What's the Dill?

What if sainthood didn’t look like dusty robes and ancient icons… but sneakers, coding, and mountain climbing? On September 7, 2025, Pope Leo XIV canonized Carlo Acutis—a teen “God’s Influencer” who used the internet to spread devotion to the Eucharist—and Pier Giorgio Frassati—a young adventurer who turned hiking and serving the poor into a way of following Jesus. These two young saints change the game: they prove holiness isn’t locked away in history books—it’s for us, here and now. In this episode, we explore: 👟 Why Carlo’s love for Jesus transformed culture. ⛰ How Pier Giorgio lived out faith in adventure and charity. 🙏 What their canonization means for young Catholics today. 🔥 How you can live out real holiness in your ordinary, everyday life. Big takeaway: Sainthood isn’t about escaping the world. It’s about bringing heaven into it—through friendships, hobbies, work, and faith. ➡️ Don’t miss this episode—it might just change how you see your own call to holiness.

Everyone expected greatness. Bill Belichick, the legendary NFL coach, took over at UNC—and the hype was unreal. A new era. A proven winner. A guaranteed success. But then came the first game: a crushing 48–14 loss to TCU. The worst season opener in UNC history. The same media that praised him one week, doubted him the next. And honestly? Watching it, I realized: I’ve felt that way too. Not on ESPN—but in my walk with God. I’ve asked, “What if He lets me down? What if my story falls flat?” In this episode, we talk about what Belichick’s rough debut teaches us about expectations, failure, and faith. Because while coaches stumble and hype fades—God never does. 🕒 Key Highlights: 00:00 – Intro 02:10 – Belichick’s Big Debut… and Big Loss 06:45 – When Expectations Clash with Reality in Faith 10:20 – Why God Never Lets Us Down 👂 Listen Now: Listen or watch on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple! 📌 Connect with What’s The Dill: We aim to celebrate the everyday life of following Jesus, here at BackSeat Media.

You’re budgeting, saving, being frugal—trying to be a responsible dad. But then comes your kid’s birthday… and suddenly, you want to go all in. That was me. I threw a bigger party than I normally would for my son. Not over the top—but more than I usually spend. And here’s the thing: it wasn’t about money. It was about telling him, “You’re worth it. You deserve to be celebrated. You’re loved.” And that’s when it hit me: this is what God does for us too. He doesn’t just train us, discipline us, or prepare us for hard things. Sometimes, He simply delights in us. He blesses us for no other reason than that we’re His kids. In this episode, we explore what it means that God throws “parties” for His children—how His blessings are sometimes just love poured out, no strings attached. 🕒 Key Highlights: 00:00 – Intro 01:33 – Why Throwing My Son a Birthday Party Was Out Of My Comfort Zone for Me 05:25 – What It Taught Me About Love and God 10:13 – Where There is Love There Is The God 👂 Listen Now: Listen or watch on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple! 📌 Connect with What’s The Dill: We aim to celebrate the everyday life of following Jesus, here at BackSeat Media.

You’re praying, showing up to Mass, trying to grow in virtue—doing the right things. But then out of nowhere… it feels like you’ve slipped backwards. The old sins resurface. The old doubts come back. And you’re left wondering, “Am I failing God?” But what if regression isn’t failure? What if it’s actually part of growth? In this episode, we unpack what my 3-year-old’s sleep regression at 2 a.m. taught me about the spiritual life. Just like kids sometimes go backwards before they leap forward, our faith can feel messy, restless, and exhausting—but God is patient in the process. Through Scripture and parenting parallels, we’ll see that God never abandons us in setbacks. Instead, He uses them to deepen our trust and prepare us for real growth. This episode is your reminder that regression isn’t the end of your story—it’s part of the way God raises you into maturity. 🕒 Key Highlights: 00:00 – Intro 01:45 – The Sleep Regression Dad Story 06:20 – It's Normal To Fall 09:40 – Why God Doesn’t Panic When We Slip Back 13:05 – Pressing On 👂 Listen Now: Listen or watch on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple! 📌 Connect with What’s The Dill: We aim to celebrate the everyday life of following Jesus, here at BackSeat Media.

Potty training is the ultimate test of patience… and not just for your toddler. The smell, the bribery, the “I don’t have to go” standoffs — and somewhere in the middle of it, I had this realization: This is exactly how God parents us. In this episode, I share how those messy, frustrating moments in the bathroom taught me something huge about God’s patience, why He doesn’t force our growth, and how He walks with us through the mess until we get it right. If you’ve ever wondered why God lets you “make a mess” before you figure it out — this one’s for you. 🕒 Key Highlights: 00:00 – Intro 02:25 – Old Life Is Changing 06:40 – God is Potty Training Me 11:25 – God can work in us and change us 👂 Listen Now: Listen or watch on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple! 📌 Connect with What’s The Dill: We aim to celebrate the everyday life of following Jesus, here at BackSeat Media.

You ever been to the beach as a kid? You just ran straight to the water. But someone had to wake up early. Pack the van. Load the cooler.

Scottie Scheffler blew away sports media this past week. His thoughts on winning took many by surprise. You’re grinding. Achieving. Hustling for more— Success, recognition, security. But if success was the answer, why do so many men still feel empty once they get it?

You’re praying, working, helping others, checking the boxes—doing good things. But deep down… it still feels like it’s never enough.

In this episode, we talk about what Pope Leo XIV just reminded the world when he left Rome for his summer retreat house—a powerful and much-needed witness that even the Pope needs time to step back.
