Coffee and the Cross: Love, Life & Money
Coffee and the Cross is a podcast for everyday Christian men who are trying to live out their faith in the real world—marriage, work, money, leadership, and the quiet pressures no one talks about.
This isn’t a show for pastors, theologians, or men who have it all figured out. It’s a down-to-earth, Jesus-centered conversation for blue-collar, salt-of-the-earth men who love God but still wrestle with fear, exhaustion, responsibility, and doubt.
Each episode feels like sitting down over coffee and talking honestly about:
- faith when you’re tired but still showing up
- money anxiety and the pressure to provide
- marriage in the middle miles
- leadership without control
- prayer when you don’t feel spiritual
- trusting Jesus in everyday life
If you’re looking for real talk, biblical truth without hype, and faith that actually works Monday through Saturday, you’re in the right place.
Coffee and the Cross exists to help men bring the gospel into real life—without shame, without pretending, and without shallow answers.
Pull up a chair. Grab a cup of coffee. Let’s walk this out together.

This series is just a recap of what is in the workbook. If you have not already gone through the series, I encourage you to take a small group of men through it... it will change your life.
Steve is married to his High School sweetheart Becky and they have four amazing kids and 4 equally amazing grand-kids.
Steve's prayer is to encourage men in their everyday lives, give them hope and direction to be Godly men, better husbands and better fathers.
I remember hearing the devotional every morning on the radio before school. But… If we heard Robert Cook saying, "Walk with the king today and be a blessing." we knew it was time to run, not walk out the door to catch the bus
