Life Between Sundays

In this episode, I sit down with two of my favorite people, my mom and dad. We reflect on faith, family, and what it looks like to love people well in every season of life. The good ones, the hard ones, and the ones where you're not quite sure what God is doing. We talk about celebrating the wins, walking through loss, and showing compassion when someone feels stuck or unsure of where to turn. No matter where you find yourself, I hope this episode reminds you that God's love meets you right in the middle of your everyday life, especially in the life between Sundays. I hope you enjoy this episode.

In this episode, we sit down with Noah Herrin - author, speaker and pastor of Way Church in Nashville. Noah's star is quickly rising, but what really stands out is his commitment to being authentic and saying "no" to things that pull him away from what God's called him to do. We talk about being a Godly man, what it looks like to choose the right partner in life, and Noah drops some incredible wisdom when it comes to dating.

I'm so pumped about today's episode because I got to interview a guy I only know through his Instagram account: Ethan Benard. Ethan used to weigh over 600 pounds and he shares the ups and downs of his incredible weight-loss journey. He shares the challenges of maintaining motivation, the mental struggles he has when he puts in the work and doesn't see progress and the importance of having a strong "why" to keep going on the tough days. I don't know what change you are trying to make….relationship, health, career. Whatever it is, Ethan will inspire you to keep the faith and put one foot in front of the other.

In this episode, Emily and I are kicking off 2026 talking about fresh starts. Why we love them, why they matter, and why they don't always go the way we hope. There's something about a new year that invites us to pause, reflect, and ask what kind of people we actually want to become. I'm sharing 8 books you should read in 2026 - not as a checklist, but as tools that can help shape your thinking, your faith, and the direction of your life. Even one or two of these could make a real difference. If you're stepping into this year with hope, questions, or a desire to grow, I hope this episode will encourage you.

In this episode, I sit down with J.D. Greear, pastor of The Summit Church in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina. Under J.D.'s leadership, The Summit has grown from a church of about 300 people to a movement of over 12,000. They have a bold vision to plant 1,000 churches by the year 2050. Woah!! But what I love about this conversation is that it's not about numbers. It's about leadership in real life. We talk about the complexities and weight of leadership, how to find balance when everything feels overwhelming, and what it looks like to lead faithfully in a divided world without becoming cynical or jaded. If you're leading people, carrying responsibility, or just trying to stay hopeful and healthy in the middle of it all, I think this conversation will really encourage you.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Shawn Johnson. He is the lead pastor of Red Rocks Church, an author, and someone God has used to impact thousands. And he is the coolest! Shawn shares openly about being diagnosed with Parkinson's, the battle with depression that followed, and what it looks like to keep getting back up when life knocks you down. We talk about choosing joy on purpose, why fun actually matters in your faith, and the hope that will hold steady even on the hardest days. If you've ever felt like giving up, or you're trying to keep going when things feel heavier than you expected, Shawn's story will speak straight to your soul. It's honest. It's encouraging. And it's a reminder that God does some of His best work in the fire.

In this episode, I sit down with Brittany (Thune) Lindberg. An incredibly gifted singer-songwriter who also happens to be the daughter of the current U.S. Senate Majority Leader. We talk about the good and hard parts of growing up in the political spotlight. She also shares honestly about learning to live in the world but not be of it, surrounding yourself with people who think differently than you, and finding her own identity and calling as an artist. I also have to mention that Brittany and her husband Luke are dear friends of my wife and I's. If you're trying to stay true to who God made you to be in a world full of expectations, this conversation will encourage you.

This week, I got to sit down with Masey McLain. She's an actress, screenwriter, and producer who's doing some seriously meaningful work. Whether she's on set, writing, or speaking, Masey is passionate about telling stories that matter. One of the things I admire most about her is her conviction. She's said "no" to a lot of opportunities in Hollywood because they didn't line up with who she is or what she feels called to. That kind of integrity is rare. We also talk about her new movie, Soul on Fire, the true story of John O'Leary. And what I love about it is this: it's not a victim story. It's a choosing-hope story. A choosing-life story. If you've ever wondered how to chase a dream without losing yourself, or how to stay faithful in a place where faith isn't exactly the norm, you're going to love this one.

In this episode, we talk honestly about something so many of us feel but almost never say out loud: loneliness. It's crazy how life can look so full from the outside… so many people, so much activity… and yet on the inside, we feel completely empty. We've gotten really good at giving the illusion that everything's great, even when it's not. But that gap between what we show and what's actually real? It's exhausting! And it's taking a toll on so many of us. Loneliness can affect us mentally, spiritually, and even physically. But hear this: God never intended for you to walk through life by yourself. From the very beginning, He hardwired us for close friendships. Deep, honest, life-giving friendships. In this conversation, we talk about how to move past the surface, how to admit when we're lonely, and how to start pursuing the kind of real connection our souls are craving. 21 MUST FOLLOWS: Pastors Noah Herrin - @noahherrin Megan Fate Marshman - @meganfate Jonathon Pokluda - @jpokluda World Events Carlos Whittaker - @loswhit Sharon McMahon - @sharonsaysso Rich Villodas - @richvillodas Sharon Hodde Miller - @sharonhmiller Therapy/Knowing Yourself Jason VanRuler - @jason.vanruler Mike Foster - @mikefoster2000 Carl Lentz - @carllentz Goals and Outlook Carey Nieuwhof - @careynieuwhof Jon Acuff - @jonacuff Jon Gordon - @jongordon11 Ethan Bernard - @ethanbenard Nonprofits I love God behind bars - @godbehindbars IJM - @ijm Convoy of Hope - @convoyofhope Joy Jimmy Darts - @jimmydarts Cam Bynum - @cambeezy_24 Gabe Dannenbring - @gabedannenbring Style/Fashion Joe Burrow - @joeyb_9 Thanks to our amazing partners on this episode: International Justice Mission is a global nonprofit working to end slavery and violence around the world, taking special care of survivors from the moment they're rescued all the way through their healing and restoration.

Leadership, especially in ministry, can be lonely. In this conversation, I got to sit down in person with pastor, bestselling author, and leadership expert, Carey Nieuwhof. We were surrounded by a room full of pastors and ministry leaders to talk about what it really looks like to lead well without losing your soul. We talk about the difference between real friendships and deal friendships, how to spot false intimacy, and why real connection matters more than ever. At the end, you'll also hear some honest questions from the room. The kind every leader wrestles with but rarely says out loud. It's a real, hope-filled conversation for anyone who leads, loves the church, or just wants to follow Jesus well between your Sundays.
