Double Helix: Faith and Family - J.P. De Gance | Faithly Podcast

In today’s episode, Rev. Adam Durso is joined by J.P. De Gance, founder and president of Communio, as they engage in a compelling conversation on the double helix of faith and family. Drawing from both personal experience and extensive research, J.P. shares how a family crisis reshaped his understanding of ministry and ultimately led him to create Communio—a ministry dedicated to helping churches strengthen relationships, support families, and reach their communities through practical, Christ-centered relationship ministry. Together, Rev. Adam and J.P. explore the growing challenges facing marriage and family life today, as well as the profound impact these realities have on church health and generational faith transmission. J.P. explains why strong marriages and intentional discipleship within the home remain some of the most significant predictors of whether young people will continue following Christ into adulthood, pointing to emerging research that highlights the vital role parents play in shaping lifelong faith. Their conversation also examines the cultural shifts that have contributed to rising loneliness, alongside declining marriage rates and increasing disconnection, while offering a hopeful vision for how local churches can respond. Through intentional relationship ministry and a renewed commitment to strengthening families, J.P. shares why the Church is uniquely positioned to bring healing, connection, and the transformative love of Christ to communities in need.

Building Bridges in a Divided World - Bishop Robert Stearns | Faithly Podcast

Today on the Faithly Podcast, Rev. Adam Durso is joined by Bishop Robert Stearns, founder and executive director of Eagles’ Wings, for a wide-ranging conversation on faith and leadership, exploring the responsibility of Christians to engage the world with both conviction and compassion. Drawing from more than three decades of ministry, Bishop Stearns reflects on the experiences that shaped his calling—from a life-changing trip to Israel in his early twenties to becoming a respected voice in Christian-Jewish relations, leadership development, and public engagement. Along the way, he shares how a simple decision to say “yes” to God opened doors he never could have planned for himself. Together, Rev. Adam and Bishop Stearns explore the growing challenges facing both the Church and society at large, from biblical illiteracy and social media-driven polarization to the ever-present temptation to retreat into ideological echo chambers. Rather than responding with fear, Bishop Stearns offers a compelling vision for bridge-building—one rooted in genuine relationships, historical understanding, and a commitment to seeing the image of God in every person.
