their home. Connect with us on social!

Kait and JJ Tomlin (the couple behind Heart of Dating) join Levi and Jennie for a hilarious, super-helpful conversation about what dating looks like right now—and why so many women feel frustrated while so many men feel shut down. From “80% isn’t enough” expectations to the weird ways dating apps have turned people into filters and checkboxes, they get real about what’s happening in the church and what actually helps. Along the way, they unpack what to look for beneath the surface (hello, teachability + humility), why “trajectory” matters more than perfection, and how to think about attraction with more wisdom than a swipe. Plus, you’ll hear their own unexpected meet-cute—from a Zoom “blind date bachelor” moment to long-distance FaceTimes and a relationship built on character (wolf sweater and all).

Grayson and Jezlyn Bearden join Levi and Jennie for a conversation that starts with real-life parenting hilarity (minivan life, sleep training, and surviving “three under three”) and quickly turns into something deeply powerful: what it looks like to walk through addiction, betrayal, and restoration—together. With honesty and hope, the Beardens share their redemption story, the difference between rushing back to a platform vs. getting truly healthy, and the practical road of recovery (community, accountability, and walking in the light). If you’ve ever felt like your story is too messy to be meaningful, this episode is a reminder that God does some of His best work right in the middle of it. Connect with us on social!

Jonathan Pokluda sits down with Levi and Jennie for a conversation that’s equal parts laugh-out-loud and deeply grounding. JP unpacks his 16-day hospital saga—how it started with a leg not working right, turned into a diagnosis of transverse myelitis, and somehow included an unforgettable “marriage moment” that belongs in the Hall of Fame. From spiritual warfare to being aware without being afraid, and what JP learned while researching Your Story Has a Villain—including the country club moment in Aspen that made everything feel painfully real. Plus: Halloween, discernment, and even the surprisingly practical question of how to use AI as a tool without letting it use you—followed by a closing story about a cold plunge that… never actually happened.

The Lusko kids join Levi and Jennie for a cozy, hilarious, end-of-2025 family episode—full of memories, real talk, and the kind of side comments only siblings can pull off. Together they look back on the year’s big moments: college life, tennis wins, learner’s permits, a meaningful baptism, and the wild joy of serving together. You’ll hear the behind-the-scenes of the Bolivia mission trip (including travel chaos and a few very memorable mishaps), plus a rapid-fire stroll through favorite podcast episodes, sermon series that hit home, and the books/music that shaped the year.

Martin shares how a random suggestion from his dad led him from cricket dreams to a secondhand guitar, a Holy Spirit encounter at nineteen, and early worship songs like “Lord, You Have My Heart” and “I Could Sing of Your Love Forever.” They trace the unlikely British wave of worship that swept the world, how Delirious? broke all the “rules,” and why Martin still believes deeply in the local church as the home that saves, shapes, and steadies creatives.  From the near-fatal car accident that pushed him to go “all in” with Cutting Edge/Delirious? to nine-minute spontaneous tracks and leaving holy space in worship, Martin talks about the power of music to heal, deliver, and reorient our hearts. He and Levi explore prophetic songwriting, how some lyrics arrive far beyond our understanding, why streaming stats feel like everyone’s paycheck on display, and how to help a new generation make pure, cutting-edge worship in a numbers-obsessed world. The conversation also gets wonderfully practical and tender—why “the devil hates flags,” what it means to raise a banner and recover undignified praise, how Martin chose to walk away from arenas for the sake of his kids, and the decade he spent in the shadows asking, “Am I done?” Now a grandpa called “Pops,” Martin reflects on legacy, singing “Our God Reigns” with new weight, and learning to embrace each season—whether it’s feeding 20,000 or 4,000—as part of God’s good story.  Connect with us on social!Martin: @martinsmithtvLevi: @leviluskoJennie: @jennieluskoFresh Life Church: @freshlife [Links]Check out more from Martin Smith: https://bit.ly/3M3KJPl Get the 5 Gallon Bucket: https://bit.ly/sdl4sHY Get the Lusketeer Sticker: https://bit.ly/sdl4sHY  Subscribe for more exclusive content: https://levilusko.com/hitl-subscribe  Time Stamps01:16 – From teach-yourself guitar to “Lord, You Have My Heart”11:35 – A midnight crash, Cutting Edge, and saying yes to God20:21 – “Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble” and breaking the worship rulebook29:12 – Was creation sung into being?

Best-selling author and pastor Max Lucado joins Levi and Jennie to talk taming your thoughts, grandparent joy, and the kind of hope that actually holds. Max shares the wild family headline—three daughters pregnant at once—and how becoming “Papa Max” has reshaped his rhythms and perspective. They dive into Max’s new book, Tame Your Thoughts: Three Tools to Renew Your Mind and Transform Your Life, walking through “picky thinking,” spotting the “UFOs” (untruth → false narrative → overreaction), and the practice of uprooting lies and replanting truth. The conversation gets practical on media intake, the real brain/relationship fallout of porn, and Max’s storyteller toolkit—from dog tales to Amelia Earhart—and why the message must always lead the illustration. They wrap with a glimpse of Max’s “The Only One” series on the uniqueness of Christ and a quick nod to tattoos (yes, really).

Licensed counselor and author Debra Fileta joins Levi and Jennie for a live Q&A on building emotionally healthy homes—whether you’re single, married, or knee-deep in carpools. We kick off with Debra’s new picture book for littles, “Any Day Emotions,” and how naming feelings (even the tricky ones like guilt and jealousy) helps kids learn what to do with them. We also talk about Levi’s new tween book, “Don’t Worry, Warrior,” and why story-driven teaching sticks with 8–12-year-olds.  From there, it’s a fast-paced, heartfelt session tackling real questions: consistent toddler discipline without losing connection, encouragement for single parents finding community, wisdom for blending families with grace and boundaries, and practical ways siblings can repair ruptures with real apologies. We close by reframing “peace at home”—less candlelit calm, more everyday wholeness in Christ amid the beautiful chaos.  Connect with us on social!Debra: @debrafileta Levi: @leviluskoJennie: @jennieluskoFresh Life Church: @freshlife [Links]Any Day Emotions by Debra Fileta: https://bit.ly/4paOT6xDon’t Worry, Warrior By Levi Lusko: https://bit.ly/498LNLsGet the 5 Gallon Bucket: https://bit.ly/sdl4sHYGet the Lusketeer Sticker: https://bit.ly/sdl4sHY Give a year-end gift to send Native youth to Movement Conference!Your generous year-end gift below will remove every barrier so students from the reservations can experience Movement Conference, where they’ll encounter the love and freedom of Jesus.Give Your Gift: https://levilusko.com/ye-donate?&utm_campaign=LLM1225&utm_medium=website&utm_source=podcast&utm_content=pod Subscribe for more exclusive content: https://levilusko.com/hitl-subscribe Time stamps14:06 – What to discuss with your spouse when planning/trying for kids19:13 – How to discipline a toddler consistently while staying connected26:10 – Single mom navigating distance from family and absent father31:06 – “Biblical” approach to blending a newly blended family49:34 – Keeping a peaceful home with hormonal preteens and little ones54:57 – Rhythms to recharge marriage with a 6-month-old at home
World-renowned adventurer, author, and TV host Bear Grylls joins Levi and Jennie Lusko for an unforgettable conversation about courage, faith, and what really matters most. From Man vs. Wild to his newest book The Greatest Story Ever Told, Bear opens up about the challenges of fame, the power of vulnerability, and how the wild continues to point him back to God. Together, they talk about grief, resilience, and the sacred beauty of connection — from Bear’s adventures with world leaders to the quiet strength he’s found through family and faith.

From privacy and boundaries to joyful chaos with kids, they talk honestly about the unseen sacrifices that make visible ministry possible. You’ll hear the story of their relationship (from hesitant boyfriend to wholehearted husband), the reality of Summer Worship Nights—miracles, momentum, and whooping cough—and the everyday stuff: mice in the garage, sprinter van shenanigans, and why a five-gallon bucket is elite family gear.

Singer-songwriter Josiah Queen joins Levi and Jennie for a warm, joy-filled conversation about his faith, marriage, and music. From writing “I Am Barabbas” to exploring national parks with his wife, Trinity, Josiah opens up about how worship, creativity, and everyday life all weave together into his walk with God. They swap stories about summer tours, cold plunges, and close encounters with buffalo in Yellowstone — plus why Josiah believes his best songs come straight from scripture stored in his heart.

In this moving and deeply personal episode, Levi and Jennie sit down with Shawn and Jill Johnson to talk about their new book Kiss the Fire—a message born straight out of pain, perseverance, and the unwavering hope they’ve found in Jesus.
