    Episode 3: How Do We Press Past Our Fears of Sharing the Gospel? Ft. Guest: Pastor Brad Cooper

    Do you ever struggle or feel discouraged when it comes to sharing your faith? As Christians, we know we are called to communicate the gospel, but when it comes to evangelism, so many say they just don’t know where to start. Join Pastor D.J. Horton and Pastor Brad Cooper, the lead pastor of Culture and Direction at New Spring Church, for a conversation on how to join with others in the work the Holy Spirit is already doing in the lives around us. Learn about leveraging your life right where you are - as a teacher, a coach, a plumber, a grandmother - as you let the pressure fall off and His light shine forth. Because people don’t need to see perfection, they need to see the reality of Jesus in our lives.

    Episode 2: Why Should Christians Care About Exercise? Ft. Guest: David Mathis

    Christians committed to growing in Christ have non-negotiables in their lives, things like spending time in God’s Word, praying, and being an active part of a local church. But what about exercise? Does it matter how we care for our bodies? Join Pastor D.J. Horton and David Mathis, executive editor of Desiring God and author of A Little Theology of Exercise, for an encouraging and motivating conversation about how we treat our bodies and how deeply it impacts our spiritual lives. The world will tell you to exercise to be attractive, get a six-pack, and avoid any sign of aging, but we’ve got to find a better “why” for stewarding our bodies well.

    Episode 1: How Do We Encourage Young Women Today in Issues of Identity? Ft. Guest: Samantha Arp

    There is a worldwide war on girls and their identity. The lies and darkness are coming at them at a speed and scale past generations didn’t face, like our young girls do now, through things like social media. That’s why D.J. invited Samantha Arp, the Girls’ Ministry and Curriculum Coordinator at Church at The Mill, to have a conversation about how we all - moms, dads, aunts, uncles, coaches, teachers, and pastors - can best help the young women in our lives know and grow in who they are in Christ. Listen in as Sam shares, with wisdom and sound theology, how we can build up this next generation of believers, not on shallow things, but to become women who hold unwaveringly to the Word and ways of God. Because we aren’t just raising women. We’re releasing warriors.

    Leadership Episode 10: Stewardship is Standard Practice Ft. Guest: Pastor Ken Fisher

    Most Christian leaders don't set out to misuse the money and resources God has entrusted to them, yet we still find poor stewardship happening among phenomenal, godly people. What needs to change, and why does it matter? Join Dr. D.J. Horton and his church's Executive Pastor, Ken Fisher, for a conversation on becoming faithful stewards. They'll discuss two of the biggest enemies of being good stewards, as well as some of the most common mistakes even well-meaning leaders make when it comes to stewardship.

    Leadership Episode 9: Ideas Are Welcome Ft. Guest: Pastor Jason Williamson

    As leaders, we can fall into the trap of thinking we have to be the ones with all the ideas, but that's simply not true. Our teams need to know that not only is bringing fresh, innovative ideas welcomed, but it’s also needed. Join Dr. D.J. Horton and guest Pastor Jason Williamson, founder of the Through Our Eyes Project, for a conversation on why we need the ideas of others and how we can create an atmosphere where people feel encouraged to think creatively.

    Leadership Episode 8: Honesty is a Given and Gossip Doesn’t Exist Ft. Guest: Pastor Asheton Amerson

    Nothing can create a toxic work or ministry environment quite like dishonesty and gossip. Ministry is already emotionally demanding enough. So, why would we want to waste emotional energy by fostering unhealthy relationships where everyone is venting and talking about one another instead of resolving issues with each other? Join Dr. D.J. Horton and Pastor Asheton Amerson for a conversation on demanding honesty from ourselves first and being a part of killing gossip. How seriously we wage war on gossip will directly impact how much unity we experience in the places where we lead.

    Leadership Episode 7: Unity is Everything Ft. Guest: Lawrence Kind

Join Dr. D.J. Horton and his guest, Lawrence Kind, for a conversation where they define unity - because it's not uniformity or everyone always agrees - and discuss what it takes to be unified.
