In this Season 6 kickoff episode, Dyke and Rebecca are joined by longtime friend of Waypoint and trusted voice in preaching and leadership, Chris Barras. Together they explore the critical difference between sermons that merely inform and preaching that truly transforms lives. Chris offers practical guidance for pastors seeking to form disciples, not just deliver content, including wise guardrails for the use of AI in sermon preparation. The conversation also addresses how church leaders can shepherd their congregations faithfully through cultural and political upheaval with clarity, humility, and conviction. This episode is a timely and encouraging call to lead with purpose, wisdom, and a heart for transformation.
