How do you stop running back to the person you used to be?

In Episode 26 of the Live It Out podcast, Adam Green and Pastor Jason Lancaster open Ephesians 4:17–24 and talk about putting off the old self, putting on the new self in Christ, and renewing your mind in God’s Word. Transformation isn’t willpower alone — it means communing with God so Scripture reshapes how you think, love, and live.

Life right now can feel heavy, exhausting, and completely devoid of hope. In Episode 25 of the Live It Out podcast, Adam Green and Pastor Jason Lancaster dive into Isaiah 35.

Far from an ancient abstract prophecy, Isaiah 35 shines like a beacon of incredible grace for the anxious, the hurting, and the fearful. Discover how Jesus is the Way that places us safely on the Highway of Holiness—bonded by a love that cannot be broken.

Even when the wilderness of today feels overwhelming, we hold fast to the promise of eternity: a day coming soon where pain, crying, and tears are gone forever, and we are with Jesus forever.

Why has sharing our faith become so intimidating? In this episode of Live It Out, Pastor Jason Lancaster and Adam Green look at Jesus’ call of Levi in Luke 5:27–32 to tackle a challenge every believer faces: why is it so difficult to share the Gospel with our neighbors, coworkers, and friends outside the church?

Outreach doesn't require a master's degree in theology or a massive church budget—it starts with simple, intentional choices right where God has placed you. Jason and Adam break down a practical strategy every single Christian can put into practice: Eat. Love. Pray.

Are you truly walking with God, or are you just coasting through life?

In this episode of Live It Out, Pastor Jason Lancaster and Adam Green dive deep into Proverbs 1:20–33 to tackle one of the greatest threats facing the modern church: spiritual complacency.

It is dangerously easy to confuse cultural comfort, routine, and a low-risk lifestyle with genuine Christian discipleship. But Proverbs 1 warns us that the complacency of fools and a turning away from Godly wisdom will reap its consequences. We break down what it actually means to stop coasting, reject passive Christianity, and actively pursue the Lord with radical intentionality to make the name of Jesus known in our homes, workplaces, and culture.

Most importantly, we ground this urgent call in the unbelievable grace of God. True motivation to live radically doesn't come from guilt or self-reliance—it flows directly from the secure hope, mercy, and victory we have in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

God calls every believer to share in the shepherding role of building up the body of Christ in His truth and love to the glory of God and the good of others.

In this episode of Live It Out, Pastor Jason Lancaster and Adam Green dig back into Ephesians 4:7–16 to examine how Christ equips every Christian to act as an everyday shepherd. We explore what it practically looks like to use God's Word to encourage, counsel, and lovingly admonish one another in our homes, workplaces, small groups, and neighborhoods.

WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE

• Everyday Shepherding vs. The Pastoral Office: How Ephesians 4 expands shepherd-like care into an everyday, mutual responsibility across the entire Body of Christ.
• Biblical Counseling vs. Worldly Advice: How to use Scripture—not just personal opinions or cliché platitudes—to counsel friends through seasons of grief, apathy, or weakness.
• Redefining Biblical Admonition: Why loving, Scripture-based correction is an essential act of gospel care rather than harsh judgment.
• Preparing Your Heart for Difficult Conversations: Practical steps to cultivate personal humility, examine your own heart, and eliminate fear before speaking truth in love.
• Receiving Correction with Grace: How resting in Christ’s righteousness allows us to drop our defensiveness and embrace loving accountability.
• Shepherding in the Home & Workplace: What it looks like for husbands, wives, parents, co-workers, and neighbors to offer shepherd-care outside the church walls.

In this episode of Live It Out, Pastor Jason Lancaster and Adam Green take a deep dive into Ephesians 4:7–16 to examine how, by the grace of Jesus, and through our church leaders to equip brothers and sisters in Christ uniquely to grow, serve, and reach the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

What We Cover In This Episode:

• The True Role of Church Leaders: How pastors, shepherds, and evangelists are called to equip believers for the work of ministry—a serving role that must always be carried out with Christlike humility.
• Overcoming Pastoral Burnout: Why ministry can’t simply rest on the shoulders of “the pastor.” We discuss how everyday believers can step in using their spiritual gifts to handle care, counseling, hospital visits, baptisms, the Lord’s Supper, etc. to build up the body of Christ.
• Ministry Beyond Church Walls: While these spiritual gifts play a vital role in Sunday ministries, they are primarily lived out outside the church—in our homes, marriages, workplaces, and in our community.
• A Fire for the Lost: How building up the body of Christ ignites a deep passion for evangelism, and why local and global missions are integral for casting a vision to reach people with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Are you living like an adopted child of the King, or a spiritual orphan trying to earn your way?

In this episode of Live It Out, Pastor Jason Lancaster and Adam Green unpack the life-changing truths of Romans 8:14–25. This is a deep dive into the staggering reality of how much God loves you in Christ. We explore how the Holy Spirit powerfully equips us to fight for holiness, what it means to be co-heirs with Christ and heirs of God Himself, and why the suffering we face right now is just a momentary blip in light of eternity.

No matter what kind of pain, weariness, or trial you are walking through today or will face in the future, if you’re a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, you have an unshakable, immovable hope anchored in God who loves you and who gives everlasting life!

Welcome back to Live It Out! In this episode, we’re sitting down with special guest Elijah Lancaster to dive deep into Mark 5:1-20. We’re breaking down the passage, sharing some extra behind-the-scenes thoughts that didn't make the Sunday sermon, and talking about what it actually looks like to live out our faith on a daily basis.

This is the truth: no one is ever a lost cause, and Jesus' specialty is reaching the unreachable—He came to seek and save the lost. We're also giving hope to those of us who tend to isolate themselves and hide their struggles instead of bringing them into the light. Plus, we talk about how Jesus' radical mercy toward the broken, scary, and crazy strong demon-possessed man should completely change the way we view those who are difficult, messy, or hard-to-love in our own circles.

It’s time to step out of our comfortable Sunday routines, go back to our own "Decapolis," and share the story of Jesus and the hope that He alone can give. Spoiler alert: you don’t need a theology degree or all the answers—you just need a testimony of what Jesus has done for you and the mercy He has shown.

Are you tired of "surface-level" Christianity that fails to hold up when life gets messy?

We often talk about the Gospel as something that saves us for eternity, but do we realize that as believers, the radical love that God has shown us should be lived out in how we interact with everyone around us? In this episode of Live It Out, Pastor Jason Lancaster and Adam Green dive into Ephesians 4:1–6 to explore how a life truly "worthy of the calling" looks, sounds, and acts in the middle of everyday friction.

If you’ve ever felt like your faith should be making a bigger impact on your marriage, your workplace, your family, your parenting, or your friendships, this conversation is for you. We are moving past the Sunday-morning platitudes to discuss what it actually looks like to "put on" Christ's humility, gentleness, and patience so that we can be peace makers with those around us.
