Welcome to the Made Alive Podcast! Philip Wiggins and Seth Kurtz are two young leaders in ministry and we want to talk about the things in our lives and your lives that give us purpose and make us come alive. Made Alive Podcast is bringing transparency to leadership to help enable the next generation of leaders to thrive.
Ministry requires us to be interruptible, but is it ever okay to say no in those moments? In this episode, we discuss how to be interruptible without allowing it to control your life.

057 - The Cost of Cynicism
It’s easy to get cynical—about people, the church, even God. In this episode, we talk honestly about where that cynicism comes from and how it shows up in our lives. But we also explore how to keep our hearts soft, hold on to hope, and move toward something better.
