Episode Summary

Each year, God gives us a prophetic word to guide Life Church into a new season of mission. In this episode, Pastor Andrea sits down with Pastor Jon to reflect on the fresh word God has spoken for 2026: GO. This is not just a word, it's a directive. Building on the journey from strengthening to reengineering to exponential growth, 2026 is the year of obedient activation. It’s about going and making disciples, locally and globally, in our homes and neighborhoods, in worship and in witness. If you’ve been sensing a shift in your spirit, this conversation will clarify what’s next and challenge you to walk in obedience to the Great Commission, right where you are.
