    257. The Human Experience of Losing a Best Friend

    In 2020, I lost my best friend, Armani. It was brutal, sudden, tragic, and heartbreaking. I spent the first 3 years burying emotions, wrestling with grief, asking God tough questions, and living in a constant desperation for healing. God invited me to go to the same cabin, mountains, and river Armani spent his last days to seek healing and face the dragon of grief. What happened on that trip to Tellico Plains, Tennessee, will forever be with me and this story is one that will lead you closer to the cross and even closer to the Jesus who sits on the throne at the right hand of the Father in eternity. This book will be life-changing for many. If you want to support it and be a part of it launching to the world, you can back it up here: Me, Armani, & Jesus... The Human Experience of Losing a Best FriendThe final project will be out on Amazon and ilikebirdsministry.com

    256. He Walked Away From the Huge Church He Was Supposed to Inherit - with Micah Berteau

    What if the safest path isn't God's path?Pastor Micah Berteau had a thriving ministry, a clear future, and every reason to stay put, including his dad's expectations. Instead, he walked away from it all to plant a church from the ground up in Fort Worth, Texas. In this honest conversation, Micah shares the hidden realities of church planting, pastoral leadership, church hurt, criticism, faith, and trusting God when the outcome isn't guaranteed.You'll also hear:* Why he chose planting over inheriting a ministry* How to leave a church the right way* The truth about church hurt and betrayal* Why hardship often shapes your calling* Building a church with nothing but faith* The Thief on the cross taught us so much * Youtubers chose to end their baby's life because of Down syndrome, Zach and Micah unpack it unapologetically. Micah Berteau is the pastor of The House Church and is a husband and father of 4 boys!

    255. Has Joy Gone Missing From The Church? - with Michael Pasvar

    Has joy gone missing from the Church? Some Christians act like if you laugh too hard, the Holy Spirit leaves the room. But what if joy isn't the enemy of our faith—what if it's actually one of the greatest evidences of it? In this episode, I sit down with comedian Michael Pasvar for an honest conversation about Christian joy, church culture, comedy, faith, and why so many believers seem afraid to laugh. We talk about:• Why joy feels like it's disappearing from the modern Church• The difference between holiness and seriousness• Why comedy is rooted in truth• How laughter breaks down walls and opens hearts• Why humor can be a powerful tool for sharing the Gospel• Michael's new comedy special, Blended Feathers• Church culture, worship trends, and the tension many Christians feel today One of my favorite moments from this conversation is the idea that if joy were a person, we'd have to put her on a milk carton: "Missing: Joy. Last seen moving powerfully through the early church. Known for bringing life, freedom, laughter, and strength. If found, please return immediately. Things are not working well without her." Scripture tells us in Nehemiah 8:10 that "the joy of the Lord is your strength." If that's true, then maybe one of the enemy's greatest strategies isn't stealing our salvation—it's stealing our joy. 🎤 See Michael Pasvar's new comedy special here: Blended Feathers Book Zach Rippey to Speak or Perform Comedy here: ⁠https://ilikebirdsministry.com/comedybooking⁠ Work with Zach on a Speech: https://www.rippeywrites.com/contact How Zach reached 30 million people with his podcast and you can too!
