In this episode of the Jubilee Church Podcast, Jordan Dillon sits down with Miguel Villahermosa from New Community Church in Tacoma, Washington. Together they discuss worship, joy, and what it means to respond to the biblical call to praise God with our whole lives.

The conversation also turns to Miguel's personal journey through the loss of his wife, how grief has shaped his understanding of joy and hope, and what God has been teaching him in this season. It's an honest and encouraging conversation about worshiping God through both celebration and suffering.

Every June, Christians are faced with questions about Pride Month, sexuality, identity, and how to faithfully engage a culture with deeply different beliefs. In this episode, we explore how followers of Jesus can respond with both conviction and compassion. We discuss why conversations around LGBTQ identity often feel so personal, how modern ideas of empathy have reshaped the discussion, and what it means to genuinely love people without affirming every belief or behavior.

Looking to the example of Jesus and the teaching of Scripture, we examine how Christians can meet people where they are while also challenging ideas that stand opposed to the gospel. We also address some of the most common questions and objections surrounding this topic, including whether the Bible speaks about homosexuality, why sexual ethics matter, questions of nature versus choice, and the claim that “love is love.” Our hope is to help believers navigate Pride Month with truth, grace, wisdom, and a heart that reflects Christ.

What inspired Built for More? Why does this message seem to be resonating with so many people right now? In this bonus conversation, Bryan Mowrey shares the vision behind the book and discusses how it seeks to move readers beyond information and into genuine transformation. We explore the impact he's hoping to see in men, families, and churches, address some of the feedback the book has received, and discuss why discipling men remains one of the greatest opportunities for the church today.

Whether you've already read the book or are simply curious about its heart and purpose, this conversation offers a deeper look at the message behind Built for More.

Leadership is one of God's primary ways of serving and strengthening His people, yet many Christians have complicated experiences with it. In this episode, we explore why aspiring to leadership can be a good and godly desire, the difference between gospel-centered ambition and selfish ambition, and how our motives shape the way we lead. We also discuss the lasting effects of leadership abuse, what distinguishes strong leadership from weak leadership, and how healthy leaders create environments where people can flourish. Finally, we examine the Bible's teaching on male and female leadership roles within the church and why these distinctions matter for the health and mission of God's people.

Whether you're currently leading, considering leadership, or recovering from poor leadership experiences, this conversation offers a biblical framework for understanding authority, responsibility, and service in the church.

This week on the Jubilee Church Podcast, Bryan and Jordan are joined by Wesley McCutchan to talk about the release of Built For More, the challenges young men are facing today, and why mentorship and intentional relationships matter more than ever. They discuss shame, identity, encouragement, and the kind of words and relationships that can change the trajectory of a young man’s life.

The conversation then shifts into a thoughtful breakdown of 1 Timothy 2, exploring how to approach difficult Bible passages, why context matters when reading Scripture, and how to discern eternal truths within cultural settings.

Bryan and Jordan are joined by special guests Elijah Stanley and Alyssa McCutchan for a unique conversation on insecurity, discipleship, biblical manhood, and one of the most debated passages in the New Testament. Elijah shares his personal story featured in Bryan’s new book and opens up about isolation, shame, mentorship, and finding identity as a son of God.

Alyssa offers a powerful perspective on why discipling young men deeply impacts women, families, and the health of the church. They also walk through 1 Timothy 2:8–15 and discuss how Christians should approach difficult Bible passages with humility, context, and trust in Scripture.

Bryan’s new book, Built for More, releases Monday, May 18.

This episode explores how men are actually formed through discipleship, sound doctrine, and spiritual relationships. Bryan and Jordan discuss the relationship between Paul and Timothy, why so many men feel spiritually stuck, the myths and distractions that keep men passive, and why biblical truth is essential for courage, leadership, and conviction. They also unpack the role of spiritual fatherhood, mentorship, and the importance of men being both led and leading others.

What does it actually mean to be a man and why do so many men feel unsure of their identity? In this episode, we unpack the role model crisis shaping a generation, and why biblical manhood isn’t formed in isolation. From the voices that shaped us to the ones we’re missing, we talk about how identity is formed, why so many men feel stuck, and how the right people in your life can call out who God created you to be. If you’ve ever felt directionless or unsure of your role as a man, this conversation gets to the root and points toward a better way forward.

In this episode of the Jubilee Church Podcast, we explore why following Jesus was never meant to be done alone. From our connection with the Confluence family of churches to the heart behind shared mission and church planting, we talk about the power of spiritual family and doing ministry together.

We also dive into the importance of brotherhood in a culture that pushes isolation and why real growth requires vulnerability, accountability, and intentional relationships. Finally, we unpack prayer as the language of dependence and what it looks like to truly connect with God in a deeper, more personal way.

In this episode, we reflect on a powerful celebration of life and the impact of a faith that endures beyond death, along with a few cultural moments shaping the conversation right now.

The heart of this episode centers on a simple challenge. Most believers have a story, but many struggle to share it. We unpack how boldness flows from nearness to Jesus, not pressure or performance. Through practical tools like BLESS and real life examples, we talk about what it looks like to share your faith in everyday spaces.

Finally, we address a deeper cultural lie about happiness and purpose. What if fulfillment is not found in creating your own path, but in living for something greater and helping others thrive?

This episode is a call to live boldly and trust that your story matters.
