Roland Classen left a mark on this world and in the lives of so many of us. He always pointed us to Jesus and did it with grace, conviction, humor and gentleness of spirit. I am forever a different person for having the privilege of knowing and being taught by him and I know I'm not alone in this. To have known Roland, was to be near Jesus. Simple as that. He was something special. Since I couldn't get him on the podcast, I did the next best thing and dug up one of his sermons from 2002. My prayer is that in this episode, you experience truth and God's love. Thank you, Roland, for being our shepherd and leader for so long. Your legacy lives on in the lives of those who knew you.

I love hearing his thoughts and musings on God's character and this episode is not short on either. I knew it would be a great discussion and I was right! Steve is a learner of Jesus Christ, husband to Andrea, father to Elijah and Elise, and pastor of worship and adult discipleship to the congregation at Mountain View Community Church in Snohomish, WA. He worked as a recording artist in the Christian music industry with the band FFH in the late 90's before moving from Nashville, TN back to his rural hometown area of Huntingdon, PA, where he worked as director of youth ministries for about 14 years, the latter 12 of which were at Huntingdon Christian and Missionary Alliance. In 2014, he and his family, with their tetherball-loving rat terrier named Maestro, headed west to grow and serve alongside the wonderful community of people at MVCC. Steve is an introverted internal processor and an avid cyclist, enjoying the headspace afforded by many hours alone in the saddle. We talked so much about introvert vs. extrovert and how we each worship and live life with Jesus in different ways. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

    Meet Pastor Brian Hebert, a beacon of light in our community and a profound influencer in my life. Brian's wisdom and guidance have touched countless lives, including mine. His steadfast faith, unwavering commitment to God's word, and Christ-centered teaching point others to Jesus. Brian's love for diverse cultures and flavors led him to run a food blog focused on Houston's international foods. With a rich tapestry of experiences, he has traveled to over 50 countries and lived overseas several times, adding depth to his understanding of the world and its people. Two years ago, Pastor Brian, his wife Christy, and their five children took a leap of faith and moved to the Snohomish area, where they have found a true sense of home and community. This bold move reflects their adventurous spirit and deep-rooted belief in following where God leads them. In this episode, we dive deep into Pastor Brian's journey, exploring the moments that shaped his faith and leadership. From his early days in ministry to the challenges he's faced, Pastor Brian shares candidly, offering insights that inspire and uplift. This is more than a conversation; it's a testament to the power of faith, the strength of community, and the beauty of a life lived in service to others.

Did you, also, know that you can have positive energy and draining energy? It's true. Here's the deal, when you enter into a moment of P.A.U.S.E. because you're overwhelmed with life or teetering on the brink of burnout, you are probably entering with that draining energy, frustrated energy, negative energy....BUT when you come out of a moment of P.A.U.S.E. you should be exiting different.

    I've been waiting impatiently for this episode to make its way into the world. Elle has a beautiful way of sharing her heart and story. This episode is all about mental health and pulling back the veil on what it looks like to do the work and be a work in progress. I'm grateful my sweet friend felt brave to share and leaned into the hard. The world is a better place with her in it. Elle Levins is the founder and creator behind Beyond the Knots, a business dedicated to sharing the timeless and beautiful art of macrame for others to enjoy. What originally started as an outlet and a form of coping through the struggles of mental health that Elle faces day-to-day, she found a new perspective that helped begin her healing. With each piece she made she found purpose and a way to share her passion of being there for others who battle the stigma that surrounds mental health. We all have “knots” in our lives that we try to untangle or ignore. Overtime they only get worse. Choosing to accept those knots for what they are; a part of you, we can begin to find that together they can form into something truly beautiful. Elle's goal is simple, she wants to have a positive impact on everyone she meets through her art- whether that be a changed heart, or a simple smile. Her pieces are a little reminder that there is a lot of light for us, if we can only look Beyond the Knots.” In this episode, she talks about music as a tool for working through moments of struggle. Here's one of her playlists on Spotify. I've been listening and love it!
