  • The 2026 Plan: Read the Bible Twice + Plant a Church in 45 Days
    Jan 13 2026

    What would happen if Scripture became the center again—not just a verse, but the long-form Word of God read out loud in community?

    In this episode, Pastor Scott shares his 2026 vision: taking in hours of Scripture each week, praying the Psalms daily, and launching a Public Reading of Scripture church plant in Fort Pierce—with the whole journey being documented in the 45 Days series.

    We talk about:

    - How much Bible is "enough," and whether you can actually get burned out

    - Why public reading + community meals are a church planting strategy

    - The bold hope behind it all: what God can do when people return to His Word

    Check out Pray150 to pray the Psalms daily, and watch the 45 Days documentary to follow the church plant story.

  • Gospel, Mission, and the CRC: Defining Our Identity
    Nov 28 2025

    What does it actually mean to be CRC?

    Is it our theology? Our history? Our worship style? Our mission?

    And if the Christian Reformed Church is going to reverse decline and rediscover its calling, where does our true identity begin?

    In this week's episode, Aaron sits down with Pastor Scott and Pastor Jary for a candid, funny, and surprisingly deep conversation about the core identity of the CRC.
