Welcome back to the Cultivator Podcast!

Justin and Dave sit down with three guys who've spent their lives thinking hard about what it means to actually live as a citizen of the kingdom: Hugh Halter, Taylor McCall, and Lance Ford.

Here's what they keep circling back to: the kingdom isn't a future hope you're waiting on. It's a present reality you're already standing in, whether you've noticed or not.

That changes how you hear a word like repent.

As one of them puts it, "Repent is an invitation, not a warning."

An invitation into a kingdom that's already breaking into your business, your boardroom, your ordinary Tuesday.

Because discipleship was never supposed to stay inside a church building. It happens on the job, at the dinner table, in a community project like the park at Alton. "All things created are good and sacred," which means there's no part of your life too small or too secular for God to be at work in.

Here's the part that should stop you: whether you know it or not, you are already discipling someone. The only real question is what you're teaching them.

Come for the theology. Stay for the reminder: "Following Jesus has become our obsession."

What do you do when the life you planned falls apart, and the life you didn't plan for turns out to be the one God actually wanted to use?

That's the question underneath this conversation with Kerry and Lynn Miller.

They didn't set out to start a nonprofit. They set out to raise their son.

This episode is their story: the unexpected turns, the hard adjustments, the years spent navigating school systems and special education without knowing where any of it was headed.

A family that kept showing up, kept asking God what came next, and kept getting answered in ways they didn't expect.

That's what led to Turnrow Artisans, a nonprofit where adults with special needs aren't handed busywork.

They're handed purpose. Skills. Work. Dignity.

We talk about uncovering the kingdom in the middle of an ordinary, exhausting, unplanned life. We talk about what it costs to keep showing up when the path isn't clear. We talk about what it means to build something, not because you had it all figured out, but because you refused to stop looking for purpose in the middle of the hard part.

If your own story feels unfinished and unclear right now, this one's for you. Maybe it's the soil.

Welcome back to the Cultivator Podcast!

This episode, Justin sits down with Mitch Rambo.

Guitarist, music teacher, and the brains behind The Stained Glass Society, a venue for local up-and-coming Lubbock musicians to share their original creative work.

Come for the guitar talk, touring stories, and the laughs.

Stay for the reminder that hosting a room full of people is its own kind of ministry.

Justin, Scott, and Dave sit down to answer one question: what actually IS a Cultivator?

Together they break down the phrase at the center of it all:

"We exist to cultivate healthy and whole everyday people in Christ who make a Kingdom difference where they live, work, learn, and play."

What does it actually mean to be "healthy and whole"?
Who are "everyday people"?

Join us as we figure it out together.

Welcome to the Cultivator Podcast!

In this first episode, Tatum, Justin's eldest daughter, joins him as they introduce Cultivator to the neighborhood.

They go on to tell the family's story: why they do what they do, and why the Heart of Lubbock is where it's rooted.
