    Brian Owens on How to Keep Going When Life Gets Too Hard... | Heart To Mission

    Brian Owens was called to ministry at 14, then spent 14 years in the banking world watching every church door close and every business door open. He couldn't make sense of it until he landed at Upstate Church in 2009 and realized God had been building the exact skills the job would require. Then in August of 2021, after a hard bout with COVID and a run of medication that left his wife Sherry saying she knew her thoughts weren't true but couldn't stop them, Brian lost her to suicide. He walks Josh through that morning, what he told his four kids on the other side of the soccer field, the friend who showed up without asking a single question, and what he's learned since about grief in a public facing job, why every leader needs a counselor, and how a God who loves you is not always a safe one.

    Dustin Dozier on Why Pastors Are Losing the Battle for Attendance | Heart To Mission

    Dustin Dover didn't grow up in church. He was a skater punk in Acworth, Georgia, angry and picking fights, until a group of kids offered him a seat at lunch his freshman year and a lock in with free pizza turned into the gospel landing for the first time. Two years later his parents' marriage fell apart and his dad ended up in jail, and it was that same community that held him together. Now he's a teaching pastor at Upstate Church, leads connections across all ten campuses, and just wrote The Connected Church. He and Josh talk about why people will pay travel ball fees and bring their own chair for community but skip the one place built for it, the diagnostic questions every pastor should be asking, and where to start when you're wearing all the hats and don't know what's broken.

    Shama Mrema on Being Fired From Church and Finding his Calling | Heart To Mission

    Shama Mrema was born in Tanzania, raised in Alabama, and moved back to Africa at eleven when his parents planted a church. At eighteen his dad dropped him off in Greenville with a used Jetta, one suitcase, and a crisp $100 bill. Then he got the student pastor job he had pointed his whole life toward, and it lasted seven months. Shama tells Josh about the legal pad of questions that ended his ministry career, delivering pizza in the same town where former students opened the door and asked "Weren't you a pastor?", and what God did with the years after: a viral song about Chick-fil-A, a comedy career nobody planned, and a last conversation with his dad.
