It’s been a WILD few weeks! In this special episode of Comm Talk, Dallas and Celeste dive into their experiences taking students to Louisiana Student Summer Camp and then leading students as they put on their own kids camp called Hero Academy. From spiritual breakthroughs to marshmallow debates (burned or roasted?!), this episode is packed with stories, laughter, and powerful lessons in discipleship. Whether you're a parent, youth leader, or camp survivor, this one’s for you! Several times we give a special thanks to Charlie Allo, Director of Next Gen Ministries in Louisiana for the Assemblies of God. He and his team made Summer Camp incredibly special.

In this episode of Comm Talk by Geek Devotions, Dallas and Celeste discuss Marvel’s decision to delay Avengers: Doomsday and how it might help the MCU. They look at what this means for other upcoming projects like Secret Wars, The Fantastic Four, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

They also take time to discuss how choosing quality over quantity applies to real life and why delay is sometimes necessary for long-term growth.

In this episode of Comm Talk by Geek Devotions, Dallas and Celeste are diving into two stories that surprised them in all the best ways.

First up, Apothecary Diaries. After binge-watching all of Season 1 and catching up on Season 2, they break down what the show’s about, why it grabbed their attention, and some of the deeper stuff going on beneath the surface. From the structure of the palace society to the emotional weight the characters carry, there's a lot more happening here than just solving medical mysteries.

Then after a quick break, they jump into Marvel’s Thunderbolts. They unpack the story, talk about what worked, what didn’t, and how the film opens the door to some pretty real conversations, especially around depression, purpose, and what it means to move forward when life gets heavy.

If you've been curious about either of these or just want to hear some real talk about storytelling, grab your coffee and let’s chat.
