The Conversation with Adam Weber
For part 2 of this marriage series, I get to sit down with my friend, pastor and author Gary Thomas and his lovely wife, Lisa, about having a marriage that is built to last.

My favorite part of the conversation? When they talk about how they keep the fun - and yes, even the sex - alive in their marriage!

Work Hard. Rest Hard.
The Conversation with Adam Weber
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...

Living Out Your Faith Online
The Conversation with Adam Weber
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!

Carlos Whittaker on Grief, Growth & Staying Young at Heart

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. Carlos also shares how he stays young both physically and at heart (it’s probably not what you think!) and we discuss something he does better than anyone I know - bridging gaps...

Mayor Paul Ten Haken on Being a Good Citizen & Going Against Party Lines
The Conversation with Adam Weber
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...

From Work to Worship with Brian Slipka
The Conversation with Adam Weber
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.

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. Grab a copy of Brian’s book Win Some: Thanks to our amazing...
