  • TA's Pursuit: Where the Gospel and Cultural Relevance Meet

    As someone who preaches in front of thousands of college students every week, TA has a lot of experience with reaching people who are deep into the American culture of fashion and music and any other relevant topic that is currently affecting students' lives. In this episode, TA and Katie discuss TA's approach to marketing and running Breakaway Ministries, how to appeal to culture without conforming to it, and how the Gospel is more relevant than any pair of fancy sneakers or half-a-million dollar sound system.

  • Rachel's Mission: How can Jesus' Bride Across the World Bring Hope to Jesus' Bride Here?

    After college, Rachel moved across the world to help translate Scripture in a Central Asian country. Experiencing life outside an American context forced her to put her faith in perspective.

  • Lo's Platform: New Media Culture — Same Faithful God

    When Lo recited a poem as his bride walked down the aisle, he had no idea that the moment would go viral, sparking a tension within him that tugged between the value of social media and the dangers it poses. In this episode, Lo and Katie discuss how social media gives him a platform to share his poetry, the responsibility Christ-followers hold when it comes to social media , and how Jesus' promise of rest is still relevant, even in a time when the apps on our phones demand more and more with every click and scroll.

    Scott Erickson has known death on all its spectrum—from the death of a dream to the death of a friend—and, as COVID-19's reached our shore, death's demanded a seat at his table once again. Last spring, Scott and his family packed up their home to move from the Portland area to Austin, TX, only to find themselves in the middle of a worldwide pandemic.

However, in recent years, he's come to acknowledge the power his influence gives him—and the heavy responsibility it holds.

  • Daniel's Vision: What is Left of the Church When its Form is Gone?

    At only thirteen years old, God called Daniel Lumpee to become a pastor, asking him to dedicate his life to what appears to be a dying institution in our post-Christian culture. However, Daniel's vision for his role in the Church was bigger than what any statistics could say. In this episode, Daniel and Katie discuss Daniel's journey of planting a Thursday-night church, the tragedy of church consumer culture, and how COVID-19 has exposed our reliance on a form of Church rather than on Jesus and the people he chooses to build his Church with.
