Jordan Nations.
He is chock full of inspiring stories, many of which are written in his book: Not Home Yet. In the last episode of Assembly's first season, my new friend Jordan shares what it's been like to write his own stories while longing for a better place than the broken world we live in today. His humor and genuine love for people are both contagious! God does some incredibly awesome things in this weird life and Jordan remin...

Dana Vervaet.
This episode nearly didn't happen because we couldn't pull ourselves together and stop laughing for what seemed like forever... but I sure am glad we got to it after our extensive story telling.
Dana is one of those people who naturally makes others smile. She walks into a room and people gravitate toward her simply because her heart is authentic and her love is genuine. I'm so grateful the Lord has given me her as one...

One of the most humble, genuine guys you'll know. He is on the student team with Kate, Charlie, and I and we love to remind Mason how vital he is to First Pres on a regular basis. He grew up in the church and learned first hand how to seek out mentors and utilize the knowledge he's soaked in for his own walk with Christ.
Follow along as we talk about the importance of owning your faith while living in a world that seek...

Charlie Buchanan.
He's witty, ridiculously smart, and knows how to always make people laugh with his over the top story telling. Charlie is someone who has taught me so much about doing ministry effectively. Whether it's playing one man dodgeball with the students or teaching a lesson people remember for years, The Right Reverend Charles S. Buchanan sure does know how to dig deep with others.
Enjoy episode 5 as Charlie and I talk Jr...

Bailey and Edwin Martinez.
They love people well by listening and being present in hopes of tending to the hearts of their friends. With "a full diaper trash bag, laundry spread on the floor, and an old, scraped dresser in the corner" we have a conversation about what it means to live hospitably, pray with intention, and enjoy the married life.
Bailey and Edwin are two extremely humble, genuine friends for me and I'm thankful for th...

Ruth McWhite.
My mentor and friend. She always brings a smile to your day and reminds you that God gives hope even in the darkest of situations.
Follow along as Ruth explains her story of being both a mom and a minister. She is always bringing insight and wisdom into my life and I know she's done this for countless men and women throughout the years.

P.S. Please excuse this unedited episode as my editing program crashed on my computer...

Jim Thompson.
He's that one redneck, tattooed, Jesus-loving guy who brings levity and wisdom to every situation. Jim is a son, husband, father, pastor, writer, and friend. You'll hear touches of these parts of his life during our time together.
I hope you'll join the conversation as Jim talks about parenting, growing up as a pastor's kid, and how John's gospel emphasizes that a balance of grace and truth is required for following Chr...

She is the queen of storytelling. If you know Kate, you know she is FULL of creativity. She is constantly using her gifts to share how the Lord has worked in her life.
In the opening episode of season one, Kate and I talk about how insecurities can impact ministry as well as how vital it is to surround yourself with a community of people who will edify you - affirm you when you're bearing God's image well but also be wi...
