  • Raising Disciples, Not Just Kids.
    Jun 16 2026

    Hi! I’m the daughter of one of the hosts. Growing up in a pastor’s home, I learned that faith wasn’t a Sunday performance but the little things we did every day: a one-verse memory learned with a silly hand motion, a quick blessing at the table, a simple prayer whispered before bed. Tonight they’re going to be honest about how those tiny, ordinary rhythms actually shape a life — and about the real mistakes, the messy moments, and the grace that holds it all together. If you’ve ever wondered whether weekday moments matter or felt overwhelmed by culture’s noise, stick around. They’ll bring Scripture, real stories from ministry, and three practical steps you can try this week so you can lead your family toward God by grace, not by guilt.

  • Marriage: Covenant or Contract?
    Jun 9 2026

    What does it mean to build a marriage that honors God—rooted in love, respect, and mutual service? On this episode of *Go Be the Church*, Pastors Eric and Stephen dive into the heart of biblical marriage. They explore how Christ’s love for the church sets the standard for husbands and wives, what it means to lead and submit in healthy, life-giving ways, and how to foster unity without losing individual identity. Expect practical wisdom, challenging insights, and grace-filled encouragement for every married couple—or those preparing for marriage. Because a thriving marriage isn’t about perfection—it’s about two people learning daily to love, lead, and serve like Jesus.

  • Date Slow, but Find Someone Who's FAST
    Jun 2 2026

    Dating can feel like a minefield — full of hope, confusion, and sometimes heartbreak. On this episode of Go Be the Church, we cut through the noise with plainspoken, gospel-centered wisdom for anyone dating today. If you’re wondering how to date well — not just for fun, but with marriage in mind — you’re in the right place. Today we’ll unpack a simple rule: “Date slow, but find someone who’s FAST.” FAST stands for Faith, Accountability, Stability, and being Transformed into the image of Christ. We’ll talk guardrails for physical and spiritual boundaries, why motivations matter, how friendship and attraction fit together, and how to end things with honesty and grace when needed. Stay with us — practical, biblical, no-nonsense advice to help you pursue relationships that honor God and protect your heart.
