    Being Someone I'm Not -- Comparison

    It’s easy to preach about joy, but it’s much harder to live it when the world constantly tells you that you aren’t enough. In this candid conversation, Pastor Craig and Pastor Marty peel back the curtain on their own lives—sharing the personal struggles they’ve faced even while leading a church. They move past the Sunday morning clichés to discuss the brutality of comparison and how it wages war on our personal identity.

    In this episode, Pastor Craig sits down with Luke Yetter the morning after Luke served as a guest speaker at The Bridge. Luke shares more of the story behind his incredible journey—rising from financial poverty to early retirement at just 34 years old. But what seemed like the ultimate success quickly revealed a deeper struggle: relational poverty. Luke opens up about the unexpected emptiness he experienced and how, in that broken place, he encountered God in a powerful and life-changing way. Now Luke is now on mission to help people grow in loving both God and others.

    Becoming a 201 Church

    Season 2 kicks off with Pastor Craig and Pastor Marty sitting down for one of the most honest, hopeful conversations we’ve had yet. From fresh snowfall and fresh starts to rededication moments (and even a nose-job story), this episode sets the tone for a new year of depth, substance, and expectancy. Together, they look back at “2025 Wrapped” and dream toward 2026, asking what it really means for our church to grow from “101 to 201.” They unpack why many church plants stall out, what it looks like to cultivate true vocational calling, and how to move beyond simply offering “relevant messages” into something more—something authentic, Spirit-led, and rooted. Pastor Craig and Pastor Marty dive into the tension of being “deep and wide,” exploring a church culture that is both word and spirit… mystic and liturgy… sacrament and supernatural. They talk churn, comfort, disruption, and the kind of significance that doesn’t always look like “taking hills.” Let’s become a 201 church together.
