The Morning Cruise Replay - Just Do It
3d agoTap to summarizeToday's episode title may seem like were talking sports all day but far from it. That slogan fits with the conversations between Carmen, Bill, Jayar and Abbey. Abbey joined us for the first part of the show and she and Jayar discussed trusting God in the hard, sometimes easier said than done. When Abbey needed a 4th player for Mahjongg last weekend, Jayar dropped what he was doing to play a game he was not familiar with. With the help of YouTube, you can do just about anything. even apprenticeships. Carmen shared from an Instagram post on ambition and balance. As Cory Asbury is getting back to doing Christian music, he inadvertently is finding himself back in controversy over a grammatical error. Science says it's good to do short burts of exercise once an hour throughout your day. And to end the show, Bill thought it would be good for Jayar to give us a sampler of the Friday Afternoon Worship Experience. 00:32 Trusting God in the hard (Part 1) 05:52 Trusting God in the hard (Part 2) 10:08 Abbey and Jayar on Mahjongg 14:52 JOY Drop Shop opens next Wednesday 18:28 Do Anything on YouTube 22:07 YouTube apprenticeships 26:17 Chris Kuti - ambition and balance 31:17 Cory Asbury - OUTSING The Angels 36:02 Short bursts of exercise 40:47 Being active 44:12 Friday Afternoon Worship Experience Sampler 48:12 Wrapping up the week
Transcribe →The Morning Cruise Replay - What's The Deal?
4d agoTap to summarizeWe've got new merch coming your way with a 4th of July JOY Drop. But what's the deal with calling something fire these days? Today is national Burger Day. Jayar can't deal without having jalapenos on his burger. And there are a ton of deals for you to take advantage of today as well. With Jayar things can do off the rails and saying that out loud led to us hearing about someone Jayar knows that has dealt with being hit by a train and accidentally shooting themselves in the foot. What's the deal with Jayar's mom and witnessing to Ray Charles? Jayar shared that story with us this morning. Ben Sasse is dealing with a terminal cancer diagnosis but has some wisdom to share as well. Candice is dealing with her jaw being wired shut as she recovers. She stopped by yesterday and shared an update with us. Carmen knows what's up with a hack to help you share your location quickly. What's the deal with Carmen always playing a CeCe song for the Midweek Praise Break? That's a common refrain she hears from Dave, Bill and Hitch. She managed to not do that yesterday. And today she wanted to have Jayar listen to a song he hadn't heard - Running To A Runaway by Phil Wickham and Lauren Daigle. Jayar needs another therapy session to find out what the deal is with his therapist asking if he wanted to continue with her. What's the deal with the anxious generation? Jonathan Haidt answers that his in his book and shared a video of a 3-year-old fearlessly rock climbing. 00:32 JOY Drop 03:05 Burger Day 06:00 Burger Day Deals 10:19 Hit By A Train 13:38 4th of July JOY Drop 17:55 Jayar's mom and Ray Charles 21:46 Ben Sasse 27:13 Update on Candice 31:30 iPhone Share My Location Hack 35:24 Running To A Runaway 38:35 Reaction to the song 41:08 Jayar and Therapy 45:43 The Anxious Generation 52:17 Bill's BIG Word

Transcribe →The Morning Cruise Replay - Shared Experiences
5d agoTap to summarizeYesterday was Carmen and Pete's 36th wedding anniversary. She shared that this year was a low key affair and that led Bill to ask for some coaching on gifts for his wife for their upcoming anniversary. Jayar then joined the show and they discussed love languages. Jayar also showed off his new watch that he is debating returning to Amazon as he mistakenly purchased a women's Fitbit. Next Wednesday, we will have our second ever JOY Drop. This drop comes just in time for the 250th anniversary of our nation with some patriotic options for you. Carmen's youngest daughter, Abbey, then joined us and shared about the experiences she had for her birthday. A family dinner that included Jayar and a murder mystery dinner with family and friends. For this week's Midweek Praise Break, we shared So Will I by Hillsong United, Christ Be Magnified by Cody Carnes, and Fear Go by Mercy Culture. Jayar then shared from 2 Corinthians 1:9. A conversation they were having off the air about their shared experiences they have with faith and anxiety then made its way to the show. 00:32 Carmen's weekend anniversary 03:21 Coaching Bill 06:33 Love Languages 11:38 Love Languages (Part 2) 15:24 Jayar's new watch 20:18 Texts 23:40 Patriotic Merch coming soon 28:50 joydrop.shop next Wednesday 31:18 Abbey's birthday dinner with family and Jayar 36:43 Abbey's murder mystery dinner 41:57 Midweek Praise Break: So Will I (Hillsong United)/ Christ Be Magnified (Cody Carnes)/ Fear Go (Mercy Culture) 44:31 2 Corinthians 1:9 48:16 JOY Drop 50:45 Anxiety 59:36 Bill's BIG Word
Transcribe →The Morning Cruise Replay - Making It Work
6d agoTap to summarizeFor the holiday weekend, Dave made burgers so the meat didn't go bad while he's out of town the rest of this week. As Haley told us, Carmen made her family play Mahjongg yesterday. And today is Carmen and Pete's 26th wedding anniversary and Haley shared some insight into how they've made it work. Carvana is making it easier to work with dealerships to get a new car and Bill tells us how a set of bionic legs are making less work for a hike. Speaking of making it work, Steve "the mechanic" is a jack-of-all trades and is often put to work doing odd jobs at home, around the station and may one day have to do it at Carmen's home. The works of Leonardo Da Vinci are astounding but he never thought much of himself and his contributions to the world. But that is God working in our weakness. Back in the day, Carmen and Bill had jobs at the mall while Dave spent a lot of time visiting Emilie when they were dating. The mall was the place to be and it is having a bit of a resurgence among Gen Z. But are they returning to church? 00:32 Dave's Burgers 03:14 Haley - Mahjongg Memorial Day 06:53 Haley - Carmen and Pete's anniversary 10:32 Fruits of a long marriage 14:29 Carvana selling new cars 18:57 Bionic legs 21:59 Steve The Mechanic - Jack of all Trades 26:33 Steve The Mechanic - work to be done at Carmen's house 30:07 Leonardo Da Vinci and Contentment 34:44 God working in weakness 39:15 Gen Z returning to malls 43:48 Returning to church? 46:35 Bill's BIG Word
Transcribe →The Morning Cruise Replay - Mystery and Mayhem for Memorial Day Weekend
1w agoTap to summarizeAs we head into the Memorial Day weekend, Carmen and Haley told us about the Murder Mystery Dinner they are doing to celebrate Abbey's birthday. We also got a couple of updates on Candice following her surgery yesterday to fix her broken jaw. We then re-shared a conversation we had with Dave Barnes. It was the second time we've had him on the show and in this case, we had the interview at Brandon Heath's house. As a result, hilarity and mayhem ensued. 00:32 Memorial Day Weekend 03:30 Candice Update 05:47 Haley - Murder Mystery (Part 1) 10:52 Haley - Murder Mystery (Part 2) 14:01 Candice update/ Dave Barnes chat next 17:06 Dave Barnes - an example of obesity in Uganda 21:23 Bill asks about Brother Pastor Phil 23:01 Dave tries to hear from Brother Pastor Phil 23:59 Dadville Podcast 27:45 Dad Fail - daughter left behind 30:16 Impact of Ed Cash (We The Kingdom) 35:51 Ed Cash Concert Story
Transcribe →The Morning Cruise Replay - Slightly Uncomfortable
2w agoTap to summarizeJayar's awkwardness can sometimes make for some uncomfortable situations. As he celebrated a "milestone" birthday yesterday, we were reminded of some of those awkward situations we've found ourselves in with him. Jeff Probst found himself in a slightly uncomfortable position last night during the live portion of the Survivor finale. His gaffe reminded Bill of the gaffe that happened on his first day of working a morning radio show. Candice will certainly be uncomfortable for the forseeable future as she has surgery scheduled today for her jaw. She'll have her jaw wired shut and we can't imagine what that will be like. Carmen shared a word that she read yesterday that will get you uncomfortable about the thoughts you have about yourself and fighting the negative beliefs. On the 3rd anniversary of Tim Keller's passing, Bill shared what was his final message and he gets you out of your comfort zone about the things you are seeking and the reasons for it. That clip was just one of many quotable things from Keller that will get you on the right path with your faith. Our phones can feel like a place of comfort but often it hinders connection in real life. Halo Top Ice Cream and KitKat have a couple of products to help you put the phone down and enjoy the comforts that come with their products. 00:32 Jayar Birthday Memories - Part 1 04:14 Part 2 08:31 Survivor 50 Jeff Probst spoiler 14:14 Bill's first morning radio show 17:10 Candice surgery today 19:39 Cards for Candice 20:45 What you think in your heart 26:55 How to fight negative thoughts 31:43 Tim Keller 35:40 Kellerisms 39:12 Halo Top Ice Cream Silent A La Mode Spoon 45:16 KitKat's Phone Wrapper 48:26 Pray for Candice 52:15 Carmen's PPP - Abbey's 29th birthday 57:22 Bill's BIG Word
Transcribe →The Morning Cruise Replay - On The Receiving End
2w agoTap to summarizeAs Candice prepares for surgery tomorrow, we are on the receiving end of your well wishes and cards and will be sharing them with her. For this week's Midweek Praise Break, you got to hear from Elevation Worship (Praise), Matt Maher (Lord I Need You) and Carrie Underwood "with a special guest" (Great Is Thy Faithfulness). Carmen then followed that up with a message on Psalm 18. Southwest Airlines wasn't very receptive to the idea of a humanoid robot flying on their planes even though one was cleared to do so by the FAA. And graduating students have not been receptive to speakers discussing AI as they enter the workforce. An 18-year-old just received his law degree, making him the youngest law graduate in Louisiana history. Carmen would be excited to receive a Christmas-themed Mahjongg set. Dave got new music from Matt Maher to share with us. And Carmen bribed Dave with lunch to make him more receptive to playing Carrie Underwood's song, "Great Is Thy Faithfulness". 00:32 Candice surgery tomorrow 02:33 Cards For Candice 04:13 Midweek Praise Break - Praise (Elevation Worship)/ Lord I Need You (Matt Maher)/ Great Is Thy Faithfulness (Carrie Underwood and a "special guest") 05:57 Psalm 18 08:19 Southwest bans humanoid robots 11:42 More graduation speeches booed over AI 17:24 texts 21:37 Youngest law grad in Louisiana history 25:05 Christmas Mahjongg Set 29:57 New music from Matt Maher 31:23 reactions to Gonna Be Alright 32:01 Great Is Thy Faithfulness repeat 35:01 Pray for Candice's surgery tomorrow 36:28 Bill's BIG Word
Transcribe →The Morning Cruise Replay - Out Of Place
2w agoTap to summarizeWith Candice in the hospital, things definitely feel out of place around here. Bill and Carmen got the chance to visit with Candice and pray with her in the hospital yesterday. Candice and her husband were supposed to be a part of Abbey's birthday murder mystery celebration. With Candice's hospitalization, that's no longer possible. So Abbey and Haley recruited their parents who feel a little out of place being a part of this murder mystery and having to take on their characters. Bill shared the plight of a pastor being imprisoned in China and the recent efforts to encourage his release. SPAM feels a little out of place at a sporting event...until now. SPAM in the form of hot dogs is headed to stadiums this summer. There is no place for comparison in a life following Jesus. It may sound a little out of place to have actors that are not believers in roles on The Chosen. But it is paying off in dividends. The actor who plays Atticus learned so much about his character and what it means to follow Jesus that he was recently baptized on the set while filming. It reminded Bill of a few other people with a similar story. 00:32 Hospital visit with Candice 04:09 Carmen, the B-lister murder mystery guest 09:42 Carmen's murder mystery character 14:28 Looking for Carmen's murder mystery outfit 16:37 Imprisonment of Pastor in China 22:22 Candice 25:43 SPAM Dogs 30:16 Texts 33:00 Comparison 37:51 Comparison and following Jesus 42:28 Atticus on The Chosen gets baptized 46:16 Josh McDowell, Augustine, etc... 49:48 Bill's BIG Word
Transcribe →The Morning Cruise Replay - Pain and Pleasure
2w agoTap to summarizeThroughout the show today, we shared the news and a couple of updates that Candice is in a lot of pain right now after an e-bike accident over the weekend put her in the hospital with a broken jaw, and broken shoulder. Please pray for her as she prepares for surgery and the recovery road ahead. Bill had a plumbing problem at home that was a pain. He did manage to get out of the house and had some pleasurable moments despite the sweltering heat. But that's nothing compared to the snow that some western states are seeing! Dave's grandsons had the pleasure of attending a monster truck show over the weekend and he got a lot of pictures from their time there. Carmen shared a list of 10 growing cities and Dave followed that up with the cities that are top spots for vacations. Bill shared part of Eric Church's commencement speech at UNC that if you are fan of the guitar you will enjoy his message. Shaquille O'Neal also picked up a Master's degree at LSU and enjoyed taking a little dig at Charles Barkley as he accepted his diploma. Bill has learned to laugh through the hard and painful times in life like the one Candice is going through right now. If you've got an older Kindle device, it may be a pain to work with after Wednesday as Amazon has announced it will no longer be supporting some older devices. Bill is still hesitant to change out his Kindle model because of the button orientation. 00:32 Sharing the news of Candice 04:57 Prayers for Candice 06:58 Heat and Snow 10:00 Kids attend monster truck show 13:09 Top 10 Growing Cities 16:51 Top Vacation Spots 20:55 Candice 26:48 Dave's pastor had a similar accident 28:50 Eric Church commencement speech 32:11 Shaq gets Master's Degree @ LSU 34:51 Candice 39:31 Laugh in the hard 43:00 Older Kindles no longer supported after Wednesday 48:20 Bill hesitant to upgrade 50:53 Bill's BIG Word
