Join Pastor Clay on the Dallas Metro Podcast for a heartfelt discussion with special guest Pastor Lane Hastie. Lane, married to his best friend Jennifer for 28 years, is a devoted family man with three children spread across the globe: a son and daughter-in-law in Denver, a daughter teaching special needs in Nixa, Missouri, and his youngest, a missionary associate in Liverpool. With a background in business, Lane was called to ministry, planting a church in Northwest Arkansas for 17 years before serving in Kaufman, Texas, for the past five years. His life has been deeply shaped by mentors like Pastor Bill Wilson, whose faithfulness and commitment to ministry continue to inspire Lane’s work.In this episode, Pastor Lane shares stories of God’s providence, from his daughter’s missionary calling in Liverpool, where she’s part of Heart Liverpool’s church-planting and cafe outreach, to his own journey of planting a church in Rogers, Arkansas. He and Pastor Clay reflect on the importance of perseverance, drawing from Pastor Bill’s example of never quitting, even in the toughest seasons. Lane recounts how re-digging spiritual wells, as inspired by Genesis 26:18-19, brought fresh water to his faith, encouraging listeners to return to God’s Word for personal renewal, regardless of their role as pastors or laypeople.The conversation also highlights Dallas Metro’s mission to raise up new leaders and build a debt-free facility to serve as a safe haven for discipleship. Lane emphasizes the transformative power of this vision, describing the new building as a tool to reach those estranged from God, fulfilling 2 Samuel 14:14.
