Starting our new series, Resilient Exiles, Brian explores 1 Peter 1 and what it means to live as faithful exiles in a world filled with uncertainty and suffering. Discover how the living hope found in Christ becomes a light for our path, a foundation for our faith, and a promise that carries us through every season of life. This message reminds us that Christian hope is not wishful thinking, it is a confident certainty grounded in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Following God's will does not guarantee an easy journey; in fact, obedience often leads into delays, difficulties, and apparent dead ends that test our trust. In this message Brian teaches that “walking” in God's will is not just about discernment or decisions, but about faithfully taking the next step even when the outcome is unclear.
Most fisheries are managed with a complicated web of science, industry, and politics... but what would it take to manage them in a utopian world? In this episode, fisheries scientist John Carlucci joins for a discussion about how industry collaboration, innovative research, and a human touch can define our approach to sustainable fishing.From growing up fishing in Connecticut to working at the Pelagic Fisheries Lab in Maine, John reveals the behind-the-scenes of tagging giant bluefin tuna, deciphering their age through otoliths, and the pivotal role industry partners play in collecting critical data. He illustrates how industry involvement isn't just incidental; it's the backbone of impactful science that informs management and rebuilds fish populations.
Brian explores the different kinds of decisions we face in life and how discernment often requires patience, surrender, and trust in God's timing. Through scripture, practical wisdom, and personal examples, it reminds us that waiting is not wasted time but a season where God shapes our hearts, clarifies our direction, and teaches us to walk by faith even without complete certainty
How do we recognize God's direction when life feels uncertain? This message by Brian explores how spiritual attentiveness, inner discernment, Scripture, life circumstances, and recurring patterns help us faithfully navigate the path of life.

It's easy to mistake awareness for action and anxiety for accountability. Even when we take action, it's easy to spiral into "this alone will not solve the problem." This episode is for the fighters. The ones who feel the weight of what's happening in the world and refuse to look away, whether you're building a company, working in foodtech, healthtech, femmetech, media, or simply trying to live in a way that reflects what you believe to lead systemic change. Lia Carlucci, a serial entrepreneur + founder of Food Campus Berlin, shares what systemic change looks like in foodtech / innovation. She grounds us in the science about what moves the needle on our food system. She'll spark a conversation at your dinner table about the habits around consumption we've normalized, and what they're costing us, not just environmentally, but energetically. This episode will show you >how to hold the urgency without drowning in it. >climate anxiety → climate action >anti-hustle but pro-impact, (how to actually be in your impact-era !) >how to build community, over competition, and actually have values-led impact >how to convert what feels like helplessness into what Lia calls constructive adrenaline–turning the problem you care most about into the thing you choose to build toward. We face daunting challenges as a collective. But the path through them is not heroic isolation, it's intersection between the scientist, the corporate innovator, the entrepreneur, the policymaker and investors. That starts much closer to home than we think: Our mindset and ability to widen our circle of influence. We increase our circle of influence by collaborating with others. With those who will meet your urgency with their own, and help you make an impact in the way that is most authentic to you.
Brian reminds us that God is always at work in people around us. We're called to see the value in others, remind them what home is really like, and celebrate what God restores. This message invites us to reflect on our role in the story, are we the younger son, the older son, or becoming more like the Father?
Brian unpacks the resurrection through the powerful lens of Luke 15, revealing a God who runs toward His children with compassion and grace. From the cross to the empty tomb, this message traces the journey from despair to hope and reminds us that nothing can separate us from the love of God. Easter isn't just an event—it's an invitation into new life with a Father who meets us on the road and welcomes us home.
Heute spreche ich mit meinem Freund Angelo Carlucci über die große Frage unserer Zeit: Was ist auf Instagram eigentlich noch echt – und was längst nur inszeniert? Zwischen Filtern, perfekten Feeds und scheinbar makellosen Leben schauen wir hinter die Kulissen einer Welt, die oft mehr Schein als Sein ist. Wir sprechen ehrlich, persönlich und auch kritisch darüber, wie sehr Social Media unser Selbstbild beeinflusst, und warum es so wichtig ist, sich selbst dabei nicht zu verlieren. Eine Folge über Wahrheit, Wahrnehmung und den Mut, wieder echter zu sein.
We Are All Prodigals, Brian is launching a new series on the parable in Luke 15, we discover how both sons are lost in different ways, and how the Father's relentless grace meets us wherever we are and calls us home.

In episode of the Pizza Marketplace Podcast, host Mandy Detwiler, editor of Pizza Marketplace, talks to Joe Carlucci, founder and owner of Valentina's Pizzeria & Wine Bar in Alabama. Carlucci, who has dozens of years in pizza, is a member of the World Pizza Champions and a leader in the industry.Carlucci opened Valentina's, named after his daughter, in the midst of COVID. Prior to that, he'd owned a pizza food truck and would take it to neighborhoods to provide pizzas to neighborhoods during the COVID lockdowns. He would sell more than 500 pizzas a week, and saved every dime to open his brick-and-mortar restaurant.What started in a 1,500-square-foot space with 12 employees has turned into a 196-seat, 50-plus-staffed full-service restaurant. The original location was across the street from a cotton field. Carlucci would arrive at 4:30 a.m. and make pizzas throughout the day. He's since moved to a larger location and has trained a handful of pizzaiolos whom he trusts to make the brand's signature pies. He sources as much as he can locally.Carlucci has entered and won several awards at the International Pizza Challenge at International Pizza Expo. When he creates a new pizza, though, it isn't with judges in mind — instead he thinks about the customers first. But when his pizza creations win awards, he puts them on the menu. It's been a great advertising outlet for Carlucci.Carlucci hired a mixologist to pair signature cocktails with his artisan pizzas, so there's a craft cocktail list, and curated beer and wine lists."I want to elevate this place. I don't want it to just be a pizzas place. ... It's not a pizza place. From the hostesses dresses to the bartenders in bow ties, to every single server, looks the exact same way," Carlucci said. "The standard is the standard here. We're not worried about what everybody else is doing. We're worried about what Valentina's is doing. How Valentina's could be better."To learn more about how Carlucci is changing the pizza game, listen to the podcast in its entirety.
This message explores the fragile nature of human life and contrasts it with the everlasting love and sovereignty of God. Drawing from thinkers like Viktor Frankl and Scripture such as Psalm 103, it argues that true meaning and stability are found not in achievements or experiences, but in anchoring our lives in God's eternal love.
This message from Psalm 103 invites us to examine the image of God we carry and rediscover Him as a compassionate Father rather than a distant authority. Through Scripture and story, we see that His mercy is greater than our failure and His steadfast love forms the foundation of our identity and security.
Joseph Carlucci is a hospitality visionary, golf culture insider, and former concert promoter whose career has been shaped by one defining principle: great experiences never happen by accident. With more than 35 years in hospitality and entertainment, Joe has built a reputation for blending storytelling, operational excellence, and an instinctive understanding of what makes people gather, stay, and return.
Brian shares how God makes Himself known to us through Scripture, the Spirit, Jesus, and the lives of ordinary people, and how your story can point others to Him.
Brian explores how God's heart for righteousness (tzedakah) and justice (mishpat) shapes both our worship and our life in the world. This message invites us to live as a distinct people marked by sacrificial love, compassion for the vulnerable, and faithful engagement in a complex public space.
One of the most popular guests on the podcast has been Joe Carlucci, owner of Valentina's Pizzeria & Wine Bar. Joe made his first appearance back in 2022 on episode 22 and made an instant impact with the audience. He came back for two more episodes to have Joe update Troy on the progress of his new store and it also seemed only fitting to have Joe join Troy for the big milestone 100th episode. In this episode, we focus on a fundraiser to support January "Human Trafficking Awareness Month". The fundraiser was in connection with Destiny Rescue group out of Indiana. Why is this subject so controversial? Troy and Joe discuss this and many other things to include a secret plan for perhaps another restaurant in the not so distant future.For more information on Joe and Valentina's visit https://valentinaspizzeria.comHost/Interviewer: M.

We always celebrate at our museums the rich history of American innovation, but we're putting a special spotlight on that history as we approach the nation's semiquincentennial in 2026. To help us with that, we spoke on our podcast, AMSEcast, with Kathleen Carlucci, the Director of the Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park. Thanks to his host of revolutionary innovations and inventions, Thomas Edison changed our world with technologies like the phonograph, motion pictures, electric light, and the list truly goes on and on. Altogether he obtained 1,093 US patents, and 1,250 patents in 34 other countries. At Menlo Park in New Jersey, Edison gathered an incredible team in one place to conceive and create these inventions, starting the whole concept of research and development and what we call today “Big Science.”
In this message from Hebrews 2, Pastor Brian challenges us to anchor our lives in the gospel and resist the subtle drift that pulls us away from Christ. He reminds us that the gospel isn't just the starting point of faith—it's the center, the foundation, and the daily call to fix our eyes on Jesus.
