[00:00:17] Speaker B: How is things, man?
[00:00:19] Speaker A: I feel. I feel spoiled because we live in Texas. Not only the greatest state in the entire union, but the fact that it's like the week before Christmas, like literally less than a week before Christmas. And it is 65 degrees out. Exactly one week. Exactly one week.
[00:00:33] Speaker B: Producer, when we record this. Yes.
[00:00:35] Speaker A: And it is 65 degrees out. So we're recording outside.

[00:02:03] Speaker A: Love it. So today is the question of the day.
[00:02:06] Speaker B: Question of the day.
[00:02:08] Speaker A: Stupid. So stupid.
[00:02:11] Speaker B: I think it sounds great.
[00:02:12] Speaker A: In the new year, 2025 is gone, 2026 is here. And the question is, what do you want to leave in 2025 and what do you want to pick up in 2026?
What do you want to leave in 25?
Pick up in 26?
[00:02:25] Speaker B: Bill. Okay, I'll start. I do. So right now, in our current situation, I would love to leave all of my car problems in 2025 if I can.
But I think the bigger thing is I would rather leave how I respond to situations. I still struggle with that. Like, I want to, like, I've always, like, freak out and then, then I'm like, hey, maybe I should pray about it. And so I think that's probably the biggest thing is my response to.
To detours, roadblocks, things like that, and more to be more focused on who God has created me to be, honestly, in the vision of who he's called me to be.
[00:03:01] Speaker A: Love it. Love it. Kyle, what do you got?
So it's the same for both, apparently.
I've been told by people very close to me, translation, my wife and my. And my kids. Oh, okay. Okay. That even though I'm not upset or mad or annoyed, anything, but I come across that way. Oh.
So my focus this year is to gauge my tone.
Gotcha. And come across more positive and understanding. Nice.
[00:03:38] Speaker B: I like that.
[00:03:39] Speaker A: Nice, nice.
[00:03:40] Speaker B: Deep thoughts with Kyle Metcalf.
[00:03:43] Speaker A: I appreciate the fact that you're listening to your family and that they had the guts to share with you kind of that thought. And so that's cool. Great, Great. For me, I think I want to leave behind sorrow.
Okay.
I would say June through December was a really hard season. My wife lost her dad.
There's some other family challenges that have been happening and going on. And so just a lot of things to be sorrow for.
[00:04:10] Speaker B: Sorrowful, sour.
[00:04:11] Speaker A: Sad about. Yeah, sad about.
[00:04:13] Speaker B: Sad about.
Don't leave the diction here. Okay. Take that with you in 26.
[00:04:18] Speaker A: Okay.
Lots of things to be sad about.
[00:04:22] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:04:23] Speaker A: I think what I want to pick up in 2026 is I get a two month sabbatical. I've been doing church planting now for eight years. I got three church plants under my belt. And so I. They've been given me two months sabbatical. And so I'm looking forward to picking up rest and rediscovering maybe what God has in store ahead for me. So that's a big one. That's a big one.
[00:04:48] Speaker B: Goodbye, 25. I'm living. You guys not heard that song?
[00:04:52] Speaker A: No, but keep going. I'm all in.
[00:04:54] Speaker B: But I wonder if, I wonder if our guest Kate Thompson has heard that song.
[00:04:57] Speaker A: Thompson.
[00:04:58] Speaker C: Hey, hey. I've heard that song.
[00:05:00] Speaker B: Yes, you have.
Thank you. Thank you. I mean it really is Goodbye yesterday I'm living in the light of a new day.
[00:05:09] Speaker C: Come on.
[00:05:10] Speaker B: There he goes. He does it way better than me.
Singer.
[00:05:14] Speaker A: He gets paid to sing.
[00:05:15] Speaker B: He gets.
[00:05:15] Speaker A: No, we don't.
[00:05:17] Speaker B: Man, we are so glad to have you back on, man. Thank you for being here.
[00:05:20] Speaker C: Oh, thanks for having me all. What a joy and honor to be back here as we close out 20, 25. Isn't that crazy?
[00:05:27] Speaker A: Yeah, it is ridiculous. It is.
[00:05:29] Speaker B: It went fast. Yeah.
[00:05:30] Speaker A: So question to you, man. Question of the day to you. What do you want to leave behind in 25 and what do you want to pick up in 26? I'm intrigued to hear this because there's been a lot of changes in your life in 25.
[00:05:40] Speaker C: There's been a lot of changes. You know, you guys went very deep right off the gate and I really appreciate it but I'm going to take it a little bit more light hearted. Okay. I'm leaving behind eating all that junk food. Okay. I just got to work on it. You know, I, I'm a married man now and I have really found that I love food. So, you know, I got to watch that to make sure I don't put on that, that first £15 being married.
[00:06:03] Speaker A: It'll come.
[00:06:03] Speaker B: Is that all that you put on?
[00:06:06] Speaker A: I long for the 15. I know that'd be amazing to be back at that, that weight.
[00:06:11] Speaker C: Hey, that's just the start. But I would love to take on being more active just getting up earlier and working out. So there you go.
[00:06:23] Speaker B: Nice, nice. I will, I will tell you, there is this word that we have called fappy. When you get married, it's like a fat, happy kind of thing. And so it's a contentment. I think it's in the.
[00:06:33] Speaker C: Starting to see that.
[00:06:34] Speaker B: Yeah, it's, it's in, it's in the dictionary somewhere.
[00:06:37] Speaker A: Yeah, I think it will be.
[00:06:39] Speaker B: It will be.
[00:06:39] Speaker A: It will be.info non legacy.org Just again, we're looking for a new co host.
We're looking for someone who can sit here with a dictionary and that's ours.
[00:06:49] Speaker B: Exactly.
[00:06:52] Speaker A: And just whisper pronunciations into our ears about words.
[00:06:56] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, dude, we're so glad to have you on and man, we're excited to have you back and so I would love you to share, kind of really catch up our people to kind of who you are, what you do I mean, again, Kate is a singer, songwriter. I mean, loves the Lord. I got to meet him on tour and really spend about a week with you. But it was so great because what I saw was a heart of a man who's got a heart for the Lord. And man went through some crazy stuff this last year. And so share. Share everything you were on about a year and a half ago. We'll put a link right here for you guys to check out that. That podcast, but. And catch everybody up to where you've been in life and all that kind of good stuff.
[00:07:37] Speaker C: Well, it's great to be back. You know, it's super funny. I was. I was reminiscing where I was. I actually remember exactly where I was the last time we were chatting on this podcast. And you asked me the first question out the gate was about, like, cars or something. And I'm not even a car guy, so my favorite car or something was the question. So I remember that. I remember I was on tour, and then, of course, we got to hang out on tour together. But it's been a while. The past year and a half, I have gone through a lot of different things in my life. I'm now a married man. I got married almost.
Come on. Come on, now. Married life is the best life indeed. I feel so grateful as I was on the podcast with y' all last time. A year and a half ago, my now wife and I were in the course of just starting to date and getting to know each other. And it's sweet to look back on where I was at that spot in my life and where I am now. But earlier this year, you know, I. My wife and I ended up going through a little breakup. Seven weeks in the course of us dating, and those were some of the hardest seven weeks of my life, man. I. I was really getting refined in so many ways. That next day after we broke up, I ended up going on tour and having to get on a stage every single night. When you're down in the valley is hard, man. But I was reminded that there's so much power in music and singing my way back to the truth because there's so many moments in life where we know the promises of God, right? But it's hard for us to fully believe it when our circumstances don't look like the promises of God are right in front of us. But I wouldn't trade it for the world because those seven weeks taught me so many things. One that I can't put my hope in any other person other than the Lord. And that those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. It was a season of waiting. Long story short, seven weeks later, we ended up getting back together. And then almost seven weeks after that, we ended up getting engaged. And now we're married. And I've seen God's faithfulness in his hand through all of it, and I hope that that's an encouragement to people that God uses the waiting season and nothing is wasted in that.
[00:09:50] Speaker A: So I. And if you don't want to share, that's fine. I would. I would be fascinated with what that reconciliation process was between you and your now wife.
You don't need to go into why there was a breakup or anything else, but there's always that interesting give and take of repentance and confession and forgiveness and everything else. And so if you feel comfortable, because I think there's a lot of guys that maybe are in that situation or on the cusp of that, and it's terrifying, especially. So what was that like for you?
[00:10:18] Speaker C: Yeah, you know, it's interesting.
I was completely blindsided when obviously, the breakup happened. And her words were that she felt like the Lord was telling her to do that. I'm like, are you. Are you serious?
[00:10:30] Speaker B: This is crazy. You know, Madness.
[00:10:33] Speaker C: No way. No way.
[00:10:35] Speaker A: And yet he was.
[00:10:37] Speaker C: And.
And sure enough, she was right.
And we.
I was on tour a ton, which worked out well because I wasn't at home much, but my wife is on staff at our church, and I also do a lot of stuff at our church. And so we'd bump into each other and we'd have to still do ministry together to some extent every single week with our young adults ministry. And there was one moment where I had fully let go and full. It was about five weeks in. Five, six weeks in. Fully let go. And just was like, God, I. I trust you.
I give her to you. And, you know, you can say one thing, but your heart means another. But it took me a minute for my heart to catch up to what I was actually saying out loud.
And I fully trusted let go. And I was walking by her on the way to a rehearsal for Easter, and she said, good to see you. And I said, likewise. And I kept walking.
And it was that word, likewise that she was like, likewise what?
You know, you can't just say likewise, you know? And I had that moment of fully being dependent on the Lord. Long story short, I went to her, we had a conversation, and we said, what would it look like for us to get back together? We prayed and fasted for a day that was the longest 24 hours of my life, y'. All.
Then we met up and had a conversation and got back together, and the rest is kind of history from there. But it was a very refining season in my life, and I'm so grateful for those seven weeks which led me to now.
[00:12:14] Speaker A: Dude, there's so much I love about this. First and foremost, you have a woman that even if her heart is saying one thing, if the Lord is telling her, hey, you need to break up with him, she's being faithful and obedient to that. Because it sounds like the way you're seeing it is God had to work something in your heart and in your soul that was never going to be done. If she was in the picture, right. If she was there and continuing to be feeding the emotions and kind of a part of that mental process, God was like, I gotta remove you from this just for a season to get you understanding. And then the fact that you guys would pray and fast for 24 hours before getting together. Dude, there's so much I love about this because it's so counter to what our culture embraces and projects about marriage and relationships. Because the hedonism of our culture, particularly your generation, is off the charts. And the delay of like, well, why would I get married? That's an old institution, and that's authoritarian, and it's a part of the patriarchy, and why would I do something like that? Just be better to live and sleep around and everything else.
What have you noticed in your generation, and how have they embraced or taken on kind of this idea of you being married? And has it been inspiring to others or kind of talk through that a little bit?
[00:13:25] Speaker C: Yeah, it's really interesting for me because there's so many things that I've learned because of our story that I had to be broken to truly see where my hope is being placed in. And it brought me to this moment where I was literally the hardest moment of my life. Right.
But I've also learned that the Lord honors obedience. And I saw that. Yes, I saw that in a way that now has my trust in her in a deeper way than ever before. And the same thing goes for how she views me. There's that level of trust that is not just formed overnight. It's because we've gone through things, and that is so, so key for us. But, you know, it is interesting. We're living in a generation where on TikTok, there's all these videos I hear nowadays about people that are saying, you.
[00:14:13] Speaker B: Know, don't get married.
[00:14:14] Speaker C: Blah, blah, blah. And you know what God created for man not to be alone.
[00:14:19] Speaker B: Correct?
[00:14:19] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:14:20] Speaker C: In the Bible.
And marriage is refining, man. It is sanctifying. If you want to look more like Christ, go marry someone who pulls you closer to him. Because it's like looking in the mirror of all these things inside of my heart that I'm like, oh, I didn't know I was like this. I didn't know I was like this. And we get to spur each other on to be more like Jesus every single day. And that really is the goal, you know, if we want to look more like him.
This is. Has been an incredible way to do that in my life, and so I'm really grateful for it, man.
[00:14:51] Speaker B: I love it. You know, it makes me think about the scripture where. Where Jesus, or where God says, I'm a jealous God, and there's this moment in our marriage where we could easily make an idol out of our spouse.
[00:15:02] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:15:03] Speaker B: And I love that he took two people. I know you enough to know that you are pursuant of the heart, you know, of the heart of the Lord. And so is your bride knowing both of them. And this idea where God's like, before I let them lose sight, I'm a refine them because I need to be first. And it seems like from what I'm hearing, he was like, I'm gonna make sure that I'm first before that, and even with. I'm gonna fast for 24 hours. He's like, that's what I was looking for. Like, that's what I wanted. And so now it's like this, like, the true power couple. You see those people online, and they're all fit and everything. The power couple, that's great. But, like, I really see a power couple in YouTube. That's part of why I wanted to get you back on, because I do believe there's a generation, like you said, that is like, listen, this doesn't fill my need, my selfish desire of what I want, when I want it, how I want it. And, man, and. And again, I know that we can get into the debate of Paul's, like, it's better to, you know, it's. It's better to marry than to burn. It's better to stay single. All the kinds of. But I think the idea that you have two people who love the Lord, who want to honor God with their life, with their bodies, with their minds, and he's like, okay, let me just do one more refinement. Now, I'm not saying it's over. Just like, you Said marriage is definitely going to refine you.
You're going to get fappy. No, I'm just kidding. I'm not putting it on you, but don't you put that on me, Ricky Bobby, you know, but this idea of man, now you've got two people that are pursuant of him and honoring him. And so I guess my thought goes to the encouragement of the young couple who's been married a little while and they're already seeing some problems in their marriage. What kind of encouragement would you. I know you're. I know that it's new and you know, you guys are married just a few months, but speak into that because there's a lot of couples that I know walk in and two months later.
[00:16:44] Speaker A: They'Re like, the honeymoon is harder than they thought it was going to be. Yeah. And the differences. Yeah, yeah.
[00:16:50] Speaker B: So speaking of that, a little bit, maybe some, some trials and ways to deal with trials from them and then how you guys have dealt with some conflicts.
[00:16:58] Speaker C: Yeah, man. You know, as you're talking, I'm reminded of this. I think that being raised in the church, we, we tend to put marriage on this pedestal and almost look at, at it through these rose colored glasses. Right.
I wrote a song a few years ago called Dear Future Wife and it was this song. I think I talked about it last time I was on.
[00:17:21] Speaker B: Yes, you did.
[00:17:22] Speaker A: Yes, you did. It was fantastic.
[00:17:24] Speaker C: And it's a song that's ministered to a lot of people. It obviously ministered to me as I was in this waiting season. But what I. Why I'm so grateful for those seven weeks. I was just talking, we were talking to one of our friends the other night at Young Adults, how marriage would look so different for us if we didn't fully find ourselves satisfied only in the Lord first.
And I think when you are fully satisfied in the Lord first, then you're not looking for those other things in your life and then you're leaving disappointed. Right. What does it look like? Fully satisfied in the Lord first. That's what I've found has been so, so key. And so, yeah, obviously there's, there's conflict and there's things that you're always working through. But I think, you know our prayer, we started doing this, we wake up and we put on the armor of God when we go to sleep. We put on the armor of God. Because spiritual warfare is a real thing, right?
[00:18:18] Speaker A: Yes, it is. Yes, it is.
[00:18:21] Speaker C: You know, we were just praying this morning together and I think it's so powerful to pray together and to take that low road. And my encouragement, you know, to anyone who's. Who's newly married and is already hitting those roadblocks is like, take the low road. Like, man, what does it look like to be the first one to ask for forgiveness first?
Say, I'm sorry first. Because, man, that's swallowing your own pride. And it's a lot. It's a lot easier to just like, no, I'm good, but what does it look like to take the low road? It's worth it that way.
[00:18:53] Speaker A: So, yeah, I love what you're saying, and there's a few thoughts. One is, I love that idea. Take the low road. Ask for forgiveness first. Because what that invites actually is I'm ready to have the conversation that needs to be had. And I'm not going to be defensive. I'm not going to be accusatory. I'm coming in saying, I've added to this. I know it. We need to have a conversation. I am sorry for getting us in the situation.
Let's have that hard conversation. I think that's absolutely brilliant. I would encourage and 1000% agree, learn early on in your dating, then again in your marriage, what it looks like to pray with your spouse. Not just for your spouse, not just near your spouse, but to get in the rhythm and routine that you are actively praying with your spouse on a regular basis. It transforms you. Because what it does is I like to think of it as like a triangle, right? Jesus or God is at the top, and then you're kind of at one corner and she's at another corner. There's a big chasm that separates you two because you're two unique individuals. You have unique past histories, families, culture, all that kind of stuff. There's brokenness, there's sin. That's gonna mean both of you. There's misinterpretation. That's gonna naturally happen. And you. You can work real hard to try and cross that chasm just on your own. But if you both focus on growing in your relationship with Christ and drawing near to him, you will naturally get closer and closer. Because that's what happens in the triangle, right?
[00:20:13] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:20:13] Speaker A: And that's exactly what you're talking about, is like, hey, if you're having problems with your marriage, maybe the biggest thing you can do is just say, God, this is a season. I need to draw near to you. And I'm going to trust my spouse to draw near to you. And as we both draw near to you, we will inevitably get closer and more intimate in that relationship. Is that fair?
[00:20:31] Speaker B: Oh, absolutely. Because it makes me think about the idea that pride and selfishness are usually the two reasons why we start to argue, like, no, I don't want to say that. I'm wrong first. And there is something as the leader in the family to set that foundation and go, no, I messed up.
I've never seen a relationship where it's always just one side. Like, there is two sides every story. So there's something we can account for and say, hey, I shouldn't have handled how I responded to you. I shouldn't. Yes, you did wrong, but how I responded to you was not how Jesus would have responded to you. Forgive me. We start breaking down those walls. It's amazing how quick the other side can crumble when. When their heart is for the Lord.
[00:21:10] Speaker A: Correct.
[00:21:10] Speaker B: And so I think there's some value in that. But, yeah, I mean, I love. I love what you're saying about that, of just man getting on your face and praying and seeking the Lord.
[00:21:17] Speaker A: So. So let's go back to that question. That song that you had written, your future wife. And I think there's a lot of people in there, maybe. Maybe they had bought into the culture in their early 20s, and now they're hitting their late 20s, early 30s, and they're like, oh, wait a second.
This marriage thing, my heart is made for someone else. It's not just made to be alone. It's not just made to be selfish. It's made for someone else. What encouragement would you give them in the waiting, but to be actively waiting for them?
[00:21:47] Speaker C: Great question. You know, as you're sharing that, I'm thinking about this reality that if you want to be married, I think you have to live your way in a life that is not so focused on yourself, even while you're single.
And while you're in that season, obviously focusing on yourself to be the best person that you can be for your future spouse. But how will you live your life and set your life up in a way that is intentionally taking your eyes off yourself and serving the people around you? I think that's so, so key as. As we were at our wedding ceremony, our pastor was talking about the verse, seek first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you. Right. What does it look like, while you're still single to seek first the kingdom of God, you know, and to not just be so centered on where you're at, or, oh, I'm still single, or I'm still stuck, like, give your life completely to the Lord and seek him first, because in marriage, that is still what you have to do. You still have to seek him first, probably more than ever before, right?
[00:22:51] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:22:53] Speaker C: Seek each other first. When we were only created, just like that triangle you're talking about. We were only created to seek him first. And then you can fully love your spouse out of that overflow.
[00:23:05] Speaker A: Your wisdom is well beyond your years. I promise you that.
[00:23:08] Speaker B: Yes.
Love what you're sharing, man. I love that. And just the encouragement to that older generation that it's never too late to turn a corner. I think that's one of the things to keep finding.
The way that people respond in this culture is I don't want anyone to prove me that I'm wrong. And so then to have a teachable spirit, to say, maybe I was wrong, to kind of look at it, maybe there is a different way. And there's nothing wrong with saying you were wrong. There's value in acknowledging it and saying, God, direct my steps. From this point on, there is hope for a future that looks different. So I love it, man. I love that. So share some of the stuff that's been going on in your life with music and things like that.
[00:23:47] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm working on a whole new project right now, and I officially. I can't say anything yet, but I officially have release dates for a ton of songs next year there. It's coming out really, really soon, all these songs. So I'm super excited about it, man. I've been in a waiting season of my career. I've gone through a lot of transitions with the. The label and team and staff, and so I'm ready. I'm ready to go, man. I'm excited.
[00:24:12] Speaker B: That's awesome. So during that waiting, have you just. I mean, what have you been doing during that? That waiting? Just been writing and things like that.
[00:24:18] Speaker C: Yeah, Just kind of staring at the ceiling, you know, waiting on Good husband move.
[00:24:23] Speaker A: Good husband move. Go to the garage ceiling. Yep.
[00:24:26] Speaker C: Been working hard, man. I've been on the road playing a ton of shows and getting to see people just encounter the Lord. I played over 120 shows this year. Seeing God move in so many ways on the road, and that's what keeps me going. Knowing that God is still moving, that God is still saving, that God is still delivering and touching people's lives. And that's what keeps me riding, too, because I hear these stories of these songs that are touching people and know that it's such a value to be used for the kingdom of God. And that spurs me on to this Place right here, this writing room where I get to write songs and lead people back to the presence.
[00:25:02] Speaker B: Nice. I got a random question for you. What is on that. That board behind you?
[00:25:07] Speaker C: Good question. I was hoping you'd ask me.
[00:25:09] Speaker B: I love it.
[00:25:11] Speaker C: So at our wedding, it was about a week before, and we're thinking, you know, what is a way that we can just pouring the people that are actually attending our wedding? And so for all of our guests, we had a tag with their name on it at their table, and it's a little prayer tag. And we had people put in their prayer requests, right? The prayer request on this tag, and then they put it up at the head table right by us at the. The dinner. And every single day, my wife Amber and I have been praying for like, three or four of these prayer tags. And we've been blown away by the prayer requests that people have. And I'm not kidding you, people wrote very specific prayer requests. And in weeks, we've already had people give us specific praise reports of how God has moved. And it's touched my heart, man, because how often do we just pray these general prayers when God asks us and he wants us to pray specific prayers because then we get to see specific results. And so I just. The other day on my Instagram, I had this thought. I'm like, look, I got to do this with all a ton of people in our world. What would it look like if I opened it up and said, hey, how do you. How can we pray for you today? What do you need prayer for? And we've been blown away on social media, social media to see a similar response of people just asking for specific things. So.
[00:26:33] Speaker A: So, dude, I'm telling you, wise beyond his years.
[00:26:36] Speaker B: So much, so much.
[00:26:38] Speaker A: And being a pastor, I've had a chance to do a number of weddings. And when I was younger, I was always impressed with the really expensive weddings, with all of the hoopla and all of the decadence and all of the blah, blah, blah, whatever. You know, one day she's a princess and he's a prince, and, you know, but. But, dude, the depth and the spiritual anking Anchorage anchoring. Why can't I speak today?
[00:27:01] Speaker B: It sounded great to me, like, the.
[00:27:04] Speaker A: Fact that you are so, like, dude, I'm just telling you, man. Fantastic. And what a word of encouragement, young guys, because I know there's a whole host of young guys that are listening to this to just say, man, it's worth the wait. It's worth the pursuit of God. Trust him to provide the right person at the right time. And when that person is there, man, invest in them spiritually in ways that you. You can't even imagine. To trust God to do what God is doing. I love it. Absolutely love it.
[00:27:28] Speaker B: Huge, huge. No, man, just the wisdom, the impact. That's good. So, yeah, I'm. I'm excited to hear that, man. Thank you so much for standing in the gap for this generation.

My siblings and I, for Christmas morning, we would always. Christmas Eve, we'd stay in the basement. Then Christmas morning, we would sing Christmas songs to wake up my parents.
And, you know, it's funny, it was really cute when we were all younger because everyone was singing, and towards the end of the years of. Before all of us moved out, it ended up just being me every Christmas morning that was singing the songs, because I was the only one.
So that's my fond memories of, you know, Christmas carols.

May you continue to bless them through healthy communication. Yes, Lord. That they would continue to pursue you. That they would. That the things they're setting up now would be things that they do for 20, 30, 40 years. Yes. That the generations that come after them would call them blessed Father, that they would hold their great grandchildren together.
Lord, I pray that you would use them as a mighty Father, just just a light in a world that is broken and hurting in a generation that feels like marriage isn't a great option. But Father, that it truly would be shown through them that it is. That is what you have called them to Father. May they be fruitful Father. May you use them to impact the world for your glory and we ask it in Jesus name. Amen.
