About this listen

We’re all a work in progress—and that’s okay. On the Halfway There Podcast, Nick, a youth pastor and Brian, an adult leader, sit down to explore biblical topics with honesty, humor, and a heart to grow. Through real conversations, Scripture, and shared life experiences, we hope to encourage fellow believers who feel like they’re still “in process.” Whether you’re leading students, volunteering in ministry, or just trying to follow Jesus in everyday life, we’re here to walk with you… halfway there.

  • Bonus Episode: FAQs with Nick
    Nov 19 2025

    In this episode, Nick and Brian tackle some of the most common questions students ask about faith, life, and following Jesus. From doubts to daily challenges, they walk through real conversations happening in our ministry and help connect those questions to the hope we find in Christ.

    You’ll hear honest reflections, practical wisdom, and biblical clarity as they break down topics students bring up all the time—things like prayer, identity, navigating friendships, and how to grow when you feel stuck. The heart behind it all is simple: God welcomes our questions, and His Word gives us a sure foundation in a world full of shifting answers.

    Whether you’re a student, a leader, or a parent, this episode is designed to spark deeper conversations and point you back to the One who invites us to seek Him with all our heart.

    Highlights:

    • Why questions are a sign of spiritual hunger
    • How Scripture anchors us when we feel confused
    • Nick & Brian’s personal stories from real student conversations
    • Encouragement for anyone walking through doubt
    • Practical steps for growing in faith day-to-day

    Listen in and be reminded: God is never intimidated by your questions—He uses them to draw you closer, shape your faith, and lead you to His truth.

  • Bonus Episode: Bible Storying
    Nov 13 2025

    In this episode, Brian and Nick step into the same activity our students did on Wednesday night — retelling a biblical story from a personal point of view. Students were challenged to step inside the shoes of someone in Scripture, pay attention to what they saw, felt, feared, or hoped for, and notice how God was at work through it all.

    Brian and Nick each choose a different character and recount a familiar passage through first-person storytelling. The goal: help listeners see the beauty, tension, and grace of God’s Word in a fresh way.

    What We Did This Week

    • Students were placed into groups and assigned a passage.
    • Each group picked a character from the story — or were assigned one — and retold the entire scene from that character’s vantage point.
    • This required imagination, observation, and reflection on how God moved in real human lives.
    • It also helped students see that Scripture isn’t flat — it’s saturated with emotion, conflict, hope, and the steady faithfulness of the Lord.

    Brian and Nick decided to jump in and do the same exercise… on the mic.
