It's been said that a little bit of science will lead you away from God, but a lot of science will bring you right back.  That's certaily been true of the Journey for Dr. Brian Miller.  With a PhD in physics from Duke University and his undergrad at MIT, his passion for science has been exposed to some of the brightest minds in the world.  After losing his faith early in his studies, he found that the deeper he studied the more it brought him back to the plausibility of God.  Not only does he find compelling evidence for God through scientific study, but he does so with a level of intelligence and honesty that is rare to find.

Ep #13: We met over a haircut.  How does a pastor and his barber build a relationship that eventually leads to Jesus?  Well the ride was a little crazy at times, but it was never boring.  Garrett Vogler is a good friend of mine and his story of finding Jesus should encourage and challenge a lot of people out there.   Have a question or constructive compliment for Seth?

Ep. #11 There's no question that our world is only getting busier. More actiity, more information, mor stimulation.  With all of this one the rise, anxiety and burnout seem to be going right along with it.  My good friend Adam Mabry is the lead pastor of Alethia Church which has 3 locations anchored in Boston.  He leads a great church in the heart of a difficult area to do church.  He has his own personal journey with this topic and wrote an incredible book on it.  He stops by to talk about the art of rest and just how vital it is increasingly becoming in our world.

Ep #6: For 3 years Billy Lile went through an agonizing journey with his son.  With severe allergies and rashes, there wasn't a full night of sleep or a day without trial for 3 whole years.  It was during this time that Billy stopped praying, "Take it away," and started to pray "God, what are you doing in this?"  The answers he received were incredibly moving.  I know you are going to be encouraged and inspired by this story. **Apologies for the fan that kept intermittanty coming on and off during our conversation.

Episode #5: Whenever I sit down with my friends, interesting conversations inevitably pop up.  This episode comes out of a conversation with two of my favorite friends, Donnell Jones and Daniel Stephens.  Both of them are pastors, just like me.  Donnell is from Washington DC, and Daniel is from Midland, Texas.  All of us have very different background stories but each of us deeply love Jesus and each other.  It's because of this that we can talk about some of the most difficult topics of our day.  Rather than taking a political stance for or against the current President, this conversation is really about the unity of the church and bringing the good news of Jesus into how we process the world and people around us.

Episode #2: Do you cast vision well, do you cast it enough?  Do you follow vision well?
