What if “be anxious for nothing” isn’t a command to feel nothing but an invitation to be shaped by something deeper?

What does it mean to “be anxious for nothing” and have we misunderstood the word be? In this episode, Dustin Wright joins me to explore anxiety not as a failure of faith but as a space for formation. Rooted in Philippians 4, our conversation traces how Scripture invites us to bring everything before God, while actively shaping our minds toward what is true, honorable, and worthy of praise. This isn’t about denying emotion, but about becoming the kind of person who learns peace in the presence of Christ.

What if your purpose has less to do with how useful you are and much more about being loved, first?

In a culture obsessed with performance, this conversation explores what it means to root identity in love before productivity. Catherine Cowell and I reflect on how calling, purpose, and gifting can all become distorted without a deeper foundation.

At 23:20-25:45 Catherine listed 5 things that help to find your calling. They are:

• Something that you have an intrinsic motivation towards
• Something that you can get better at that you really enjoy
• Something you can do in community with other people
• Something which has a deep sense of meaning for you
• Something where you sense that you are contributing to something greater than yourself

Finding God's Feminine Side by Catherine Cowell

https://a.co/d/12YGZRQ

In this episode, I talk with Godfrey Gatete about his remarkable journey from surviving civil war in Uganda to leading a movement of gospel-centered education and transformation across East Africa.

When Godfrey and his family fled the Rwandan civil war as a child, he had no idea his journey would lead from the Ugandan bush to becoming a pastor, educator, and theological leader. In this episode, we talk about how God used each chapter of hardship to shape a vision for raising up gospel-centered, theologically educated leaders across East Africa. It’s a conversation about calling, courage, and the quiet faithfulness that changes generations.

We tend to treat art and beauty like side projects; they're nice, but not a necessity. But what if they’re part of how we learn to discover and tell the truth, wrestle with doubt, and live more fully in God’s story?

In this episode, I’m joined by Rick Sorenson, an artist, author, and the "Bhutan Paper Guy" for a conversation about the role of beauty and creativity in our lives and in the church. We talk about what art really is, how drawing can be a spiritual practice, and why the church should care about beauty not just as decoration, but as something essential. Rick shares his own story of becoming an artist, the lies we often believe about ourselves, and how creativity can help expose and undo those lies.

There are some details in popular Bible stories that easily get overlooked. In this episode, we explore passages that get skipped in Sunday school, not to poke fun, but to ask what’s really going on and why they’re there in the first place. As we dig into giants, Nephilim, and other overlooked details, we find that some of these oddities and weird details don’t weaken our faith. Instead, they magnify the power and authority of Christ.
