Handling Criticism, God Wants Me Happy?, and Growing Closer to Jesus - February 12, 2026
Podcasts > The Steve Marston Show
He’s a regular guy with a cool job—and a deep love for Jesus. The Steve Marston Show is a daily, faith-and-fun conversation designed to help you take the next step in your walk with Christ. Think of it as a “200-level” discipleship course: deeper than the basics, but still practical, relatable, and real.
Each episode blends biblical truth, cultural commentary, and honest talk about marriage, parenting, identity, and what it looks like to put God first in a busy, distracted world. Along the way, Steve sits down with guests God is working through, highlights stories of transformation, explores what’s happening in the news through a Christian lens, and—yes—delivers a steady dose of dad jokes.
Serious about faith. Serious about fun. And serious about helping you live like Jesus where it matters most.

He also debunks the common myth that “God wants me happy,” explaining instead that God’s true desire is holiness and obedience. Plus, Steve welcomes his son Tyler to discuss the 1189 Bible commentary project, Deuteronomy, and how daily Scripture study helps believers grow closer to Christ.
