You really get the chance to hear their hearts and their personalities. Having leaders and friends that constantly challenge your heart and mind in healthy ways is so important and has helped me to grow so much as a person. The X Podcast has been one of many tools that have helped me grow in my faith, and find who I really need to... more

  • Really enjoy this

    I have recently found this church and I’ve been super impressed by everything and excited for what the future holds with it and possibly being a part of it. This podcast is great and engaging and I really enjoy all the tech/science talk and anything about Elon Musk! Big fan! Keep it up guys. I would suggest maybe turning up the audio a bit, I have to really set my volume almost all the way up to be able to hear you guys speaking, so maybe turn up the mics or something lol. Besides that, love it!... more

Q: How did your early experiences in different church communities shape your leadership approach today?
