    How Anyone Can Talk About Jesus

    In this episode of Engaging Truth, Pastor Trey Sansom welcomes longtime friend and ministry partner Pastor Matt Peeples (Faith Oakville, St. Louis; founder of the Kairos Network) for a conversation that takes the pressure off everyday disciples. Drawing from Acts 11 and the church in Antioch, Matt shows how the Gospel has always advanced through ordinary, unnamed believers simply talking about Jesus as they went. Then he breaks down a practical, reproducible way to start spiritual conversations anywhere: Discovery Bible Study—three questions, Scripture as the curriculum, the Holy Spirit as the teacher, and you as the facilitator. Whether it’s in your backyard, at lunch, or on the sidelines of a soccer field, this episode will equip you to open the Bible, listen, and watch Jesus work in real time.

    Bringing Christ To A Hurting World

    In this episode of Engaging Truth, Pastor John Cain sits down with Pastor Nathan Misch of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Plainview, Texas, to explore the compassion of Jesus through the story of the woman at the well in John 4. Pastor Misch unpacks how Christ’s compassion is not merely emotion, but an active, self-giving response to human brokenness—one that holds truth and love together without compromise. In a world marked by anxiety, loneliness, and division, this conversation offers a timely call for Christians to reflect the compassion they’ve received in Jesus. With practical insights on overcoming pride, judgment, and fear, listeners are equipped to become “masks of God”—bringing Christ’s mercy into everyday encounters and pointing others to the forgiveness already won at the cross.

From moments of deep grief to everyday anxiety, this conversation points to a living hope that doesn’t fade with circumstances. Whether you’re celebrating Easter or just trying to make sense of life on an ordinary day, this episode invites you to rediscover the power of a risen Jesus who calls you by name, claims you in baptism, and walks with you through it all.

    Blessed To Be A Blessing

    Host John Cain sits down with Pastor Dan Schepmann of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Clear Lake, Texas—right near NASA—to explore a simple, life-shaping truth: God blesses His people so they can be a blessing. Drawing from Genesis 12, Pastor Schepmann unpacks the difference between the justified life (what Jesus has done for you) and the sanctified life (how Jesus now works through you), and he shares how Gloria Dei has grown into a “neighborhood church” that serves far beyond its walls. From mentoring younger pastors to leveraging church facilities for community impact, this conversation is a clear call to stop asking “What’s in it for me?” and start living for the Kingdom—trusting that the limitless God can multiply even our limited resources.
