The 9:47 Podcast
Welcome to The 9:47 Podcast, where married life, ministry, business, parenting, homeschool, family chaos, movies, food, faith, and everything in between all collide. No polished scripts. No perfect schedule. Just real life, real busy, real love.
Ep. 9 “Monster Hearts, Marriage & My Wife’s Minivan”
Bethany is back, and apparently, she has a problem with ChatGPT!
This week on The 9:47 Podcast, we’re catching up on another busy week of family, faith, and everything in between.
Bethany shares her Connecticut adventures, including a hike up Sleeping Giant, a visit to Holy Land USA, and Wes making friends with complete strangers. Meanwhile, Micah talks about his men’s retreat, his new truck, and his adventures in the kitchen.
Things get interesting when we tackle a question about marriage and faith: Does the Bible actually require husbands and wives to pray...
Ep. 8 “Holy Aura and a Dirty Dr Pepper” (with special guest Moses)
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, al...
Ep. 7 “Werewolves, Fire Trucks, and Yoga Pants”
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. Sp...
Ep. 6 “Six Raviolis & a Sexy Penguin”
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 pla...
Ep. 5 “Sex, Horcruxes & Healthy Boundaries”
Episode 5 gets a little bit of everything.
We talk about date night adventures, teaching our kids about money, bringing a reluctant teenager to the gym, Bethany’s rapidly growing $15 social media empire, and what’s happening with the business.
Then things get a little deeper as we talk about friendship, boundaries, and whether choosing not to maintain a relationship is actually unchristian.
And somehow that conversation eventually leads us to churchgoing couples, sex, and Micah explaining his theory that promiscuity is basically the spiritual equivalent of making Horcruxes. Yes, really.
Plus: My G...
Ep. 4 “ Teen Drivers, Modesty, and a $5,000 Check”
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, occasi...
Ep 3 “We Don’t Have Any Dead Bodies in Our Basement”
This week on 9:47, we talk homeschool chaos, teenage dating and saying “I love you” too soon, the strange pull of social media numbers, business stress, and a record-short sermon. Plus, an ancient warrior turns up in a junkyard, we debate food, movies, books, and music, and somehow end up discussing whether there are bodies buried in our basement.
Ep. 2 “Bulldozing, Bears, and Beverly Hills Chihuahua”
In episode 2 of the 947 Podcast, Micah and Bethany catch up on home life, homeschooling, business stress, church ministry, and their recent pastors’ retreat. They talk about feeling out of place around other pastors, worship styles, raising kids with a wide age gap, and the strange reality of living in a parsonage.
The conversation also turns to 9/11, Charlie Kirk, cultural division, the role of the church in difficult times, and Micah’s idea for a future sermon series on Satan’s role throughout Scripture.
And, because this is 947, things eventually spiral into bears, crying while listening to Bri...
Ep. 1 “So… What Are We Calling This?”
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...
