Today on the No Regrets Podcast, host Albo Esilaba is joined by Chris Brown, speaker, leader, and Senior Pastor and Teaching Pastor at North Coast Church. Chris shares how his gift for storytelling—once something he lacked confidence in—became one of the most important tools in his ministry and leadership. Chris opens up about the freedom that comes from being fully yourself in leadership. If God has called you, you already have what it takes. Albo and Chris also discuss the importance of churches working together rather than competing, and what true surrender looks like for men and leaders today. They dive into the challenge of being disliked as a leader. Chris talks honestly about becoming a lightning rod in ministry, carrying others' frustrations, and navigating anger directed at you—while remembering that every one of us is broken and in need of grace. Finally, Chris shares his desire to finish strong by empowering the leaders around him. Together, they explore what it means to fade out with strength, pass the baton well, and ensure ministry continues with health and momentum for the next season and the next generation.

Revelation 2:1-7Pastor Hagan York, Next Gen and Teaching Pastor
This week we kick off How We Roll by exploring one of the core values that shapes who we are as a church: We see beauty in diversity. Jesus chose a team that couldn't have been more different—people with clashing backgrounds, beliefs, and stories—and then used them to change the world. This week we'll see how following Him teaches us to look past labels, love beyond comfort, and recognize the beauty in the people around us… even the ones who challenge us most. Speaker: Ryan Leak, Teaching Pastor

The Colossian churches had shifted their attention from Christ to calendrical matters, mediatorial figures, mystical visions, and philosophical notions. Paul is calling them to focus on Christ, who is the center and circumference of reality. In 2:9, Paul's language makes Christ's full deity unavoidable and unmistakeable. Dr. Malcolm Yarnell III, who has been on this podcast before, is Research Professor of Theology at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and is Teaching Pastor at Lakeside Baptist Church. His publications include God, Volume 1 of Theology for Every Person. The second volume, Word, is forthcoming (February, 2026).

Have you ever wondered how to share your faith with confidence? In this message, Dr. Trent Langhofer teaches that evangelism is not about pressure or performance. It is about invitation. Through John 1, we see that evangelism begins with encountering Jesus personally and flows naturally from an authentic relationship with Him.Learn how to live a life that reflects the good news, engage skeptics with kindness, and share your faith in simple, meaningful ways. Evangelism is not for a select few. It is for every believer who has experienced the transforming power of Jesus.Listen as Dr. T shares how to:• Encounter Jesus personally before inviting others• Engage skeptics with empathy and curiosity• Share your story with confidence and compassion• Live a life that points people to JesusJoin us as we continue our Practicing the Way series at Trace Church in Colorado Springs.
Regular listeners to this podcast, or regular readers of MinistryWatch, know that we have spent a lot of time covering Christian education. The reasons for our coverage are many. Christian colleges are among the largest Christian institutions in the country, taking in billions of dollars each year. Secondly, what happens in Christian colleges and seminaries often directly affects the church. So even if you don't have kids in college now, or ever, your life and your church will be impacted by what is going on at Christian and secular colleges in this country. Thirdly, higher education – including Christian higher education – is in the midst of a tremendous transition. Demographics, technology, and a national conversation happening now about the value of a college education are all causing Christian colleges to face challenges they have never faced before. That's one reason I wanted to talk with Dr. Ed Stetzer. Ed Stetzer is the Dean of Talbot School of Theology at Biola University and Scholar in Residence & Teaching Pastor at Mariners Church. He has planted, revitalized, and pastored churches; trained pastors and church planters on six continents; earned two master's degrees and two doctorates; and he has written hundreds of articles and a dozen books. More to the point for our conversation today, he helps lead one of the few institutions of Christian higher education that is growing. I wanted to ask him why, and how, that was happening. Thanks for tuning in today to my conversation with Ed Stetzer. In addition to all the things I mentioned about Ed at the top of the program, he is also Regional Director for Lausanne North America, is the Editor-in-Chief of Outreach Magazine, and regularly writes for news outlets such as USA Today and CNN. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. Until next time, may God bless you.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of “abundance out of scarcity” with a discussion about the benefit of godly friendships during tough times. We briefly flipped through 1 Samuel, Chapters 18-20, to see how Jonathan was a friend to David during a tough time. We then had a call segment where we asked our listeners to share a story about a time when God provided them with a friend when they needed them the most. Then Drew Hunter joined us to discuss the beauty and community in godly friendship and how to find it. Drew is the Teaching Pastor of Zionsville Fellowship, where he provides overall leadership, biblical teaching, and serves as an Elder. He graduated from the Moody Bible Institute and the graduate schools of Wheaton College. He also authored the book, “Made for Friendship: The Relationship That Halves Our Sorrows and Doubles Our Joys.” We then had Nick Hall join us to talk about the growth of digital evangelism and how God has called us to rise. Nick is an evangelist and the Founder and President of Pulse Evangelism, an organization that exists to make Jesus known by reaching the lost and unleashing the evangelist. He is also the President and CEO of The Table Coalition, which exists to catalyze partnership within the American Church so that more people know Jesus.
