In this episode, Stephen and Megan sit down with Dave Leedahl, Lead Pastor at Northview Church — and someone who has been part of the Going Somewhere story from the very beginning. Together, they revisit the early conversations that sparked the birth of this podcast years ago, emerging from a shared desire to meet a need and invest deeply in the young adults of our community.
The three of them talk about what God has been doing in young adults, the hunger and ownership they’re seeing, the leadership and maturity emerging, and the unique obstacles and threats this generation is navigating. Dave also shares his hopes, encouragement, and vision for young adults stepping boldly into their callings today.
If you’re a young adult — or someone who cares about them — this conversation will stir your heart.

In today’s episode, Stephen and Megan dive into one of their favorite rhythms of the entire year: creating space for year-end reflection. Stephen shares the story of his very first reflection retreat back in 2016 (complete with the original journal), and Megan opens up about how reflection has shaped her life and spiritual journey.
Together, they offer a flyover of a few core practices—People of the Year, Life Lessons, and Word of the Year—while inviting you to slow down long enough to notice what God has been doing in your own story.
They also talk about the hazards of NOT taking time to reflect, including things like drifting into the new year without clarity, repeating patterns that keep you stuck, carrying unnecessary emotional or spiritual weight, missing signs of God’s presence, or simply rushing through life on autopilot.

Pastor Brad Lewis is back—and if you’ve been around the podcast, you know he’s a fan favorite. Brad has made a huge impact on my life, and this conversation felt like a gift as we near the end of this season.
In this episode, Brad reflects on last year’s celebration event where hundreds of alumni returned to honor 36+ years of campus ministry. He shares what it was like to look out on a room full of people whose lives had been shaped during those decades.
We talk about the transition of a ministry he led for so long into the hands of a young team, what he’s seeing God do in the next generation, his all-time favorite message, and the ministry trends that have shifted—and stayed the same—over the years.
And of course, Brad shares some of his most powerful God stories: moments of prayer, provision, calling, and life-change that remind us God is still moving in unmistakable ways.
If you missed Brad’s first conversation, go back and listen to Ep. 7 — Staying the Course.
As you listen, lean in. Brad’s heart for the next generation is sincere, hopeful, and deeply encouraging—and this conversation will strengthen your faith.
Every good thing must come to an end.
From our favorite TV shows to the seasons of our own lives, endings are a natural part of the journey — but knowing when and how to end well takes wisdom, humility, and faith.
In this episode, Stephen and Megan talk about the importance of recognizing when a season is complete, how to process endings in a healthy way, and what it looks like to move forward with peace and purpose. They share personal stories of transition — from college to career, ministry changes, and learning to say goodbye to good things — and explore how every ending can prepare you for what’s next.
You’ll also hear more about an upcoming ending of our own: The Going Somewhere Podcast is wrapping up with Episode 100! But don’t worry — this isn’t the end of the story. Over the next few weeks, we’ll celebrate what’s been and share more about the future.

Stephen and Megan dive into the ideas behind Jonathan Haidt’s bestselling book, The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness. Together, they unpack how the rise of smartphones and the decline of play-based childhood have shaped an entire generation.
In this conversation, Stephen explains Haidt’s core argument that childhood was “rewired” around 2012 — trading outdoor play, social learning, and healthy risk for screen-based connection, comparison, and constant distraction. They explore how this great rewiring has uniquely impacted both boys and girls, why young adults today are more anxious and lonely than ever, and how we can begin reclaiming what was lost.
You’ll walk away with practical ways to manage your attention, pursue real-world relationships, and rediscover presence in a digital world that never stops scrolling.
Be sure to subscribe today so you never miss an episode!
4 Key Takeaways:
- Own Your Attention. Recognize when your phone is managing you instead of the other way around. Create intentional phone-free times each day and reclaim your ability to focus deeply.
- Crave What’s Real. Invest in embodied, face-to-face community — shared meals, conversations, and experiences that outlast the scroll.
- Curate Your Digital Life. Audit your apps and notifications. Keep what connects you, remove what consumes you, and let technology serve your goals — not shape them.
- Relearn Play and Presence. Step outside, try new hobbies, allow boredom, and take healthy risks. These real-world moments build the resilience and creativity we’ve lost in a screen-based world.
Ask Yourself: What’s one simple way you can limit distraction this week — and one real-world connection you can intentionally pursue?

In this episode, Stephen and Taylor pull back the curtain on their marriage and family life for a conversation that’s equal parts laughter, chaos, and real talk. Together with Megan, they revisit their first date, share stories about parenting three very different kids, and reflect on the rhythms that have kept them grounded in a season of change. From marriage meetings to viral videos, it’s an honest look at what it means to dream big while building a healthy family culture in the everyday moments.
You’ll laugh, you’ll relate, and you might even hear a little unplanned ASMR from Taylor toward the end. It’s fun, unfiltered, and full of reminders that adventure often looks like the life you’re already living.

- How the early church practiced confession in community.
- The shift during the Catholic and Reformation eras—from communal to private confession.
- Why reclaiming communal confession matters today.
3️⃣ Barriers to Confession:
- Pride, lies, shame, isolation, shallow relationships, and independence.
- Why honesty feels risky but always leads to healing.
4️⃣ The 7 Circles of Confession:
- Sin
- Desire
- Lies
- Emotion
- Dreams
- Gratitude
- Faith (and Doubt)
5️⃣ How to Rebuild a Rhythm of Confession:
- Identify your people, place, and pace.
- Create spaces for vulnerability and prayer.

In this episode, Stephen reflects on a season when God reshaped how he viewed work, calling, and everyday life. Together with Megan, he explores what it means to see all of life as worship, break the myth of sacred vs. secular, and embrace your ordinary with purpose.
Key Takeaways:
- Redefining worship (Romans 12:1)
- The myth of sacred vs. secular
- Work and college are not a means to an end
- Faithful with little → entrusted with much (Luke 16:10)
- Presence and gratitude in the mundane
- Building trust and influence through excellence
- Made for work — God’s original design (Garden City by John Mark Comer)
Reflection Questions:
- Where am I tempted to see school or work as a distraction instead of a divine opportunity?
- How does Romans 12:1 redefine worship in my daily life?
- Where might God be asking me to embrace my ordinary and be faithful with little?
- How could I reframe work or school from “means to an end” to “gift to steward now”?
- Who in my everyday environment might I influence more deeply if I were fully present?

Recently, I had the surreal experience of watching my friend Carson Wentz run out of the tunnel as the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings — the very team he grew up cheering for as a kid in North Dakota. It was a full-circle moment that sparked something in me about dreams, detours, and God’s greater purpose.
In this episode, I share that story, reflect on Proverbs 19:21, and Megan and I invite you to consider the dreams or plans in your life that haven’t turned out the way you hoped. What if God is still at work, just in a different way than you imagined?
Here are four practical handles when your plans don’t line up:
- Name the grief, don’t just bury it
- Look for God’s faithfulness in the detours
- Hold your plans with open hands
- Take the next faithful step
Plans change. God’s purpose always prevails.

Bill and Kristi Gaultiere have spent over 30 years counseling and ministering to people as a psychologist–therapist duo. They are the founders of Soul Shepherding, co-hosts of the Soul Talks podcast, and authors of several books including Journey of the Soul and Healthy Feelings, Thriving Faith. Kristi also joined us back on Episode 40, and today she and Bill return to share insights from their brand-new book Deeply Loved.
In this conversation, we dive into the power of empathy — why empathy is like oxygen for the soul, how to receive God’s empathy for us, and what it looks like to extend empathy to others. Bill and Kristi help us explore the biblical model of empathy, unpack why so many of us suppress emotions and keep God or people at a distance, and offer practical steps to break through those barriers. They also introduce the “Four A’s of Empathy”:
- Ask Questions
- Attune to Emotions
- Acknowledge the Significance
- Affirm Strengths
If you long for deeper connection with God and others, this episode will encourage and equip you to live more deeply loved.

Prayer isn’t always polished — and it was never meant to be. David, called a man after God’s own heart, showed us what raw, honest prayer looks like in the Psalms. He brought every emotion to God — fear, joy, guilt, shame, anger, hope, and more. (If you want an example, read the story of David hiding in a cave in 1 Samuel 22 alongside Psalm 142.)
In this episode, Stephen and Megan explore what Christian counselor Chip Dodd calls the Voice of the Heart — 8 core emotions that every one of us experiences. Each emotion signals something deeper, and when we bring them to God, they can become starting points for unfiltered prayer.
We’ll unpack each one with a definition, reflection questions, and a simple prayer:
- Hurt → Signal: Something meaningful was damaged | Prayer: God, this still hurts. Meet me in it.
- Lonely → Signal: I was made for connection | Prayer: God, remind me I’m not alone.
- Sad → Signal: I’ve lost something that mattered | Prayer: God, be near in the ache.
- Angry → Signal: Something isn’t right | Prayer: God, help me release what I can’t fix.
- Fearful → Signal: I feel vulnerable or unsafe | Prayer: God, be my refuge and strength.
- Guilty → Signal: I’ve done something wrong | Prayer: God, I confess — give me Your grace.
- Shame → Signal: I feel unworthy | Prayer: God, speak truth over my identity.
- Glad → Signal: This is what I was made for | Prayer: God, thank You for this good moment.
Whether you’re feeling joy or pain, grief or gratitude, remember this: if it’s in your heart, it belongs in your prayers.

In this episode, Stephen and Megan get real about discipline — why it’s so hard, why it’s worth it, and how to keep going when every part of you wants to quit. From Stephen’s unexpected running journey (inspired by a roast from Paul Hurckman and the birth of the I Hate Running Club) to Megan’s honest reflections on her 2024 goals, they unpack the struggles, victories, and lessons learned along the way.
You’ll be reminded that every action you take is a vote for the type of person you want to become — and those votes add up. You’ll hear stories of accountability that actually works and a simple challenge to help you start small, show up, and stick with it — even when you don’t feel like it.

In this episode, we’re joined by Hannah Aberle, the Kids Ministry Assistant at Northview Church. She previously interned with Megan under Stephen’s leadership and completed a second-year ministry internship as well. With a dual degree in early childhood education and art, Hannah brings creativity and depth to everything she does.
Hannah shares openly about the pain of her parents’ divorce and the difficult years that followed — including a pivotal moment when her dad didn’t show up for their final meeting before she and her mom moved from Minot to Valley City. But this isn’t just a story of brokenness. It’s a powerful testimony of how God began to soften her heart, reshape her understanding of forgiveness, and lead her toward healing. Even when nothing else changed, forgiveness opened the door to freedom — and eventually, God began restoring her relationship with her dad.
It’s a vulnerable, hope-filled conversation about faith, healing, and the grace of God.

In this deeply personal episode, Stephen shares a major life update: after four years on staff at Northview Church, he's stepping into a new season — working alongside Valley Christian Counseling and Wellness to oversee marketing, social media, and church partnerships, while also pursuing writing, speaking, and resource development.
Stephen and Megan unpack the process of discernment, how long-term dreams from years ago (including conversations from 2021) began to align with God’s timing, and what it looks like to hold dreams in tension with present faithfulness. From Abraham’s "Going Somewhere" journey to the challenge of “leaving tomorrow while staying forever,” this conversation explores calling, obedience, and the sacredness of transition.
They also talk through the completion of Stephen’s upcoming book, navigating emotions in transition, and listening to God’s voice in everyday life.

In this episode, we’re joined by our friend Abby Newkirk, a Chi Alpha missionary serving at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey. Abby shares her journey of following God's call—one that includes a cross-country move, deep relational roots, and a few surprising connections (including her college roommate Megan and a pivotal conversation with Stephen that helped point her toward Rowan!). Her story is a beautiful reminder that God's plans often unfold through a series of faithful, everyday yeses.
Together, we talk about what it means to say “yes” to God—not just in the big, dramatic moments, but in the small daily choices that shape our obedience and sharpen our ability to hear His voice. If you've ever wondered how to discern God’s direction or if you're in a season of waiting and wondering, this conversation will encourage you to lean in, listen closely, and trust that God is speaking—even in the ordinary.

Sara Dangerfield and her husband, Dan, lead Journey Church in Minot, ND. Fun fact: Sara's sister is married to Stephen's brother -- so Sara and Stephen are basically in-law...in-laws (or something like that). Sara recently published her first book -- Leading Spiritual Hoarders.
In this episode, we talk about the importance of being a disciple who makes disciples. We talk about how people become spiritual hoarders by keeping the good news about Jesus to themselves instead of sharing it with others. Sara shares practical advice, like creating a list of 100 people you see throughout a typical week -- to determine if they are following Jesus, not a a follower, or unknown -- in order to be intentional with conversations. Sara also talks about navigating when dreams change.

Spending time with God is one of the most important aspects of a Christian's life. But it looks different for everyone. There are times it comes easy and times it comes hard. Here's the question, How do you spend time with God?
In this episode, Stephen and Megan give a glimpse into their own spiritual lives, talking about how they spend time with God on a daily basis. They share some of the breakthroughs and challenges they've had along the way. They also talk about WHY we spend time with God -- which is the first place we need to start. Spending time with God is going to look different for all of us, but here's the important thing -- God is drawing us into loving relationship and we have an opportunity to accept his daily invitation.
We provide some ideas on how to get started and answer a couple other listener questions -- How much time should you spend with God? Should you read the whole Bible?

Many of us have a picture of the kind of person we want to be but struggle to know how to get there. Living the life we want takes intentionality. A new year provides a natural beginning to set goals, kick poor habits, and pursue passions. It can feel overwhelming and therefore seem easier to quit two weeks in. As we step into 2025 and look to the year ahead, we want to help you put your best foot forward. Instead of new year resolutions, try new rhythms.
In this week’s episode we get practical in providing resources designed to help you live a more intentional life. We breakdown two resources: a Growth Plan and an Ideal Week. We share how these tools have helped us not just reach goals but implement sustainable rhythms. Here are the steps to develop a Growth Plan:
- Identify the Buckets in Your Life
- Ex: finances, spiritual health, friendships, work, school, etc.
- Write Your Current Reality
- What does your life look like in this area today?
- Identify your 2-3 Focus Areas for This Season
- You can't make big strides in every area. Determine which areas will be your priority.
- Write Your Envisioned Future
- Who do you want to be in this area 3 months from now?
- Create Goals and Establish Rhythms
- Choose 3 priority areas and set goals/rhythms to incorporate this quarter.
- Bring People In
- Identify one person in each area to hold you accountable. Share your goal/rhythm with them.
- Schedule your priorities
- Create an Ideal week calendar that includes your rhythms, etc.

We have all been there - wanting community and desiring deep authentic relationships. We were created for a relationship with Jesus but also with others. Many of us know we want lasting Christ-centered friendships but don’t always know how to get there. How do we build better friendships in our lives? How do we pursue others intentionally while also navigating our 9-5? How can we be a better friend so we can build better friendships?
In this episode, we discuss three ways to build better friendships. We start by answering some of your questions about navigating community as young adults. We also look at the life of David and the friendships he had. Many of us can relate to the desire for community. But building the life we want starts with us! We must become the friend we would want. We must see the best in others (Samuel). We must be the ones to show up in every season (Jonathan). And we must not shy away from speaking the truth in love to those we call friends (Nathan).

The 2024 Presidential Election is upon us. An election year stirs up all sorts of emotions and reactions; including fear, anger, annoyance, excitement, and indifference. The question is: How should a Christian navigate an election? What is our responsibility? What are we called to do? How are we supposed to behave towards those we disagree with? These are all the questions that surface during an election.
In this episode, we discuss the Christian's call to PRAY. We will share 10 Strategic Prayers to Pray Over the Election. The reality is, although we can play a role in the outcome of an election, we cannot control the results or the aftermath. We must remember that regardless of who is in the White House, God is on his throne. We must remain focused on our mission to share the GOOD NEWS with everyone - even those we disagree with. We must allow God to guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, not allowing the election results or the cultural conversation to lead us into fear, anxiety, anger, hate, or doubt. We'd love to hear your takeaways and feel free to share how you are praying during this election!

Cordel Finton joins the podcast to talk about how we should engage politics as followers of Jesus. Politics are a part of our culture, and the question is, how should Christians engage in the conversation? Cordel and Stephen talk about navigating tension of polar politics, focusing on our true mission and calling, feeling caught in the messy middle, defining the role of politics in our lives, evaluating where we get our news, politics impact on relationships, plotting a plan for loving engagement, and more! This is a complex subject and we by no means claim to have all the answers, but we do believe we need to have the conversations.

Dave Leedahl serves as lead pastor at Northview Church in Fargo, ND. Prior to that, he was the Director of Pharmacy at Sanford Health in Fargo, ND. When Dave stepped into his new role, you could say, he "left normal behind." The reality is, Dave and his wife, Alissa, left normal behind a long time ago, choosing to live a life of purpose in meaning regardless of their season and job title. Here are a couple of takeaways from this episode:
- Leaving normal behind doesn't always require a big action - it typically requires several small actions that build into an abnormal life for Jesus over time.
- Leaving normal behind means being willing to give up the comforts, expectations, successes, and opportunities that everyone else is enjoying.
- The people we surround ourselves contributes to the level of purpose and mission we will live our lives with.
