Israel, Iran, & Tax Loopholes

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.

New episodes every Wednesday at 5 am PST.

Created & produced by The Furiously Curious Company.

Kyle and Gary open with humor and light banter about feedback, missed meetings, and real-life frustrations, then dive into topics like the high-stakes business of agricultural equipment (highlighting the new GÖWEIL balers), a new Furiously Curious recruiting initiative, and thoughts on spiritual authenticity.

They reflect deeply on faith, particularly through a John Piper clip emphasizing the difference between knowing theology and truly knowing God. The episode also explores complex topics like war in the Middle East, the role of church attendance, spiritual legalism, leadership in churches, and how Christians should view taxes. Throughout, they stay grounded in personal experience, practical wisdom, and a desire to live faithfully.
