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!

In today’s episode, I’m joined by my amazing assistant Emily, and we’re having an honest conversation about something so many of us wrestle with - how to hear God’s voice in our everyday lives.

I open up about some of my own experiences and what it’s looked like to try and tell the difference between God’s nudges and my own thoughts. We talk about the role of scripture, the gift of wise friends and the qui...

Today on the podcast, I sat down with Brian Slipka. Brian is the founder of True North, a group of businesses that together bring in over a quarter billion dollars a year.

But this isn’t just a business story. While visiting his dad in hospice, Brian was asked a question that completely shifted how he viewed success. It moved him from chasing profits and personal ambition, to living with eternal purpose.

Today, I sit down with my good friend (and the pastor of another church in town), Pastor Phill Tague of Ransom Church.

We question why it’s so rare for two pastors from the same town (Sioux Falls, South Dakota) to come together and associate with each other? Why is this so uncommon?

We talk about the dynamics of pastor relationships which often includes jealousy, competition and comparison.
