This week, Debi is joined by Pastor Jim Black, Director of the Care Network at Dream City Church.

Pastor Jim oversees congregational care and has performed hundreds of funerals for Dream City Church.

Debi and Jim discuss the aftermath of tragedy. It often brings out either the best or worst in people and can either bring families together or amplify existing issues. The Congregational care network has a unique opportunity to provide comfort, care and guidance to those in need.

Pastor Jim also talks about how performing so many funerals has caused him to focus on prioritizing relationships over money and to guard his time with his family.

This week, Debi is joined by Adam Ranney, worship pastor at Dream City Church Glendale Campus, and a leader in men's ministry.

Debi and Adam talk about how across ministries and churches, men are being called higher, back into their divine purpose.

Adam shares a picture of the importance of covering. God created Adam, Eve was created from within Adam and children are created from within women. There is a beautiful, biblical order to covering and protection of the family.

Debi and Adam discuss the importance of men being whole and healthy, and how men's strength or weakness can have a profound effect on those around him. They discuss personal and biblical examples.

They also give some practical steps for those who are new to the faith, and for men who are wanting to grow in Christ to be better husbands, fathers and friends.

This week, Debi is joined by Sloan Adams, Central Senior Strategic Manager of TPUSA Faith

Debi and Sloan discuss the faith arm of TPUSA and its work unifying and empowering churches to speak truth in love to culture.

They discuss how so many cultural and political issues over the last several years including COVID, BLM, Antifa, men calling themselves women and the overturn of Roe v Wade have impacted churches. Some churches like Dream City have been bold and talked about these issues, others have compromised the truth of the Word of God to accept and even idolize sin, and many more have remained silent, afraid to step into these important conversations.

Sloan and Debi also discuss the spiritual awakening that has happened in the wake of Charlie Kirk's very public assassination. So many are flocking to church, opening Bibles for the first time and giving their lives to Jesus. We are especially seeing a rise in the strength and determination of Gen Z to follow Charlie's example in life and in faith.
