Before the pulpit, there was the panic. Before the calling, there was the chaos. In this episode, we get real about what ministry is actually like—beyond the stage lights and Sunday smiles. We’ll unpack what we didn’t know, what we had to learn the hard way, and what keeps us showing up week after week. Whether you’re in full-time ministry, bi-vocational, or just trying to lead a Bible study without losing your mind, this one’s for you.

Ever wonder what Sunday mornings really look like in a pastor's home with six kids, a sermon to preach, and coffee that’s never quite hot enough? In this episode, Eric and Angela pull back the curtain on their pre-church chaos, Saturday night setups, spiritual rhythms, and the sacred (and slightly messy) dance of getting their family ready to worship.

From last-minute wardrobe malfunctions to whispered prayers over mugs of coffee, we share the real-life routines, laughs, and lessons that help us show up with full hearts—whether we’re on time or not.

Whether you’re leading a church, wrangling kids, or just trying to keep your soul centered before the service, this episode is for you.

🎙️ Grab your brew and join us as we talk:

• Why Sunday starts on Saturday
• How we model worship in the home
• The power of laughter, grace, and a solid pot of coffee

Let’s get honest, caffeinated, and ready for church—together.

In this episode, Angela and I sit down with our third-born and only blond-haired, blue-eyed child—Gavin David. With his unique mix of compassion and quiet strength, Gavin opens up about life as the middle kid, his dreams of becoming a pastor… or maybe a movie director (we’ll see which one sticks!). Things get personal as we talk about the upcoming fall, when his older brother and sister head off to college, and he steps into the role of the oldest sibling at home. Join us for laughs, sibling memories, a few dad jokes, and a heartfelt conversation with a kid whose love for others shines—even if he likes to keep to himself sometimes.

Oh, and full disclosure: Angela was running on pure caffeine, and I—regrettably—grabbed the decaf. So if my responses seem unusually calm and hers are extra peppy... now you know why. ☕😄

Just like we did with her siblings, we asked Lily some of our favorite interview questions—about life, faith, family, and what it’s really like growing up with five siblings! She shares her love for barbies, princesses, and all things girly, plus her thoughts on what makes our family special.

Get ready for some heart-melting answers, a few giggles, and a whole lot of cuteness. Don’t miss this fun-filled conversation with our little ray of sunshine, Lily Grace! ☀️💖

When we isolate, we become vulnerable to discouragement, temptation, and spiritual stagnation.

We get real in this episode — sharing our own personal stories about times we've fallen into isolation and how God pulled us back through community. We also discuss why God designed us to thrive in relationships and how staying connected to a church family is crucial to your faith journey.
