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.

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!

We talk about choosing joy on purpose, why fun actua...

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 w...

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 re...

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 dea...

In this episode, I sit down with Christ-follower, author, pastor, and teacher, Sharon Hodde Miller, to talk about what it looks like to find real freedom. Not the kind the world talks about, but the kind that comes when we stop trying to control everything and let God be in charge.

We talk about everything from how to respond to the next big news story, to how to tell the difference between the Holy Spirit...

Today is part 4 of our marriage series and we're wrapping things up with an incredible couple: Justin & Trisha Davis.

Their story? It's real. It's raw. In 2002 after planting their first church, Justin had an affair with a staff member (who was also Trisha's best friend). They walked through four years of deep pain, grief, counseling and by God's grace… restoration.

Here's the thing… not every...

We're back with another "Ask Adam Anything" episode and today's topic is something culture often overlooks: rest. While busyness is celebrated and productivity is praised, Emily and I talk about how true renewal comes when we step back and embrace rhythms of rest.

On the flip side, many people think they're overworked and burned out - when it turns out they might just be bored! Work is a gift from God and ...

In today's episode, Emily and I dive into the importance of living a magnetic life - one that attracts others to us (and ultimately to Jesus). 

This can be especially difficult when so many Christians are perceived as judgmental and hypocritical (especially because of what we say and post online) which often repels people from wanting to know Jesus or having anything to do with the Church. OUCH!
