Conversations can carry life or death, and this one leans hard into life. We get practical and personal. A small parenting scene in a school car line becomes a masterclass in presence: put the phone down, listen to the child, honor the moment. That same lens reframes marriage, teams, and church life—words can wound or build, and listening can be a form of worship. We also name a modern trap: outsourcing growth to AI and convenience. Tools can refine your notes, but they cannot renew your mind. Idols are the voices we shape to never challenge us; community and Scripture are the voices that love us enough to do so. 

We connect these threads to seasonal wisdom: blessings come with burdens, and the prayer for the next year begins with subtraction. Ask God what to leave behind so you can step lighter into what’s next. Whether you lead a ministry, a team, or a home, the path forward looks the same—center your life on the Word, depend on the Spirit, and welcome people who will tell you the truth and stay by your side. If this conversation sparks something in you, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review so others can find it. What’s one thing you’re leaving behind to make room for growth?

What happens when a church treats vision like stewardship, not ownership? We invited our lead team—Pastors Mike and Stephanie Burnette with Dr. Tim Hager—to pull back the curtain on a year defined by increased anointing, movement, multiplication, and focused ministry to men. From testimonies of healing to a five-day overhaul of service times, we trace how prayerful clarity turns into bold action without losing the heart of discipleship.

The conversation gets practical and personal: the difference between second-chair critique and first-chair responsibility, the discipline of humble confidence, guarding your heart in ministry, and keeping family discipleship strong while the pace quickens.

Gratitude shouldn’t end when the dishes are done. We open the door to a richer way of living—treating gratitude as expressed worship that reshapes our homes, our teams, and our hearts. With Scripture at the center and stories that will stay with you, we trace a clear path from seasonal thankfulness to a daily, deliberate posture of praise.

If you need practical handles, we’ve got them: write short gratitude lists, pray them aloud, put your phone away to be fully with people, and curate a circle that nurtures a grateful posture. Discover why you can’t be critical and grateful at the same time, and how thanksgiving accelerates spiritual formation, softens pride, and strengthens families. This is an invitation to build a life God wants to dwell in—marked by praise, generosity, and honest testimony.

What happens when a table of wise women ask how to lead with both a soft heart and a steady hand? We dig into the tension between empathy and authority and find a faithful path that starts with love, listens well, and still speaks the truth that sets people free.

If you’re hungry for leadership that is warm, wise, and deeply grounded, this one will meet you where you are and call you higher. Subscribe, share with a friend who leads, and leave a review to tell us: where do you need more grace, and where do you need more truth?

Fear has a way of hijacking your plan, your timeline, and your peace. We pressed into a counterintuitive move that changes everything: when the pressure rises, worship goes first. Starting with 2 Chronicles 20, we follow King Jehoshaphat as he meets a real threat with a real response—seeking God, telling the truth about his fear, and choosing praise before a single outcome appears. That decision doesn’t numb reality; it reframes it. As the people worship, God speaks, details emerge, and the battle flips without Judah lifting a sword.

If you’re ready to stop fighting for victory and start fighting from it, this conversation will give you language, tools, and courage to stand firm. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a review with your favorite takeaway so more people can find the show.

What if legacy isn’t about titles or tenure, but about who becomes stronger because you were there? We sat down with Pastor Jessica Meriwether and Dr. Tim Hager to tackle the real work of building a legacy of faith—at home, at church, and in the spaces where career and calling collide. Starting with Paul’s charge to Timothy, we trace how truth gets entrusted across generations and why conviction beats compliance when raising kids and developing leaders.

What if the most powerful thing you do for your leadership and your worship is stop? We dive into a rich, scripture-driven conversation about rest that starts in Genesis 2—where God finishes His work and blesses a day—and winds through Psalm 127, John 15, Exodus 16, and Matthew 11. Along the way, we challenge the myths of hustle culture, name pride and fear for what they are, and rediscover rest as a gift the Father enjoys giving, not a luxury reserved for when life slows down.

With real stories, simple practices, and a few much-needed laughs, we chart a path toward “unforced rhythms of grace.” If you’re tired of feeling guilty for slowing down, or unsure what Sabbath looks like in your season, this conversation will help you trade striving for trust and find a rhythm you can keep.

If this encouraged you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a quick review so more people can discover a healthier pace built on God’s presence.

Trust isn’t rebuilt by force of will or a perfect apology tour; it’s rebuilt when we start where Isaiah did—seeing that God is still on the throne even when leaders fall. We open up about church hurt, disappointment, and the quiet anger many carry toward God, then chart a hopeful path forward built on clarity, boundaries, and honest community. Along the way, we break down the difference between honor, respect, and trust, and why confusing them keeps us stuck. You’ll learn the “pace of grace,” practical ways to reenter community after disappointment, and how accountability and safeguards protect both people and the mission. And we don’t dodge the hard stuff: we name real wounds, honor the complexity of trauma, and keep pointing back to the steady goodness of God.

By the end, you’ll have language to evaluate influence, tools to set healthy boundaries, and a way to begin rebuilding trust with God first so you can wisely trust people again. If you’re ready for healing that’s honest, patient, and rooted in Scripture, press play and walk with us.

We unpack the letter to Sardis in Revelation and ask hard questions about reputation versus reality, drift versus devotion, and why busyness can masquerade as spiritual health. You’ll hear how growth metrics can deceive, how hearts become calloused over time, and the simple, uncomfortable practices that actually bring a sleeping soul back to life.

Jesus gives Sardis a four-part path: remember what you received, remember what you heard, keep it, and repent. That becomes our blueprint for awakening—remember your own salvation, recover wonder, keep the Word, and embrace repentance as a daily turn toward life. We close with the stakes: a sleeping church can’t wake a sleeping world. Let’s be a people who stay teachable, confess quickly, choose gratitude, and burn hot for the One who walks among the lampstands.

Ever feel the tug-of-war between leading well at church and showing up well at home? We take that tension head-on, starting with 1 Timothy 3 and moving through real stories, practical tools, and the kind of honesty that helps you build rhythms instead of chasing “balance.” With Pastor Beau and Tiffany at the table, we look at why family is your first ministry, how character at home inevitably shapes leadership in public, and what it means to serve together so church becomes a shared joy, not an obligation.

If this resonates, share it with a friend who leads, subscribe for more thoughtful conversations, and leave a review to help others find the show. Your voice helps us grow this community of leaders who love their families and their churches well.
