We’re back on the porch with Kyle Goff, CEO of the YMCA in Sparta, TN and White County Commissioner, to wrap up our conversation on what it really means to lead with faith, serve with heart, and keep your head (and soul) above water in leadership.

In this second half, we talk community leadership in real life, the wins and wounds that come with it, navigating criticism in a small town, and staying spiritually and emotionally healthy while leading. Plus, Porch Picks makes its debut and we put Kyle through the ringer with our most controversial segment yet, on Truth or Trash.

It’s practical, it’s personal, and it’s porch talk you don’t want to miss.

Grab a glass of sweet tea and pull up a rocking chair — because today we’re diving deep into what real leadership looks like when the spotlight’s off and the pressure’s on.

In Part 1 of this powerful conversation, Kyle Goff, CEO of the YMCA of Sparta, TN, County Commissioner, and lifelong community leader, joins us to talk about how leadership is more than a title. We cover everything from leading with integrity, the importance of self-awareness, and how serving your community doesn’t have to come with applause.

With stories that stretch from boardrooms to backroads, Kyle shares a refreshingly honest take on responsibility, resilience, and the sacred rhythm of showing up.

This is front-porch wisdom at its finest.

Can you stream your favorite shows without letting them stream into your soul?

This week on The Pulpit & Porch Podcast, Tony and Robert talk about the tension between faith and entertainment, and how to navigate Netflix, Hulu, TikTok, and all the rest without losing your spiritual footing.

We’ll unpack:

• Why discernment beats legalism every time

• The difference between “harmless fun” and “heart-shaping” content

• How to set boundaries without becoming a hermit

• Practical ways to keep your heart holy in a Hulu world

So grab your sweet tea, settle into the porch swing, and let’s talk about what’s holy, what’s harmless, and what’s just plain Hulu.
