The podcast exists to inspire and inform the church of today that Gen-Z and Millennial people are not just the church of the future but the church of now. Oftentimes when we tell young adults and kids that they are the church of the future it downplays the power that God gives them to live out their faith now. They have a purpose right now at this moment.

    Do you actually care the about the lost?

    Jesus didn’t build a fortress for the found. He formed a movement for the lost. It’s time for the Church to move again.

    Run your race | Don't compare, stay faithful

    Listen in to a sermon I gave recently for graduation Sunday. Typically when we graduate from something familiar to something unfamiliar we start to look around and do what everyone else it doing. But God didn't call you to run someone else's race. He called you to run yours.

    God doesn't hate you...

    We live in a culture where we've believed that God is always mad at us all the time. Yet we miss the fact that we are His children and made in HIs image. He delights in us.
