Today on the podcast, I'm joined by Krissy Miles—speaker, author, and leader with the Nfluence Network. From growing up in a home marked by poverty, trauma, and instability, Krissy's journey is one of radical repentance, transformation, and total submission to God.She shares candidly about the pain of her past, the deep emotional wounds she carried, and how her desire to escape it all only led her deeper into confusion and despair. But when Krissy surrendered her life fully to Jesus, everything changed. In just four months, the trajectory of her life shifted dramatically—including the miraculous way she met her husband.Krissy now equips others to walk in freedom through biblical discipleship, obedience, and hearing God's voice clearly. Her testimony is a powerful reminder that no matter how far we feel from God, He's still able to reach us—and restore us.

Discipleship can be both rewarding and challenging, especially in today's ever-changing church landscape. As leaders, we often find ourselves navigating cultural shifts, combating spiritual apathy, and seeking new ways to foster genuine community. In multi-site churches, these challenges can be even more pronounced, requiring intentional strategies and innovative approaches to ministry.In this episode of Group Answers, we invite you to explore how one church is addressing these very issues. Host Brian Daniel sits down with Matt Vairetta, Executive Pastor of Ministries at Church of the City in Franklin, Tennessee, to discuss how they are combating cultural Christianity, building strong community groups, and equipping leaders in a multi-campus environment. Whether you're leading a small group or overseeing ministry initiatives, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to think differently about discipleship in today's world.SHOW LINKS:Connect with Brian DanielCLICK HERE to read the report from Lifeway Research about the state of groups.

Mailbag questions or topic suggestions? Text us!When conflict arises in your ministry, how do you respond? Tim Hester, Executive Pastor at Southeast Christian Church, offers a biblical framework for restoration that focuses on healing rather than punishment.Drawing from decades of experience shepherding both church staff and congregation members, Tim walks us through the delicate process of addressing sin and repairing broken relationships. The conversation provides practical wisdom on preparing your heart before difficult conversations, creating balanced environments where truth can emerge, and recognizing genuine transformation in those seeking restoration.Tim explains how youth ministers can discern when to handle situations themselves versus when to involve church leadership, always maintaining the goal of bringing people back into right relationship with God and others.Unlike harsh discipline approaches that often leave people damaged, true restoration recognizes the image of God in each person while still holding appropriate boundaries. Tim shares personal experiences that illustrate both the challenges and beauty of this process, including how one youth pastor's commitment to biblical discipleship transformed all twelve of his children's lives.For youth ministers navigating the inevitable conflicts that arise in ministry, this conversation offers hope that with prayer, biblical wisdom, and gentle persistence, restoration is possible. What's at stake isn't just resolving immediate problems, but teaching the next generation how to handle conflict in ways that honor God and preserve relationships.

Text us your feedback or questions - we'd love to hear from you.Divorce can feel overwhelming—even when faith is a big part of your life. Many people turn to their church for guidance, but what if you don't feel comfortable talking to your pastor? What if the advice you're given doesn't match up with what you know is best for you and your family? What is there is abuse? In this episode, Kelly Bennett, Esq., continues her conversation with Denny Brewer—a longtime family law attorney, Executive Pastor, and General Counsel at Fellowship Church in Grapevine, Texas. They explore what faith communities often get wrong—and right—when it comes to divorce (hint: especially if there is abuse involved), how to navigate faith-based guilt, what to do if your place of worship isn't the right fit for support, and why mediation can be the best choice for handling divorce for privacy and mental (and financial!) well-being reasons. Kelly and Denny chat about:Why many people feel uncomfortable discussing divorce with their faith leaders Why pastors and religious leaders should ask, “Is there abuse?”How abuse can go unmentioned and lead to tragedy When to seek professional guidance outside of your faith community Why mediation is often a better option than going to court Why there is no better time to embrace faith and lean into prayer than during divorce Plus, a couple of very surprising stories… Dennis Brewer is longtime family law attorney, and executive pastor and general counsel at Texas mega Church Fellowship Church in Grapevine, Texas.

Welcome to Wellspring Church!What happens when comparison takes root in our hearts? In this message, Pastor Katie Gayle, Executive Pastor of Ministry, explores the dangers of envy—how it distorts our identity, disrupts our relationships, and robs us of gratitude.Looking at James 3 and John 8, we see that envy stems from a comparative mindset, making us feel less than or lacking. But Jesus offers true freedom—an identity rooted in God's unconditional love, not in how we measure up to others.

Whether you're struggling with guilt, a fear of being judged by your faith community, or questioning what your beliefs say about divorce, you're not alone. What if the very thing you're afraid of could actually be a source of healing and strength? In this episode, Kelly Bennett, Esq., chats with Denny Brewer, Board Certified Family Law Specialist, about the impact of divorce on faith. They break down common struggles—like shame, isolation, and judgment—and give real-life insights on getting through divorce while staying true to your beliefs. Key Takeaways from This Episode:The “Shame Factor” in Divorce – Why people feel judged and isolated during divorce—and how to break free from that mindset.Faith's Role in Divorce – How some churches/places of worship get it wrong by ostracizing divorced members—and how others actually provide support and healing.Are You Stuck in Victim Mode? – How to recognize if you're wallowing in self-pity or using your faith to find strength and purpose.The Power of Forgiveness – What true forgiveness really means (and why it's actually for you, not your ex).The Right “They” – Why surrounding yourself with the right people during and after divorce is critical to healing and rebuilding your life.Faith-Based Therapy & Divorce Recovery – Why religious counseling alone may not be enough and how faith-based therapy can help you move forward.Making Your Misery Your Ministry – How your greatest struggle can become your greatest source of strength in helping others. Whether you're the one filing or the one who never wanted the divorce, this chat will help you find strength, clarity, and a way forward.Denny Brewer is an Executive Pastor and General Counsel at Fellowship Church in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, and a partner at BrewerLang.
