Are We Still Drinking Milk?

Levvy Podcast — Wed, 02 Sep 2026 09:00:00 GMT

A special crossover episode ahead of Season 2: Leroy sits down with Lindsay to talk through her newly released book, Seven Strands That Block or Build Identity — a "field guide," not a self-help book, built around three movements (being, beholding, becoming) and seven diagnostic strands measuring honesty, dependence, and resilience. The conversation moves from gaps in modern discipleship culture into a vulnerable walkthrough of the "discernment" strand, including Lindsay's own testimony of despair and healing through infertility, and closes on the book's reframing of "apocalypse" as unveiling rather than doom.

Wait, Haven't We Been Here Before?

Levvy Podcast — Wed, 05 Aug 2026 09:00:00 GMT

Haven't we been here before? Yes — and that's exactly how you know God is in it.

Season 1 of Levvy Podcast closes with a question that turns out to be a theological frame: wait, haven't we been here before? The answer is kairos. The appointed moment. Divine timing meeting opportunity and inviting action. In this finale each host names how they're living inside one right now — Ralph returning to a Christian school in a humbled role, delivering an on-camera apology to his ex-wife that stops the episode cold. Lindsay sitting in a depth she knows not to swim up from too fast. Adam recognizing the spiral pattern of his own growth — each time around the mountain arriving more formed than before. And Leroy connecting it all back to episode one — the wicked problem, the disintegrated church, the kairos invitation that this season has been. Haven't we been here before? Yes. But never like this.

00:00 Intro highlights, welcome & episode question

05:33 Defining kairos — the now word, the appointed moment

08:46 Divine timing meets opportunity and invites action

Is Desire Doxology?

Levvy Podcast — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 09:00:00 GMT

After weeks of exploring what desire is, the Levvy hosts bring it home with four questions. When does desire go wrong? How do I deal with disappointment with God? Have I given myself permission to want? And what does it look like to give my desire to the Lord? The answers are as different as the four people in the room. The season that began with a wicked problem ends with a doxology — desire, rightly held, speaks glory.

00:00 Intro highlights, welcome & episode question

00:42 What is doxology — and why desire is doxology

02:20 Round robin format — four questions, ten minutes each

03:40 Question 1: When does desire go wrong?

05:23 How do we know if our desires are in alignment?

07:09 Gluttony, lust, greed — motivation is the key distinction

09:01 Does it harm myself, others, or the environment?

10:23 Desire goes wrong when coming from lack rather than abundance

12:06 Paul — content in abasement and abundance

12:41 Question 2: How do I deal with disappointment with God?

13:32 Deal with it with him — God is not afraid of your ugly

15:17 What if it's a dark night moment?

16:26 The dark night of the soul and what lives on the other side

19:33 Bitterness as the poison of disappointment

21:00 Be the rabbit — hold space and let God do the heavy lifting

22:49 Question 3: Have I given myself permission to want?

24:24 God would rather steer a moving ship than wait for perfect alignment

28:14 Leroy names his acting desire — and the open door

31:00 Even in the trenches knowing what you want still matters

33:13 Question 4: What does it look like to give my desire to the Lord?

37:24 Check desire against values as a plumb line

39:09 For me giving desire to the Lord is about embracing it not letting go

41:22 The closed fist and the open hand — two postures toward desire

43:23 Takeaway and close

Is There Desire After Death?

Levvy Podcast — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 09:00:00 GMT

What if heaven isn't the end of desire — but the beginning of it? In this episode the Levvy hosts take the most speculative and most personal question in the desire arc — is there desire after death — and refuse to answer it safely. Lindsay argues that a heaven without desire is theologically incoherent. Ralph names what passes away and what doesn't — the flesh, not the wanting. Adam wonders whether eternity might actually feature an exponential increase in desire. And Leroy connects it all to a simple and radical claim: desire is eternal.

00:00 Intro highlights, welcome & episode question

02:36 A biblical framework — not proof texts but handles to pull on

04:17 Will we want, dream, and aspire in eternity?

07:53 There is forever to see all our seedling desires realized

08:54 This is an exploratory conversation — we get to dream

11:54 The flesh and the spirit — what passes away and what continues

14:51 The sin nature passes away — but the physical body doesn't

16:07 Eternity as the full realization of all of God's promises

18:04 If desire is good from the beginning it must be eternal

19:12 All that lives forever is love

19:21 What brings God the most glory in the eternal state?

20:17 Getting to the finish line — the glorious day

22:36 You can't remove desire from the equation of bringing him glory

25:48 When we see him we will be like him — and still us

28:51 Why is it important to think about these things?

29:18 A near-death experience and a child seen in eternity

30:48 The desires we have now are part of our eternal desire

33:48 Legacy comes with you — what people will say when you're gone

35:10 Faith and reward — there is something to look forward to

38:10 Abraham owned only a grave — but his legacy shaped generations

41:57 The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want

44:11 Eden as the prototype — work and desire existed in perfection

45:15 Beholding his beauty may actually increase desire exponentially

46:45 Takeaway: desire is eternal and what we do with it now matters

Can Beauty Save The World?

Levvy Podcast — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 09:00:00 GMT

What is beauty, really? In this episode the Levvy hosts take one of the most provocative questions in Western thought and refuse to answer it quickly. The conversation moves through athletic beauty, artistic beauty, the beauty of kindness, the cost of pursuing physical beauty across cultures, Ralph's raw account of growing up Black in an Italian neighborhood and the moment someone finally saw him differently, and Lindsay's naming of the most personal dimension of the whole conversation — the power of being desired. The episode closes where the show began — the wicked problem, the many parts, the one body — and lands on an answer that's both ancient and completely unexpected.

00:00 Intro highlights, welcome & episode question
01:54 Opening definition — beauty as wholeness and entanglement
03:42 Beauty can only truly be seen in comparison and juxtaposition
06:11 Beauty as recognition of something set apart — a reflection of holiness
09:44 The recognition of beauty might be what saves the world
12:34 Where do you most easily recognize beauty?
15:30 Jesus is the beautiful thing — the cross as ultimate beauty
18:14 Crying at a perfect Olympic vault — beauty as involuntary response
19:34 Physical beauty globally and the pursuit at what cost
22:14 We live in a fallen world — instilling values vs. worldly beauty standards
29:26 Isaiah 53 — Jesus came without physical appeal and yet is ultimate beauty
32:05 Growing up Black in an Italian neighborhood — being beheld differently
37:08 All attempts at physical beauty are really about being seen and wanted
41:09 The ethics of beauty — you don't have to demean one thing to raise another
47:06 Full circle to the wicked problem — beauty, wholeness, entanglement and close

How Soon Is Now?

Levvy Podcast — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 09:00:00 GMT

Every desire carries a timestamp. You know what you want. What you don't know is when. In this episode the Levvy hosts sit inside one of the most universally human experiences — the gap between longing and receiving. Lindsay shares for the first time the story of praying for her mother's healing through childhood, watching her die anyway, and the long prodigal journey back to a God she felt had failed her. Leroy shares a twenty-year wait for a person he believed God had promised him — and the stunning, unexpected way it resolved. Ralph names the temptation to get creative when God says wait. And Adam names the question underneath it all: why does waiting matter? The answer the episode arrives at is both simple and costly. What makes waiting bearable isn't answers. It's surrender.

00:00 Intro highlights, welcome & episode question

01:36 Veruca Salt and the desire for it now

03:27 Wanting and waiting — the universal tension

04:50 The practical side of waiting is the hardest side

07:18 What kinds of things do we desire categorically

08:37 God allows the wait to build faith and appreciation

13:05 Why is waiting difficult — and what we learn from Abraham and Sarah

17:42 Praying for a mother's healing that never came

22:45 The long road back to God after walking away

32:25 Does waiting produce maturity?

37:26 Desire is the gravity that gives our souls density

38:19 When God gives a desire we didn't ask for — David's story

41:23 What makes waiting bearable is surrender

45:10 Tamar — taking matters into your own hands when wronged

What Now?

Levvy Podcast — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 09:00:00 GMT

What do you actually want? It sounds simple, but for many followers of Christ it's one of the hardest questions to answer honestly. In this transitional episode the Levvy hosts open a brand new season arc around desire — exploring where it comes from, what it costs, and why knowing your desires isn't selfish, it's foundational. Ralph shares how unchecked desire cost him his marriage, his job, and his health. Lindsay tells the story of a desire so deep it fractured her body before it was finally fulfilled. Adam names the opposite problem — a Christianity so focused on denial that desire itself got buried. And Leroy offers a framework: know thyself, control thyself, deny thyself — in that order. Desire, it turns out, is where integration begins.

00:00 Intro highlights, welcome & episode question

02:32 Desire as the first topic the team ever discussed

03:45 Desire as the foundation underneath all three pillars

04:47 Motivation, belief, and desire — where do they overlap?

08:17 Desire, hope, and the dream that drives you

09:18 Desire as both disintegrator and integrator

11:08 Two sides of the spectrum — overindulgence vs. total denial

12:19 Know thyself, control thyself, deny thyself

15:07 The outside pressures that inform our desires

17:23 It is about you — it's just not all about you

18:02 The heart is deceitful — and the 18-inch journey

19:29 Psalm 37:4 — delight and the desires of your heart

21:17 Delight as the doorway to true desire surfacing

23:36 Corporate and kingdom desire — thy kingdom come

25:15 Alignment — what happens when desire and Christ separate

26:45 Lindsay's story — the desire for children and the long wait

31:33 Three things desire taught us — transformative, costly, discerning

32:30 What do you want now vs. when you first came to Christ?

37:00 Even God's desire cost him his son

Did Rome Really Fall In A Day?

Levvy Podcast — Wed, 24 Jun 2026 16:29:23 GMT

Why do empires fall? And what does the collapse of Rome have to do with what's right now? In this episode the Levvy hosts open the third pillar — cultural disintegration — and the conversation moves from power to pride to the cross, with a sharp pivot into AI that nobody saw coming. With 2.4 billion Christians in the world still at each other's throats, the question is whether we're willing to pick up our cross instead of reaching for power.

00:00 Intro highlights, welcome & episode question

02:33 Rome didn't fall in a day — cultural disintegration unpacked

05:14 Is it complex or is simplicity the root?

06:24 Power named as disintegrator

07:42 The Ring of Power as a lens

09:20 Power is a tool

10:08 Lack of unity vs. uniformity — a critical distinction

14:51 Humility as the key and Jesus as the unifier

16:29 The objection — Christianity itself has been used to wield power

18:18 Satan, Hitler, Napoleon — the idea of being above God

22:07 The cross as the countercultural expression of power

23:58 2.4 billion Christians — so why are we still at war?

28:36 Is transformation happening behind the scenes?

30:26 God's movement among the Roma people and the Middle East

33:16 Why isn't it happening here — barriers in the Western church

34:28 AI introduced as a potential integrator or disintegrator

37:27 Why do we need AI? We have Christ

What's Your Poison?

Levvy Podcast — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 09:00:00 GMT

The relationship didn't fall apart because of them — it's time to ask what you brought to the table!

Every broken relationship has a story, and most of us tell it starting with what the other person did. But what if the real question is: what's your poison? In this episode the Levvy hosts turn the mirror on themselves — exploring the relational disintegrators that live inside us and follow us from relationship to relationship. Ralph traces his divorce back to unhealed wounds from a prior relationship. Leroy names codependency as his own recurring pattern. Lindsay maps the progression from unhealed individual to relational destruction with unflinching clarity. And Adam draws the through line: real relational integration only happens in places where it's safe to be unsafe. The takeaway is personal, vulnerable, and necessary — because what we bring to the table is almost always part of the story.

00:00 Intro highlights, welcome & episode question

01:47 Flipping the script — looking at yourself as the poison

03:16 Making it about self — the core relational disintegrator

04:55 Trust and the self-focus connection

05:52 Divorce, failure, and what God makes beautiful from it

08:39 Inconsiderate — what the root word reveals

09:11 Narcissism — buzzword or finally being named?

12:57 Can you really trust anyone?

14:03 Abiding as the foundation for trust

16:05 Sacrificial love and stepping into unsafe places

20:14 Unhealed wounds from the past poisoning present relationships

26:53 Self-righteousness as a relational disintegrator

29:24 Codependency and looking to others to fill what only God can

32:26 Motivations as the hidden driver of relational disintegration

39:23 Relationships as the crucible

40:53 The fruit of the unhealed individual

45:25 Takeaway and action step

Mentions: Miranda Lambert - Heart Like Mine

Next Step: In the safety of God's love, invite the Holy Spirit to show you what poison you brought to a specific broken relationship. If led, go further: reach out, make amends, or ask someone to show you what you couldn't see yourself.

Who Told You, You Were Naked?

Levvy Podcast — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 09:00:00 GMT

"Who told you you were naked?" is still the most penetrating question any of us will ever face. In this episode the Levvy hosts go deep into the personal disintegrators that fracture the self — shame, fear, sin, blame, and self-abandonment — tracing each one back to its root and asking what it actually costs us to believe the lies we've been told about ourselves. With rare vulnerability Leroy shares a childhood moment that introduced shame into his story, Lindsay names the enemy's primary track in her own life, and Ralph maps the progression from shame to fear to blame with disarming honesty. The takeaway: in the safety of the Father's love, it's finally possible to look at the broken places without being destroyed by them.

00:00 Intro highlights, welcome & episode question
02:06 Shame as the primary individual disintegrator
03:25 The Emperor's New Clothes and the experience of nakedness
05:25 The formation of self comes from multiple sources
08:02 The difference between guilt and shame
09:24 Shame, blame, and the progression after the fall
11:34 The blame game — not me, it wasn't me
13:22 Fear as a fracturing agent — which came first, fear or shame?
16:49 Leroy's childhood story — the moment shame entered in
20:02 Children are especially vulnerable to shame-based fracturing
22:36 Ralph's father, comparisons, and the teacher who changed everything
26:12 Words that create narratives — and sin introduced as a disintegrator
27:41 The opposite of love is fear, not hate
29:13 Sin post-cross and the woman caught in adultery
35:32 God hates sin because of how it hurts us
39:15 Getting to the motivations beneath sin
43:08 Self-abandonment as a disintegrator
45:09 Lindsay names the enemy's primary track in her own life
50:02 Takeaway and action step

Mentions: The Emperor's New Clothes — Hans Christian Andersen story referenced by Leroy as an analogy for self-delusion around nakedness and shame

Next Step: In the safety and security of God's love, ask yourself: where has shame entered in? What is the lie at the root? Pray and ask God to show you what's there — and believe that you are clothed.

Did God Really Say That?

Levvy Podcast — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 09:00:00 GMT

The enemy's oldest trick wasn't a temptation — it was a question, and it's still working today!

In this episode the Levvy hosts trace the root of disintegration in our relationship with God all the way back to Genesis, where a single question from the serpent introduced something devastating: the possibility of doubting what God said. From pride to fear to unbelief, the conversation maps the family tree of what separates us from God — and what it actually looks like to say yes to Him in a world that keeps asking "did he really though?" The takeaway is simple and ancient: get to know Him, because that's where belief grows.

00:00 Intro highlights & welcome

00:42 Episode question introduced: Did God Really Say That?

02:39 Short answer — and why it gets hazy

02:52 Pride as the ultimate disintegrator

03:56 Stubbornness, entitlement, and the moment of the fall

05:02 The question itself is the trap

07:17 First Adam vs. second Adam — what went wrong?

08:08 Not answering the question as formulated

10:00 Unbelief defined — skepticism toward the word and work of God

11:29 Jesus responds from belief, not confusion

12:34 Pride, fear, and unbelief as two sides of the same coin

14:28 Intimacy and revelation — asking questions in relationship

16:23 Obedience, blind faith, and the disagreement

18:27 Adam pushes back — faith is not blind

20:16 What disintegrates us from God post-resurrection?

21:27 Identity, belief, and the modern expression of unbelief

23:37 How do we participate in the reintegration process?

25:41 How do we recognize God's voice?

26:27 Openness, hardness of heart, and the family tree of disintegration

31:07 The word family — unbelief, pride, rebellion vs. belief, humility, childlike

32:40 God's revelation is consistent with his character

Levvy Podcast — Wed, 27 May 2026 09:00:00 GMT

What if the relationships that challenge you most are actually the ones shaping you most?

In this episode the Levvy hosts open the horizontal dimension of relational integration — exploring who's really welcome at the table and what it costs us to keep people out.

Who's Coming for Dinner?

Levvy Podcast — Wed, 20 May 2026 09:00:00 GMT

Who's actually welcome at your table — and who have you been quietly keeping out?

In this episode, the Levvy hosts explore what relational integration really looks like in the horizontal plane of everyday life, from the friction of personality differences to the people we'd rather not invite in. Grounded in the radical, line-redrawing hospitality of Jesus, this conversation is an honest, warm, and sometimes convicting look at why we need each other — even the difficult other — to become who we were made to be.

00:00 Intro highlights & welcome

01:26 Part two of relational integration introduced

02:09 Whoever says yes is welcome at the table

03:18 Jesus's radically open table posture & the great banquet

04:20 The full spectrum of relationships

15:28 Jesus and the Samaritan woman

17:01 What dimensions of relationship shape our integration?

19:12 Conflict, Matthew 18, and our relational defaults

22:03 The purpose and function of relationships

23:25 The Trinitarian nature of relationship

26:12 Symbiosis, the body, and why we need each other 29:51 Jesus didn't erase the lines — he redrew them

31:07 Jesus as a scandalous figure

32:08 Sports, unifying goals, and why we can't do it for Christ

34:05 The goal: the marriage of heaven and earth

35:49 Takeaway and action step

Mentioned in this Episode:

The Chosen — An independently produced, crowdfunded dramatic series that portrays the life of Jesus of Nazareth through the eyes of those who knew him, depicting the disciples and other biblical figures as fully human, culturally grounded characters encountering him for the first time. Matthew 18 — Lindsay's reference to the explicit biblical process for handling conflict within the body

Next Step: Lean into the relationships God is highlighting to you right now, especially the ones that are part of your integration process, and consider literally inviting someone to your table for dinner this week or next.

Will You Marry Me?

Levvy Podcast — Wed, 13 May 2026 09:00:00 GMT

What if the greatest love story ever told isn't just a metaphor — it's a proposal with your name on it?

In this episode, the Levvy hosts explore what it means to integrate with God through the lens of one of Scripture's most intimate and provocative images: the bridegroom and the bride. From Ralph's transformation out of a life of chaos, to Lindsay's long road through suffering toward trust, to Adam's discovery of a God who isn't afraid of pain — this conversation is a tender, honest look at what it actually feels like to be pursued by a love you didn't earn and can't lose.
