As 2025 comes to a close, Steve Buttram, Paxton Redd, Michael Shearon, and Josh Hensley gather around the table to reflect on a year marked by God’s faithfulness—from launching a new campus to walking through personal challenges with hope and peace. With laughter, honesty, and a few unforgettable “hot tips” (yes… brown your butter), the team looks back on how God has been present in both the big moments and the ordinary rhythms of life.

The conversation then turns forward, exploring how to step into a new year without pressure—choosing grace, intentionality, diligence, and dependence on God over unrealistic resolutions. The episode closes by inviting listeners to reflect alongside the team: What are you carrying forward into the new year, and what is God inviting you to finally lay down? It’s a meaningful, joy-filled way to close one season and open another—together.
