Brewing Bold Faith Pt. 1: Starting the Brew w/ Steve Mills☕


Listen Later

In this FIRST episode of Brewing Bold Faith, we dive deep into what it truly means to live with bold faith... especially in the face of hardship, uncertainty, & change✝️


We explore how Social Identity Theory helps us understand the power of belonging, community, & shared beliefs in shaping our spiritual lives. When faith becomes part of who we are, it doesn’t just stay personal; it becomes a source of strength that empowers us to serve others.


Our special guest, Steve Mills, shares his powerful journey from serving in the military & working as a firefighter to now serving others as a hospice chaplain. Through his experiences on the front lines of life, loss, & healing, Steve reflects on how bold faith, & a strong community of support, helped him persevere. He also opens up about how those experiences led him to discover meaningful ways to walk alongside, encourage, & care for others in their most difficult seasons.


In this episode, you’ll learn:

✨What “bold faith” looks like in everyday life

✨How community strengthens spiritual resilience

✨The role of identity in spiritual growth

✨How life’s challenges can shape a heart for service

✨Ways to use your faith to support & uplift others


Whether you’re navigating a tough season or searching for deeper purpose, this conversation will inspire you to stand strong, stay connected, & live out your faith with courage & compassion.
