In this powerful episode, we share the heart and vision behind our decision to plant a church in the rapidly growing city of Kyle, Texas. This has been a long time coming—what began as a seed years ago is now taking root.
My wife has felt ready for this step for quite some time, while I wrestled with hesitation and uncertainty. But as our city expands and the need for a Kingdom-focused community becomes more clear, God has opened my eyes to what He’s been preparing us for all along.
We dive into the process of discerning this calling, the journey of preparation we've walked through, and how the group of leaders surrounding us right now has brought both clarity and confidence to move forward. You'll hear how mentorship, timing, and the right environment have helped shape our vision.
We also walk through the timeline of our church plant launch—from vision to implementation—as we prepare to step into this new chapter in early 2026.
If you’ve ever wondered what goes into planting a church, felt a tug toward ministry, or want a behind-the-scenes look at how God calls and confirms, this episode is for you.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
