What does it look like to follow God when His calling takes you far outside your comfort zone?

Pete Alwinson sits down with Wade, a missionary who has spent 16 years serving in rural Zambia through evangelism, discipleship, church ministry, literacy, and training men in practical skills. Wade shares what life is really like in the African bush, from living off grid and hauling water to building a home on a mountain and raising a family in the middle of the mission field.

The conversation also turns to manhood. Wade explains how the challenges facing men in Zambia can look very different from those facing men in America, and why masculine strength should not be suppressed but directed toward godly leadership, faithfulness, service, and obedience.

At the heart of this episode is a powerful challenge about comfort. Wade shares how hardship, uncertainty, sickness, and risk have repeatedly driven him closer to God. His message to men is simple: do not allow your desire for comfort to keep you from obeying what God is calling you to do.

You do not have to move to Africa to enter the mission field. Your opportunity to serve God begins wherever He has placed you right now.

Join Pete and Wade for a conversation about missions, biblical manhood, courage, obedience, and the adventure of following God wherever He leads.

What does it really mean to worship God, and why does worship matter so much for men?

Pete and Zach sit down with Jeffrey Hoy, Director of Worship Arts at Willow Creek Church, for a conversation about worship that goes far beyond music. Jeffrey explains worship as a wholehearted response to who God is and what He has revealed, and challenges men to see themselves as worship leaders in their homes whether they realize it or not.

They discuss why worship should point people to Jesus rather than draw attention to the person on stage, why musical preferences should never determine whether God receives our worship, and how fathers communicate what they truly value through the way they participate in church. Jeffrey also shares practical wisdom about preparing your family for Sunday worship and choosing songs that are rooted in Scripture and centered on Christ.

The conversation also tackles a question many Christian men wrestle with: Why do so many men hesitate to sing? Jeffrey reminds men that singing is not something to be embarrassed about. Scripture presents worship as something strong, passionate, communal, and deeply formative for our families.

If you are a husband, father, church leader, or simply a man who wants to grow in your relationship with God, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about what happens when you walk into church each week.

Your family is watching what you worship. The question is what are you showing them?

What does the Bible really say about singleness, marriage, and the need for community?

Pete Alwinson welcomes pastor and author Doug Hankins for a thoughtful conversation about the changing reality of singleness in America and how Christians and churches can respond with biblical conviction, grace, and wisdom. Drawing from his book, Still Single, Still Called: A Guide for Christian Singles and Those Who Love Them, Doug explains why being single is not the same as being alone and why healthy community is essential for every believer.

Pete and Doug explore the calling and strategic opportunities of singleness, the danger of treating marriage as the only answer to loneliness, and the role churches can play in helping people feel known, loved, and connected. They also offer practical guidance for Christian men who want to date with courage and purpose, including the four Ts of community and the five Cs to consider in a relationship.

Whether you are single, married, dating, or leading a church, this episode offers a clear and encouraging vision for discipleship, relationships, and life together in Christ.
