What happens when we stop trying to control the moment and actually make space for God to move? In this conversation, Pastors Chad Lunsford, Greg Anderson, and Anne Wilson reflect on an unforgettable week at summer camp where prayer shaped everything, plans were interrupted, and students experienced life-changing encounters with Jesus.

As they process what God did, they begin to name what it means for everyday life, especially for parents and families and their influence in the home. They talk about the importance of modeling faith and simple next steps like prayer, being in the Word, and creating space for God to move in ordinary moments.

In this episode, Pastors Greg Anderson and Landon Rose unpack what it means to “Come Ready” to church each weekend, and why our posture before we walk through the doors matters more than we realize. From worship and community to spiritual growth, they highlight the difference between simply showing up and actively engaging with what God wants to do in and through us.

They’re then joined by guest Scott Nickel, Lead Pastor at Southland Christian Church, for a wide-ranging conversation on faith, culture, parenting, discipleship, and the growing hunger for biblical truth. They discuss how social media and culture shape our thinking, why Christians can’t afford to outsource their faith, and what it looks like to raise the next generation with conviction and a strong biblical foundation.

Whether you’re looking to deepen your walk with Jesus, lead your family well, or better understand the cultural moment we’re living in, this episode offers practical encouragement and a challenge to live with greater intentionality, clarity, and confidence in Christ.

In this episode, two seasoned pastors open up about the realities of leadership. From carrying pressure and chasing growth to learning collaboration, building teams, and creating margin, they share how their philosophy of leadership has evolved over time.

They also talk about succession, raising up the next generation, avoiding burnout, and the delicate balance between staying in your lane and letting others lead. They unpack hard-earned lessons about control, identity, and why rescuing people can sometimes do more harm than good.

If you’re leading anything, whether it’s ministry, a team, or a family, this conversation will challenge how you think about success, influence, and long-term impact.

In this episode, we’re joined by pastor and author Aaron Graham for a conversation about why progressive Christianity can become a dangerous counterfeit in the church today. They unpack the growing need for discernment as cultural ideas increasingly reshape and challenge biblical truth.

They discuss how faith rarely falls apart overnight but often drifts over time through subtle compromises and why clarity, conviction, and a strong biblical worldview matter now more than ever. You’ll hear practical insight on navigating doubt, deconstruction, and cultural pressure while staying anchored in the authority of God’s Word.

In this episode, we sit down with Todd Pierce of Riding High Ministries for an honest conversation about identity, healing, and what it looks like to be loved by God as a Father.

Todd shares how God used horses to heal his own wounds and why true freedom isn't found in doing whatever you want, but in discovering who you were created to be.

In this conversation, we cover:

• Why being “fathered” by God changes everything
• Healing father wounds and breaking generational cycles
• The difference between freedom and just doing what you want
• Marriage and what it really means to love someone well
• How surrender leads to strength, purpose, and identity
