Side Notes // Gratitude and Look-alikes

The Ridge Weekly

In this launch episode of Side Notes, Pastors Arch and Josh dive into some real, down-to-earth talk about life, community, and what it means to live generously. You’ll get to know the hosts as they banter about the ups and downs of learning podcasting (like being way too close to the mic), accidentally matching outfits, and keeping it real after a wild family event at a Chuck E. Cheese-like wonderland. The guys laugh over relatable moments—from losing sight of a toddler in a ball pit to Josh’s near-purchase of a camper at Sam’s Club—but they also bring in more meaningful conversations around gratitude and generosity. Kicking off their new series, "Margin for More," they unpack how our culture’s constant push for “more” makes finding contentment challenging. Listen in for tips on balancing faith, fun, and some very real-life lessons on how to be content and generous.
