Why I Left Vocational Ministry (And Found REAL Ministry) | Dustin Kleinschmidt

A former pastor, church planter, and author breaks down why the wilderness isn't a detour from the Christian life — it IS the Christian life. After walking through identity collapse, the silence of God, and the slow road to restoration, Dustin Kleinschmidt is now doing more actual ministry OUTSIDE vocational ministry than he ever did inside it. An honest voice for the honest Christian! Dustin is an author, coach, worship songwriter, and the writer behind "The Wilderness Way: Finding Freedom in Life's Fractures." His mission is to help believers stop pretending they have it figured out and start trusting God in the fractures — where real faithfulness is forged. He Explains: 1. Why your identity gets wrapped up in significance (not just ministry) — and how to spot it. 2. How the Western church traded "go and be" for "come and see" — and what we lose when belonging comes after believing. 3. Why lament is faith's most faithful expression (and why Jesus wept at Lazarus' tomb even though He knew the ending). 4. 3 tips for Christians standing at a crossroads who feel stuck in the forest with no clear path forward. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 – Intro: Meet Dustin Kleinschmidt 02:52 – The Panera Sip Club & Dustin's booth 04:23 – Catching up: The Wilderness Way book study & new worship album 06:54 – Club volleyball, parenting, and the money grab 09:53 – Why this book hit different (Chase's reaction) 12:10 – Doing more ministry OUTSIDE vocational ministry 17:05 – Identity, significance, and the next book Dustin is writing 19:34 – Chase opens up: navigating his own deconstruction 23:11 – "Go and be" vs. "Come and see": rethinking how the church operates 26:50 – The long game: how a volleyball team led someone to Jesus 30:37 – Can the Western church actually change? 33:54 – Theology, philosophy, and practice: what's actually negotiable 38:30 – Reimagining church buildings as community spaces 42:39 – Christian karaoke and why all kinds of churches are needed 49:34 – Chase's home church dissolved: processing the grief 53:23 – Lament as faith's most faithful expression 59:48 – Jesus at Lazarus' tomb: He didn't shortcut the grief 1:05:34 – Where were you when I created?

Nutrition expert breaks it down: Losing weight, work-life balance, and the importance of community.

What happens when grief, a global shutdown, and a business bleeding money all hit at the same time — and you have to decide whether to walk away from your dream or fight for it while you're still broken? McKensey Ciaramella is the co-owner of Tekton Fitness in Murray, Utah — a CrossFit affiliate that's been building community for over 14 years. What started as a family hobby in 2008 when her dad and brother walked into an underground CrossFit gym has evolved into one of the longest-running affiliates in the Salt Lake area. McKensey is an expert CrossFit and nutrition coach, a psychology degree holder turned full-time people-builder, a mother of two, and the kind of leader who makes you feel seen the moment you walk through her door. Why CrossFit without nutrition is incomplete — and the one shift that transforms everything people notice in the gym How McKenzie got her Level 1 certification at 10 months pregnant, then signed a gym lease from a hospital bed days after giving birth The gut-wrenching moment she got the call that her mom had committed suicide — and how grief physically shut her body down for months Why she refused to quit the gym during her lowest season, choosing instead to let the work heal her rather than making permanent decisions from a broken place The raw truth about entrepreneurship: not getting paid for a year, leaning on her husband's support, and choosing to give it everything even if failure was on the table How she creates a space so authentic that people literally cannot hide who they are — and why that's the magic of her community The parallel between CrossFit and life: it never gets easier, you just get stronger — and why your first pull-up and your rock bottom are both part of the same journey If you've ever wrestled with whether to keep going when everything in your life is telling you to stop — or wondered what it looks like to rebuild yourself and your business at the same time — this conversation will hit home.

CrossFit Coach Speaks Out! Adrian Conway Chose God Over My Dream! The Truth About Calling & Entrepreneurship

What happens when the business you built to secure your family's future crumbles — and you have to decide whether to cling to safety or trust God with everything? Adrian Conway is a 3x CrossFit Games athlete, former Division I running back, founder of Train to Rise Up, CrossFit seminar staff coach, gym owner, and podcast host of True Fitness. With over 20 years in the fitness industry, Adrian has built a career training everyone from beginners to elite competitors — but his journey to get here required a hard pivot, a financial collapse, and a radical return to what God created him to do. • Why CrossFit isn't just about your body — it's about who you become between your ears and in your heart • The shocking parallel between CrossFit methodology and biblical discipleship: accountability, standards, community, and growth through discomfort • How Adrian walked away from a six-figure business valuation and had to restart from scratch — with a family, a mortgage, and no safety net • Why the gifts God gives you should ooze from your skin — and if they don't, you might be chasing the wrong thing • The difference between loving your craft and loving entrepreneurship — and why young business owners need to know which one they actually want • How God shaped Adrian through football, injury, baptism, and business failure to prepare him for the calling he's walking in now If you've ever felt the pressure to choose between stability and calling, or wondered what it looks like to trust God when everything falls apart — this conversation will meet you right where you are.
