Napa Eats, Birthday Celebrations and Church Confrontations
Today's episode covers a range of topics from Napa Valley, to reacting to some wild viral church moments. We discuss our top 5 recommendations for places to eat and drink in the Napa area - you'll want to take notes on those hidden gems.
We also unpack Cam's 7th birthday celebrations and my approach to focusing more on experiences over big parties these days. I break down why creating those core memories is so important.
Then we dive into a couple of viral church clips that have been making the rounds - the Keion Henderson situation and another preacher demanding people lift their hands or get out. We analyze the context, discuss having discernment as a pastor, and explore whether we should be governing the church more like businesses.
I give my hot take that praise breaks are not an excuse for bad preaching. You'll want to hear Courtney's perspective on respecting the leadership's role too.
We also promote our upcoming relationship conference Remix on June 7-8 here in the Bay, including a live recording of this very podcast on June 8th at 3pm Pacific! Make sure to join us for that.
Finally, I plug my book "Necessary Endings" and the book talk event I'm doing on June 19th to really unpack that journey. Courtney gives a glowing review that might just convince you to pick it up.
So sit back and join us as we sip some wine, discuss Napa delicacies, analyze those jaw-dropping church clips, and get you hyped for our upcoming events!
