  • Faith, Power & Politics; Control vs. Influence

    Today, Reggie and Lindsay are joined by Seth to unpack a big question: What can we actually control?

    From our worldview and the people around us to politics and the world at large, there’s a difference between what we can control and what we can only influence. The challenge is learning how to care about the things we can influence without letting the things outside our control negatively affect us when they don’t go the way we hoped.

    How do we find that balance—and stay grounded when things don’t go our way?

  • Faith, Power & Politics; Where Should Our Loyalty Lie?

    Where does patriotism end and our identity in God’s Kingdom begin?

    In today’s episode, Lindsay is joined by Reggie and Ryan to tackle a question that can be surprisingly difficult to navigate: What happens when our love for our country starts competing with our identity in Christ?

    How do we know when patriotism has gone too far? What are the warning signs that our national identity is taking up more space than our Kingdom identity? And when we realize we’ve gotten off track, how do we realign our hearts with where our ultimate allegiance belongs?

    It’s an honest conversation about patriotism, identity, allegiance, and what it really means to live as citizens of God’s Kingdom.

  • Faith, Power & Politics; Bad Leadership

    What do we do when we find ourselves under bad leadership—or when we simply don’t agree with the person in charge? In today’s episode, Lindsay, Reggie, and Ryan Sharp dive into the challenges of living under leadership we may not support, how we should respond, and what our responsibilities look like when we disagree with those in authority.

    Tune in for an honest conversation that may challenge the way you think about leadership, disagreement, and how we respond when the people in charge aren’t who we would have chosen.

  • Faith, Power & Politics; How Should Christians View Government?

    The Make a Dent Podcast is back from our summer break! Join Lindsay, Reggie, and Emmersyn as they kick off our new series, Faith, Politics & Authority.

    In this first episode, we explore what the Bible teaches about government, authority, and the Christian's role as a citizen. How should followers of Jesus respond to governing authorities? What does Scripture say about obedience, respect, and where our ultimate allegiance belongs?

    Whether you've wrestled with these questions or are just beginning to think about the intersection of faith and politics, this conversation lays the foundation for the series as we seek God's wisdom on navigating life as citizens of both our earthly nation and His eternal Kingdom.

  • The End of the Journey

    Lindsay is joined once again by Emma and Reggie as they wrap up this season's walk through the Journey Devotional. In this final episode of the series, they take time to reflect on what they've learned, share encouragement from the devotional, and talk about what it looks like to keep growing in your relationship with Christ long after you've turned the last page.

    While this may be the end of our conversations around the devotional Reggie wrote, it's certainly not the end of your journey of faith. Following Jesus is a lifelong adventure, and there is always another step to take, another lesson to learn, and a deeper relationship to pursue. Join the discussion as Lindsay, Emma, and Reggie talk about what comes next, how to stay rooted in your faith, and practical ways to continue walking with Christ every day.

  • Journey; Understanding Ourselves

    What if the biggest thing standing between you and a deeper relationship with God is your ego?

    In this episode, Lindsay is joined by Emma and Reggie to unpack the surprising ways pride can shape our faith. Whether it shows up as feeling superior to others or constantly feeling like we're not enough, ego has a way of distorting our identity, our relationships, and our view of God. Together, they explore how these mindsets take root, why they're so difficult to recognize, and what it looks like to walk in true humility and freedom. This conversation might challenge the way you see yourself—and transform the way you see God.
