    The Church Was Never Meant to Compete | True North Podcast Ep. 104

    What could happen if the Church stopped competing and started operating together? In Episode 104 of the True North Podcast, we continue the conversation from Episode 103 as Joseph shares the second half of a personal journal entry that he believes came through time spent listening to Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The central invitation is simple: Arise. The conversation explores what that could mean for the Church, our communities, our families, and our individual lives. Joseph, James, and Taylor discuss the unity they are seeing across Oklahoma City, the growing hunger for authentic faith, and what it could look like for churches, businesses, ministries, and individuals to stop operating from competition and begin collaborating for the Kingdom. They also talk about the role True North hopes to play in that movement. Not as the answer, but as a place where people can encounter God, ask questions, find community, and be connected with others who can help them take their next step. In this episode: • Why unity within the Church matters• Competition vs. collaboration in the Kingdom• What God may be doing across Oklahoma City• The growing intersection of faith and the marketplace• Why the next generation is hungry for something real• Creating margin to hear from God• Why True North prioritizes encounter over formulas• Removing distractions, even good ones• Spiritual warfare and taking responsibility for the places God has given us• The role of humility in breaking down division• Why we need each other to accomplish the mission• What it actually means to “arise”• How to respond when you feel God stirring something in you There is no one formula for awakening. For one person, it may mean creating margin. For another, it may mean letting something go. For someone else, it may begin with prayer, community, or simply saying yes to Jesus. True North does not have all the answers. Our desire is to help point people toward the One who does. If something in this conversation stirs you, ask God what it means for your story and what He is inviting you into next.

    Rise Up: It’s Time to Stop Living in Fear | True North Podcast Ep. 103

    What does it actually look like to hear God’s voice, walk intimately with Him, and live for His Kingdom instead of building your own empire? In Episode 103 of the True North Podcast, the guys unpack a word Joseph received after intentionally making margin to listen to God. What began as something personal became an invitation to the Church: rise up, awaken, make margin, and learn to faithfully follow the voice of God. Joseph shares how his own journey of hearing God began in 2019—and why it was messy, frustrating, and uncertain at first. Over six years, what once felt difficult became something he describes as necessary to his daily life. The conversation moves into the difference between Kingdom and empire. Our culture gives us obvious measurements for success: income, houses, cars, businesses, influence, and status. But what does God measure? Where is your heart? Where does your attention go? What comes out of you when life doesn’t go according to plan? They also unpack what it means to “rise up” when fear, anxiety, scarcity, busyness, self-reliance, and everyday problems try to take over. In this episode: • How Joseph learned to hear God’s voice• Why intimacy with God takes time• What to do when quiet time feels frustrating or unproductive• Why you don’t need to wait for another spiritual high• Learning to recognize God’s voice among all the other voices• Kingdom vs. empire• How fear and anxiety reveal where we’re placing our trust• What “rising up” actually looks like in everyday life• Moving from scarcity toward trust in God’s provision• Why the mundane moments may be where spiritual maturity actually happens• Choosing faith before you feel mature enough• The invitation for the Church to awaken and move You don’t have to wait for the next camp, conference, worship night, or mountaintop experience to encounter God. The invitation is available today. Make margin. Learn His voice. Follow where He leads.

    Jesus Wants to Heal the Places You’ve Buried | True North Podcast Ep. 102

    What if the reactions, anger, isolation, shame, or patterns showing up in your life are pointing toward places Jesus wants to heal? In Episode 102 of the True North Podcast, Joseph Lashwood, Lee Cantrell, and James unpack the healing stream of Jesus’ ministry and recap what happened at The Frontier. They explore what inner healing can look like, why revisiting the past is not the same as living in it, and how Jesus can bring restoration to wounds that were never fully tended. Through deeply personal stories, they discuss childhood wounds, isolation, pornography, shame, father wounds, false agreements, hearing the voice of God, and learning to invite Jesus into the places we would rather hide. This conversation also explores how men can walk alongside one another in healing through curiosity, grace-filled acceptance, compassion, and dependence on the Holy Spirit. You’ll hear about: • Why following Jesus doesn’t mean every part of your heart is already healed• How past wounds can influence present reactions• The false agreements we make in moments of pain• Why inner healing isn’t about living in the past• How to invite Jesus into painful memories• The importance of hearing God’s voice• How shame and isolation keep wounds hidden• Curiosity, compassion, and grace when entering another man’s story• Why healing cannot be rushed or forced• How Jesus restores identity, belonging, love, and freedom You don’t have to keep dragging every wound from your story behind you. Jesus is inviting you into restoration, freedom, and deeper intimacy with Him. If this conversation stirred something in your heart and you want someone to walk with you, reach out to True North.
