What if making disciples doesn't require a pulpit, a theology degree, or having all the answers?

In Episode 7 of Grace in the Grind, Tim and Paulie welcome Pastor Tyler Hanson back for a conversation about what it really looks like to share Jesus in everyday life.

Paulie shares a powerful story about reaching out to a struggling friend, staying connected through a difficult season, and eventually celebrating that friend's baptism. Even more incredible? That person's faith went on to influence two others.

It's a reminder that God can use something as simple as a text message to begin something much bigger.

We also discuss why your past doesn't disqualify you, how to share your testimony, the importance of building genuine relationships, and practical ways to grow through prayer, Scripture, and wise counsel.

Plus, Tyler explains why honest questions shouldn't threaten our faith—and challenges each of us to find someone God has already placed in our lives to pour into.

You don't need to be a pastor to make disciples. You just need to be willing to show up.

How do you know the difference between a good idea and a God idea?

And what happens when God's plan isn't the one you would have chosen?

In Episode 6 of Grace in the Grind, we're joined again by Pastor Seth Philip of Waypoint Church in Las Vegas for a conversation about calling, faith, fear, and what it actually looks like to follow God's leading.

Seth shares his journey from helping plant churches in Japan to launching Waypoint Church in Las Vegas — including the places he wanted to go, the unexpected doors that opened, and the lessons he learned about trusting God's direction.

We talk about recognizing opportunities, understanding our gifts, seeking wise counsel, and why discerning God's will doesn't always require a dramatic sign from heaven.

But this conversation isn't just about becoming a pastor or planting a church.

It's about the role every believer has in the Great Commission, how God uses ordinary people with different gifts, and why your story might reach someone in a way a pastor's sermon never could.

One of Seth's biggest challenges to us:

“Why do you need a voice when you already have a verse?”

And his encouragement is just as simple: Take a risk for Jesus. Step through the door. See what God does.

In this episode:

• What church planting actually looks like
• How to recognize God's calling
• The difference between a good idea and a God idea
• Why God's plan may be different from our preferences
• Fear, uncertainty, and stepping out in faith
• The importance of accountability in church leadership
• Why the Great Commission belongs to every Christian
• How to serve God using the gifts you already have

Is your faith really yours, or is it something you've inherited from your family, your upbringing, or the church you've always attended?

In this episode of Grace in the Grind, Tim and Paulie sit down with Pastor Drew Schroeder from The Crossing Church in Las Vegas for a conversation about youth ministry, cultural Christianity, and helping the next generation build a genuine relationship with Jesus.

Drew shares how his journey took him from film school to ministry, how challenging experiences in church shaped his calling, and why he believes today's students aren't just the next generation of Christians — they're the now generation.

We talk about the pressures young people face in a world of social media, artificial intelligence, and constant distractions, and why creating a consistent, Christ-centered community matters more than ever.

But this conversation isn't just about teenagers.

Drew challenges all of us to examine whether we're living out our own faith or simply relying on the faith of the people around us.

As he puts it, "Jesus doesn't save last names. He saves first names."

Along the way, we also get into movies, video games, growing up in church, and the importance of having people in your life who will help bring you back to Jesus.

It's a conversation about the next generation, but it's a question for every generation:

Is your faith really yours?

What does it really mean to move from fear to faith?

In this episode of Grace in the Grind, Tim and Paulie sit down with Pastor Dan Ward from The Crossing Church in Las Vegas to talk about the struggles we all face, the patterns we get stuck in, and the freedom that comes from learning to trust God.

Drawing from his own journey through addiction and his work with Celebrate Recovery, Dan shares how our deepest struggles aren't always the most obvious ones. Sometimes they're fear, insecurity, perfectionism, anger, or the constant need for approval.

Together, we explore why change can be so difficult, how the stories we tell ourselves shape our lives, the importance of vulnerability and community, and what it looks like to replace fear and striving with gratitude, surrender, and faith.

Through it all, Dan reminds us of three powerful truths: You are known. You are loved. You are enough.

Wherever you are in your walk with Jesus, we hope this conversation reminds you that growth is possible, grace is available, and you don't have to walk through life's struggles alone.

Is showing up to church on Sunday enough to grow in your faith?

In Episode #3 of Grace in the Grind, Tim and Paulie welcome Kat and Pastor Luc DiMarzio from The Crossing Church in Las Vegas for a conversation about finding your people, building genuine Christian friendships, and why community is such an important part of following Jesus.

Kat shares how God led her into ministry and how she's seen lives transformed through Rooted and small groups. Tim and Paulie also share how their own Rooted experience brought them together, strengthened their faith, and eventually inspired this very podcast.

Along the way, we talk about the fear of joining a small group, learning to be vulnerable, dealing with difficult church experiences, and why God sometimes uses uncomfortable situations to help us grow.

Whether you're searching for a church home, thinking about joining a small group, or looking to take the next step in your faith, we hope this conversation encourages you to get connected.

Because following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey.

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

What’s your next step with Jesus?

In Episode #2 of Grace in the Grind, Tim and Paulie sit down with Pastor Tyler Hansen to talk about what discipleship actually looks like in everyday life—and why following Jesus is about more than showing up on Sunday.

We talk about finding people who can help you grow, becoming that person for someone else, baptism, Christian community, serving, sharing your faith, and finding a church where you can put down roots.

Tyler also shares his own journey into ministry, and Tim shares how Tyler’s friendship and mentorship helped lead him to baptism—and eventually helped create a chain of discipleship that brought Tim and Paulie together.

Along the way, we get into what it means to be discipled, why podcasts and books can supplement—but never replace—real relationships and community, and why you don’t need to have everything figured out before taking another step toward Jesus.

Wherever you are in your walk with Christ, there’s a next step.

What if your job isn’t separate from your faith — but actually one of the places you’re called to live it out?

In our first full episode of Grace in the Grind, we sit down with Pastor Seth Philip to talk about work, purpose, calling, and what it looks like to serve God in the ordinary things we do every day.

We talk about why work was part of God’s design from the beginning, how even ordinary or frustrating work can become worship, and why following Jesus doesn’t stop when Monday morning rolls around.

Whether you’re cutting hair, working in sales, raising kids, washing dishes, running a business, or doing a job you don’t particularly love, your work can have purpose far beyond a paycheck.

Maybe the question isn’t simply, “What does God want me to do with my life?”

Maybe it’s also, “How can God use me right where I am?”
