Formed for Mission: Storms (How God Uses Storms to Reveal and Strengthen Your Faith to Live SENT)

In this episode, we explore how God uses storms not simply to disrupt our lives, but to reveal the true foundations of our faith. You’ll discover how trials often expose what we trust most—and how God can use those moments to deepen our dependence on Christ. If you’ve ever walked through fear, anxiety, doubt, or spiritual weakness, this episode will encourage you to rebuild what was exposed and let the storm strengthen your faith rather than destroy it. 🔗 Show Notes 📘 Buy the Book 📨 Newsletter 🎥 YouTube Channel

Interview: Tim Moroz (The Death of a Dream, Healing from Ministry Burnout, Church Planting in Difficult Cities, and Building a Sustainable Life Rhythm)

In this episode, I sit down with Tim Moroz to talk about church planting in a difficult, post-Christian city, the slow grind of ministry, and the unexpected weight of burnout. Tim shares honestly about the “death of a dream,” the toll it took on his soul, and the long, intentional journey of healing and rediscovering his calling. If you’ve ever felt discouraged, stretched too thin, or questioned whether it’s all worth it, this conversation will remind you that God is still writing your story, and He doesn’t waste a thing. 🔗 Show Notes 📘 Buy the Book 📨 Newsletter 🎥 YouTube Channel

Interview: James Hobson, Hill City Church (How Hospitality Transforms Cities, Radical Generosity, Loving Where You Live)

I sit down with longtime friend and pastor James Hobson of Hill City Church in Lynchburg to trace his journey from ministry training days to planting a diverse, urban church in his hometown. James shares powerful stories—like a life-changing encounter with a man named “Low Key”—that reveal how radical hospitality and everyday generosity can quietly transform a city. Together, we unpack the tension of leading a multi-ethnic, politically and socially diverse church, and why choosing to “not just point, but walk with people” may be one of the most countercultural ways to follow Jesus today. 🔗 Show Notes 📘 Buy the Book 📨 Newsletter 🎥 YouTube Channel
