Year-End Giving Without Awkward Pleas — Chip Bernhard at TheChurchHub Podcast #006

Most pastors hate talking about money—but year-end giving keeps showing up on the calendar whether you’re ready or not. In this Barnabas Room episode, Chip Bernhard sits down with Bill Walter and Mike Stottlemeyer from Church Growth Services to talk about how to build a culture of generosity without turning into the “it’s-all-about-the-budget” pastor.

XP + Lead Pastor Conversations: “Making Time?” , TheChurchHub Podcast #005

In ministry, time is the most valuable—and most easily lost—resource. Every pastor on your team wants a moment with the lead pastor, but what happens when the calendar always says “no”? Join Phil Taylor and Chip Bernhard as they unpack how intentional time—shared lunches, walk-around moments, and hallway conversations—can transform a staff culture from transactional to relational. This isn’t about adding more meetings; it’s about making time for what truly builds trust, unity, and health in your team. Because sometimes, five minutes of presence can do more for your staff than fifty minutes of planning.

TheChurchHub Podcast #004: With Garrett & Rachel Higbee — Why Biblical Soul Care?

Summary: In this inaugural episode of The Biblical Soul Care Podcast, hosted by Dr. Garrett Higbee alongside his daughter Rachel Higbee, listeners are invited into a practical and deeply biblical conversation on restoring the church to its original design—where care and discipleship flow through every believer, not just professionals. Drawing from Garrett’s transformation from clinical psychologist to Christ-centered soul care leader, the episode unpacks why the “priesthood of all believers” matters more than ever in today’s church culture. They explore the theology behind biblical soul care, how it differs from conventional counseling, and the paradigm shifts churches must embrace to move from therapeutic silos to Spirit-led shepherding. Together, they break down the Ephesians 4 model—equipping saints for the work of ministry—and discuss how soul care prevention beats crisis reaction. Rachel brings a fresh, next-generation perspective shaped by her seminary training and passion for discipling women in a culture marked by anxiety and confusion. Listeners will learn: * Why discipleship and counseling are not separate but part of a continuum of care * How every believer can grow in skillful, compassionate truth-telling * The importance of training, alignment, and prayer in building healthy church cultures * What practical tools like SOS (Severity, Ownership, Support) can do to unify language across ministries Whether you’re a pastor, small group leader, or simply someone who wants to care better for people, this conversation reclaims what it means to be the Church—a community where hearts are healed, leaders are healthy, and discipleship runs deep. Presented by Soul Care Consulting International in partnership with The Church Hub.

From the power of words in marriage to the courage of sharing hidden pain, Ann shares stories of friendship, struggle, and God’s sustaining grace. This conversation is a reminder that resilience isn’t about having it all together—it’s about bouncing back through Christ’s strength, authentic community, and the hope of the gospel.
