What happens when 20 years of ministry end? Luke Newton was a worship pastor for nearly two decades, megachurch stages, church plants, the whole thing.

Most believers have heard 1 Corinthians 13 at every wedding they've ever attended. But 1 Corinthians 14? It's the chapter the church largely skipped. In it, Paul says to eagerly desire the gift of prophecy with the same burning zeal you'd covet your first cup of coffee in the morning. In this episode, Daron, PJ, and Producer Coop wade into the deep end to talk about what prophecy actually is, why most of us are afraid of it, and how something as simple as genuine encouragement might be the training wheels that gets you started. If you've been feeling stuck, spinning your wheels, knowing...

What if the biggest shift you could make isn't trying harder but seeing differently? Most of us are operating from a worldview built on scarcity, control, perfection, and self-protection — and we don't even know it.

This is not motivational content. This is a lens-changing conversation rooted in scripture that will challenge how you see God, yourself, and everyone around you. 🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS: ⚡️ God is looking...
