Brent Cunningham never planned to become a pastor. In this conversation, Brent opens up about his journey from someone who avoided church leadership to embracing a calling he never saw coming, 21 years later. He shares candidly about growing up in environments where questioning faith was discouraged, and how that experience taught him to create space for doubt and intellectual honesty in his own ministry. Brent also gets vulnerable about the health challenges his family has faced and how walking through suffering has fundamentally changed him as a person and pastor. While many know Brent for his theological insights, this episode reveals the heart behind the teaching: a husband and father and son whose own trials have given him profound empathy for others navigating their hardest seasons.

Water has always been a mysterious and powerful element of God’s work in Creation. From a life-giving resource to a tool of judgment, God Almighty is the ‘Master & Commander’ of water. And what is even more remarkable is that he calls us out to join him in such playful mastery! Will we adventure with our God ‘out on the water’?

"In this episode, I get to sit down with someone our students already adore. Justin Matthews is our student ministry pastor here at Timberline, and he’s the kind of leader who makes you laugh, makes you think, and somehow makes middle schoolers want to talk about Jesus. We talk about his journey into ministry, his heart for the next generation, and what it’s been like becoming a dad to a brand-new baby girl. This is a conversation about real life, real faith, and learning to lead with love. I think you’re going to fall in love with Justin the way his students already have. "
