The mission of this podcast is to highlight the beauty and diversity of God's Church – both in Chattanooga and the Church at large.What keeps people from getting involved at churches like Fairview Church of the Nazarene? In this episode, Adam and Seth talk about preaching from the lectionary before exploring how a consumerist mentality influences how Christians and pastors view church and even their faith.As Seth describes it, consumerism asks the question, “What's in it for me?” When churchgoers have this mindset, they look for places with satisfying and exciting experiences and avoid churches like Fairview where opportunities to serve abound and rubbing elbows with messy people is guaranteed. And when Christians fail to choose a kingdom perspective over a consumerist one, they can make the mistakes of compartmentalizing their faith and putting themselves before others. Pastors aren't exempt from this mentality: the pressure to focus on numbers and attendance instead of discipleship is something Seth and other leaders have to fight against.Listen in to this episode to hear more about what a kingdom mindset looks like and learn why Seth preaches from the lectionary.

The mission of this podcast is to highlight the beauty and diversity of God's Church – both in Chattanooga and the Church at large.Love God and love others – that's Seth's approach to ministry. But as anyone who's worked in a church or nonprofit knows, outreach is rarely easy. In this episode, Seth explains how his church has served the community and discusses some struggles with church programming.Low-income retirees, recent convicts, and children from rough households all live in the area that surrounds Fairview Church. Figuring out how to serve these different groups can be challenging, but it can also happen organically. A relationship with two children and their grandfather led to Fairview starting an after-school program to address learning issues for kids who lacked support and supervision.Listen in to this conversation to hear Seth talk about how this program ended and why pastors often struggle to accept seasons of rest.

The mission of this podcast is to highlight the beauty and diversity of God's Church – both in Chattanooga and the Church at large.He may not be one of the Avengers, but as you'll hear in this interview, Pastor Seth Thompson is a hero to Adam and many others. In this episode, Seth shares some of the challenges he faces in ministry and what he does to deal with the weightiness.Born and raised at Fairview Church of the Nazarene, Seth studied at Trevecca University before returning to his childhood church as a pastor in 2015. Since its foundation in 1951, Fairview has remained a small, country church in an underprivileged part of the greater Chattanooga area. The focus of Fairview's outreach is the families and children who live in trailer parks and other rough neighborhoods around the church. This is an incredibly challenging avenue of ministry, so Seth keeps himself surrounded by other pastors who provide encouragement and discipleship and help safeguard against the temptation to rely on the self.Listen in to this episode to hear more about Seth and why he thinks it's critical to find your identity in the cross of Christ. About Adam WhitescarverAdam is passionate about seeing God's people possess vibrant prayer lives to help them make a difference in the sphere of influence God has given them.

This episode highlights that being a fearless professional can be easier with a confidant or mentor. Occasionally, we luck out and get a company that invests in our training and us as a person. We might get a perfect boss. Other times, bosses don't help us grow. Our companies might not gel with our styles. What if our management doesn't have the bandwidth to help level us up? Can a peer mentor you? Can you proactively seek out a mentor? Should you find that individual who's learning and mentor him or her? Seth Thompson (Time Payment) and Kyle Steele (SEO Expert) share how being colleagues evolved into a mentorship and now a friendship, and they highlight how helping each other has made each of them prolific at content and creating professional brands. We also discuss the cross over between sales and marketing and tips for using LinkedIn to build relationships with interesting strangers. Show highlights: 00:30 - Finding a mentor, stories from Kyle (mentor) and Seth (mentee) meeting in 2013 when Seth was right out of college. Mentor learns as much from the mentee, as Seth was a grinder former athlete and Kyle doesn't do well with routine 04:30 - Deal sizes roughly $30k through 100% Channel Sales, so deals can close in a few months, but the relationship can be about a year long before that deal hits the pipeline 08:00 - Finding a mentor, find someone that aligns with your style, proactively seek out relationships; mentor needs to be self aware that he or she has something to help a younger person or someone that is learning 12:00 - Find who is looking for help "Help who is swimming towards you" 16:00 - The "locker room" presence in the office, may not be manager but energy has to flow through that person to get full team buy-in; what do the senior reps know that I don't when they question management? Should I pay attention? 18:00 - Self awareness, Kyle did you annoy anyone and how did you handle it? 19:30 - cutoff, Kyle talking about hate me cuz they ain't me. "Seth, go be the best you that you can and no one can beat you." -Kyle 26:00 - Authenticity and positive intent, people can feel it in both sales, customer support, and finding the answer when you don't know it all 32:00 - Salepeople knowing marketing, and marketing people knowing sales, how is that helpful? 36:00 - Creating your own demand as a salesperson with content 41:00 - Salespeople know messaging best, marketers invent stuff because they don't have the customer relationships…"The only stopping you from winning is you."

Show highlights: 07:00 - Seth Thompson's thoughts on majoring in communications studies. Also part of Powerlifting club. How University of Iowa and athletics made Seth the professional he is today.

Using social media, not to sell customers but to educate them. Need to be using video because that's the trend to personalize to buyers. Answer questions in a non-biased way. You don't have to be an expert, just try to be helpful. 32:00 - Your personal branding content doesn't have to be perfect! Don't have to over-script, can't fear failure, it's okay to look away from the camera and sound dumb. Putting something out there imperfect is better than never putting anything at all. 36:00 - The internet didn't allow us to share video the same way. Sales people are so well suited in this new age of selling. 37:00 - Concern about not being an industry expert to not technobabble. How do you add value to a customer base without being technical in a technical industry? Seth says that you don't have to share groundbreaking stuff. Think of the top 10 questions your customers ask and "who is Seth?". Start asking questions. That's all you have to do and 80% of buyers will have the same questions. 42:00 - in 6 months you will start seeing return, Sales Navigator. You have to cold call and follow-up after sharing and engaging on LinkedIn. 45:20 - Seth's company wants him to get better at LinkedIn and supports him to do it. Takes it back to his business and makes a case. Virtual networking events. "LinkedIn is digital industry event our our time." 48:00 - Every lead you got at a tradeshow doesn't call you back, either...don't know how to do it without selling." I'm a person first, and then I happen to sell this, too. That buyer must believe in you first to buy from you. 50:00 - Company can take your tools, but they can't take your personal brand. 52:30 - Job hopping and documenting your story on LinkedIn. Protect career. 54:00 - Sales Leaders, you want these personal branding sales reps on your team because they will bring you customers. 55:00 - "I trust Aaron, he trusts his company, so therefore I trust his company." 56:00 - a lot of buyers aren't active on LinkedIn, and even if they are your still have to cold call and email. 57:00 - Final thoughts from Seth, driving the point home about being okay with failure and finding ways to help other professionals in personal development and their jobs.
