Doing Life Together

We're back! After a choppy start to the year, Pastors Jason and Tiffany Shirley are firing up Doing Life Together with fresh momentum—no long summer breaks, just real talk, laughs, and going deeper into life and faith. In this episode, the crew catches up on spring training baseball (even the boring ones), opening day excitement for the Cardinals, and the hilarious chaos of airport drama—including a cheeky brushtail possum that snuck into a Hobart Airport gift shop in Tasmania and perfectly blended in with the stuffed kangaroos and dingoes. (Yes, we discuss the "dingo ate your baby" tangent too.) ' They open up about getting back on track with the Total Health Challenge (with a big refresh coming for summer momentum), battling headspace struggles, the power of counseling, workouts, and staying consistent so nothing holds you back from what God has for you and your family. Plus, plenty of animal stories, pigeon wars on the patio, invasive garden experiments, and that classic fist-bump struggle. Then Jason takes us into Resurrection Week with raw passion and tears—unpacking the seven statements Jesus made from the cross, the powerful symbolism of redemption (from the curses in the Garden of Eden to the crown of thorns, Gethsemane sweat, Barabbas, the thief on the cross, and "Tetelestai—it is finished"), and why the resurrection means second chances, victory, and living water for all of us. This one's transparent, funny, hopeful, and deeply encouraging. Whether you're tuning in for the laughs, the animal chaos, or the life-changing truth of Easter, we're doing life together—one honest conversation at a time. New episodes drop weekly. Comment your favorite part below (fist bumps encouraged 👊), share if the possum story made you smile, and let us know: more animal stories or keep the balance? Subscribe on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen. We love you, Jazzy included.

Doing Life Together Podcast Season 2 Episode 17

In this delightfully meandering (and longer-than-planned) episode, the hosts kick off with their unofficial 2026 theme: wild animal invasion stories. First up — the dramatic conclusion to the 550-pound bear saga that lived rent-free under Ken’s house in Altadena, California for nearly 40 days. After failed attempts with dog barks, cherry-caramel scents (which only attracted the wrong bear), traps, and air horns, the elite Bear League steps in with a bizarre but brilliant 10-minute eviction: vegetable-oil paintballs and an electrified mat. Victory for Team Ken… until the bear (or a very similar large bear) immediately moves into nearby crawl spaces. Bear epidemic confirmed. Then things get even weirder: a mother kangaroo escapes in Virginia (yes, Virginia), gets spooked by hunting dogs, ditches her joey on the highway, stops traffic, and requires a tranquilizer dart rescue. Cue the public service announcement: kangaroos are not easy pets — and definitely not HOA-approved. Between bear strike teams, poverty pizzas, cheat-day cookies, furniture store misunderstandings, and a very chaotic hotel stay in Santa Fe, the conversation finally lands on the heart of the episode: what faith actually is — and what it isn’t. Drawing from Mark 11, Hebrews 11, Acts 2, and the finished work of Jesus, they unpack why “faith in your faith” creates pressure and condemnation, and how resting in the faith of God — anchored in Christ’s completed work — brings freedom, healing, provision, and peace. No performance required. Just faith that Jesus was enough. Expect laughs, real-life transparency about the Total Health Challenge struggles, a cookie taste-test interruption, and a heartfelt invitation to the upcoming Thrive Health Conference (September 11–13, 2025). If you love real conversations that bounce from bear eviction tactics to deep spiritual truth (sometimes in the same breath), this is the episode for you. Grab a Topo Chico, settle in… and welcome to another classic Doing Life Together adventure. See you in the comments — and let us know: Team Ken or Team Bear? 🐻

🎥 Doing Life Together Podcast: A 550-Pound Bear Under the House, Thrive Health Conference, & Why Prayer Is NOT on the Total Health ChallengeIn this wild (literally) episode, we kick things off with the most insane news story of 2026 so far: Ken Johnson in Altadena, California has been living with a 550-pound black bear hibernating UNDER HIS HOUSE since November! 🐻🏠 We lose it over Ken trying to bark like a tiny chihuahua to scare the bear out, wildlife officials accidentally trapping the WRONG bear with caramel & cherry spray (yes really), and the only reasonable solutions: picnic baskets, honey pots, thirst traps, or just charging the bear rent and calling it a very large tenant.Things get hilariously out of control with Winnie the Pooh references, Baloo’s bare necessities, grass skirts, falling through floors naked in a bathtub (long story), and why we’d rather face a bear than a bird in the house. 😂Then we get real:- Big announcement & full promo for our VERY FIRST Thrive Health Conference happening September 11-13, 2026 – life-changing speakers, worship workout, 5-star healthy food, swag, and total transformation in every area of your life!- Total Health Challenge update (we’re 2+ weeks in – no sugar is brutal after the holidays)- The one churchy phrase we’re getting called out for in 2026… and why we’re keeping it anyway- And a DEEP dive into why “prayer” is NOT one of the 10 items on the Total Health Challenge list… but it’s actually the foundation of the entire thing.We unpack “pray without ceasing,” why God is your partner (not a punisher), how secular studies prove prayer dramatically improves mental & physical health, why “if it be Your will” is sometimes the wrong thing to pray, and how to stop treating prayer like a daily chore and start living in constant, life-giving conversation with Jesus.This episode is equal parts ridiculous laughter and Holy Spirit conviction – basically peak Doing Life Together vibes.Drop a comment: How would YOU get a 550-pound bear out from under your house? 🧸🍯 (And be honest… would you charge him rent?)Subscribe so you don’t miss an episode – we’re just gettin’ started in 2026!

🎙️ NEW EPISODE | Doing Life Together Podcast “30 Years in Guatemala: The Real (Messy, Beautiful) Life of Long-Term Missionaries” with John & Tracy Bachelor We sat down in a Guatemala City hotel room with John & Tracy Bachelor — missionaries here since July 10, 1996 (almost 30 years!). This isn’t a polished highlight reel. It’s raw, funny, tear-jerking truth about: - Raising kids (and now a granddaughter!) on the mission field - Why God keeps us uncomfortable on purpose - The day God told John, “All of this wasn’t about YOU — it was about your kids” - How Guatemala changed them way more than they changed Guatemala - Going deep instead of wide in ministry - Why ministry is messy, smells like sheep, and still smells like hope - Seeing people the way Jesus does… while they still “smell like pigs” - Building trust that opens doors with mayors, engineers, prisoners, and market ladies If you’ve ever wondered what authentic, long-term, fruit-bearing mission life actually looks like after three decades — this is it. John & Tracy are the real deal: fully immersed, fully Guatemalan at heart, and still saying yes to Jesus every single day. ✈️ Filmed on location in Guatemala City ⏰ Officially our longest episode ever — and worth every minute Drop a ✋ or ❤️ if you believe ministry is supposed to be messy!

Join hosts Jason and Tiffany for a hilarious and heartfelt episode of Doing Life Together! This week, they’re joined by Pastor Dillon Newsome, their youth pastor, who shares wild and unforgettable stories from the trenches of youth ministry. From disastrous Kool-Aid games and Thanksgiving-in-a-blender debacles to piñatas stuffed with underwear and a heartbreaking Beats headphone mix-up, the team recounts the chaotic, laugh-out-loud moments that define youth ministry. But it’s not all fun and games—Dillon opens up about his powerful journey to faith, from a dark moment of despair to finding hope in Christ. The conversation dives deep into why youth ministry matters in today’s social media-saturated world, the hunger for truth among Gen Z, and the importance of genuine connection in a culture of filters and façades. Plus, Jason and Tiffany reflect on the Total Health Challenge, exploring how spiritual, mental, and physical wellness tie into living authentically for Jesus. Packed with humor, wisdom, and a whole lot of heart, this episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about faith, community, and the next generation.

Join us for another hilarious and heartfelt episode of the Doing Life Together Podcast! We kick things off confessing our guilty pleasure foods that make everyone gag – from cottage cheese with sunflower seeds and ranch, to nachos drowned in ketchup, hominy straight from the can with crayon (wait, what?!), and yes, canned tamales with ranch-style beans. 😱 We even unbox and jiggle TikTok-famous Filos Walking Tamales (bean salsa roja flavor – shelf-stable for your doomsday bunker until 2027!). These gummy, slimy corn bars had us laughing, gagging, and giving them away – who wants a case? 😂🤢 But it gets real: We dive into the Total Health Challenge – how 7 minutes of silence, focused spousal talks, workouts, and journaling are transforming our marriage. Jason shares a raw story from counseling about resolving small unresolved issues before they fester (unlike those tamales). We explain why pushing through excuses like "I can't sit in silence" is key – it clears the clutter so Holy Spirit can speak! Then, the main event: A deep, passionate discussion on speaking in tongues and baptism in the Holy Spirit. Is it essential for salvation? NO – but it's POWER for living boldly as witnesses (Acts 1:8). We break down biblical foundations from Genesis to Pentecost, Tower of Babel, and how tongues restores heaven's language on earth. Praying in the Spirit builds you up (Jude 1:20), intercedes when you can't (Romans 8:26), and empowers you to love the unlovable – family, friends, even "enemies" in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and beyond. Jasmine shares a fresh story of Holy Spirit prompting her to pray for a stranger, leading to a divine encounter. Tongues isn't weird gibberish; it's the tongues of men and angels (1 Cor. 13:1), yielding your tongue to God's divine nature for maximum impact! Whether you're weird-food curious, health-chasing, or Spirit-hungry, this ep will crack you up and challenge you. Stick around – the funny's up front, but the Jesus talk is life-changing! 🙌 🔥 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/doinglifetogetherpodcast/ Jason: https://www.facebook.com/jgshirley Tiffany: https://www.facebook.com/tshirley3 Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/doinglifetogetherpodcast/ Jason: https://www.instagram.com/jgshirley Tiffany: https://www.instagram.com/tiffanyshirley Follow us on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@doinglifetogetherpodcast Jason: https://tiktok.com/@jasongshirley Tiffany: https://tiktok.com/@tiffanyshirley Subscribe to us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@doinglifetogetherpodcast Check out our church: https://www.wolcarlsbad.com

Welcome to the Doing Life Together podcast, where we’re keeping it real, raw, and relatable! 🎙️ In this episode, we dive into the wild world of Pigeon Fest 2025 in NYC (yes, it’s a thing, and yes, it’s as bizarre as it sounds 🐦). We share our hilarious (and slightly terrified) reactions to this bird-filled celebration, discuss why pigeons are... let’s just say not our vibe, and explore the quirky side of National Pigeon Day. But it’s not all feathers and chaos! We get serious about navigating conflict in today’s divided world, reflecting on the heartbreaking assassination of Charlie Kirk and how it’s stirred up emotions across the board. Drawing from scriptures like James 1, Proverbs 15, Matthew 18, and Psalms 34, we talk about resolving conflict with love, grace, and intentionality—because division is not the way of Jesus. 🙏 Plus, we sprinkle in some fun moments: updates on our Total Health Challenge, and a few laughs about stolen boots, fantasy football wins, and why Crocs are the ultimate weekend vibe. Join us as we navigate life’s highs, lows, and everything in between!
