Imposter Syndrome and Parenting Regrets

Rick Reeves - Lead Pastor and an elder of Gospel Community Church in Eugene, Oregon. Rick planted the church in 2015–2016 with a strong conviction to bring a gospel-centered congregation to the area. A passionate preacher who has served as the primary teaching pastor for about 10 years, Reeves emphasizes that Jesus is the true hero of the gospel story.

In this episode, Rick Reeves joins us for a raw conversation on faith, fatherhood, and the "Proving Ground" of manhood. We strip away the misconceptions of Christianity to discuss the messy reality of the daily wrestle with sin and the relentless drive for approval.

From his childhood reputation as a "Holy Terror" to navigating a complex relationship with his "no-bullsh*t" father, Rick shares how a broken past became a mission field.
