Can you follow Jesus and work in politics? Can you keep your faith in a world that rewards pride, power, and self-promotion?

In this powerful episode, I reconnect with my good friend Trenton Hale who now works in the heart of Washington D.C. to talk about what it means to stay grounded in Christ while navigating one of the most secular and self-driven environments in our culture today.

We talk about:

• Keeping faith when you're the only one who has it
• The difference between serving power and serving people
• How Christians can influence politics without compromising the gospel
• Why your transformation isn't just for you but it's also for others
• What it looks like to be the hands and feet of Jesus in a broken system

This episode is for anyone wondering how to live faithfully in a faithless environment and why Jesus is still King, even in the capital.

The world needs more godly leaders. This is what one looks like.

Can you be married, raising a family, and living on fire for God at 22?
Jordan Sims says yes and he’s living it.

In this raw and powerful episode, Jordan shares how he went from a pastor’s son to a husband and father of a one-year-old daughter while growing as a leader, deepening his walk with Jesus, and confronting the painful realities of selfishness, pride, and spiritual warfare that come with godly manhood.

We talk:

• 🔥 How marriage isn’t about happiness but holiness
• 🍼 What becoming a young dad taught him about the Father’s love
• 🛠️ Why God uses conflict and discomfort to grow you
• 💪 The truth about masculinity, obedience, and spiritual leadership
• 📖 The real reason church kids fall away and how to reclaim your fire

If you’ve ever asked, “Am I too young to step into what God’s calling me to?” this episode will wake you up and light a fire in your soul.

Because God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
Jordan Sims is living proof.

In this deeply personal and powerful episode, Lucas welcomes a guest unlike any other. His mother, Nancy Barrett. Together, they open up about what it really means to be a godly woman in today’s world, the emotional legacy of motherhood, and how to build a marriage grounded in Christ.
