What does it look like to finish well? In this insightful and reflective conversation, I sit down with Elder Dana Edmond — seasoned pastor, conference administrator, and trusted voice in ministry — to explore a life fully given to God's calling.From his Cleveland, OH roots and the legacy of the Glennville SDA Church, to his formative years at Oakwood University, his first pastoral post in St. Thomas (USVI), and his years of administrative leadership in the South Central Conference, Elder Edmond traces a journey shaped by mentors, family, leadership decisions, and abiding faith.He speaks candidly about finding his voice, navigating leadership pressure, building a healthy family life, and knowing when it's time to let go — all through the lens of a man who has embraced both the trophies and the scars.This is a conversation for every pastor, leader, and servant of God who wants to start, lead, and finish well. ___________________________ I'd love to help you grow in your relationship with Jesus Christ.DEVOTIONAL RESOURCES1.

Faith, Identity & Campus Ministries | Massiel Dávila-Ferrer, Carl Cunningham | The Living Room Podcast with Richard Martin

What does it actually look like to walk alongside a generation that loves Jesus but is rewriting what that looks like? I sat down with Pastor Massiel Dávila-Ferrer and Pastor Carl Cunningham — the campus ministry dream team at Burman University in Lacombe, Alberta — for one of the most honest conversations about faith, identity, grief, and what it means to lead young adults through some of the most formational years of their lives.They cover it all: navigating faith as a third-culture kid, what healthy ministry partnerships actually look like, how to sit with students in grief, why your spiritual timeline doesn't have to match everyone else's — and the prayer they both carry into every single day.Whether you're in ministry, a student figuring things out, or someone who just wants to understand the generation shaping the future of the church and world — this one is for you.
