The conversations that shaped us most didn’t happen in boardrooms—they happened in barns, coffee shops, trucks, and around kitchen tables. That’s the spirit of this show. Kyle & Gary, sit down, hit record, and go deep on the stuff that matters—faith, business, family, politics, culture—and crack a few jokes along the way. New episodes every Wednesday!

| Bad Church Leaders & Incoming Persecution? - Mike Schouten - Briefcase & The Barn - Ep 66 | 22 Oct 2025 | 00:38:59 | |
Gary’s out this week, so I sat down with Mike from ARPA Canada to talk real life: why a good friend sometimes tells you not to add another hobby, how to actually find mentors, what servant leadership looks like in the church, and how a grueling Terry Fox ride turned grief into grit—and reminded us to lead from within, starting at home. We also touch the hot stuff—free speech, MAiD, civil courage—not as rage-bait, but as dads and Christians who want to stand firm, love well, and keep our priorities straight. -- The Briefcase & The Barn is hosted by two Dutch Reformed misfits who’ve spent most of their lives in the church’s side-eye.

This week on The Briefcase & The Barn, Gary and I wander from tractors to tithes, why isolation is the devil’s best friend.

We also got into one of the big ones: are pictures of Jesus actually ok, or are they breaking the 2nd Commandment? From homeschool extremes, to why we all push back on authority, to the reality farmers face with Canada’s worker shortage—we tried to keep it real, grounded in faith, and cracking a few jokes along the way. -- The Briefcase & The Barn is hosted by two Dutch Reformed misfits who’ve spent most of their lives in the church’s side-eye.

This week, Gary and I sat down to answer a pile of listener questions—and you guys didn’t hold back! We got into everything from spiritual warfare vs. sleep paralysis, to Dutch “cultural sins” we laugh off but maybe shouldn’t. We also tackled whether God cares about the careers Christians choose, and if it’s a sin to believe wrong theology. Lastly, we watched and reacted to a heavy but powerful clip from Tim Tebow about child exploitation. -- The Briefcase & The Barn is hosted by two Dutch Reformed misfits who’ve spent most of their lives in the church’s side-eye.

We get into why I’ve been reading the book of John the same way, over and over, and how it’s made God way more real to me. We talk about conflict, courage, and why most of us will do more to avoid what we fear than to get what we actually want.

We get into the Coldplay cheating scandal, spiritual warfare, parenting rants, and even why I think 16-year-olds shouldn’t vote.

| "Half the people in Church aren't actual Christians" – Matt Kean – The Briefcase & The Barn - Ep 52 | 16 Jul 2025 | 00:38:15 | |
Gary’s off this week, so I sat down with my good friend Matt Kean, pastor of a Salvation Army Church. We talk about why he thinks half the people in church might not even be saved, what it really means to follow Jesus, and what to do when you don’t feel anything toward God anymore. We also hit on devotions, free will, and some thoughts on Mark Carney vs. Trudeau. -- The Briefcase & The Barn is hosted by two Dutch Reformed misfits who’ve spent most of their lives in the church’s side-eye. Kyle Van Ruitenburg is the PK and connections guy who’s been around the world (and yes—straight off the boat). Gary Baars is the money guy who’s been around just about every farm and cow. Together, they have blunt, funny, real talk about business, life, faith, culture, and the stuff Christians usually don't talk about. Recorded on the west coast of Canada in Chilliwack, BC.
