Steve Bang Lee from Mariners Church joins host Adam Flynt to explore how much of human history was shaped by awe and wonder—and why so many people today feel restless, as if something is missing. They discuss how humanity is often “haunted by transcendence,” searching for escape or meaning, and why church planters must know their communities well enough to perceive that ache, pray for divine intervention, and paint a better story rooted in the gospel. The conversation also reflects on how losing awe in God leads us to place it elsewhere, and why prayerful dependence on the Holy Spirit is essential for restoring true wonder.

Acts 29 President Brian Howard joins Adam Flynt for a network-wide update on where God is leading Acts 29 in this pivotal season. They unpack the NEXT initiative—a call to step into the widespread spiritual enthusiasm and to participate in the mission of making disciples, with a bold vision to plant 200 churches and raise $6 million over the next three years. The conversation also explores practical ways churches and individuals can grow in generosity and deepen partnership through shared mission, including the life-giving impact of building relationships at gatherings like the upcoming Pastors and Wives Retreat this June. Whether you’re new to Acts 29 or actively engaged in the network, this episode invites you into the broader conversation about where we are and how God may be calling us forward together.

Moments of spiritual renewal have marked church history in powerful ways. Adam Flynt leads a timely conversation with Matt Chandler and Jamin Roller, asking how the church should respond when God seems to be stirring again. Reflecting on historic movements of the Spirit, they discuss the signs of renewed curiosity, repentance, and hunger for Jesus emerging across college campuses, in public conversations, and within local churches. The question isn’t whether something is happening, but whether we will simply observe it or step faithfully into it. Together, they call pastors and church planters to steward this moment with humility and obedience, asking the question that shapes it all: Is Jesus truly our greatest treasure?

Guest host Scott Zeller is joined by Adam Ramsey and Dwight Bernier for a thoughtful conversation on church-to-church partnerships and why they matter for the global vision of the church. They explore how the healthiest partnerships don’t start with strategy, but with genuine curiosity that grows into intentional friendship. Along the way, they touch on the unique challenges of ministry in Canada (including a lighthearted nod to polar bears) and give three truths that should not be underestimated. Overall, this episode reminds us that Acts 29 is more than an organization—it’s a network of churches on mission together.

What does it look like when gospel doctrine shapes not just what we believe, but how we live together as a church? TJ Tims and Sam Allberry from Immanuel Nashville help us answer that question. Together, they unpack how right belief leads to right culture—one marked by honesty, grace, and a shared immersion in the gospel from the pastor down. They also talk candidly about the weariness that comes from faithful ministry and how being tired from doing the right things can actually be a privilege

A change in theological conviction can unravel and rebuild a pastor’s ministry at the same time. Kyllum Lewis from Life Centre Church in Australia shares his story—from charismatic roots and leading his parents’ church to embracing new convictions that reshaped how he leads and loves his people.

Kyllum opens up about the emotional and spiritual weight of pastoring, his experience with anxiety and panic attacks, and how the Psalms reminded him that our struggles are not our identity. He also reflects on why outside counsel is essential in challenging seasons and the warning signs church planters should pay attention to.

Through it all, Kyllum brings us back to one steady truth: God’s grace really is that good.

In this episode, the Church Planting Wives team—Jeanine Martínez de Urrea, Jaye Bice, and Sara Davis—come together from across the U.S. and Latin America to talk about the joys and challenges of being married to a church planter. They share what they love most about this unique calling, why it’s vital for Acts 29 to invest in church planters’ wives, and offer wisdom for women walking this same journey. You’ll also get a sneak peek at what’s coming next for Acts 29’s Church Planting Wives ministry.

Acts 29 President Brian Howard joins Dr. Adam Flint to discuss the current landscape of church planting and the remarkable momentum God is stirring across the world. Together they talk about how God is stirring a renewed hunger for the gospel around the world, the growth of the Acts 29 pipeline, and the network’s vision to plant 200 new churches in the next three years. Brian also shares how both churches and individuals—inside and outside the network—can join in the mission of planting healthy, multiplying churches worldwide.

In this episode, Adam sits down with Pastor One Mokgatle to discuss pastoral transitions, first Instagram posts & church planting in Africa.
