  • S3: Episode 65: Your Relationships Are Taking You Somewhere
    The relationships closest to us don’t just affect us—they direct us. In this episode, we unpack what it means to be “yoked” together and why choosing the right relationships with others is so important. From business to personal relationships, or even choosing a potential spouse, we’ll talk about how to discern healthy alignment and choose relationships that lead us toward God’s purposes.

  • S3: Episode 64: When God Feels Distant - Spiritual Dry Spells

    What do you do when God feels far away and your faith feels dry?

    In this episode, we talk honestly about spiritual dry spells—those seasons when prayer feels empty, worship feels flat, and doubt creeps in. We explore why dryness is normal, how feeling distant from God doesn’t mean He’s gone, and what it looks like to stay faithful when emotions fade.

    If you’re in a dry season—or have been there before—this conversation offers honesty, Scripture, and hope to keep showing up.

  • S3: Episode 63: You're Not Alone in the Struggle - Mental Health, Faith, and Real Hope
    In this powerful and honest conversation, we sit down with special guest Tina Lamarco to explore what it really looks like to navigate mental health as committed followers of Jesus. Together, they unpack the truth that Christians are not immune to anxiety, depression, or emotional struggles—and that experiencing them does not make God less faithful.

    Tina shares her own insights on how prayer and Scripture are essential but not the only tools God gives us. We discuss how counseling, community, and even medicine can be part of God’s grace in the healing journey—not enemies to faith, but companions to recovery.

    You’ll also hear practical ways we can support friends, family, and church members who are hurting, and how to foster environments where vulnerability is welcomed and hope is restored.

    If you’ve ever wrestled with mental health or walked with someone who has, this episode offers compassion, clarity, and a reminder that Jesus meets us right in the middle of our struggle.

  • S3: Episode 62: Rooted in Faith: Walking Through Transition with Confidence
    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.

  • S3: Episode 61: The Importance of Passing on Your Faith
    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.

  • S3: Episode 60: Faith, Finances, and a Generous Life
    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.

    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.

  • S3: Episode 57: How Do I Actually Read the Bible?
    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.

  • S3: Episode 56: Supplement or Substitute? Growing in Faith in a Digital World
    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.
