Ep. 112 | A Big Ol' Tangent

Is there a "right" way to eat a chicken biscuit? This week, Pastor Joe and Kirsten kick things off with a high-stakes culinary debate that proves even the simplest breakfast can spark a lively disagreement. But once the crumbs settle, the conversation shifts from the drive-thru to the soul as they "pop the hood" on last week’s moving sermon regarding Christlike Compassion. Pastor Joe reflects on the powerful story of his son, Brock—a moment of vulnerability that resonated deeply across the entire NewLife community—while taking us on a few signature "rabbit trails" down memory lane to revisit the mental snapshots of some perfect moments. As the episode unfolds, Kirsten shares her heart on why she believes our church is entering a unique, transformative season of spiritual growth. This leads to a stirring charge from Pastor Joe for all of us to not just notice the world around us, but to see, feel, and be moved to action like Jesus. We wrap things up with an exciting look at the horizon, previewing the many big things in store for our future. Let's pop the hood!
