Dave sits down with Tony Meyer, an associate pastor at LifePointe Church in Ames, Iowa. The door flings wide open on this episode as Tony shares his story of running away from God, finding a life rampant with wild living and addiction to drugs. The perseverance of his family's prayers is abundantly clear in his story. Dave and Tony find their way into elements of Tony's story that emphasizes the delight Father God has for His children, the pitfalls of finding your identity in your work, and ultimately what radical obedience to the Lord looks like.
Tony serves as a pastor at LifePointe Church, bringing pastoral leadership to their discipleship culture and the development of leaders. Tony and his wife, Kayla, have three children. Prior to that, Tony pioneered Chi Alpha at the University of Iowa.

ABOUT this podcast:
All Christians worship in a particular stream of Christianity. But no single movement carries it all. Dave Olson, Heartland Church senior leader, firmly believes this. Fell into drugs, became homeless, then God saved and healed him. He wants to give away what he's learned. He sits down with all kinds of people, especially Christian leaders making an impact locally and globally. Here to challenge those who think the gifts of the Spirit are for today, by helping them root it in the Bible. And challenge the one who isn't so sure the gifts are for today but loves the Word and is cautiously open.
