When Average Boy visits his friend Richie’s very large house, he makes a surprising observation—the Olympics could be hosted here. But before he contacts the Olympic people, Bob has a high-speed scooter chase and learns an unexpected lesson from Richie’s wise (and strong) grandmother: It’s good to slow down and just be. Jesse and Bob talk about busyness, silence, and why rest matters by drawing inspiration from Scripture and Jesus’ example of getting away to pray. Along the way, expect exaggerations, Jesse jokes, inflatable dolphins, and an important challenge for listeners to help them grow closer to God.   Click here to see the new Average Boy book title and cover!   Click here to visit the Average Boy Store to gain access to books, devotionals, subscriptions to Clubhouse Magazine, and much more!   We'd love to hear from you!

Fore! Or is it "Sixteen"? Either way, watch out for flying golf balls. In this episode, Bob (aka Average Boy) takes us to his youth group golf tournament. While Jesse keeps things "on par" with some silly puns, Bob shares how a day at the links—and several trips into the woods—taught him a huge lesson about pride. From catching armadillos to diving into ponds for extra golf balls (28 of them, to be exact!), Bob’s golfing strategy might be a little "below average," but his heart is in the right place. We also tackle a tough question from a listener about how to keep your cool and show self-control when siblings start pushing your buttons.   Click here to see the new Average Boy book title and cover!   Click here to visit the Average Boy Store to gain access to books, devotionals, subscriptions to Clubhouse Magazine, and much more!   We'd love to hear from you!
