Ashley Weece has a way of saying the thing you're thinking, but maybe haven't had the courage to admit.

In this conversation, we talk about what it really means to live with integrity, how to know if God is calling you into ministry, and why faithfulness in the small things matters more than chasing the big moments.

Ashley shares her story from growing up in Kansas and learning from her faithful grandparents to planting Iron Coast Church in Maine with her husband - and opens up about balancing ministry, motherhood, and the pressure to perform.

We also have an honest conversation about women in ministry, how churches can better encourage and develop leaders, and why your calling is never about building your platform. It's about glorifying Jesus.

Whether you're wrestling with your purpose, leading where you are, or simply trying to stay faithful in this season, I think this conversation will encourage you.

Remember: consistency and faithfulness win the day.

This week I'm answering your questions! We dive into everything from calling, ambition, and leadership to the Holy Spirit, mentors, self-awareness, and how to know where God is leading you. Along the way, there are a few laughs, a couple football stories, and some honest reflections on the lessons I wish I would've learned much earlier in life.

Thanks for sending in such meaningful questions. I always love these conversations because they're the same things many of us are wrestling with every day.

Some of the best conversations start with honest questions.

In this Ask a Pastor episode, I'm joined by my friend Travis Waltner as we tackle some of the toughest questions you've been sending in - from dinosaurs and the age of the earth to prayer, Revelation, the Old Testament, and how to read the Bible wisely.

We talk about why not every question has a simple answer, why faith and science don't have to be enemies, and why Jesus is the foundation of our faith. Along the way, we share a few laughs, admit where there's mystery, and hopefully encourage you to keep asking good questions.

Whether you've been following Jesus for years or you're just trying to make sense of what you believe, I hope this conversation reminds you that God isn't afraid of your questions, and neither are we.

In this episode, I sit down with J.R. Briggs to talk about something that can change the way we follow Jesus, lead others, and build relationships: asking better questions. We discuss why Jesus asked so many questions, how curiosity keeps our hearts soft, and the simple questions that can lead to deeper conversations, greater wisdom, and a more meaningful life. Whether you're a leader, a parent, or just trying to grow in your faith, this conversation is full of practical takeaways for life between Sundays.

What does it actually mean to be a man in today's world? In this episode, I sit down with pastor, author, and leader Joby Martin for a conversation about biblical manhood, faith, leadership, parenting, and the challenges facing men today.

Joby shares why so many men feel stuck between passivity and aggression, and how God's design offers a better path. We talk about what it means to lead your family well, stay engaged in your faith, find the right people to walk alongside you, and avoid letting success at work come at the expense of what matters most.

We also tackle a topic many parents are wrestling with: youth sports. How do you balance competitive athletics, church, family, and faith without losing sight of what matters most? Joby offers practical wisdom for parents trying to navigate those tensions.

Whether you're a husband, father, leader, or simply someone wanting to follow Jesus more faithfully in everyday life, this conversation is packed with encouragement, challenge, and practical wisdom for life between Sundays.

This week on Life Between Sundays, I sat down with Tim Ross for one of the most honest and needed conversations I've had on the podcast. We talked about peace, pressure, leadership, burnout, vulnerability, and what it looks like to stay human while serving others. Tim shared openly about the rhythms that have helped him slow down, protect his family, and refuse to let success define him. From putting his phone on "Do Not Disturb" for three years to saying "home is the win," this conversation challenged me deeply.

We also went into some heavier but incredibly important topics - silence, temptation, mental health, therapy, pastoral pressure, and why vulnerability might actually be one of the greatest gifts we can give each other. There were multiple moments in this conversation where I honestly felt like I was in a counseling session myself.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, restless, stretched thin, or just trying to hold it all together, I think this episode will meet you right where you are.

Emily and I are back, and this episode is all about your questions! Honest ones about the Bible, faith, and real life. We talk about where to start in Scripture, what to do when it feels confusing or outdated, and why asking questions actually strengthens your faith.

We also get into things like spiritual differences in dating, everyday habits (including my phone detox), and what God's been teaching me in a busy season.

Thanks for being here—because following Jesus isn't just about Sunday, it's about everything in between.

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Jason Van Ruler for a conversation that honestly challenged me in the best way. We talk all about communication. Not just what we say, but why we say it, and how understanding our communication style can completely change the way we relate to others.

We walk through the five communication types and how it can shape us as leaders, friends, partners - everything. More than anything, this episode reminded me that better communication leads to better relationships, and that real success looks a lot more like surrender than striving.

We also dive into creativity - why it's not just for a few, but part of who we are as people made in God's image, and why it matters more than ever in today's world.

This conversation challenged me to stay close to Jesus and not miss the moment we're in.

Because following Him isn't just about Sundays. It's about how we live every day in our life between Sundays.

In this episode, I sit down with Preston Sprinkle.. We cover a lot of ground. From his story and deep love for Scripture to some of the most complex and often controversial topics in the Church today, including sexuality, gender, and women in leadership.

But more than anything, this isn't about quick answers or winning arguments. It's about slowing down, asking better questions, and remembering that behind every topic is a real person with a real story. Preston brings both clarity and compassion as we talk through what the Bible says, why it matters, and how we can hold truth without losing our humanity. Whether you're wrestling with these topics yourself or walking alongside someone who is, my hope is that this conversation helps you lean in with curiosity, humility, and love.

In this Q&A episode, I respond to thoughtful questions submitted on Instagram and Facebook. They varied from what happens when you go to heaven to family devotionals to staying pure in a lustful world.

Following Jesus isn't just about what happens on Sunday morning. It's about the conversations at the dinner table, the arguments we work through, the doubts we wrestle with, and the small, faithful choices we make every day.

That's what Life Between Sundays is all about. Real faith for real life, in all the ordinary, messy moments.

In this episode, I'm revisiting a message I previously shared with our church because the truth in it is just too good not to share again. Looking at the story of Noah and the flood in Genesis, we talk about what it means to trust God when life feels overwhelming. Storms will come, but God provides what we need to stay afloat in the middle of them. My hope is that this message encourages you to keep trusting Him. Listen in.

With Valentine's Day around the corner, I invited my favorite guest, my wife Becky. A conversation about marriage, faith, and the everyday practices that sustain a life together. After 21 years of marriage, four kids, a few dogs, and so many different seasons of life, we reflect on what it really looks like to follow Jesus Monday through Saturday as a couple.

This episode is honest, lighthearted, and deeply personal. A reminder that strong marriages aren't built on grand gestures, but on faithful habits lived out in everyday life.

Whether you're married, dating, or simply longing for a faith that holds up beyond Sundays, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with longtime friend and Embrace Executive Pastor, Travis Waltner, to talk about influence. What it is and how to grow yours!

We talk about influence. How it's built, how it's lost, and why humility matters more than being the loudest voice in the room. We unpack how influence can be lost just as quickly as it is gained, why presence is more important than platform and what it looks like to lead in the small, unseen moments.

From leadership to everyday life, this conversation offers practical wisdom for growing influence the right way, especially in the life we live between Sundays.

In this episode, Emily and I are kicking off 2026 talking about fresh starts. Why we love them, why they matter, and why they don't always go the way we hope. There's something about a new year that invites us to pause, reflect, and ask what kind of people we actually want to become.

I'm sharing 8 books you should read in 2026 - not as a checklist, but as tools that can help shape your thinking, your faith, and the direction of your life. Even one or two of these could make a real difference.

If you're stepping into this year with hope, questions, or a desire to grow, I hope this episode will encourage you.

In this episode, I sit down with J.D. Greear, pastor of The Summit Church in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina. Under J.D.'s leadership, The Summit has grown from a church of about 300 people to a movement of over 12,000. They have a bold vision to plant 1,000 churches by the year 2050. Woah!!

But what I love about this conversation is that it's not about numbers. It's about leadership in real life.

We talk about the complexities and weight of leadership, how to find balance when everything feels overwhelming, and what it looks like to lead faithfully in a divided world without becoming cynical or jaded.

If you're leading people, carrying responsibility, or just trying to stay hopeful and healthy in the middle of it all, I think this conversation will really encourage you.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Shawn Johnson. He is the lead pastor of Red Rocks Church, an author, and someone God has used to impact thousands. And he is the coolest! Shawn shares openly about being diagnosed with Parkinson's, the battle with depression that followed, and what it looks like to keep getting back up when life knocks you down.

We talk about choosing joy on purpose, why fun actually matters in your faith, and the hope that will hold steady even on the hardest days. If you've ever felt like giving up, or you're trying to keep going when things feel heavier than you expected, Shawn's story will speak straight to your soul.

It's honest. It's encouraging. And it's a reminder that God does some of His best work in the fire.

In this episode, I sit down with Brittany (Thune) Lindberg. An incredibly gifted singer-songwriter who also happens to be the daughter of the current U.S. Senate Majority Leader.

We talk about the good and hard parts of growing up in the political spotlight.

She also shares honestly about learning to live in the world but not be of it, surrounding yourself with people who think differently than you, and finding her own identity and calling as an artist.

I also have to mention that Brittany and her husband Luke are dear friends of my wife and I's.

If you're trying to stay true to who God made you to be in a world full of expectations, this conversation will encourage you.

This week, I got to sit down with Masey McLain. She's an actress, screenwriter, and producer who's doing some seriously meaningful work. Whether she's on set, writing, or speaking, Masey is passionate about telling stories that matter.

One of the things I admire most about her is her conviction. She's said "no" to a lot of opportunities in Hollywood because they didn't line up with who she is or what she feels called to. That kind of integrity is rare.

We also talk about her new movie, Soul on Fire, the true story of John O'Leary. And what I love about it is this: it's not a victim story. It's a choosing-hope story. A choosing-life story.

If you've ever wondered how to chase a dream without losing yourself, or how to stay faithful in a place where faith isn't exactly the norm, you're going to love this one.

In this episode, we talk honestly about something so many of us feel but almost never say out loud: loneliness. It's crazy how life can look so full from the outside… so many people, so much activity… and yet on the inside, we feel completely empty.

We've gotten really good at giving the illusion that everything's great, even when it's not. But that gap between what we show and what's actually real? It's exhausting! And it's taking a toll on so many of us. Loneliness can affect us mentally, spiritually, and even physically.

But hear this: God never intended for you to walk through life by yourself. From the very beginning, He hardwired us for close friendships. Deep, honest, life-giving friendships.

In this conversation, we talk about how to move past the surface, how to admit when we're lonely, and how to start pursuing the kind of real connection our souls are craving.

Leadership, especially in ministry, can be lonely.

In this conversation, I got to sit down in person with pastor, bestselling author, and leadership expert, Carey Nieuwhof. We were surrounded by a room full of pastors and ministry leaders to talk about what it really looks like to lead well without losing your soul.

We talk about the difference between real friendships and deal friendships, how to spot false intimacy, and why real connection matters more than ever.

At the end, you'll also hear some honest questions from the room. The kind every leader wrestles with but rarely says out loud.

It's a real, hope-filled conversation for anyone who leads, loves the church, or just wants to follow Jesus well between your Sundays.

This week wraps up our Faith & Justice series… and it's good!

I sat down with Jessica Honegger, the founder of Noonday Collection, a fair-trade fashion brand that's changing lives around the world. Jessica shares how her faith led her to step out in courage. Starting a business that empowers artisans while also partnering with IJM to fight injustice.

We talk about what it really looks like to live out your faith in your work, how to slow down when life feels full, and why small steps of obedience can lead to big impact.

This one will leave you inspired to use what's in your hands to make a difference.

In this episode, I sit down with Christ-follower, author, pastor, and teacher, Sharon Hodde Miller, to talk about what it looks like to find real freedom. Not the kind the world talks about, but the kind that comes when we stop trying to control everything and let God be in charge.

We talk about everything from how to respond to the next big news story, to how to tell the difference between the Holy Spirit's nudge and plain old overthinking. Sharon shares wisdom on what healthy responsibility looks like versus unhealthy control, and how surrendering to God's authority actually brings more peace (and not stress)!

This conversation is honest, practical, and full of truth. If you've ever struggled with anxiety, control, or just feeling overwhelmed by the world around you, this is for you!

Welcome to part 3 of a very special podcast series we are calling Faith & Justice.

In this series, we're diving into what it looks like to follow Jesus in a world that is deeply in need of hope, healing, and justice.

We have been partnering with the International Justice Mission, an incredible organization working to end violence, exploitation, and modern-day slavery in some of the darkest corners of the world.

Today, we hear from former NFL linebacker Mark Herzlich. Mark's story is powerful. He's battled cancer, walked away from two dream careers in the NFL and sports broadcasting, and is now following God's call into ministry.

He also opens up about how his wife Danielle's story of childhood abuse has fueled his own passion for justice and standing up for those who can't stand up for themselves.

This conversation is real and raw, especially for men of faith who want to live with purpose, courage, and conviction.

Over these four episodes, we're honored to be partnering with International Justice Mission, an incredible organization working to end violence, exploitation and modern-day slavery in some of the darkest corners of the world.

Today, I get to sit down with former MLB player Nick Hundley, but even more than that, a man of deep faith and incredible leadership. Nick was also a former Director of Team Freedom, IJM's program that brings pro athletes together to use their influence for good.

Nick shares about his journey from playing in the big leagues to working in the front office with the Texas Rangers, how he juggles all his roles and what it really means to live out your faith right where you are.

And parents… there's a piece of advice Nick's dad gave him that you're gonna want to tuck away. It's gold.

Hey friends, Welcome to a very special podcast series called Faith & Justice.

In this series, we’re diving into what it looks like to follow Jesus in a world that is deeply in need of hope, healing, and justice.

Over the next four episodes, we’re honored to be partnering with International Justice Mission, or IJM - an incredible organization working to end violence, exploitation, and modern-day slavery in some of the darkest corners of the world.

Today, I sit down with singer/songwriter Ellie Holcomb who has supported IJM in lots of different ways. We talk about why justice and compassion matter so deeply to her, and some practical ways you and I can make a difference too.

Ellie also shares how she was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 42 and how it has deepened her relationships. She also opens up about how she navigates the challenges of parenting while pursuing her passion for music (oh, and she’s got a brand-new album coming out too!).

This conversation is honest, encouraging, and full of hope. I can’t wait for you to hear it.

Last year, the Wall Street Journal reported that Bible sales are up by 22% from the year before (how cool is that?!).

So in today’s episode, we’re hanging out with Amanda Bible Williams, the amazing co-founder of She Reads Truth. If you’ve never checked it out, it is an incredible community that helps women engage with the Bible every single day.

Amanda opens up about her journey and shares some cool insights on why more people are opening up their Bibles, and why community matters when it comes to sticking with it. Plus She gives some practical tips for those just starting out on their faith journey (like what translation of the Bible to buy and what chapter to start with when reading the Bible for the first time).

She also offers some heartfelt encouragement to anyone who has been hurt by the church - find out who Jesus is for yourself by reading His Word. He loves you and will meet you right where you're at.

Friend, this conversation will encourage you to keep opening your Bible and remind you that you don’t have to do it alone.

Today is part 4 of our marriage series and we’re wrapping things up with an incredible couple: Justin & Trisha Davis.

Their story? It’s real. It’s raw. In 2002 after planting their first church, Justin had an affair with a staff member (who was also Trisha’s best friend). They walked through four years of deep pain, grief, counseling and by God’s grace… restoration.

Here’s the thing… not every hard season happens because of choices we make. A medical diagnosis. A failed business. A struggling child. Family drama. A pandemic. These moments can easily pull us apart or force us to stand together even closer.

Justin & Trisha remind us that marriage works best when you choose to face challenges as a team instead of as enemies. We talk about the importance of honesty, vulnerability and turning towards your spouse when things get tough.

This episode is full of practical wisdom and a whole lot of grace. I hope you are encouraged.

Today is part 3 of our marriage series and I had the privilege of sitting down with Nicky and Sila Lee, a well-known couple from England who developed The Marriage Course - a program that’s impacted couples around the world.

They’ve been married 49 years (yes, 49 years!) and they share the small but powerful habits that have kept their love strong: praying together, saying thank you (especially for the little things) and making time for regular date nights - even after almost 5 decades of marriage! My favorite part? Watching how they laugh together. They balance each other so well, you can just tell how much they truly enjoy one another. Their wisdom is simple, practical and so encouraging.

We’re back with another “Ask Adam Anything” episode and today’s topic is something culture often overlooks: rest. While busyness is celebrated and productivity is praised, Emily and I talk about how true renewal comes when we step back and embrace rhythms of rest.

On the flip side, many people think they're overworked and burned out - when it turns out they might just be bored! Work is a gift from God and we should do it with purpose!

Friends, if you’ve ever felt worn out by the constant go-go-go of life, this episode is for you. I encourage you to find your rhythm where you can work hard AND rest hard.

In today’s episode, Emily and I dive into the importance of living a magnetic life - one that attracts others to us (and ultimately to Jesus).

This can be especially difficult when so many Christians are perceived as judgmental and hypocritical (especially because of what we say and post online) which often repels people from wanting to know Jesus or having anything to do with the Church. OUCH!

Join us for a conversation filled with practical tips for living out your faith online. We hope you feel encouraged to make some tweaks in your own life and online presence!

In today’s episode I got to sit down with my friend, Carlos Whittaker, and a live audience!

Carlos is one of the most life-giving people I know. He is honest, hilarious and always full of hope.

We chat about ways we can reconnect with God, what he’s learned about welcoming grief into his life since losing his dad to dementia almost 6 months ago and the challenges (and joys) of parenting older children.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by my amazing assistant Emily, and we’re having an honest conversation about something so many of us wrestle with - how to hear God’s voice in our everyday lives.

I open up about some of my own experiences and what it’s looked like to try and tell the difference between God’s nudges and my own thoughts. We talk about the role of scripture, the gift of wise friends and the quiet ways God often speaks when we actually pay attention.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Is that really You, God?” - you’re not alone! This episode is for you.

In this episode, I chat with my good friend and the Mayor of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Paul TenHaken.

This interview will sound a little different, as we recorded on one of the busiest streets in our city, Philips Avenue (shoutout to downtown SF, a must-visit if you’re in the area)!

As Paul approaches the end of his term, he shares what he’s learned about leadership and gives super practical tips on how to be a good citizen.

My favorite part? When Paul shares about why (especially as Christians) we need to respectfully speak up, even when it's not popular or it goes against our political party.

He also talks about the challenges of transitioning from a public role and how he’s making decisions about what’s next for him and his career (it’s powerful!).

Today on the podcast, I sat down with Brian Slipka. Brian is the founder of True North, a group of businesses that together bring in over a quarter billion dollars a year.

But this isn’t just a business story. While visiting his dad in hospice, Brian was asked a question that completely shifted how he viewed success. It moved him from chasing profits and personal ambition, to living with eternal purpose.

Now, Brian sees his work as worship. He’s using his influence and impact to point people to Jesus. And it’s powerful.

Conflict is inevitable in every relationship but how we handle it can make or break our marriage.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Gabe & Rebekah Lyons as we dive into what it means to fight well.

Not married? They also share some advice for those who are dating and include their “red flags” for when to seek counseling (yes, it’s a good idea to do BEFORE you get married) and when to walk away.

Through real stories (like how they got into a fight an hour before this interview!) and kind encouragement, you’ll learn ways to navigate disagreements with grace, humility and love.

Whether you're dating, newly married or decades in, this conversation offers practical tools and insight to help turn conflict into connection - and draw you closer to your spouse and to God.

In today’s episode, I sit down with author Justin Whitmel Earley.

Justin’s career began as a missionary in China until becoming a business lawyer. Along the way, he faced a tough mental health crisis that changed everything for him. What came out of that season? A totally different way of living. One that was shaped by intentional habits and vulnerability.

We talk about the two spiritual habits he leans on the most, how being vulnerable can strengthen our friendships, and what it looks like to build deep connections with our kids (even in the midst of chaos).

He also shares about his book The Big Mess - a reminder that the messiness of life, especially with our kids, can actually be a gift.

Today, I sit down with my good friend (and the pastor of another church in town), Pastor Phill Tague of Ransom Church.

We question why it’s so rare for two pastors from the same town (Sioux Falls, South Dakota) to come together and associate with each other? Why is this so uncommon?

We talk about the dynamics of pastor relationships which often includes jealousy, competition and comparison.

This conversation isn’t just for ministry leaders. Whether you're in business, education, or any field where egos clash and vision competes, this one's for you!

We talk about the ups and downs of doing ministry with people who share the same heart for reaching the lost, why saying “yes” to what God’s called us to matters so much, and how real, honest friendship can change everything.

So many men are bored! In their work and in their walk with Jesus. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

In this episode, I have an incredible conversation with Peter Ostapko, who shares his journey of creating the Kinsmen Journal - an annual magazine that challenges men to lead lives of transformative faith, redemptive fatherhood, and fostering a sense of brotherhood among men.

We discuss what it means to be a man, why men today are bored and how to raise sons that become men. Peter emphasizes the need for men (and boys) to embrace risk, adventure, and vulnerability and how those things actually bring us closer to Jesus.

Tune in for insights on redefining masculinity and be sure to share this episode with the men in your life!

And if you have sons, make sure you listen to the full podcast episode or watch the episode on YouTube because we chat about how boys come alive through play and how safety is NOT the goal for your sons (and it’s SO good).

Be sure to follow me on Instagram where I’ll be giving away 5 copies of the Kinsmen Journal!

Today’s episode kicks off a new series where we explore the important role of mentors through conversations with my own mentors that have profoundly impacted my life. My guest today is Rick Melmer, who has held numerous influential roles, from serving as the superintendent of a high school and the secretary of education for South Dakota, to working as the dean of USD’s School of Education and the director of Leadership South Dakota.But beyond all of these titles, Rick has been a constant presence in my life since my sophomore year of high school. Over the years, our paths have crossed in countless meaningful (& funny) ways. I attended prom with his daughter. His family supported my wife and me financially while I was in seminary. I also had the honor of performing the funeral for his father-in-law. And his family has been a cherished part of the church I now pastor. I ask Rick about the 3 areas of life where I look to him as a mentor: being a husband and dad, weathering storms in his career and being a follower of Jesus. Rick provides valuable insights into the role of a mentor and the impact they can have on our lives.
We also talk about the mentor’s Rick had in his life and advice on how to find mentors in your own life.

Brad is a leadership consultant, speaker, and author. More than anything, Brad is a connector. Brad knows everyone and he wants you to know everyone. He’s impacted my life in more ways than I can count (which is why I brag on him roughly 17 times a day)!

For the first episode in our New Year’s series, I asked one of the most positive people I know, Jon Gordon, to join us and talk about his “one word” concept.
Jon is a best-selling author and keynote speaker who changed his life through changing his perspective (along with having a strong faith in Jesus). It turns out Jon isn’t naturally positive at all!
Not feeling super positive this New Year? Not great with setting (let alone keeping) your resolutions? Consider choosing a single word to focus on instead.
Why? Jon says, “it provides clarity and focus. It gives meaning, mission, passion and purpose.”
Protip: Be sure to listen to the end when Jon shares advice he wished he had gotten earlier in life (it’s not what you think).

In today’s conversation, I sit down with my friend, Jordan Montgomery.
Jordan is a rising star in the speaking world and because of that, he’s spoken at events with John Maxwell and crossed paths with WNBA star Caitlin Clark. Jordan shares what’s been fun and hard during this season and then turns the table to ask me what I’m learning in my own life right now!
As many of us know, professional success can make winning at home difficult. Jordan shares how he intentionally balances saying yes and saying no and the significance of spending time with God to discern life's true priorities.
We also talk about encouragement, and how it’s both an art and a science, which means it’s something we can all learn to do better, even if it doesn’t come naturally. Jordan and I honor 4 specific people in our lives who have been encouragers to us.
Whether you're a leader, parent, or someone seeking inspiration, this episode is packed with heartfelt insights and practical wisdom.

In today’s episode, I get to have a conversation with the amazing Megan Fate Marshman!
Megan and I talk about seeing the messy parts of ourselves and how God can use our mess just as much as He can use our gifts (especially if we are open and willing to listen to His nudges).
Two months back, Megan shared at Embrace (the church I pastor) and the response was INSANE. Like unexplainable. So I asked her what has changed in her preaching process and how she uncovers so much wisdom.
She also shared how she’s gained an eternal perspective through grieving the loss of her husband. A perspective shift that has obviously changed her.
I hope this message leaves you feeling challenged and inspired!

In today’s episode, I had the joy of interviewing the dynamic mother-daughter duo: Allie (Cooney) & Sandra Stanley.
Being in the same family as influential pastor Andy Stanley, founder of North Point Church, Allie talks about the unique experiences, expectations and lessons learned from growing up in a family defined by faith, leadership and public attention.
Allie, now married with a daughter of her own, has written a book with her mom exploring the dynamics of mother-daughter relationships. During our time together, they share heartfelt stories, practical advice, and offer a glimpse into what it was like being raised in an environment where Christian principles are not just taught, but lived.
Allie drills down into why she still loves the church and has chosen to stay when so many others - especially pastor’s kids - have walked away.

Grace is a word that we’ve all most likely heard and yet we often get it wrong.
Do we really know what grace is and, maybe more importantly, what grace isn’t?
To dig into this topic, I sit down with Joby Martin. Joby is the founder and lead pastor of The Church of Eleven22 in Jacksonville, Florida which was recently named the “Third Fastest Growing Church in the United States” by Outreach Magazine.
Joby’s most recent book is all about the topic of grace.
We talk about why it’s a challenge for us to accept grace.
We talk about why it’s a challenge for us to extend grace to others.
Joby also drops leadership gold, especially for those of us who like to run fast (and maybe act less gracefully than we should when others can’t keep up). I personally needed to hear this!

A little over a year ago, I bought the book All It Takes Is a Goal by Jon Acuff and haven’t been the same since. Life altering for me (and I don’t say this lightly!)
What about the goals your teenager might have? Is there a way to help them pursue their goals? This is what Jon & I discuss on today’s episode.
I invited my teenage son, Hudson, to join me for this conversation. And it was a PRICELESS masterclass for both Hudson and me, as Hudson’s dad, to hear. If you have a son or daughter, it’ll be helpful for you too.
Jon talks about specific things you can do to help your teen pursue a goal and also shares some specific things NOT to do.
Even though this conversation is geared towards teens, adults (with or without) can apply Jon’s positive and practical tips to their lives and goals!

Welcome to part 4 of our 4-part series on how to approach the upcoming election season without losing your mind (or your soul)! Throughout this series, we’ve heard from different voices across the political spectrum. It’s been an INCREDIBLE lineup!
Today’s episode is the last in our series and I have a conversation with South Dakota Senator and Senate Minority Whip, John Thune.
Senator Thune gives us his advice on how to best engage in politics and what ways voters can be most effective from his perspective.
While he shares that these are definitely turbulent times, Senator Thune believes politics should be less about preying on people’s fears and more about appealing to people’s hopes - which is true whether you’re a US Senator or a US citizen.

Welcome to part 2 of our 4-part Politics & Faith series on how to approach this election season without losing your mind (or your soul)! Just as a reminder, throughout this series, you’ll hear from different voices across the political spectrum.
Today’s episode features former staff member for President Obama, Michael Wear.
During his time working in the White House, Wear directed faith outreach for President Obama's historic 2012 re-election campaign and was one of the youngest White House staffers in modern American history, leading evangelical outreach and helping manage the White House's engagement on religious and values issues, including adoption and anti-human trafficking efforts.
Michael is a leading thinker at the intersection of politics and faith. His Christian approach to politics can be boiled down to this: politics is a forum for loving your neighbor.
As a part of this foundational belief, Michael says ​the ​kind ​of ​person ​you ​are ​in ​politics ​is ​just ​the ​kind ​of ​person ​you ​are… and if that truth hurts, it may be time to reevaluate the way you behave (especially if you are a Jesus follower)!
We hope this series provides helpful wisdom and tools for navigating the upcoming election season with grace and hope!

Welcome to part 1 of a 4 part series on how to approach this election season without losing your mind (or your soul)! Throughout this series, you’ll hear from different voices across the political spectrum. We have an INCREDIBLE lineup!
Today’s episode features a conservative political commentator with News Nation, Denise Gitsham.
Denise brings a rich perspective being a second generation US citizen with Chinese and Canadian immigrant parents. She also has loads of experience in politics including roles at the White House for President George W. Bush, the US Senate, the Department of Justice - all while following Jesus.
While many of us like to keep faith and politics separate, Denise says they can’t be separated for Christians. In fact, Denise feels Christians filled with light and love are the remedy to the dark political reality in America.
During this conversation, Denise gives us a roadmap for how to navigate the upcoming election season and shares some final advice that may make you uncomfortable!
We hope this series provides helpful wisdom and tools for navigating the upcoming election season with grace and hope!

On today’s podcast, I sit down with Jim Martin who serves as the Vice President of Spiritual Formation for IJM.
In this episode, Jim shares about the power of daily rhythms and how these intentional rhythms help fuel our daily mission - something we all need to not just maintain the status quo but to grow spiritually while in the workplace.
Whether you face kids in a classroom, patients in a hospital, cars in a shop or anything in between, you will get practical tools for fueling your vocational passion that you can implement today!
Jim also shares some beautiful insight on a personal challenge he’s facing: when your adult kids walk away from God. If this is something you’ve walked through, are currently walking through or if it’s something you worry about in the future, Jim’s encouragement will bring you comfort.

On today’s episode of the podcast, I have a conversation with my good friend, Carlos Whittaker.
Carlos is many things (pastor, speaker, author), but you might best know him through his Instagram @loswhit.
Well, Carlos recently conducted a 7-week experiment where he didn’t look at a single screen. Think about that. Literally no screen (while traveling through airports, the tv in his home, maps on his phone… none of it!). Instead, he spent time with Benedictine monks and Amish farmers, learning the art of reconnecting with life beyond his screens.
Listen in as Carlos shares the valuable things he learned and gives us super practical steps we can take to reset our relationship with screens and step into a life of real connection with one another. Note: We also talk about our world being offended!

This week’s thought: You’re not that important… but you do have infinite worth.

This week’s thought: People doing stuff don’t have the time to criticize others!
Go ahead and read that sentence again. If you’re a person who is doing stuff, you probably know exactly what I mean. Don’t know what I mean? Maybe that means you’re playing things too safe.
My hope is that this thought will encourage some of us and challenge others. Listen in.

On today’s episode of The Conversation, I am joined by leading technology thinker and the founding editor of Wired Magazine, Kevin Kelly.
Kevin is a self-proclaimed radical optimist and hoarder of quotes on life advice. Over the years, he has compiled his favorite pieces of wisdom (particularly things he wished he had known when he was younger) and on his 68th birthday, he gifted what he’d written down to his young adult children. The results went viral so Kevin published his writings as a book so the world could benefit from what he’s learned.
His advice ranges from finding lost items around your house to attending funerals (my personal favorite) and just about everything in between!

In today’s conversation, I sit down with Ken Costa, a leading global investment banker and philanthropist, about his new book in which he wrote about how the transfer of wealth (in the amount of $100 trillion!) from the Boomer generation to Gen Z will revolutionize capitalism.
And while this is certainly important, we talk about something that matters even more - friendship.
In a world where mental health and isolation are on the rise, Ken (a baby-boomer himself) says “building friendships is one of the most vital and sustaining requirements for a maturing generation.”
We also talk about the importance of learning from people of all ages as well as connecting people to others.
Ken is an amazing thought leader with a wealth of knowledge and wisdom to share.

In today’s conversation, I got to connect with Harrison Phillips, defensive tackle for the Minnesota Vikings.
We talk about some important moments in Harrison’s life that have shaped him into the man he is today. From how he started following Jesus to why he started a foundation called Harrison’s Playmakers for young people with special needs.
On the night it was announced that he was the 2023 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award Nominee, Harrison walked into a room of 200 family, friends and young people who have been helped by his foundation cheering him on, which he describes as “one of the coolest moments of my life.” (Watch the video here).

On today’s podcast, I sit down with Gary Haugen, the founder and CEO of the International Justice Mission, an amazing global nonprofit organization working to end slavery and violence around the world.
Oftentimes Jesus & justice seem to oppose each other. Like you need to choose one or the other. Gary tells the story of how IJM started and explains how Jesus and justice actually go together! - they’re not opposed (like many Christians may feel they are or should be).
One of my favorite parts of the interview is only on Youtube where Gary gets vulnerable by sharing how he leads his team when he feels fragile. As a leader, I feel fragile often (aka daily!)

Over 2.3 million people in the U.S. are incarcerated each year. This group of people are the most unchurched and unreached population in our country.
An organization called God Behind Bars is on a mission to change that by introducing inmates to Jesus and connecting them to a local church.
Jake Bodine, founder of GBB, joins me to share his personal faith story and how he went from a rebellious pastor’s kid to the pastor of a prison church that has grown to reach more than 1 million inmates with the good news of the Gospel!
Last November, Embrace (the church I get to pastor) launched a God Behind Bars Campus at Mike Durfee State Prison and it’s one of the best decisions we’ve ever made as a church.
Jake & I also talk through practical ways you can take the message of Matthew 25 to heart by helping and supporting inmates and their families.

Granger Smith is back on the podcast to talk about the peace he has come to know since leaving country music to pursue a career in ministry.
As anticipation about the final show of the tour built up, Granger took the stage and happily surrendered everything he had ever known and gave it to God. He gave up being praised and worshiped by fans, for a greater call that God had on his life.
Granger’s journey is an example of how trusting and obeying God can lead to something beautiful… even if there’s heartache along the way.

Willie Robertson from Duck Dynasty joins me for a conversation about marriage, family and Jesus.
Willie and his Wife, Korie, met in third grade, got married a year after high school and have now been married for 32 years. What’s their secret?
The easygoing power couple have six children and five grandchildren and have found that being consistent in character has been key to leading their kids to the Lord.
Willie also talks about how sharing the Gospel with others should be as easy as talking about your spouse, pets or favorite hobby. And the more you share about Jesus, the easier it gets! If you need some easy and practical questions to start faith conversations with, Willie gives some great examples and also covers what he NEVER asks (which might surprise you).

Did you know an estimated 1 in 25 Americans has had a near death experience?
My guest John Burke has studied more than 1,000 near death experiences. He’s personally interviewed people across the globe who have been brought back from clinical death and he’s made an incredible discovery - many of these people are encountering the same captivating God.
One specific thing to mention: If you are unsure of where your loved one is who has passed and you wonder, “Are they in Heaven?” John gives a powerful message of encouragement and hope that all God needs is “one instant of a heart turning to Him.”
John passionately shares evidence that God exists and loves us beyond what we could ever imagine. And that He pursues us to the last minute.

Are you longing to find peace for your soul?
You might be surprised to hear that the path to peace is found in humility.
On Today’s podcast, I’m joined by my friend Joel Muddamalle, the Director of Theology and Research for Proverbs 31 Ministries. Joel works closely with Lysa TerKeurst and is a part of the preaching team at Transformation Church. Joel has a PhD in Theology and loves studying and teaching the brilliant truths found in Scripture and helping us apply them to our everyday lives.
According to Joel, humility is the missing piece for the security, strength and confidence we all want. It's time to stop trying so hard to avoid our limitations or overcompensate for them. God has better for us and it begins with bowing low in humility.

On today’s podcast, I’m joined by one of my favorite guests, the amazing Katherine Wolf!
This is Katherine’s 3rd time on the Conversation, in previous episodes she shared her story on surviving a near-fatal brainstem stroke in 2008 and how she and her family were left with a bittersweet new “normal” - living a miraculous second chance but also dealing with long-term, life-changing disabilities.
In today’s conversation, Katherine so candidly talks about finding treasures in life’s darkest moments. About how so ​much ​of ​life ​is us ​expecting ​more of ​this ​world ​and ​less ​of ​God. Katherine challenges us to flip that, “we ​should ​really ​expect ​more ​of ​God ​and ​less ​of ​this ​world.”
Listen to Katherine’s first and second interviews on The Conversation.

I recently read a book that I absolutely could not put down. I’ve literally told almost everyone I know to go buy it and read it for themselves. That book is called The Great Dechurching
"The current Great Dechurching ​is ​larger ​than ​the ​First ​Great ​Awakening, ​Second ​Great ​Awakening, ​and ​all ​the ​Billy ​Graham ​Crusades ​combined, ​just ​going ​the ​opposite ​direction.”
Today, I have the honor of talking with one of the co-authors of this book, Jim Davis.
Jim is the teaching pastor at a church in Orlando, Florida where he had a hunch they were experiencing a large and fast religious shift for the worse but had no data to prove it.
So, with the help of two sociologists, they commissioned the largest and most comprehensive study of dechurching (somebody ​who ​used ​to ​go ​to ​church ​at ​least ​monthly ​and ​now ​goes ​less ​than ​one ​time ​a ​year) in America.
What they learned was fascinating.
In this conversation, Jim and I talk about the different groups of people leaving the Church, why they are leaving and what we, as believers, can do about it.

Today I’m joined by pastor and author Nick Connolly.
He and his wife, Jess, are founding pastors at Bright City Church in South Carolina.
At the end of 2023, Nick was rushed to the hospital for what he thought were cardiac events but would later learn were severe panic attacks.
This led to 12 of the darkest days he’s ever experienced. No sleep. Spiritual warfare. And many, many more extreme panic attacks.
“But I thought he was a pastor?” (Yes, pastors are human too!)
Nick shares some advice for those who may have experienced similar struggles. We also unpack trusting God’s provision in our lives and how being persistent when you experience resistance - and NOT giving up - can lead to victory on the other side.

Two of my favorite people join me on today’s podcast - CJ & Steph Ham!
CJ is an NFL fullback, two time pro bowler and three-time team captain for the Minnesota Vikings.
Steph is a physical therapist and avid runner. They met at Augustana College (my alma mater - Go Vikings!) and they have three beautiful children.
In our conversation, CJ & Steph share their feelings on free agency & NFL trades. For them, it’s not players going to a different team, it’s saying goodbye to their friends.
We also talk about everything from being humbled by our children (God bless them!) to marriage advice to life in the NFL.
Sit back, relax and enjoy this conversation!

We cover an unpretty part of Carlos’ life right now: his dad’s battle with dementia.

We talk about the process of chasing after a dream when it feels like you have zero traction.
We discuss Carlos’ new kids’ devotional and how we don’t give kids (who are the real world changers) enough credit.
And we end with a challenge from Carlos that you won’t want to miss!

In today’s episode, I sit down with Max Lucado, a long-time pastor and bestselling author, to talk about loneliness.
But our conversation covers a lot more than that.
Max candidly shares that as he approaches his 70th birthday, he still deals with the same issues many of us face. People pleasing. Catastrophizing or imagining the worst case scenario. Longevity in ministry. Integrity. Staying humble. Not becoming jaded.
Sounds heavy, right?
But with his signature southern kindness, Max gently speaks into each issue with honesty and encouragement. He walks through what he personally does when these feelings bubble up inside of him and reassures us that we are all works in progress… and that we are never alone!
Friends, don’t miss this genuine and uplifting conversation!

Henry is a seasoned entrepreneur and leader who is passionate about driving positive societal change through technology. Together, we discuss the importance of incorporating technology and faith in order to reach people where they are - which is largely in the digital space.
I also got the opportunity to ask Henry about a change Glorify made that didn’t land well with a large portion of app users and what he learned from that experience. Henry even shares some practical advice and encouragement for those who may be considering a job change or starting a side-hustle.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Laney Rene, a wife & young mom who walked through a painful season when she lost her baby boy at 17 weeks pregnant.
Like anyone would, Laney has struggled with fear, especially considering she is pregnant again! The Enemy has used lies that have caused her to turn her eyes from Jesus to herself - and through mental attacks, led her to question if she’s doing something wrong that will hurt the unborn baby she is carrying now.
But Laney’s story doesn’t end there. She’s allowed Jesus to carry her through and remind her of who she REALLY is… a daughter of the King!
Listen in as Laney shares a message of hope and encouragement for anyone who may be struggling to answer the question “Who am I?” and reminds us that Jesus can redeem all things for His glory.

In this conversation (to wrap up our 3 Episode Series on Parenting Teens), I sit down with a teenager to hear their spiritual journey and to talk about the pressures of growing up in today’s world.
To go another layer deeper, he’s a pastor’s kid.
Oh, and did I mention he’s my son?
Hudson Weber is a music-loving 17-year-old with wisdom beyond his years. Yes, I might be biased!
From his early reluctance to stand in the spotlight to his transformation into a passionate guitar player leading worship, this episode uncovers the layers behind the title 'pastor's kid.'
Listen as Hudson and I talk about the complexities of faith, family, and the pressures of growing up in the church.
I hope as you listen, you’re reminded that behind every role we play in life, there's a personal story waiting to be told.

Attention Parents of Teenagers! This is part 2 of a 3 part series on parenting teens. If you missed week 1, listen to it here.
According to the CDC, mental health problems in youth often go hand-in-hand with other health and behavioral risks like increased risk of drug use, experiencing violence, and higher risk sexual behaviors.
In part 2 of our 3 part series on raising teens, licensed therapist Mary Weber is back to discuss what issues are most common with the young patients she sees (from anxiety to busy schedules), how to teach our teens resiliency instead of rescuing them, and ways we can come alongside our teens as parents, mentors, teachers and youth leaders.
As always, Mary approaches these topics with kindness, empathy, grace and truth while sharing practical tips you can implement immediately. Plus, she gives a pep talk to parents who may want (and need) to have a difficult conversation with their kids!
Mary Weber has been a licensed therapist for 36 years and is based out of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She has been well trained and educated, has a mountain of experience, & a deep love for the Lord.
If you are the parent of a teenager, a youth leader in your church or if there are teens in your life who you love, don’t miss part 2 of this 3 part series.

Attention Parents of Teenagers! We’re kicking off a 3 week podcast series on parenting teens.
Most typical youth ministries today produce nice, obedient kids who behave themselves - and then once they leave home, they leave the church and the faith.
What are we (as the Church and as parents) doing wrong?
I sit down to discuss this with Kara Powell, chief of leadership formation at Fuller Seminary, executive director of the Fuller Youth Institute (FYI), and professor of youth and family ministry. And what might qualify her the most is that she is a mom of 3 kids, ages 23, 21 and 17.
Kara loves youth. She loves the church. And she also loves researching issues facing parents and youth leaders so she can help us better serve the next generation so they can become adults who hold fast to the Truth.
This episode isn’t filled with Kara’s opinions, it’s filled with insightful data that can help us as parents.
If you are the parent of a youth, a youth leader in your church or if there are youth in your life who you love, don’t miss part 1 of this 3 part series.
Learn more about Kara, her books and her ministry here: karapowell.com

Today's conversation is about baggage.
We all have it.
Oftentimes it’s heavy and difficult to carry.
More than that, if we don’t deal with our baggage, after time it will catch up with us.
But not only us, if we don’t deal with our baggage as business leaders, pastors, or even as parents, it’ll impact the people around us.
How do we deal with our baggage? That’s what today’s conversation is all about!
I sit down with author and pastor, Ike Miller, to unpack the topic of baggage.
Ike is married to Sharon Hodde Miller and together they pastor Bright City Church in Durham, North Carolina.

Adam is back for this month’s South Dakota series episode with Paul TenHaken, the mayor of Sioux Falls (South Dakota’s largest city)!
Mayor TenHaken first took office in 2018 and is currently serving his second (and final) term. He has amassed an impressive list of accomplishments for the city, which was named one of the best run cities in the country in 2021! But more importantly, Paul has done so while being vocal about his faith and prioritizing his growing family.
During their conversation, Paul and Adam discuss how rising early (from cold plunges to reading the Bible) has made a huge, positive impact on how they take on challenges throughout their day. They also talk about how to lead with purpose, why we should seek significance over financial success and practical ways to keep a level head.

Sandy was the former vicar (pastor) of HTB Church and has been the pastor to some of the most influential pastors in England including Nicky Gumbel, Ken Costa, and Nicky Lee.

A recent Pew Research Center study estimates that 31% of people raised in the Church become unaffiliated between ages 15 to 29 and an additional 7% of people raised in the Church become unaffiliated later in life, after the age of 30.
Why is this happening?
Why should a person consider staying?
Is there anything that can or should be done?
In today’s conversation, I sit down with author and teacher Blaine Eldredge.
Blaine grew up in a home with parents who are both well-known Christian leaders. You might be familiar with his dad, author John Eldredge.
Even though he grew up in a “Christian home”, Blaine went through periods of time wrestling with his faith and exploring other options.

This second episode of the Rough Cut Thought series is about Celebrity Pastors, and more specifically about making assumptions.
When I say “celebrity pastors” I mean the guys and gals you probably follow on Instagram—the ones with huge platforms, podcasts, and books you’ve maybe even read. (Or for you, it could be celebrity leaders or artists.)
But more than my thoughts about celebrity pastors, this episode is about making assumptions and living a life of integrity. I hope these thoughts will encourage and challenge you.

In today’s episode of The Conversation, Adam sits down with Olympic Gold Medalist and 400m hurdle World Record holder, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone.
Sydney entered the track & field world’s spotlight when she qualified for the Rio Olympics at only 16 years old, an accomplishment that was fueled heavily by fear.
Sydney and Adam discuss the hurdles we face in life.
For Sydney the obstacles have included perfectionism, anxiety and constant feelings about her identity and whether she measures up.
Sydney shares so candidly about her identity being tied up in whether she won or lost…. Until God transformed her life, helped her conquer her fears and she found her true identity in Him.
Specifically if fear, perfectionism, & anxiety is a part of your story, don’t miss this conversation.

As we start a brand new year, today I am kicking off a brand new series on the podcast called Rough Cut Thoughts. These episodes will share my unpolished thoughts on leadership, faith, & life that are still a work-in-progress inside of me. So instead of ending with a pretty bow, these episodes might end with more questions than answers. In that case, I’d love to hear your thoughts on what I share.
This first Rough Cut Thought is on Receiving Honor From Others. Which approach will backfire bigtime? How can we get honor from others? Why do we even want honor in the first place? And what does God have to say about it all?

Christmas is a time often associated with joy but it can be very challenging for those who have lost a loved one. The Christmas season seems to highlight the profound loss even more.
Licensed Therapist, Mary Weber, is back to help us unpack why the holiday season makes coping with death and grief feel harder and gives us practical tips for honoring ourselves, our feelings and those we have lost.
Friends, if you are coping with a loss this Christmas, you are not alone. God sees you. God loves you. And God is always with you.
Note: The day after this interview, I got an email from Mary that shared some additional thoughts around Grief & Christmas. Her additional words were so powerful that I asked for her permission to share them with you. Take 30 seconds and get her words at adamweber.com/grief

Today’s episode is one of the most powerful I’ve ever had.
My guest is Ronnie Olivier. At age 17, Ronnie was convicted for murder and sentenced to life without parole in Angola prison, one of the most notorious prisons in America.
As he sat in his jail cell, he called out to Jesus to ask for help, healing and hope.
Twenty-seven summers later, he was miraculously released and shares his powerful story of finding faith and forgiveness (even from the mother of the man he killed) and encourages us there’s nothing God can’t redeem and restore.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your past, today’s episode is for you.
I sit down with Jason VanRuler, a licensed therapist (in my eyes, the best in our country), author, speaker, and coach. He’s also someone who has dealt with his own past: childhood trauma, alcohol & drug use, and bouts of depression.
More than anything else, Jason is my dear friend and someone who deeply loves Jesus.
Jason has found healing and is determined to help others do the same by facing their past, owning their present and casting a vision for the future.
With a beautiful combination of grace and truth (and a witty humor), Jason helps us find the courage to be vulnerable about our stories and helps us take tangible steps toward healing.

In today’s conversation, Adam talks with one of the most well-known faces in TV, Big Brother host Julie Chen Moonves!
Julie is an American TV personality that has served as everything from reporter to co-anchor on several news and talk shows and has been the host of the American version of Big Brother for all 25 seasons it’s been on air!
Big Brother fans: in this episode, Julie shares her favorite houseguests and moments from Big Brother season 25, along with why she signs off the way she does.
Julie spent the first 48 years of her life ignoring God. In 2018, everything changed for Julie. It was a rock bottom year, but one in which she came to follow Jesus. In hindsight, it was the best thing that could have happened.
Listen in to find out how Jesus has changed Julie, what it looks like to follow Jesus with a demanding career in the public eye and how to make a difference in what some might call a (very) secular workplace.

“Follow your dreams” is the self-help message of our day.
We are taught to dream big, work hard, and find true happiness in living our dreams. And so we spend our lives chasing after our dreams.
But as we do, we can often be met with exhaustion, anxiety, and disappointment. Our circumstances may put our dreams in jeopardy, or even deny them—and then we’re heartbroken. Or we achieve our wildest dreams and are left wanting more!
In this conversation, Adam and his guest Wade Joye discuss a different way.
Wade served as the main Worship Pastor at Elevation Church (one of the most influential churches in the world) for over 14 years until he loosened his grip on his dream… to consider the dream God had for him.

Over 40% of the world’s population today (which is equal to more than 3 billion people) are still completely unreached by the gospel.
This means ​that ​they'll ​be ​born, ​they will live ​and they will​ (literally) ​never ​​hear ​the ​good ​news ​of ​God's ​love ​in ​Jesus!
Adam and his guest, David Platt, are both passionate about changing that (and talk about why all believers ought to care about this too).
David serves as a pastor at McLean Bible Church in the metro of Washington, D.C. He is the author of New York Times Bestselling book called Radical along with the founder of Radical, an organization that exists to equip Christians to reach the unreached places in the world for Christ.
David always shares the difference between the “American Gospel” and the Gospel about Jesus.

For many of us, the subject of healing can be super confusing (& even disorientating.)
Does God still physically heal people? If so, why didn’t God heal my loved one? Why don’t I ever see healings take place?
Have you ever prayed for physical healing for yourself or someone else and not seen God come through?
Same here.
Adam sits down with author and his former Asbury Seminary professor Dr. Steve Seamands to talk about why supernatural healing seems absent today in the lives of most Christians and churches… and how we can respond when we may or may not see healing take place.
Also, Steve very practically shares how we can pray for healing in another person’s life.

As an Asian-American woman who has been a preacher since age 19, Faith Eury Cho knows what barriers are present in many churches today.
In this episode, Adam & Faith discuss some of the specific challenges Asian-American women face both inside the Asian-American Church and outside of it.
Instead of allowing these barriers to limit her, they’ve inspired her to help bring about change.
In 2020, she co-founded a church with her husband. She also founded the Honor Summit, a non-profit organization dedicated to equipping and activating Asian-American women for the mission of God. And Faith shares ways non-Asian Americans can help.
Adam & Faith also discuss the times of Wilderness we experience throughout life, when we feel separated from God’s presence.
Faith shares her powerful wilderness story and asks the question, “What if the purpose of our wandering is not to reach the Promised Land but to recognize that God is with us in the desert?”

Adam is back with another honest conversation around faith, Jesus, and the Church. These are questions that many of us (Christians and non-Christians) have that maybe we’ve always struggled to answer or maybe we’ve never had the courage to wrestle with.
Adam is joined by a live audience and Justin Brierley. Justin is a freelance writer, speaker and broadcaster from England who has become known for creating dialogues between Skeptics, Christians, Atheists, and non-Christians. Justin is passionate about creating honest conversations around faith, science, theology and culture.
They tackle honest questions around:
* Is Christianity and faith a way to “cope” with life? * How does fighting within the Church affect apologetics? * What is the strongest intellectual argument for God? * Why Christianity over other religions? * What are good reasons for believing in the historicity of Jesus? * How do you navigate the current soundbite culture?

Walker Duehr, from Sioux Falls, SD is currently playing in the NHL for the Calgary Flames. He is the only South Dakotan to score a goal in NHL history (watch it here)! Walker credits his success to his Midwest upbringing, which taught him preparation and a strong work ethic means more than being the most skilled player on the ice.

Derrek Tuszka, from Warner, SD went from playing 9 man football to playing for NDSU to playing in the NFL. Derrek shares the uncertainty he’s felt in the ups and downs of his career… from the high of draft day to the low of getting cut - multiple times. Derrek knows the only thing he has for certain is his faith and trust in God.

This week’s guest needs no introduction, John Maxwell. #legend

John is a #1 NY Times bestselling author, coach, speaker, pastor and thought leader who has sold more than 24 million books in 50 languages. Each year Maxwell speaks to Fortune 500 companies, presidents of nations and many of the world's top business leaders and I got to sit down to talk with him about communication.

John discusses what happens when we experience success: it separates us from the people we’re trying to connect with and it creates a gap. Those on the other side of the gap can be your fans or your friends. Fans can be great but we want friends! To have friends you need to close the gap. How do we do this? Listen in.

In today’s conversation, I sit down with Brad Montague, a New York Times bestselling author of books for kids and former kids.

You may know Brad as the creator of the series Kid President. His newest mission, The Fantastic Bureau of Imagination, is about keeping the world’s creativity going through dreaming AND doing.

In this episode, Brad speaks so beautifully about the gifts and talents God has given us through creativity. About how to be both a dreamer and a doer. Naturally we’re good at one (dreaming or doing), but it takes courage to do both!

“Dare ​to ​dream, ​but ​please ​also ​do. ​For ​dreamers ​are ​many, ​but ​doers ​are ​few.”

What would you say if you were completely honest with yourself and with God? It’s time to find out!

In today’s conversation, Adam sits down with his friend Jennifer Dukes Lee to talk about her new guided journal Stuff I'd Only Tell God.

Jennifer lives on a farm in northwest Iowa, she is an author, an acquisitions editor with Baker Books & she has a heart of gold.

Adam typically leans away from talking about a guest’s book, but this week he’s leaning in.

With daring questions, provocative lists, and quirky charts and illustrations, this journal is a place to record all the stuff you’d only tell God: ideas, beliefs, secrets, memories, wonderings, and wishes. You’ll find the space, the courage, and the help you need to unearth the real you… The you that is sometimes buried deep beneath a layer of self-protection.

In today’s episode of The Conversation, Adam sits down with Bianca Juarez Olthoff! She’s a wife, step-mom, pastor & author.

Together, the two talk about grit. What is it? How to cultivate more of it? How grit is different from hustle and the importance of Sabbath and rest. Bianca also dives into self-awareness and how it’s critical to know who you are in order to be “gritty.”

Near the end, Adam asks Bianca if there’s an area of her life in which she’s personally asking God for more grit (a question she’s never been asked before) and she responds by sharing she has struggled with her weight since she was a teen. Her answer is vulnerable and really relatable.

So, to anyone having a similar struggle or if you generally feel like you lack confidence, perseverance and grit, we hope her answer and encouragement brings you hope!

Today on The Conversation, Adam and his longtime friend Travis Walter, one of Embrace’s pastors, talk about the Church. The Church with a capital C. They share their thoughts on the Church and some things that they’re seeing in Christians right now.

This is a conversation that has been stirring inside of Adam for months.

Some examples of what they’re talking about today are:
Stop dating 2 or 3 churches and instead marry 1 church.
Go to church, even on the Sundays that the main pastor isn’t preaching.
Online is a great option for guests.
If going to church is optional for you, there’s a high chance that it won’t be important for your kids.

If you’re a Jesus follower, Adam hopes this conversation encourages you—and challenges you.

If following Jesus isn’t about being a “deep Christian,” what is it about?

Adam and Travis Waltner are back to talk about a fresh perspective to growing in your faith: fruitfulness. Instead of looking at your walk with Jesus as deep or shallow, better questions to ask yourself are: What is my life producing? Am I growing in my love for God & others? Are my attitude, thoughts, words, and actions becoming more like Jesus? Our focus as Jesus followers shouldn’t be depth, it should be fruitfulness.
