    Unexpected Conversations - Willow Weston

    What if the people who bother you the most are exactly who God wants you to spend time with? Joel and Sara kick off their new Unexpected Conversations series with Willow Weston — founder of Collide ministry — who built something that brings together women from wildly different backgrounds, denominations, and life stories. This one's about getting out of your comfortable bubble, following Jesus into the places that make you squirm, and why being a fan of Jesus is not the same as following him.

  2. Your North Star - Writing Your Purpose Statement

    Your North Star - Writing Your Purpose Statement

    Twelve weeks in, and it all comes down to this: what are you actually here for? Joel and Sara close out the Purpose Driven Life series by writing a personal purpose statement — live, on air, no script. Using Rick Warren's five-question framework, they work through what it means to build a North Star that's bigger than your job title, survives the worst seasons of your life, and still works if you lose everything but who God made you to be. Fair warning: it gets surprisingly moving.

  3. The Best Story You're Not Sharing!

    The Best Story You're Not Sharing!

    Most of us have a story about God that we almost never tell. Not because we don't believe it — but because we're pretty sure it's not interesting enough, dramatic enough, or polished enough for anyone to care. Joel and Sara spend this penultimate episode of the Purpose Driven Life series making the case that your story matters, breaking down Rick Warren's four-part framework for figuring out what that story actually is, and being very honest about their own awkward attempts at sharing it. (Sara's first evangelism attempt involved a homeless man and a PB&J. It did not go well.)

    How Did You Learn To Serve? The KURT episode!

    What's actually driving you when you serve — love, or the need to be noticed? Joel and Sara sit down with their lead pastor Kurt Langstrat for an honest conversation about servant leadership: the slow work of getting your identity right, what it costs to leave room for interruptions, and how you can tell when your motivations have gone sideways. Spoiler: if you get mopey when no one says thank you, Kurt has some thoughts.

    You have a spiritual gift!

    You have a spiritual gift. That's not a suggestion — it's a design feature. But most of us either don't know what it is, don't think it counts, or have no idea what to do with it. Joel and Sara dig into four specific gifts — administration, prophecy, mercy, and teaching — and why the church genuinely suffers when you keep yours to yourself. Also: the potluck illustration that explains everything.

  6. No Shortcuts

    No Shortcuts

    You want to grow spiritually. Great. Here's the bad news: there are no shortcuts, it never really ends, and the most annoying people in your life are actually the curriculum. Joel and Sara get honest about what spiritual growth actually looks like — how you measure it, why it takes longer than you want it to, and what it means to just take the next right step when the whole picture feels overwhelming.

    How Do You Grow? With special guest Brannon Short

    What do you do when obedience leads you somewhere you didn't want to go — and then COVID hits? Brannon Shortt (lead pastor of Bayside Folsom and chaplain for the A's) joins Joel and Sara to talk about growing through the seasons you'd never choose: how desert moments strip idols you didn't know you were holding, why prayer gets honest when there's nothing left to hide behind, and what it actually means to "do it scared."

  8. Church Attendance For Dummies

    Church Attendance For Dummies

    Most of us have sat through a church service thinking, "What is this actually for?" — and then driven home without an answer. Joel and Sara get honest about the difference between showing up to church and actually belonging to one, what it looks like to be a contributing member instead of a consumer, and why you genuinely cannot grow in your faith alone. Even if you really want to try.
