ChewCreek Podcast

In this episode of Called Out of Comfort, a continuation of our 2026 Comfort Kills series, we dive into God's call for men and women to step beyond the comforts of individualism and into biblical community. We discuss why gathering with other believers matters, how comfort can quietly become an idol, and why spiritual growth often happens in places that challenge us rather than cater to us.

Jake and I sat down by the campfire to record a milestone: the first-ever video episode in ChewCreek Podcast history.We spent the weekend rock climbing and sleeping at North River Campground.Trading the noise of the daily grind for the peaceful nights by the river. There is something about being outdoors suspended on a rock face or sitting under the stars. that forces you to look upward and inward.In this episode, we’re diving into the heart of Rewilding our Souls. We talk about why "Comfort Kills" is the first in the series for 2026. And how stepping into the wild helps us reconnect with the Creator and our true purpose.

In this episode, I sit down with Pastor Angel Cartagena (AC) to talk about the real side of life in ministry. He shares how he came to faith, the joys and challenges of marriage, and the struggle to find balance when the weight of ministry feels overwhelming. We also have an open and raw conversation about pornography—an issue many wrestle with but few are willing to talk about. This is an honest look at faith, marriage, and ministry without the filters.

Got together with a close friend of mine to record this episode on a beautiful thanksgiving weekend. John Kidd has made a big impact on me with his story and I know it will impact a lot of people out there. John is a carpenter, farmer, entrepreneur, and most importantly a believer in Christ. Like many of us before we became believers in Jesus Christ we had a past. I am thankful for Johns' willingness to get vulnerable with his past, in hopes that it will reach someone else who needs to hear it. While he humbly admits like all of us, that his story is still being written. He knows God can use him in the present as he continues to learn and grow.

That goal being healthy sexuality, which in turn has made our marriages much stronger and will continue to do so. Tom is open and vulnerable in this podcast as he talks about how his addiction to sex, and pornography effected his marriage for many years. Until one day it all came out..... give it a listen, I personally took away a lot and all my conversations with Tom have been encouraging.
