Merry Christmas from all of us at NCC Unplugged. We’re so grateful for this season and for a Savior who stepped into our world to bring hope, peace, and new life. Our prayer is that you and your family experience the joy and love of Jesus today and throughout the year ahead.

Welcome back to Part 2 of Ask Us Anything on NCC Unplugged. In this episode, the NCC staff continues answering real questions submitted by our church family—ranging from fun and lighthearted to deeply thoughtful and personal.

The conversation kicks off with a fan-favorite question: If you weren’t in ministry, what would your dream job be?

From there, the team shifts to practical questions about church growth—specifically the crowded lobby and coffee ministry—and begins dreaming out loud about what an ideal church space could look like. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at how leadership thinks about growth, space, and serving people well.

The episode then turns more reflective with a powerful question: What guidance would you give someone later in life who is seeking Jesus?

Finally, the episode wraps up with the first-ever Rapid Fire Round, tackling the truly important questions (note the sarcasm). It’s a fun, human ending to a meaningful conversation.

In this special Ask Us Anything edition of NCC Unplugged, Matt sits down with Jeff Terpstra (Preaching Minister), Joshua Persall (Executive Minister), Alison Murray (Children’s Director), and Jonathan Slatt (Youth Minister) to answer real, anonymous questions straight from our congregation. This is part one of a multi-episode series because you sent in so many thoughtful, vulnerable questions.

The team starts by pulling back the curtain on their own lives—talking honestly about anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, finding worth in what you do instead of who you are in Christ, and the everyday struggle of marriage and parenting. From there, they dive into big theological questions:

• How do I know I’m ready to be baptized?
• If I was baptized as a child in another tradition, do I need to be baptized again?
• Does NCC believe God still physically heals people today?
• If God knows me and loves me, why has my life felt like constant survival—and how many trials can one person take?

Along the way, they talk about the importance of small groups, why NCC emphasizes conscious immersion in baptism, how we view healing without turning it into a spectacle, and how God can redeem suffering—even when you’re exhausted and still waiting for relief. The episode wraps with a lighter segment about what pastors actually see from stage (yes, they notice the naps and Candy Crush).

If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, suffering, baptism questions, or just wondered whether your leaders “have it all together,” this honest conversation is for you.
