  • Juan Rodriguez–Building the church to be better not bigger.

    It’s in the darkest of times that the brightest of lights seem to shine, and through all of the hardships in 2020 there have also been some incredibly beautiful and inspiring moments. When we last spoke with this guest he had just planted a church in Puerto Rico, but this week Pastor Juan Rodriguez from Arise Church in Puerto Rico is back and sharing with Pastor Kelly Stickel both the challenges and the successes over this past year. He’s focused on using the time we are currently in to make church better in every way in anticipation of preparing for what comes next, and you’re not going to want to hear all about it.

  • Brandon Barber–Throwing out process, bringing in presence.

    There comes a time when all of the policies, procedures and systems that we’ve nicely put in place will just not be enough. Even those of us who ‘expect the unexpected’ can eventually run out of back up plans, and then,...what then?


    Pastor Brandon Barber from Elevate People in Houston, Texas talks with Pastor Kelly this week about how they have maneuvered this past year through lockdowns, limitations, fear, conflicts and a massive winter storm that shutdown not only the city but also the services it provided. He speaks to the shift from the focus on adjusting processes to leaning in to the presence of God, and how by doing so, the church was able to minister to the community in practical ways that all other ‘processes’ had failed.

    We cannot avoid unplanned disruptions, but we can prepare for the future by making sure we are mentally, emotionally and physically healthy.

    Live vs. Online

    Isolation vs. Connection
    Quit vs. Continuing

    In this week’s podcast we have Pastor Kelly speaking with Pastor Brandon Stewart from leadingsecond.com about all of these topics, and more. With 20 years in ministry under his belt Pastor Brandon has some great insight into the aftermath of this past year and what to look ahead to in the future.
