Worship leader and songwriter Phil Wickham is back—this time with his wife Mallory, who pulls back the curtain on life at home while Phil is on the road. From privacy and boundaries to joyful chaos with kids, they talk honestly about the unseen sacrifices that make visible ministry possible. You'll hear the story of their relationship (from hesitant boyfriend to wholehearted husband), the reality of Summer Worship Nights—miracles, momentum, and whooping cough—and the everyday stuff: mice in the garage, sprinter van shenanigans, and why a five-gallon bucket is elite family gear. It's tender, funny, and full of faith for marriages and homes that put Jesus at the center. Connect with us on social!

How do you know if you're truly saved? In a world where it's harder than ever to tell what's real and what's fake, the apostle John tells us that there will be signs. In this message from 1 John 3, Pastor Levi Lusko unpacks what life looks like when you're walking at the pace of the Holy Spirit. Love becomes the defining marker—not because it makes you a child of God, but because you already are one. Just like a home shows signs of being lived in, your life will show signs of God's Spirit dwelling inside you.NEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon't miss a video!

Ever wonder if your faith is real or just wishful thinking? John the apostle—the last man standing who physically walked with Jesus—has something to say about that. In week one of Touch Grass, Pastor Levi takes us to 1 John 1:1-10 and helps us see why "if it's new, it's not true; if it's true, it's not new" when it comes to theology.

Feeling overlooked, unqualified, or unsure of what God's calling you to? Looking at the story of Saul and Ananias (a man mentioned in only a few verses who changed the course of history by his obedience) in Acts 9, Tim Ross shows us three life-altering truths: God sees what people skip, obedience doesn't require agreement, and you're not the star (and that's actually a relief!).

What do you do when life punches you so hard, you don't think you'll ever get up? That's what we talked about in this raw, holy, and surprisingly hope-filled conversation with pastor and author Levi Lusko. After losing his 5-year-old daughter and recently his father, Levi brings more than theology—he brings lived truth. This episode is a deep dive into what it actually means to move forward when it feels impossible. We covered: What Levi learned from the Statue of David that changed the way he views grief forever Why “spiraling” might not be the enemy—it might be the invitation The difference between being angry at God and angry with God How to manage a panic attack when everything feels like too much What most people get wrong about success, wealth, and midlife This conversation hit hard. Whether you're grieving, feeling stuck, or wondering how to walk through something that just broke your heart—you're not alone, and there's a way forward.  Resources Mentioned: Levi's book: Blessed Are the Spiraling – https://amzn.to/3WYTqDW Levi's church: Fresh Life Church – https://freshlife.church/ Levi's Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/levilusko/ Jamie Winship (mentioned by Linda): https://www.jamiewinship.com/ Our financial discipleship class: https://seedtime.com/programs Our book: Simple Money, Rich Life – https://amzn.to/3VCYBxz  

*This episode mentions suicide and depression and may not be suitable for all listeners. This week, we sit down with podcaster Lola Sheen, daughter of actors Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards. Lola bravely shares her story, detailing the unique challenges of growing up under public scrutiny and its impact on her mental health. She opens up about a pivotal turning point in her life—discovering her faith and the profound difference it has made. Now, Lola is channeling her experiences into her own podcast and online platforms, passionately dedicated to supporting others who may be walking a similar path. Later in the episode, pastor, author, and founder of Fresh Life Church, Levi Lusko, returns to the show to speak about how he hit a wall in midlife, reevaluating his identity, and learning to live within the limits of time. Levi also shares practical tools that helped him move forward—and invites us to consider the hidden gifts that can come from life’s hardest seasons.

I didn’t [know] my worth. I believed all these other things that everybody would say about me. I never had someone be like, ‘No, this is the truth. This is who you are.’” - Lola Sheen “I didn’t see Him, but I felt Him. It felt like Jesus came and took my hand, and I can’t even explain it—my room just had this overwhelming sense of peace and safety and I knew I was going to be okay.” - Lola Sheen “I felt such a calling on my life to minister to people who have experienced depression and anxiety and to help them and show them that you are never too far gone for Jesus.” - Lola Sheen “I just want to show that His heart is like a father. He wants to be there for you, help you and to show you what real love looks like.” - Lola Sheen “I would say the habit that has kept me focused on the more positive things is spending so much time alone with God and letting Him fill my mind before anybody else does. When things get hard, I just have to look up and remember that I serve an audience of One.” - Lola Sheen “The last two years, I look back on it as a really important time—a milestone that I smile when I think about—because joy came from digging once again in the field for fresh treasure, which is what Jesus said the Kingdom of Heaven is like.” - Levi Lusko “It’s really important for us to remember that we are in an upside-down kingdom. So everything is inverted. Want to find your life? Lose it. Want to keep your life? It is not going to be yours anymore. You want to be great? Serve.” - Levi Lusko “That kind of became a rally cry for me, going all in for fresh treasure, because there’s no end to the treasure of knowing Jesus.” - Levi Lusko “If you feel like you’ve hit a wall, it might mean you’ve just gone as far as you can go with the tools you currently possess and the season of life that you’re in. That’s okay to mourn the ending of whatever it is that is making you feel bad. We tend to belittle our grief if it’s not worthy of making us sad.” - Levi Lusko “Maybe I’m feeling so much despair because I’m trying to make permanent what was meant to be a season.” - Levi Lusko “After you’ve mourned what’s behind you, let God build up excitement for what’s in front of you, because with Jesus, the best really is always yet to come.” - Levi Lusko ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!
