    Special Guest Seth Tomboli | Brand New Podcast

    Pastor Shannon O'Dell sits down with Seth Tomboli, campus pastor at New Life Church in Fayetteville, for a wide-ranging conversation about planting, measuring ministry, and staying spiritually healthy while leading. They get into the phone call that put a Bentonville campus on the table, why the metrics that matter aren't the ones you'd expect (kids check-ins and dumpster size), and how Northwest Arkansas has become a mission field that doesn't require a passport. The back half goes personal: the father wound behind insecurity in leadership, comparison and competition among pastors, whether sabbaticals have become an escape instead of a tool, and what actually restores a leader. Plus honest takes on social media, AI in sermon prep, and building a life your closest people respect.

    How To Vacation, 12 Week Paternity’s & The World Cup

    The Brand New Podcast goes international. Shannon O'Dell calls in from Tulum for the show's first overseas episode, and it turns into a wide-ranging conversation about what it actually means to be a man: fatherhood, paternity leave, providing and protecting, and finding a rhythm of rest. Along the way the crew gets into the World Cup and the wave of American pride sweeping social media, why Philly's biggest attraction is a movie statue, Idaho's new firing-squad law, the Iran ceasefire, and the peptide craze.

    America turns 250, and Pastor Shannon O'Dell is fired up about it. In this wide-ranging episode the crew works through some of the biggest questions in the church right now — women in ministry and the SBC vote, why Shannon says Mormonism isn't Christian, and whether baptism actually saves you — before turning to the heritage behind the Star-Spangled Banner, election integrity, the Iran situation, and America's first trillionaire. It's a long, honest, no-script conversation. Grab a coffee and settle in.

    Pride Month, Pet Peeves & The Pearl of Great Price | Brand New Podcast

    It's a rambling, no-script kind of episode — and that's the point. Pastor Shannon O'Dell and the team cover everything from a record-breaking Sunday at Brand New Church to the "healthy" snack that secretly wrecked Shannon's diet, before digging into the big one: a full breakdown of Mormon theology and whether the LDS church is actually Christian. Along the way they get into how a church really grows in the age of AI, the Mark Driscoll church-split saga, election integrity and the SAVE Act, a viral story about "authenticity gone wrong," and a whole lot of pet peeves.
