In this episode, our guest - Eli Bonilla Jr. - and I have a great time talking about how to engage in a healthy way with social media, while making the priority enjoying the adventurous life happening right in front of us. Because we're talking to an experienced "sneakerhead," we had to ask him about the secret to starting a sneaker game. Also, we dive deep into the importance of biblical literacy and knowing the Word of God for yourself. This and more in this episode of the Sonship & Sexuality Podcast!

In this episode, Pastor Brandon Cormier and Pastor James Neal give incredible insight into the theme of consecration. What does it mean to live set apart? How does our purity impact our spiritual authority? What connection does purpose have with purity? And in a world of "my truth" and "your truth," how do we stay centered on The Truth?  

Pastor Brandon Cormier was born in the Cajun lands of Louisiana and raised by parents who were committed to serving God and the local church. After earning his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Brandon joined Youth With A Mission for 5 months of discipleship, training in hearing God’s voice, and serving on the mission fields of Calcutta, India, and Capetown, South Africa. This was a significant time that marked Brandon’s heart with a burning passion for intercession and leading environments of encounter. Brandon also earned his Master of Divinity from Oral Roberts University. During that season, Brandon married his best friend, Octavia, and the two have consistently labored side by side in discipling and mentoring young people both at church and in their home.

Since their beginning years of ministry, Brandon and Octavia have known that they would be involved somewhere in church ministry their entire lives. In the spring of 2018, they began to experience a “supernatural love” for Colorado Springs— the city in which all of their children were born–and where they served for five years in youth ministry. It was in that season that God made it abundantly clear that He was laying a burden for the city on their hearts.

After much counsel and prayer, Brandon and Octavia made the exciting decision to obey the call of God by launching a Spirit-empowered, life-giving church in order to reach those who are far from God. September 13th, 2020, Zeal Church launched with nearly 800 people in attendance. Each weekend, over 1,000 people gather in person to know God, experience freedom, discover purpose, and make a difference!

Pastor James Neal is a two time graduate of Oral Roberts University. James graduated with his undergraduate degree in Ministry & Leadership, and shortly after, received Master of Divinity degree. Upon graduating with his undergraduate degree, James married his wonderful wife Chynna – who is also a graduate of Oral Roberts University – and they both currently live in Colorado Springs, Colorado. James has been serving Pastor Brandon and Zeal Church since its’ founding in September 2022, and currently serves as the Pastor of Small Groups.

The first episode of 2022 starts strong with a great conversation with Dr. Doug Weiss on how young adults can live a life clean - free from addiction or bondage to pornography, masturbation, or sexual temptation.

He has counseled with sex addicts and their partners for almost three decades. Heart to Heart Counseling Center maintains weekly 3 and 5 Day Intensives that couples fly in from all over the world to attend, dozens of weekly groups, hundreds of weekly appointments with 16 counselors on staff. Dr. Weiss personally continues to provide 5 Day Intensives at the Center.
