What actually counts as Christian leadership… and why does it fall apart so often inside the church?
In this episode, Nate and Pastor Joseph dig into the truth about leadership in the church and why so many believers end up confused, hurt, or just straight-up annoyed by how authority works in different Christian spaces. They break down what healthy spiritual leadership looks like, how influence can be used well or misused fast, and why accountability matters way more than titles or stage presence. It’s honest, funny, and a little uncomfortable in the best way possible, especially if you’ve ever wondered why leadership feels so different from church to church.
If you like real talk about faith, culture, and the messy parts of church life, you’re in the right place.

Episode 150 – Mission Trips: From Worthwhile to Christian Tourism
Are mission trips changing lives—or just locations? ✈️🌍
In this final part of our two-episode dive into Christian mission trips, Nate and Pastor Joseph ask the uncomfortable question: When does “doing good” turn into religious tourism?
This episode is part reflection, part roast, and totally honest. Whether you’ve been on 10 trips, fundraised for one, or just wondered why your church is always flying out when there’s work to be done down the street… we’re talking about it.
🎙️ Episode 150 – From Worthwhile to Christian Tourism explores the real motivations behind mission trips, the difference between genuine service and Instagram optics, and why the term “called to go” sometimes sounds a lot like “called to take PTO.”
