Victory Tulsa: Paul Daugherty

This episode of the Best Days podcast was recorded live in Tulsa, OK at Victory Church's Midweek service the night before Thanksgiving in 2025. John and Arvin preached on the importance of hope and endurance in the Christian life.

Victory's Creative Pastor John Daugherty and his assistant Arvin Sepehr spend episode 8 of the Best Days podcast series reminiscing on a lifetime of being pastor's kids in their parents' prayer meetings, the bravery it takes to stay faithfully planted in a church community long-term, and the sort of life that can only be experienced on the other side of submission to God-ordained principles. 

In episode 7, John and Arvin dive into Christian upbringing, the importance of knowing when to end something, and the gratitude one should feel to the generation who raised them.

In episode 6, Victory's Creative Pastor John Daugherty and his assistant Arvin Sepehr discuss the value of approaching busy holiday seasons with the right perspective. The two also discuss Pastor Paul's new series of messages on Jesus and the End Times, the importance of the Church's response to the practical needs of humanity, and the value of having a gentle heart in a world full of chaos. 

In episode 5, Victory's Creative Pastor John Daugherty and his assistant Arvin discuss the way God matures believers who've become familiar with Church and are starting to feel their excitement fade. Using examples from their own lives, both men stress the importance choosing harmony when the opportunity to sow tension and quarreling shows up. 

In episode 4, Victory's Creative Pastor John Daugherty and his assistant Arvin discuss the best approach when it comes to serving on staff at a church (or anywhere, really). They lay out the difference between a shepherd and a hireling and the importance of taking ownership and initiative with open hands.

John Daugherty is the Creative Pastor at Victory Church in Tulsa, OK. In this podcast, he and his assistant discuss Christian maturity as it pertains to the modern media landscape, virality, Christians publicly fighting other Christians, gossip, and the trend of God's mercy for humanity beneath every era of Church history.

John and Arvin close season 9 with a discussion about the importance and impact of being on a team. Most people who grow up playing sports don't end up playing professionally as a career, but the principles and character developed in the process enable them to approach life with the right perspective. After deriving several parallels between sports and ministry teams, the two men discuss the overarching goal God seeks to accomplish in a human's life: aligning each human soul with His heart in order for them to trust God not only as their Lord, but also their Father.

In episode 9, John and Arvin delve into the realities of leadership in ministry, the important sacrifices every person must make in order to last long in any profession, and the long-term fruit of staying faithful in the place God plants you. 

In episode 8, John and Arvin discuss the parallels between physical stretching and the preparation season one must encounter before entering their God-given assignment in life. The conversation weaves through topics such as setting a stable pace for your life, rediscovering more Godly motivations, and trusting God to prepare you for what only He knows lies ahead for your life.

In episode 7, John and Arvin discuss the skillful art of "WINGING IT." While the conversation begins with ministry adjacent responsibilities, it eventually morphs into a larger-scale discussion about how one approaches a rhythm and pace of life and the potential underlying motives beneath being in desperate need to control everything.
