What does it look like for the Church to faithfully live in the world without becoming shaped by it?In this episode, Daniel Williams sits down with Phil Metzger, Lead Pastor of Calvary San Diego and featured speaker at the CGN International Ministry Conference, to discuss mission, culture, church planting, and the role of the Church in today's world.Drawing from over twenty years of missionary service in Eastern Europe, Phil shares how God has shaped his understanding of ministry, the importance of listening across cultural differences, and why the Church must remain sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit in every generation.Phil also offers a preview of his upcoming conference message, exploring what it means for the Church to engage the world missionally, methodologically, and as a movement—while remaining distinct from the values of the world around us.

What does it look like to pursue unity in a divided world?In this episode of the CGN Podcast, Daniel Williams and Brian Brodersen sit down with Evan Wickham—pastor of Park Hill Church in San Diego and worship leader—to discuss the beauty and challenge of cultivating unity within the body of Christ.Evan shares stories from eight years of church planting, navigating seasons of leadership transition, and preparing to become a grandfather. Together, they explore why clarity and love must go hand in hand, how worship can bring believers together across denominational lines, and why rediscovering the richness of the historic church can strengthen our witness today.From citywide prayer gatherings and songwriting sessions with Christians from different traditions to practical encouragement for pastors seeking deeper relationships within the broader church, this conversation is a timely reminder that Jesus' prayer for unity still matters.As we prepare for the CGN International Ministry Conference 2026, this episode invites us to consider what it means to be the church in the world—for such a time as this.Join us for the CGN International Ministry Conference, June 28–July 1, 2026, at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa.For registration and conference details, visit:CGN International Ministry Conference

Who is to blame for the Mariners walk-off loss to the tigers on Sunday? There was some questionable bullpen usage, including putting Criswell in when Bazardo was ready AND not utilizing Munoz enough, so that he had to come in after not pitching for 5 days. What more do they need? The numbers have to show Muni doesn't do well with a lot of days off between outings and Andres himself has said he needs to pitch more! What about not only using him in save situations? What about not only using him as a closer? :30- Mariners Morning After This wasn't just on the bullpen, but they did play a big part in it. The M's went up 4-0 and then things got sloppy. :45- What does Chuck think about Russell Wilson's retirement? Is he Hall of Fame worthy? Will there be a time where he will be welcomed back and celebrated here in town? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does it look like to be the Church in the world today?In this episode of the CGN Podcast, Daniel Williams sits down with Brad Hall, pastor of One Love Church in Sydney, Australia, and a main session speaker for the 2026 CGN International Ministry Conference. Brad shares his journey from planting churches in Hawaii and Australia to teaching Christian Studies in a local high school, where he engages daily with students wrestling with questions about faith, science, truth, and meaning.As Brad reflects on this year's conference theme, For Such a Time as This: The Church in the World, he emphasizes the importance of authenticity. In a culture flooded with competing voices, misinformation, and skepticism, Brad believes the Church has an opportunity to stand out by simply being genuine in its faith, relationships, and witness.The conversation explores the unique spiritual landscape of Australia, the hunger young people have for answers, and how ordinary conversations can become powerful opportunities for ministry. Brad also offers encouragement for pastors and church leaders who may be feeling weary, reminding them that God remains faithful and that perseverance in ministry is never wasted.About Brad HallBrad Hall began serving in pastoral ministry in 1995 and planted a church in Maui, Hawaii, in 1998, where he served for 12 years. In 2010, Brad and his wife, Christy, moved to Sydney, Australia. After several years serving in local churches, they planted One Love Church in 2017, where Brad continues to serve as lead pastor.

In this episode of the CGN Podcast, hosts Daniel Williams and Brian Brodersen sit down with pastor, author, and conference speaker Heath Hardesty to discuss ministry, church leadership, discipleship, and what it means to faithfully follow Jesus in a fractured world.Heath shares the story of planting a next-generation ministry in the heart of Silicon Valley, navigating the challenges of merging church communities, and learning patience, humility, and trust through seasons of leadership. He reflects on how God has renewed his love for the ordinary work of pastoring and the joy of shepherding people faithfully.The conversation explores the growing fragmentation of modern culture and Heath's vision for the Church to become a compelling witness of integration, beauty, truth, and goodness in a divided world. Drawing from themes in his book All Things Together, Heath encourages believers to embrace apprenticeship to Jesus—not as an optional spiritual extra, but as the very essence of Christian life.They also discuss the importance of ministry friendships, learning communities, and conferences as places of encouragement and growth, along with Heath's unique outreach through Inkling's Coffee & Tea, a church-founded coffee shop designed to cultivate beauty, meaningful conversations, and Gospel presence in the community.Whether you're a pastor, ministry leader, or simply seeking encouragement in your walk with Jesus, this conversation offers practical wisdom for staying faithful, slowing down, cultivating wonder, and continuing to trust God in difficult seasons.

Brian also shares honestly about navigating the recent loss of his son-in-law and the hope found in Christ amid grief.This conversation is a reminder that worship is more than music—it is learning to trust Jesus in every season and remembering His faithfulness, even in suffering.Resources & LinksRegister for the 2026 CGN International Conference: conference.calvarychapel.comLearn more about Calvary Chapel Global Network: cgn.orgConnect With UsSubscribe to the CGN Podcast for conversations on discipleship, ministry, theology, evangelism, and the work God is doing through the global church.

Give to help Chris make Truce Boy, the Religious Right did not like Carter, at least by 1980. Some of them, like Pat Robertson, had high hopes for him at the start. But they quickly grew to distrust the man from Georgia. Why? In this episode, Chris goes through some of the top issues that evangelicals had with Jimmy Carter. They include his article in Playboy Magazine that mentions his struggles with sex (but also featured a strong gospel message), his support of the ERA, and his lackluster responses to their questions about abortion. But... It's not as if Ronald Reagan was significantly better. Reagan was not a regular churchgoer like Carter. He consulted a medium for his decisions. He was a divorced former actor in a time when evangelicals didn't like Hollywood. So... how bad was this Carter guy that they didn't vote for him? Our special guest for this episode is historian and author Rick Perlstein. Sources: Today story on Carter's church Tampa Bay Times story on Carter's church Associated Press story on Carter's church Christianity Today article on Carter's 100th birthday Reaganland by Rick Perlstein Document the interview the Religious Right guys did Criswell ad Strom Thurmond ad Playboy Magazine, November 1976 Reagan: An American Journey by Bob Spitz White House Conference on Families: Listening to America's Families. Pamphlet God's Own Party by Daniel K Williams The Evangelicals by Frances Fitzgerald The Surprising Work of God by Garth Rosell Jimmy Carter Library interview with Robert Maddox Carter's speech to NAE (courtesy of Jimmy Carter Presidential Library) Discussion Questions: Why did some evangelicals so strongly oppose the ERA? What did you see in the Playboy article that might be construed as unappealing to Christians? If Reagan engaged in fortunetelling, why did some evangelicals follow him and not Carter? Why have evangelicals become enamored of leaders? What has that done to our witness? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Polish off cryptid pizza with Andy Duncan as we discuss how his titles are often born decades before the stories to which they're eventually attached, how his research into Criswell's predictions "ethically stymied" him, why the way he creates stories isn't a way he'd encourage anyone else to follow, the epiphany which caused him to realize a perceived bug in his story was actually a feature, what he hoped sending his story through the Sycamore Hill Writing Workshop would unlock, why he's willing to publicly read aloud sections of stories he hasn't completed, the essential exclamation point suggested by John Kessel, at what stage in the revision process specific details of setting get added, whether the story would have taken even longer to complete without the eventual pressure of a deadline, what about the story made it fitting for a Tanith Lee tribute anthology, the editorial acumen of Gardner Dozois, and much more.

The Drive: Alex Bregman has to be the defined leader of the clubhouse. What else can he do? Asked Ted. Bregman has never missed the playoffs in his career, he has to lead the attitude in the clubhouse. Him and Cora have to work together as a unit. The Rangers spent and got Merrill Kelly. Resetting on Parsons. Maybe the Patriots will fulfil Andy's dreams Cooper Criswell is starting for the Red Sox. What is he all about? Gotta feel bad for him right now. Long reliever type guy. Crochet load management talk. Ted took the fastest victory lap of all time last night when we thought Joe Ryan was ours. Will Flemming joins the show How is he feeling about the trade deadline? He is very upset with the Red Sox and thinks the team could have added more, but they did everything they could to make big moves. Joe Ryan is the guy they want. The Twins made the Red Sox uncomfortable. The national reporters got everything wrong. The trade deadline is its own animal. He does not think people should be so hard on Breslow. All the players are fine.

Here is how the show looked today HR 1 - The Breslow slander hour HR 2 - The Case for the Patriots to Acquire McLaurin HR 3 - We deserved more at the deadline | Cora's point of view HR 4 - Bregman the leader | Criswell is on the mound | Flemming joins the show
