Church planting can turn into the world’s worst comparison game—like pastors secretly checking each other’s “spiritual stats” as if ministry came with a scoreboard. It’s easy to think that filling roles, adding programs, and boosting capacity will magically grow the church. But without the move of the Spirit, all that “growth” is just pride wearing a name tag.

Join Chris and Ricky as they get candid (and occasionally roast themselves) about early ministry mistakes, pursuing righteousness, and taking sin seriously—because sanctification is real, and pastors are not exempt. Laugh, learn, and be reminded that Jesus builds His church. Jesus is gracious to us.

Pastoring in the summer can stretch every church planter. People travel, rhythms shift, attendance dips, giving fluctuates, and leaders are left navigating constant change. In this episode, Ricky and Chris share real lessons learned from leading churches through the summer months—offering encouragement, perspective, and a reminder that even in unpredictable seasons, Jesus is still King and His church is still His.
