Welcome to the POP Podcast, where Progression Over Perfection is the goal. Hosted by Michael Todd and Charles Metcalf, this podcast is built for real conversations about faith, leadership, relationships, purpose, culture, mental health, growth, and the tension of becoming who God created you to be.

This isn’t a podcast about pretending to have it all together. It’s about growing honestly, leading authentically, and learning how to make progress in every area of life.

Each episode brings practical wisdom, unfiltered conversations, leadership insight, personal stories, and biblical truth designed to help you: Grow in your faith, Build healthier relationships, Lead with purpose, Navigate pressure, Develop emotional and spiritual maturity, Keep moving forward, even imperfectly.

Whether you’re a leader, creative, entrepreneur, pastor, student, or someone just trying to figure life out, this space is for you. Because real growth doesn’t happen through perfection. It happens through progression.

  • Ep. 6: The Right Pressure Makes You, The Wrong Pressure Cooks You

    Ep. 6: The Right Pressure Makes You, The Wrong Pressure Cooks You
    Jul 10 2026
    "Pressure either cooks you or it makes you."
    In Episode 6 of the POP Podcast, Mike and Charles reframe pressure entirely. It's not the enemy, life includes pressure no matter where you are, and the right amount in the right place is exactly what God uses to make you. The goal isn't to escape pressure. It's to sort it, release the wrong kind, and let the right kind do its work.

    In this episode:
    - Why pressure is relative, and why you have to stop comparing yours
    - The difference between avoiding pressure and appropriate pressure (and why you need it)
    - Internal pressure: the made-up identity crisis nobody can see
    - External pressure, the holidays, and the conversations nobody wants to have
    - The pressure to perform vs. the pressure to produce, and why a little is a gift
    - Manufactured pressure, the deadlines you made up that are frying you
    - Recognize it, release it: why pressure only hurts when it builds up
    - "What God has for you will be there if you're healthy enough to hold it"

    If you're carrying pressure you can't name, running on fumes, or feeling crushed even when things look fine, this one will help you put pressure back in its right place.

    This conversation builds on Episode 5 (Rest). If you haven't heard it, start there.

    We believe in Progression Over Perfection. Through theology, therapy, and community, God can turn trauma into triumph.

    New episodes every Friday.

  • Ep. 5: You're Sleeping But You're Not Resting

    Ep. 5: You're Sleeping But You're Not Resting
    Jul 3 2026
    "Some people are sleeping that still aren't resting."
    In Episode 5 of the POP Podcast, Mike and Charles get hot, humble, open, and transparent about the most counter-cultural thing they do, rest. In a culture that glorifies the grind, they make the case that rest isn't laziness. It's a gift, a rhythm, and a commandment.

    In this episode:
    - Why sleep is part of rest, but not the whole thing
    - The "engine of insecurity" that drives so many of us, and what it costs
    - Why you can be wildly successful and have completely the wrong motive
    - Why the Sabbath is the commandment nobody talks about
    - How God modeled rest in creation (we were made to work FROM rest, not FOR it)
    - The sabbatical that started Relationship Goals, and the POP friendship
    - What rest actually looks like, practically, week to week
    - "You do all the work for the people, but the people just want you"

    If you're exhausted, running on coffee and adrenaline, successful but unable to enjoy it, this one's for you.

    We believe in Progression Over Perfection. Through theology, therapy, and community, God can turn trauma into triumph.

  • Ep. 4: Everybody Wants Friends For The Highlight, Not The Fight

    Ep. 4: Everybody Wants Friends For The Highlight, Not The Fight
    Jun 26 2026
    "Everybody wants friends for the highlight. It's a different thing to have a friend for the fight."
    In Episode 4 of the POP Podcast, Mike and Charles continue their conversation on community, this time about the friends who show up when it's inconvenient, when you're losing, and when there's nothing to gain.

    In this episode:
    - Why most people go to the valley alone, and why that's dangerous
    - The caterpillar and the ant (why some friendships can't survive your transformation)
    - Why your marriage becomes your primary relationship
    - The difference between friends for the highlight and friends for the fight
    - The 1 AM story: when Charles was at his lowest and his friends showed up
    - Why a real friend doesn't try to fix it, they bring presence, truth, and prayer
    - Leading vulnerably when everyone depends on you
    - "We are firemen", why you don't run from the fire, you run into it

    This episode is Part 2 of our conversation on community. If you haven't heard Episode 3 yet, start there.

    We believe in Progression Over Perfection. Through theology, therapy, and community, God can turn trauma into triumph.
