What if the stories you hide are the ones shaping you most? This conversation pulls back the curtain on ministry’s unfiltered moments of failure, risk, and the lessons that form healthy leaders. We talk about calling without comparison, surrendering outcomes, and asking the question that keeps us grounded: “Lord, do You take pleasure in this?”

Elisha shares hard-won wisdom from two decades in youth ministry on longevity, clarity, and staying present where God plants you. We get practical about purity, dating, and boundaries, guarding hearts in a culture that rushes intimacy before commitment and learning how to honor Christ with wisdom, patience, and purpose.

We explore hearing God in ordinary places, anchoring faith in decisions rather than feelings, and choosing depth over hype by prioritizing impact over influence and discipleship over viral moments. We look ahead with hope at a church that is younger, deeper, and more missional, willing to grow through healthy correction and safe failure.

We close with stories of healing, making space for the Spirit without performance pressure, and bridging generations so youthful zeal and seasoned wisdom grow together. Through it all, one invitation remains: return to your first love and let everything else flow from there.

If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs courage today, and leave a review so more people can find these conversations. Your voice helps us build for impact, not just influence.
