Season seven of the ExEm Podcast launches with a powerful and timely conversation. In Episode 121, we're joined by the President of Emerge, Dr. Crosby, as we explore the idea of Generational Generativity—what it means to intentionally live as a catalyst for healing, growth, and legacy across generations. Together, we talk about breaking unhealthy generational chains, choosing to give generously—emotionally, spiritually, and relationally—to the generation coming behind us, and resisting the temptation to live only for ourselves. We also reflect on the humility required to remain teachable, honoring and learning from those who have gone before us, even when their paths or perspectives differ from our own.

If you care about legacy, leadership, spiritual formation, and creating a healthier future for the next generation, this conversation will set the tone for a new year in a meaningful way.

In this episode, we explore a powerful and practical truth: everyone needs a counselor, a coach, and a consultant. Whether you’re leading in ministry, business, or family life, no one thrives in isolation—and wisdom multiplies when we invite the right voices into our lives.

Our guest is Pastor Jeremy Godwin, COO of Builders International, who brings a unique blend of pastoral insight, executive leadership, and global ministry experience. Jeremy helps unpack the distinct roles of counseling, coaching, and consulting—why each matters, how they differ, and when you might need one more than the others.

Together, we discuss healthy leadership, emotional and spiritual care, decision-making, and how seeking help is not a weakness but a sign of maturity and stewardship. This conversation is especially relevant for leaders who carry heavy responsibility and want to lead well, finish strong, and live whole.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step, this episode will help you identify the support you need—and permit you to pursue it.

In this powerful episode of the ExEm Podcast, Matthew sits down with author Samantha Jones to talk about her deeply moving book, God and Trauma: The Lessons I’m Learning. Samantha is a wife, mom, and survivor of significant past trauma — and she’s courageously opening the pages of her healing journey for others to find hope.

Together, we explore how God meets us in the darkest valleys, the slow and sacred work of restoration, and the practical lessons Samantha is learning as she continues to walk with Jesus through layers of healing. She shares honestly about her therapeutic journey, EMDR, and the moments when God’s presence has broken through her pain in transformative ways. This episode is an invitation to anyone who has experienced hurt and is longing for hope. Samantha’s story reminds us that healing is possible, God is near, and our scars can become testimonies of His grace.
