Mike Shaw and Pastor Jonathan Yates continue their conversation about radical love for our neighbors, exploring what can distract us from God’s call and why churches must intentionally welcome people who are often overlooked.
From the parable of the great banquet to the story of Mephibosheth, they challenge Christians to move beyond comfortable circles, make room for the marginalized, and love people who may have nothing to offer in return—all while mixing in the usual humor, sports banter, and real-life tangents.

What does it really mean to love your neighbor—and are we actually living it out? In Episode 4 of The Righteous Brothers Podcast, Mike Shaw and Pastor Jonathan Yates dig into the story of the Good Samaritan and the challenge of moving beyond simply knowing Scripture to putting it into practice. They talk about motives, forgiveness versus trust, serving others, breaking out of our comfortable “holy huddles,” and what radical love looks like in everyday life. Along the way, there’s plenty of the usual Righteous Brothers banter, questionable math, church life, and a look ahead at Family Church’s one-year anniversary. It’s a conversation about taking what happens on Sunday and carrying it into the rest of the week.

Mike Shaw and Pastor Jonathan Yates continue Family Church’s This Is Us series with the final installment of “Scripture Is Our Authority.” They talk about the importance of having both mentors and people we mentor, teaching children how to know and study Scripture, and how the Bible teaches us what is right, what is wrong, how to get right, and how to stay right.
The conversation also explores why Christian community can’t be fully replaced by an online experience, the role of worship and relationships in the church, and how Scripture provides a steady foundation in a constantly changing culture. Plus, Mike and Jonathan share some laughs, highlight the worship ministry of Nick and Ashley Sanders, preview the next series on radical love for our neighbors, and look at several upcoming Family Church events.

In this episode of The Righteous Brothers Podcast, hosts Mike Shaw and Pastor Jonathan Yates of Family Church explore part two of their "Scripture is Our Authority" series. Drawing from Luke 4, they examine Jesus's temptation in the wilderness and emphasize how memorizing God's word serves as the ultimate defense against temptation and out-of-context deception. The episode also details the biblical reasoning from Acts 2 behind observing the Lord's Supper on a nearly weekly basis to spiritually realign, and concludes with a look ahead at Family Church's upcoming one-year anniversary celebration.

Welcome to episode one of The Righteous Brothers Podcast — where we turn Sunday's truth into everyday righteousness.
Mike Shaw sits down with his pastor, Jonathan Yates of Family Church in Van Alstyne, Texas, to unpack the launch of the "This Is Us" sermon series and its first core value: “Scripture is our Authority”. They walk through Luke 24 and the road to Emmaus, talk about how two followers of Jesus could know parts of their Bible and still miss the whole point, and why good teaching matters more than ever in an age of social media influencers quoting verses out of context.
Also in this episode: the surprising story behind the show's name, a stereogram illustration that explains how Scripture clicks into focus, a look inside what sermon prep actually feels like, two listener questions (why do bad things happen to good people, and who did Adam and Eve's kids marry?), and an honest answer to "Why are we Baptist?"
Plus: what's coming up at Family Church, including College Colors Sunday and a one-year anniversary celebration.
