An Unedited Session: The Gospel According to Ted Cruz Pt. 2

Episode Description:In this thought-provoking episode of Unedited Sessions, Caleb Breedlove sits down with Joshua Yochim—a friend, church planter, and fellow voice at Ekklesia Tulsa—to explore the intersection of politics, eschatology, and public theology in the modern American church. Prompted by a viral clip of Senator Ted Cruz using Scripture to defend unwavering support for the State of Israel, Caleb and Joshua dive deep into the theological implications of Christian Zionism, dispensational assumptions, and the prophetic identity of the Church in the nations. Together, they examine how Scripture is being wielded in political rhetoric and what it reveals about our collective understanding of the Gospel. This conversation is not scripted. This is our perspective — offered humbly, thoughtfully, and carefully. Our opinions are not infallible. They are shaped by Scripture, life experience, study, prayer, and honest wrestling — and they are subject to further refinement as we continue to learn and grow. So let’s have a deeply honest conversation.

An Unedited Session: An Appeal for Weaker Leaders

In this open and heartfelt episode, I process and make an appeal on behalf of the weary and imperfect leaders quietly striving to be faithful. Those who may feel the crushing weight of impossible expectations. We explore the subtle but suffocating culture of Christian professionalism — where pastors and ministers are expected to be flawless, emotionally invincible, and endlessly productive. But what if weakness wasn’t disqualifying? What if our imperfections were invitations to deeper mercy, not hidden shame? This is a call to tear down the myth of perfection and replace it with something more honest, more Christlike — a community where leaders can bleed a little without fear, and where grace isn’t just preached but practiced. It’s time to create environments where everyone, from the pulpit to the pew, has room to grow. Get full access to fragments. at calebbreedlove.substack.com/subscribe

An Unedited Session about Building Community and Creating Culture

Sitting with a bunch of young pioneers and their loud, beautiful family, we had a candid conversation about building community, creating culture, longing for something authentic and vulnerable—and of course, coffee. This third episode of Unedited Sessions is all about what it really takes to cultivate something lasting. We talk about the slow work of forming culture, the messy beauty of real community, and the challenge of choosing depth over hype. These aren’t polished answers or perfect models—just lived experience, honest questions, and a desire to see something holy take root in everyday spaces. If you're dreaming about starting something, fighting for connection, or learning how to lead with your whole heart, this one’s for you. Listen in, take what resonates, and let it stir your own vision for what community can become. Get full access to fragments. at calebbreedlove.substack.com/subscribe

An Unedited Session - Let's Take Our First Walk Together

If you’ve been following along with Fragments, I shared in An Honest Confession what it has meant for me to follow Jesus with my whole heart, even when parts of me feel anxious, distant, or unsure. In this episode, I open up about my own journey with anxiety, depression, even addiction—and how it has collided with, challenged, and ultimately deepened my walk with God. I explore questions like: * What does anxiety actually look like in my spiritual life? * How do I hold space for the tension between trusting God and feeling overwhelmed at the same time? * What lies have I believed in anxious moments—and how has God gently confronted them? * And how has therapy helped me walk in healing—not just spiritually, but emotionally and mentally too? Join me on this walk for an open and honest conversation about anxiety, disassociation, and the God who revives us in the places we thought were numb. This one’s personal. But maybe your story touches some of these places too. My hope is that you’ll find language for your own wrestlings, and maybe even a little courage to keep going. Let’s keep choosing honesty over hiding. Also, I couldn’t get my shoelace to tied properly…don’t judge me. Get full access to fragments. at calebbreedlove.substack.com/subscribe

An Unedited Session w/Janine and Marcel

So the story goes... We came to the Netherlands on a whim of the Spirit—just a few open days, a hunger to pray, and a desire to see what God might be doing here and in Switzerland. The plan was to spend a short time in the Netherlands and head to Switzerland for the majority of our trip. But as our time in The Hague was winding down, we felt a pause in the Spirit—an invitation to linger a little longer. So we prayed a simple prayer: “Lord, if You give us the connection we’re supposed to make, and a place to rest, we’ll stay.” Not even thirty minutes later, my friend Meka messaged me about some friends of hers in Arnhem. They had already heard about us, felt stirred to connect, and even opened their home to us. That next day, we were still in The Hague and unsure how to make the trip—until they told us they just happened to be in The Hague at that very moment. They offered to drive us back with them. What followed was one of those sacred, unexpected gifts: beautiful hospitality, deep spiritual conversation, and the slow formation of friendship. Their home was full of kindness, honesty, and a real love for Jesus. Join us for breakfast in this episode which captures faith-filled conversations about family, hearing God’s voice, and what it means to trust Him in the in-between.
