This week I talk with Jacob Casstevens (or he talks with me?) about the joys of marriage, being and dad, and discipleship.

It's a great time, I promise!

This week I sit down with Collide Church Summer Student Ministry Intern Jonah Pendergrass to talk about a wide variety of things, including his love for Student Ministry, Apologetics and Christian Heavy Metal.

I appreciate all Jonah did for our church this summer and his willingness to be on the podcast!

On this episode I sit down with Katie Pendry to talk about her love for design and how that has played into various projects she has been a part of, including an amazing recent renovation of Compassion Care Center in Yadkinville.

In this episode I sit down for a great conversation with Adam and Jesse Houston and Zach Hicks and we talk about sports, both real and fantasy, and their love for the arts, particularly their involvement with theater with the Yadkin Arts Council and their band The Fourth Wall.  

Enjoy!

On this episode I catch up with my good friend Rick Trivette to talk about some awesome concert memories, particularly seeing Switchfoot, the joys of coaching and the heart behind his great Children's Ministry at South Oak Ridge Baptist Church.

Enjoy!

I really enjoyed sitting down with Michael Scott (not the office guy) to talk about great sports memories and the power of friendships and the pain of loss and the power of memories and how much getting married and having kids changes your life, and all for the better!

We talked about the amazing TV show, Ted Lasso and the great writing of Jefferson Bethke as well, so check those things out!

I got the chance to sit down with Nick Poindexter, Teaching Pastor of Collide Church, and talk a little bit about the start of our church, and where we see God taking us, and the church in general as we come out of the pandemic.

Of course, we also talk about 90s music and trivia and the Tar Heels as well.

Enjoy!

This week I had the chance to sit down with Collide Church worship director and student director Samuel Stone, and to be honest we really just got caught up in talking about worship and music and worship music.

I think super highly of this guy and I know I need to have him back for a second episode because we just scratched the surface and didn't get to some topics and questions I wanted to cover.

One thing he said that stuck out to me is that as people worshipping/singing during a church service, it should be "like a ball game with a seat belt."

Here's the deal, we all know that people (ourselves included) get super (and maybe overly) excited at a ball game, but many times when it comes to getting excited about what God is doing, or who He is, there is no excitement to be found.  Now, it's clear that there are times to be quiet and times to be reverent, and we should always respect God (hence the seat belt), but all through the book of Psalms we are instructed to clap and to sing and to play instruments for God (hence the ball game).

So there's just a little taste of what is to come in this episode.

I got the pleasure of sitting down with Amy Rankin and Hannah Keaton to talk about our love for Courtney Elementary and some things we can do to help out Courtney and all of our local schools.

You may hear Hannah's kids or Amy have to get up and answer the phone, but this is real life.  :)

We also talk about the fact that the hype surrounding Ticonderoga pencils is indeed real, so buy some for your favorite teacher today!
