Reaching For Real Life with Sean Azzaro

You'll get a full podcast experience here with a Post-Casting Crowns Concert report, a Pre-Christmas LIVE Giving Exercise, and a Post-Midterm conversation on what it means, was the overturning of Roe v Wade worth the losses in the House, and what's really the bottom line...and we think you already know what it is...but listen anyway.

The day this was recorded (11/8/22) elections were happening all over the country. Picking a leader in politics is a privilege in our country, but surrounding yourself with leaders in your life is also a decision you can control. Pastor Sean shares his quick list of Biblical qualities to look for when picking a leader and not just in politics but in parenting, business, and life.

Halloween is behind us, and if you pop into Walmart or whatever retail space, Christmas is already here...but Pastor Sean says "Don't Forget Thanksgiving". And with that how do you prepare your heart if the holidays are not something you're looking forward too because of past hurts from family. Sean has a good word for you to experience Relational Health this holiday season.

Casting Crowns will be back at the Real Life Amphitheatre on November 11th. Tickets on sale at www.reallifeamp.com. Lead Singer/Youth Pastor Mark Hall takes time to reflect on 20+ years of music and pastoral ministry. While Casting Crowns has had huge success over the years, Sean asks the real life questions, and Mark gives the real life answers.

Early voting starts soon...the Midterms are here...Election Day is November 8th...and Pastor Sean Azzaro made a special list...not of the candidates but of issues that we seem to forget. Sean wants to remind you when you go to the polls, DON'T FORGET...(spoilers) politicians who were enjoying the control during COVID / who wanted to defund the police / who wanted to redefine racism...and he's just getting started. Take notes...and don't forget when you go to the polls.

10 years ago this month, River City Community Church's Pastor Jason Powers accepted the call to lead a new church plant in New Braunfels. He invited Pastor Sean to celebrate with them last Sunday as they talk about the importance of remembering what the Lord did, and what He's doing...it's important to pause because when you think about it, "it's worship".

If you think you're busy..."oh my life is so crazy...it's controlled chaos...I haven't had time to even think...if I don't get this done, no one else will do it...etc.." - yeah...we know who you are. Pastor Sean has word for you from the Bible. It fact its one of the 10 Commandments. Take time away from your "busy" life, rest...and enjoy this conversation.

Pastor Sean returns to the States after ministering to leaders of churches in India. Hear about their different style of worship, the different way they present the Gospel, the different customs, culture, and cuisine. Bottom line - figure out how to love your neighbor via missions. It will change your life, and possibly someone else too.

Trey Ware (550 KTSA Morning Host / Texas and San Antonio Radio Hall of Fame) shared his testimony a few weeks ago, and was gracious to stay with us a little longer. We dig deeper into a darker season of his faith with the loss of his two adult children Rebecca and Justin. "Why God? What did I do?" are the usual questions...be inspired by God's answer to Trey.

On Thursday September 1st, 2022 Pastor Sean and Lauri Azzaro board the plane to the mission field known as India! Why? Aren't we all supposed to go out into all the world and share the Good News? Do I have to leave the country? "Here I am Lord, send someone else" - well...as Sean says, "Never tell God what's up..." Enjoy this conversation and the road to Real Life!
