Rhoni shares a powerful moment from her morning “First 15”—a reminder that focused, intentional time with God can be more meaningful than hours of distracted routine.From there, they highlight fun springtime events around Austin, Fredericksburg, and the Hill Country—perfect ideas for your next date night or family outing.

This week on The Weekend Joyride, Mac and Rhoni talk about Scripture-shaped vision and what it means to build a life on God’s Word.

A vision board becomes more than goals and pictures when it’s rooted in God’s promises. In this episode, they talk about how that kind of vision can shape health, family, calling, legacy, and even fun.

Then the conversation turns to music with Pat Barrett’s Build My Life, a song that fits the theme of building on a firm foundation.

Later, Mac visits with Pastor Ray Keasler of Abundant Heart Church in Granite Shoals, Texas, about the joys and challenges of pastoring a church, writing songs straight from Scripture, and using AI as a creative tool in the process.

A hopeful episode about vision, foundation, and living on purpose.

In this episode of The Weekend Joyride, Mac and Rhoni talk about something many people wrestle with: purpose.

What does purpose really look like in everyday life? Is it something big and dramatic, or something quieter that shows up in the things you naturally love to do?

They share how discovering your natural bent can point you toward the work and calling that fits you best.

Then the conversation turns to music. Rhoni has been exploring some new artists and trying to find Christian music with the same soulful vibe as artists like Teddy Swims. That leads to a fun discussion about Terrian, Madison Ryann Ward, and other artists bringing depth and emotion to faith-based music.

Finally, Mac and Rhoni talk about the uncertain feeling many people have about the world right now — rising gas prices, global tensions, and why more people are paying attention to gold and silver as hard assets during uncertain times.

Through it all, the message is simple:

Stay steady. Stay grounded. And keep listening for the path God is guiding you toward.

The episode closes with a prayer for peace, wisdom for leaders, and protection for those serving around the world.

Ever feel like you’re trying to hear God… but your mind is too loud?

In this episode of The Weekend Joyride, Mac and Rhoni keep it simple and real — an around-the-table conversation about an honest heart, the difference between pressure and peace, and taking one next “honest step.”

Then we lean into worship with Chris Tomlin, and we wrap with a practical challenge you can try this week: a few minutes of quiet to help your heart settle and your next step get clearer. And a look at what's to come with Juno Skye.

What if Valentine’s Day wasn’t about being chosen — but about remembering you already were?

In this episode of The Weekend Joyride, Mac and Rhoni slow things down for Valentine’s weekend and take a deeper look at love — not as pressure, performance, or expectation, but as something steady and eternal.

Through a reflective reading of Psalm 139 and a moving exploration of The Creation by James Weldon Johnson, they unpack what it means to be fully known and fully loved by God. This thoughtful conversation centers on identity, intentional creation, and the safety of being seen completely.

A grounding reminder that before anyone ever chose you — God did.

Sometimes the biggest spiritual upgrade isn’t a new plan — it’s a deep breath.

In this episode of The Weekend Joyride on Joy512, Rhoni and Mac talk about what happens when you slow down enough to let your soul catch up. A few days of intentional rest reminded us that clarity comes back, gratitude returns, and healing has room to work when the noise quiets down.

We also dig into the role music plays in a true reset — how the right songs can settle your mind, soften your heart, and re-aim your focus when life feels loud.

And yes, we touch on travel too — not as a trip report, but as a real-life reminder that you can’t control every delay or detour… but you can choose the tone you carry through it.

They explore the responsibilities of both creators and backers, the importance of transparency, and why the best work is done because it matters — not just because it’s profitable.

A thoughtful, grounded episode about living well, choosing wisely, and building things that last.
