In this episode of Conversations About Meaningful Things, we sit down with college student Emeth Jamison and high school senior Nate Bajus to talk about what it truly means to be rooted in faith—especially in seasons of transition.

Whether you’re stepping into a new school, a new job, or a new stage of life, it’s easy to feel unsteady. But you don’t have to navigate it alone. Emeth and Nate share honest stories about how they’ve stayed grounded in Jesus, the mentors who have shaped them, and the importance of community when everything around you is changing.

Listen in for real wisdom, practical encouragement, and a reminder that no matter the season, God invites you to stay close, stay rooted, and stay connected.

In this episode, we dive into the beautiful and challenging work of intergenerational faith—what it means to pass our faith on to the next generation with intentionality, consistency, and love. We talk about the everyday discipleship that happens in the home, the legacy we’re building through our parenting and relationships, and the small, faithful practices that help anchor our kids and students in Christ.

We also address a reality many families face: loving family members who aren’t walking with the Lord. How do you stay hopeful? How do you stay connected without compromising your convictions? And what does it look like to trust God with the people you love most?

Whether you’re a parent, mentor, grandparent, youth leader, or someone praying for a prodigal, this conversation is filled with encouragement, biblical wisdom, and practical steps for living out a faith that lasts beyond you.

Money shapes more of our lives than we often admit — our habits, our stress, our decisions, even our discipleship. In this episode, we sit down with our Executive Pastor, Hank Coleman, for a real and honest conversation about how faith and finances intersect.

Hank brings both biblical wisdom and practical experience as we talk about what Scripture actually says about money, why generosity matters for our spiritual formation, and how followers of Jesus can navigate finances with freedom instead of fear.

Whether you’re just starting out, trying to climb out of debt, or simply wanting to be more faithful with what God’s given you, this conversation will help you rethink the way you view resources, stewardship, and kingdom impact.

Join us for a grounded, encouraging, and eye-opening discussion that just might reshape how you handle money — and how money shapes you.

Friendship as an adult isn’t as easy as it used to be. Between busy schedules, family life, and constant digital connection, actually connecting can feel harder than ever. In this episode, we talk about why adult friendship can be so complicated, why it still deeply matters for our faith and emotional health, and how we can pursue real, lasting relationships in the middle of it all.

Does God really care what we do for a living? Whether you’re just starting out, in the middle of your career, or wondering if your job even matters, this episode’s for you. We’re talking about calling—how God can use our everyday work, talents, and passions for His glory.

From teachers to tech workers, parents to business owners, your work isn’t separate from your faith—it’s part of it. Join us as we explore how to see your career as more than just a paycheck, and how to bring purpose and worship into whatever you do.

Let’s be honest—reading the Bible isn’t always easy. Between the weird names, ancient stories, and thick theology, it can be hard to know where to even start. In this episode, we talk about how to actually read the Bible in a way that’s real, doable, and life-giving. We’ll hit on things like where to begin, how to make sense of what you’re reading, and what to do when it feels confusing or dry. Whether you’ve been following Jesus for years or you’re just cracking open Scripture for the first time, this episode will help you connect with God through His Word in a fresh way.

In today’s world, technology gives us incredible tools for spiritual growth—podcasts, sermon streams, devotion apps, and more. But here’s the challenge: are we using these as supplements to our walk with God, or as substitutes for the core practices of faith?

In this episode, we explore the difference between letting resources enrich our journey and letting them replace what matters most—like opening Scripture for ourselves, spending time in prayer, and gathering with other believers. We’ll talk about the gift of having access to so much teaching and content, while also reminding ourselves that nothing can replace the living and active Word of God.

If you’ve ever found yourself hitting “play” on a sermon but skipping time in the Bible, or listening to every podcast but not engaging with God personally, this conversation is for you.

Why do so many of us shy away from conversation? In a world that feels more connected than ever, many of us are actually becoming more distant, more guarded, and more antisocial. But as followers of Jesus, we’re called to step into people’s lives, to listen, to share, and to bring the hope of the gospel to the world around us.

In this episode, we talk about the barriers that keep us from engaging others in meaningful conversation, the cultural habits that have made us less relational, and how these challenges affect our mission as disciples. We’ll explore practical ways to break through the awkwardness, build genuine connections, and faithfully live out Jesus’ command to “go into all the world” with good news that changes lives.

When life feels overwhelming and the world seems covered in shadows, where do we turn? 

In this episode, we talk about how to find real hope even in the darkest seasons. Together, we’ll explore how God’s presence shines light into our struggles, why hope isn’t wishful thinking but a confident trust in Him, and how we can cling to His promises when everything else feels uncertain. Whether you’re walking through grief, facing challenges, or simply feeling weary, this conversation is a reminder that God’s light still breaks through—and that hope is never out of reach.
