    Ancient Roots, Fresh Wind

    In this episode of Purpose Talk, John Stanko sits down with longtime friend Father Michael Pacella to explore a remarkable journey of faith, calling, and intellectual honesty. Father Pacella shares how his path moved from evangelical and charismatic ministry through rigorous academic study at Yale, Harvard, and Cambridge, ultimately leading him into the Charismatic Episcopal Church. The conversation highlights the cost and courage of following truth wherever it leads, the integration of mind and faith, and the value of ancient Christian roots animated by the present work of the Holy Spirit.

    From Consumers to Contributors

    In this episode of Purpose Talk, John Stanko and Gregg Hughes discuss the untapped ministry potential of social media and why the church can no longer afford to ignore it. John challenges believers to move from being consumers to producers, using everyday posts, prayers, and Scripture to encourage people and extend the church’s reach beyond Sunday services. The conversation reframes social media as a modern mission field—one that allows the church to be present, accessible, and influential 24/7 in people’s real lives.

    From Valor to Virtue

    In this episode of Purpose Talk, John Stanko sits down with longtime friend and collaborator Father Michael Pacella to discuss his journey from military service to chaplaincy and authorship. They explore the heart behind Pacella’s books 'From Valor to Virtue' and 'Bullet Proof Heart,' focusing on the moral, emotional, and spiritual challenges faced by people in uniform. Drawing from decades of military, academic, and pastoral experience, Father Michael shares why integrity, integration, and hope are essential for long-term resilience and life beyond service. Together, they reflect on the need for preventative moral and emotional care so service professionals can remain whole, grounded, and hopeful long after their careers end.

    Hidden Idols

    In this episode of Purpose Talk, John Stanko and Gregg Hughes examine the often-overlooked issue of idolatry and how it can quietly coexist alongside genuine faith. John challenges listeners to consider how good things—such as sports, money, work, family, politics, or image—can gradually take God’s rightful place in their trust, devotion, and energy. Drawing from Scripture and real-life examples, the conversation invites honest self-examination and a renewed commitment to place God first in every area of life.
