Between Sundays

In this episode of Between Sundays, Pastor Billy and Pastor Zuniga sit down with a UPCI missionary, Bro. Dabbs, for a conversation that spans continents and generations. Bro. Dabbs has served in missions since 2007, and now ministers in restricted and underground environments around the world through Access Challenge Nations.

We talk through what it really means to lead like a servant, learning to serve faithfully in the small, unseen tasks before being trusted with more, and what it looks like to take dominion over your own heart before trying to influence anyone else's. Bro. Dabbs also reshapes what evangelism actually is: not an invitation to a building, but an invitation into a real relationship built on trust.

He closes with a remarkable story of legacy, how one missionary's faithfulness in a small American town rippled forward through generations, eventually reaching Bro. Dabbs' own family and helping launch a church on the other side of the world overseas. A powerful reminder that small acts of obedience echo further than we ever see, between Sundays.

In this episode of Between Sundays, Pastor Billy and Pastor Zuniga sit down to talk about a question every leader has to face eventually: do you still actually care, or have you slipped into autopilot? It's easy for passion to fade into routine, even in ministry, even when everything still looks fine on the outside.

We dig into what it means to lead from a learner's posture instead of coasting on what used to work, and we talk through "caring without carrying," doing your part with excellence while trusting God with the outcome. Along the way, we walk through five quiet signs that someone has stopped caring: no more growth, no more praying for God to move, no adjustments from feedback, no sacrifice, and losing sight of the people your work is actually for.

We close by honoring Toby, a GPC volunteer whose servant heart is a picture of what real care looks like in action. Whatever season you're in, this one's an honest check on whether you're still leading with your whole heart, between Sundays.

What happens when the battle you're facing isn't just natural?

In this episode of Between Sundays, Pastor Zuniga and Pastor Billy sit down with evangelist Taylor Little for a powerful conversation about spiritual warfare, discernment, apostolic authority, and consecration.

Building on what God did during a powerful Sunday at GPC, Taylor shares what he sensed in the Spirit, why the Church needs spiritual authority in this hour, and what it means to become “blacksmiths” who know how to sharpen our spiritual weapons in the Word of God.

This conversation is a call to recognize the battle, trust God-given spiritual leadership, and pursue a consecrated life with fresh hunger.

God is still speaking. God is still fighting for His people. And God is still writing the story.

District Superintendent Doug Ellingsworth joins us for an honest conversation about the future of the Church. We discuss creating a disciple-making culture, empowering young leaders earlier, preparing for generational leadership transitions, and why churches need moments to simply linger in the presence of God. If you're passionate about the future of the Kingdom, leadership development, and seeing the next generation thrive, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.

Friendship isn't just something that's nice to have. It's essential to living the life God designed for us.

In this episode of Between Sundays, Pastor Zuniga and Pastor Billy have an honest conversation about the growing loneliness epidemic, why meaningful friendships are harder to build than ever, and how understanding the different seasons of friendship can change the way we view relationships. They discuss why most people only have a handful of close friends, what Scripture teaches about friendship, and practical habits anyone can develop to become the kind of friend others want to be around.

Whether you've been feeling disconnected, are struggling to find your people, or simply want to strengthen the relationships you already have, this conversation offers both encouragement and practical wisdom.

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why friendship is essential, not optional
• The "scattering" that happens in every season of life
• Why most people only have 3 to 5 truly close friends
• Seven practical ways to build stronger friendships
• How small groups create opportunities for real connection
• Why your greatest friendships may still be ahead of you

Because healthy churches are built on healthy relationships, and nobody was meant to do life alone.

Justin and Hillary Jeter wear a lot of hats: family pastors, business owners, parents, and ministry leaders. In this honest conversation, they share what it really takes to build a thriving family while navigating the demands of ministry and entrepreneurship.

From weekly "family business meetings" and intentional communication to raising children with purpose, making difficult sacrifices, and trusting God through every season, the Jeters offer practical wisdom for anyone trying to balance faith, family, work, and calling.

Whether you're leading a church, building a business, raising kids, or simply trying to live with greater intentionality, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to make the small decisions today that shape the life you want tomorrow.

In this episode of Between Sundays, we're talking about one of the most overlooked ministries in the church: hospitality.

Hospitality isn't just the job of greeters or first impressions teams. It's the responsibility of every believer. Every smile, every conversation, every invitation, and every intentional moment has the potential to become someone's turning point with God.

Through powerful stories from ministry, leadership, and even the restaurant industry, we explore why excellence may get people through the doors—but hospitality is what makes them want to come back. We discuss how creating a welcoming culture removes barriers, opens hearts, and partners with God to change lives.

Because every Sunday is someone's first Sunday. Every Sunday is someone's hardest Sunday. And every Sunday is an opportunity for God to use you.

Whether you're a leader, volunteer, or simply call the church home, this conversation will challenge you to see hospitality as more than a handshake...it is a ministry that points people to Jesus.

What really happens at the altar? Why does it still matter in today’s church culture? In this episode of Between Sundays, Pastor Billy and Pastor Zuniga dive into the purpose, power, and personal significance of the altar experience. From biblical foundations to practical conversations about modern church culture, they unpack why the altar is more than a Pentecostal tradition. It is a place of surrender, transformation, healing, and encounter with God.

Whether you’re new to church, unfamiliar with altar calls, or someone who’s grown up around them your whole life, this conversation will challenge you to rediscover the sacredness of responding to God’s presence. They also discuss personal prayer altars at home, creating healthy altar culture in the church, and how meaningful altar moments can shape families and future generations.

This episode is honest, practical, deeply spiritual, and a reminder that some of life’s greatest changes happen when we simply respond.

On this episode of Between Sundays, Pastor Tim Zuniga and Pastor Billy Haley unpack the heart behind GPC’s 2026 vision: Be These.

What did Jesus really mean when He called believers the salt of the earth and the light of the world? In this practical and inspiring conversation, they explore how Christians are called to reveal truth, guide others toward hope, preserve what is good, and make a real difference through everyday interactions.

From workplace conversations to personal conviction, this episode challenges listeners to live their faith intentionally and embrace their identity as followers of Jesus.

As you go… be these. Salt and light.

What keeps people moving forward when life gets hard?

In this episode of Between Sundays, we dive into the power of resilience. From personal setbacks and ministry challenges to pain, disappointment, and disruption, we talk about what actually helps people keep going when they feel like quitting.

We discuss:

• Why resilience is more than just “being tough”
• How meaning gives strength to suffering
• The importance of deep relationships and honest conversations
• Why isolation is dangerous
• How adaptive thinking changes the way we handle adversity
• What Scripture teaches about enduring difficult seasons

Whether you’re leading, hurting, rebuilding, or just trying to make it through a difficult season, this conversation will encourage you to keep moving forward.

“The things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto…” What if your pain still has purpose?
