Pastor Ed sits down with global evangelist and author Mel Tari to discuss the inner shift that transforms a man’s marriage, parenting, and purpose from the inside out. Mel brings the warmth of a spiritual father and the clarity of a storyteller, and he…
Send us Fan Mail NFL Draft day is supposed to feel like a finish line. For most men, it feels like a test of identity. Pastor Ed sits down with his lifelong friend and former NFL standout, Brian Holloway, to talk about the pressure behind the NFL Draft, the calls you hope you get, and the silence you fear, plus what all of it reveals about who we are when our biggest dream is on the line. We swap…
Send us Fan Mail What if the best thing you can give your kids is not another lecture, but a better reason? Pastor Ed sits down with philosopher and theologian JP Moreland for a candid, practical conversation about fatherhood, discipleship, and Christian apologetics—the kind that helps real families handle real questions. JP tells the story of meeting Jesus in college after hearing thoughtful…
Send us Fan Mail You can feel it in the air right now: families are tense, churches are divided, and it’s easier than ever to slap a label on someone and call it wisdom. We wanted to go deeper than hot takes, so we sat down with Alexander Fenter, a South African pastor and author of Doing Reconciliation , to talk about what biblical peacemaking actually looks like when life is messy and…
Send us Fan Mail One survivor answered a question about trafficking prevention with a sentence that stopped us cold: “I wanted to see my dad love my mom.” That one line pulls the curtain back on something most people miss. Human trafficking is not only a law enforcement problem or an internet problem, but it is also a fatherhood problem, an identity problem, and a family stability problem. We sit…
Send us Fan Mail Leadership doesn’t usually collapse in a single moment; it leaks from the inside out. We’re sharing a raw, timely teaching from Pastor Alexander Venter, recorded in a room with a group of church leaders, and it lands right where many of us feel the ache: the public fallout of Christian leadership scandals, the quiet damage of spiritual abuse, and the temptation to confuse gifting…
Send us Fan Mail Mary Magdalene shows up at a grave expecting loss and walks away with a name, a calling, and a future. That’s the doorway we step through this Easter morning to the places we actually live: shame, father wounds, regret, family pain, and the quiet fear that it’s too late to change. We follow the Bible story of the empty tomb, and the moment Jesus speaks Mary’s name, we move…
Send us Fan Mail The most honest question you can ask yourself on Good Friday is also the most uncomfortable: if you stood before God right now and He asked, “Why should I let you into heaven?” what would you say? If your answer starts with “I tried,” “I was better than,” or “I did my best,” you’re not alone. That instinct is the default setting of the human heart, and it’s exactly why the cross…
Send us Fan Mail A parade can hide a diagnosis. When Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey, it looks like a celebration, but it is really a declaration: the King is coming in peace. We slow down the Palm Sunday story and ask why humility is the chosen vehicle of power, why the crowd shouts “Hosanna,” and why a donkey says something a war horse never could. If you have been craving peace with God,…
Send us Fan Mail If you’ve ever wondered why doing “all the right things” still doesn’t bring peace at home, we go straight to a surprising possibility: the way we love our wives is tied to the spiritual power we’re asking God for. Pastor Ed gets personal about learning to be a husband without a clear model and why our families feel the weight of that learning curve. We build the conversation…
