Episode 805: "Mind Your Own Biz" with Trip Lee

Southside Tribe!! In this episode, Ameen, KB and our bro Trip Lee are back in action! We dive into the chaos of our cultural obsession with everyone else’s business. From scrolling through scandals to forming opinions about people we’ve never met, we’ve turned voyeurism into a daily hobby. But the Bible calls believers to something radically different — to “mind your own affairs” and live quietly before God (1 Thessalonians 4). With God's help, we unpack what that looks like in an age where privacy is constantly being eroded, exploring how gossip, outrage, and online influences numb our spiritual lives. With humor, conviction, and real talk (as always), the squad reminds us how true faithfulness is often quiet — not clickworthy — and that minding your own business might be one of the most countercultural acts of worship today. Let's go!

Southside Tribe!! In this raw and real conversation, Ameen and KB wrestle with a tough question: does violence have a place in the kingdom of God? From neighborhood fights to the Crusades, from the civil rights movement to the theological tensions between self-defense, justice, and the way of Jesus, this episode goes deep. KB also reminds us in various ways how we cannot have the Kingdom reality without the Kingdom mentality. The spirit of the Kingdom means being willing to suffer from violence before inflicting it. With humor, honesty, and biblical insight, we explore what it means to live wisely — not weakly — in a world that often glorifies social influence through power and force. Y'all ready for this one?!

Southside Tribe!! In this follow-up to the "Little Fox of Success" episode, KB helps tackle a truth that’s very easy to overlook — sometimes, success can be more dangerous than failure. From Saul’s downfall to Nebuchadnezzar’s pride to Israel's stubbornness, they explore how power and achievement can quietly erode faith and dependence on God, even for folks not in the limelight. We also draw parallels to today’s culture — from Kanye West’s rise and turmoil to the temptations that come with visibility and online influence, even in Christian ministry. The conversation gets extra real when KB opens up about a moment after one of his biggest shows — when the crowd was chanting his name, while heaven’s voice felt faint; an experience which led him to take time off to re-center his heart and remember his first love. With their signature honesty and humor, KB and Ameen remind us that winning isn’t wrong — but winning without humility is a recipe for disaster. Come rock with us!

Southside Tribe, what is up!!? In this episode, KB and Ameen unpack the “little foxes” in our lives— those small, sneaky compromises that can quietly destroy faith, relationships, and even church communities. What starts as something minor can end up eroding the roots of what God is growing in us. From Jesus flipping tables in the temple to the modern temptation of chasing clout in the name of Christ, the crew challenges listeners to ask hard questions about motives, habits, and the "small" things we let slide. It’s an honest, convicting, and occasionally humorous conversation about guarding our hearts, staying rooted in community, and asking Jesus to do the work only He can do.

Southside Tribe! We are back and Season 8 is in full effect! In this timely episode, KB and Ameen dive deep into the unfortunately recurring theme of manipulation, deceit and abuse within social structures, particularly churches and Christian organizations. Starting with the Garden of Eden, they discuss how humankind's first interaction with manipulation was with the serpent. From there, they discuss a revealing study on highly competent, good-natured individuals stuck in abusive relationships due to their own virtues. The conversation extends to how manipulation and deceit appear in leadership roles, the vulnerability of well-intentioned people, and practical advice on when and how to run from toxic environments. They call for honesty, accountability, and the importance of good community, emphasizing the calling of God's people to never be complicit in abuse.

Southside Tribe!! In this episode, we explore the biblical perspective on vengeance and the dangers of taking matters into our own hands. In light of the recent murder of the UnitedHealthcare CEO and the school shooting in Madison, Wisconsin, we ask the question: What does the Bible say about vengeance, and how can we guard our own hearts from crossing that line? Often, it’s corruption and injustice that ignite the spark of vengeance in our hearts, but the line between a healthy desire for justice and the pull toward personal retribution is thinner than we may realize. Join us as we challenge ourselves to trust God’s sovereignty, reflect on the spiritual discipline of leaving justice in God’s hands, even in the face of deep pain and wrongdoing.

Southside Tribe! In this intriguing convo, we touch on wisdom, sin, and staying anchored in faith, pointing out that knowledge and wisdom alone aren’t enough to overcome our flaws—it takes God’s power to truly transform us. We examine how worldly cares, although not inherently sinful, can pull us away from what really matters, and obscure our ultimate priority, which is our faith in Jesus. We also share about the importance of fellowship, accountability, and staying rooted in spiritual disciplines, remembering that spiritual maturity means rejoicing in God’s work across all communities and platforms.

Southside Tribe! In this episode, joined by our good friend Pastor Ebenezer of the Shaping The Culture Podcast, we talk about the freedom that comes from acknowledging our brokenness and the messy realities of life, both as believers and as leaders. In a culture that often demands perfection, vulnerability can feel like a risk too big to take. But true ministry and growth happens in the trenches of life, where we can be fully known and fully loved—a reality far greater than merely being impressive. We discuss leaning on Jesus for our righteousness, and building authentic community, by stepping away from the facade of perfection, and creating safe spaces that allow God’s strength to shine through our weakness and create deeper, more meaningful connections with others. Join us for a powerful conversation about the risks and rewards of vulnerability in faith and leadership. Full episode on all audio platforms, video and bonus content on our Patreon community!!

Southside Tribe! In this fascinating episode, we dive into the recent congressional hearings, Pentagon and FBI press releases about UAPs and UFOs, exploring what these developments could mean for people of faith. As we consider the vastness of the universe and the possibility of intelligent life beyond Earth, we’re reminded of the biblical account of creation—set within the context of galaxies and cosmic grandeur. Instead of shaking our faith, such discoveries should expand our awe of God’s power and the magnitude of all He has created. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on how faith in Jesus stands firm, even in the face of the unknown, and why a bigger universe points us to an even greater Creator. Beam on up!

Southside Tribe! In this episode, we briefly touch on the intense zeal and fervor that gripped many during the 2024 presidential election, reflecting on how strong feelings often outweigh facts in shaping our perspectives. We then shift to the spiritual realm, discussing the burst of passion often experienced by new followers of Jesus. While this enthusiasm can be beautiful, it can also drift into legalism or become overwhelming if unchecked. Like a fire, zeal must be contained to avoid destruction and channeled with wisdom, maturity, and knowledge for true growth. Join us as we unpack the nuanced balance between passion and wisdom, offering practical insights and stories on maintaining a healthy, enduring faith. Come thru!!
