    In "It’s the Great Pumpkin", Charlie Brown, what does Charlie Brown repeatedly get while trick-or-treating?

    Send us Fan Mail Real estate feels different than it did a year ago, but not everything you hear in the headlines matches what’s happening on the ground. Nicole Odom is back on the podcast to talk about what she’s seeing with buyers, sellers, negotiations, expectations, and the conversations real estate agents are having right now. We also get into life outside of real estate, raising a family, military life, and squeeze in a little Halloween trivia because apparently serious market conversations pair well with candy corn. No doom and gloom. No “it’s always a great time to buy.” Just an honest conversation about what has changed, what hasn’t, and what buyers and sellers should actually be paying attention to.

    Why We Go: The Real Purpose of Mission Trips with Andrew Hill

    Send us Fan Mail Why do we go on mission trips? Is it really about the work we accomplish, the people we serve, or could the biggest transformation happen in the people who make the trip? In this episode, I sit down with Andrew Hill from Southside Church, where he helps lead mission trips, small groups, and other ministries. We dig into the purpose behind mission trips, why churches continue to invest in them, who actually benefits, and what happens when we step outside our normal routines to serve others. We also talk about the relationships that are built, the perspective that comes from seeing life through someone else’s eyes, and why serving on a mission trip can have an impact that lasts long after everyone comes home. Whether you’ve been on ten mission trips or you’re wondering why anyone would spend their vacation serving somewhere else, this conversation explores what it really means to go, serve, connect, and come back changed.

    More Than a Comeback: Jake Smerka on Amputation, Identity, and Finding His Way Back

    Send us Fan Mail After a devastating car accident led to the amputation of his lower leg, Jake Smerka faced a recovery that demanded far more than physical strength. Jake joins the Closing Time Podcast to share the unfiltered reality of rebuilding his life, from the painful and unglamorous days of recovery to the anger, grief, guilt, and isolation that often go unseen. He opens up about the unwavering support of his wife, Paris, the challenge of learning to accept help, and the moment he began to feel like himself again. Jake also takes us inside his experience with the Adaptive Training Foundation, where intense training, community, and identity work helped him rediscover what his body and mind were capable of. Now pursuing adaptive sports, a training certification, and new ways to serve others, Jake is building something larger than a comeback. This conversation is not simply about “staying positive.” It is about losing part of yourself, letting others walk beside you, and discovering that life after trauma can still be competitive, meaningful, and fully your own.

    Part 2. Loving Without Fixing: Chris Patton on Parenting Adult Children

    Send us Fan Mail Loving Without Fixing: Chris Patton on Adult Children, Grace, and Who Pastors the Pastor In part two of my conversation with Chris Patton, senior pastor of Southside Church, we explore what happens when parenting enters a season the church does not always talk about. The church offers plenty of guidance for raising children, but what happens when those children become adults and begin making decisions we would not choose for them? Chris and I discuss how parents can remain loving, supportive, and present without trying to control or continually change their adult children. We also examine why love can so easily become an effort to fix someone. What does it look like to maintain a meaningful relationship with a child, family member, or friend whose beliefs, lifestyle, or choices differ from our own? And what does it look like when the church handles those relationships with genuine grace rather than judgment? Finally, we turn the conversation toward Chris himself. Pastors are often contacted during the most painful and desperate moments of people’s lives. They hear the difficult stories, carry the emotional weight, and are frequently expected to have answers that no human being could possibly have. So who encourages the pastor? Who listens when the pastor is hurting? Who fills his bucket when so much of his life is spent pouring into everyone else? In this episode: Parenting after children become adultsLoving someone without trying to control themWhy love often turns into an attempt to change peopleStaying connected when someone chooses a different pathWhat grace looks like in real relationshipsWhat the church gets right and wrong about loving peopleThe emotional weight carried by pastorsWho pastors, encourages, and supports the pastorThis is part two of my conversation with Chris Patton.

    For the Southside: Chris Patton talks Southside churching and being known for what we are FOR.

    Send us Fan Mail Known for What We’re For: Chris Patton on the Mission of Southside Church In part one of my conversation with Chris Patton, senior pastor of Southside Church, we explore the experiences that first led him into ministry and the path that eventually brought him to Southside. Chris explains Southside’s unique leadership structure, including how the local church operates and how its relationship with Andy Stanley and North Point Ministries works. We also spend time discussing the mission of Southside Church and the idea that Christians should be known more for what they are for than for what they are against. Chris shares what that philosophy looks like in practice and how the church hopes to serve and influence the surrounding community. Finally, we discuss one of the simplest but most important messages the church often fails to communicate clearly, especially to people who are skeptical of Christianity, disconnected from church, or unsure where they belong. In this episode: How Chris Patton got his start in ministryHow Southside Church’s leadership structure worksThe relationship between Southside and North Point MinistriesSouthside’s mission and directionBeing known for what the church supports rather than opposesWhat the church often fails to communicateCreating a church where people feel welcomed, valued, and understoodThis is part one of a two-part conversation with Chris Patton.
