Todays finale to season 2 features our home church pastor Allyson Phillips! We invited Allyson on the show today because she has incredible insight on how to steward our emotions well. A lot of times, emotions are thought to be a hindrance in ministry, but through Allyson's kindness and wisdom on the subject, she helps to bring clarity on how to gain freedom in this area of life. Thanks so much for joining us on this season of the podcast!

Las Vegas is one of our favorite places to visit! It is mostly because of the two people we are interviewing on the show today! Tony Monto and Miriam Cortrite work at Calvary Chapel Las Vegas as the worship pastor and worship assistant. We loved our conversation with them about church, culture, and loving people well within the context of the city in which you live. Please enjoy today's episode!

We have been hanging out and doing ministry with Pastor David Zamora for several years whenever we come to Fontana, CA. Get ready for a wild ride as David recounts the radical journey of Jesus transforming him from gang-banger to pastor. For real. It's a crazy story and we're thrilled to give you a window into the story of our friend, Pastor Z! .

This week we talk to long-time friend, Kim Merrikin, who diligently works for an advocacy organization called REST in Seattle, WA. REST exists to bring freedom, safety and hope to individuals exploited in sex trade industries. Our conversation explores what being an advocate for freedom truly looks like, and what it means to be a Christ-follower in an age of rampant sexual exploitation. We also have lots of fun and laugh a lot because we love Kim and always will.
