In this episode of SFM Pod, Alex talks about a fresh vision stirring in Forward Coalition: planting healthy, disciple-making churches right in the heart of college towns. We believe the next generation is being shaped on these campuses, and the local church should be there to meet them with the gospel.

We’ll talk about why college towns are strategic for church planting, what it looks like to build and send teams, and how prayer, discipleship, and mission all come together to create multiplying communities of faith. If you’re passionate about seeing churches started where the future leaders of culture are being formed, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we confront one of the most overlooked issues in leadership today: the excuses we make for unhealthy culture. Whether it’s a controlling leader, toxic staff dynamics, or a spiritually abusive environment, too often we slap a Bible verse on dysfunction and call it “loyalty” or “honor.”

But here’s the truth—Jesus never made excuses for broken systems, and neither should we. We’ll explore the red flags of toxic culture, the subtle ways leaders deflect accountability, and how to lead with clarity and conviction when the pressure to conform is real.

If you’ve ever felt the tension between honoring leadership and calling out what’s unhealthy, this episode is for you.

Where there is no vision, the people perish.

(Proverbs 29:18)

This podcast is all about vision-why it matters, how to capture it, and what it takes to live it out as a leader. In this episode, we break down three essential keys to unlocking and pursuing the God-given vision on your life.

Whether you're leading a church, a team, or just trying to follow God's call, this is your space to get fired up, gain clarity, and move forward with bold, Spirit-led purpose.

God didn’t call you to watch from the sidelines—He called you to own the mission. In this episode, we’re talking about what it means to take full ownership of the call God has placed on your life. No more waiting for the perfect timing. No more blaming your past, your lack, or your circumstances. It’s time to rise up, take responsibility, and move with faith and fire.

This isn’t about hype—it’s about holy conviction. You were made to make history, not excuses. Let’s talk about breaking passivity, stepping into bold obedience, and living with the kind of ownership that shifts culture and expands the Kingdom.

Hey, it’s been a minute. We have been traveling, launching, and having an amazing season over the past few months. Finally, the boys are sleeping! Which is the point of this podcast. They sleep, we dominate.

This episode, we dive into this past season of life and ministry while debating the topic of “balance”. There’s an elusive goal that a lot of us have: find balance. But we feel that balanced is broken. Balance is boring. We want to live a full, vigorous, wild life for God. He sustains us!
