Episode 4 | Faith In The Arena | Run From Zero

Episode 20 | What Do You Do When Someone Betrays You? | Run From Zero

Betrayal is one of those things everybody experiences but nobody really knows how to handle. In this episode, Pastor Todd, Chris, and Cal dive into the story of Joseph — one of the most dramatic betrayal stories in all of Scripture — and unpack what it actually looks like to forgive, set boundaries, and trust God when people let you down. They wrestle with the hard questions: What if reconciliation isn't an option? What if you've tried to forgive but keep ending up right back at anger? And why does formation almost always require waiting a lot longer than you want to? If you're in the middle of a broken relationship or still carrying something you thought you'd moved on from, this one's worth your time.

Episode 18 | What Does Your Budget Say About Your Trust? | Run From Zero

Money is one of those topics that's easy to nod along with on Sunday and then quietly ignore by Monday. In this episode, Pastor David, Seth, and the team pull back the curtain on the conversation that didn't make it into the sermon — and get surprisingly honest about fear, generosity, and what it actually looks like to let God into your finances. From C.S. Lewis's convicting take on giving to the question of whether the church should want your money (spoiler: yes, and here's why that's okay), this one goes deep. They also get practical: what do you do when every dollar is already spoken for? How do you start giving from zero? And why is your budget actually one of the most spiritual documents you own? Grab a coffee and lean in — this is the kind of conversation most of us need but rarely have.

Episode 14 | Don't Waste Your Life! | Run From Zero

What does it actually look like to not waste your life? In this episode, Brendan and the team kick off the Well Done series by diving into that question — exploring what faithfulness really means, why fear keeps so many of us stuck, and how the Parable of the Talents challenges us to stop waiting for "someday" to start living with purpose. They also get practical: Who's your one? Are you excelling or just coasting on autopilot? Grab a pen — this one's worth reflecting on.

Episode 6 | When God's Plans Make No Sense | Run From Zero

In this episode of the Run From Zero podcast, the conversation continues the In the Arena series by exploring what it really means to persevere in faith when God doesn’t move as quickly—or as clearly—as we would like. Building on the story of Joshua and the fall of Jericho, the team wrestles with the tension between wanting God to knock down our walls and allowing Him to transform us while we wait. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the waiting, tempted to give up, or frustrated that God hasn’t answered the way you expected, this episode offers clarity, encouragement, and a renewed call to trust His will. Even in the arena.

Episode 5 | Facing Your Giants | Run From Zero

In this episode of the Run From Zero podcast, the conversation continues week two of In the Arena by exploring one of the most well known stories in Scripture: David and Goliath. But instead of treating it like a simple underdog story, this episode digs into what the message reveals about perseverance, confidence, and how God prepares His people long before the battle ever begins. Throughout the discussion, the team breaks down the deeper layers of adversity: why it happens, how to identify where it comes from, and what it looks like to walk through suffering with an eternal perspective. Using Romans 5, Psalm 23, and key moments from David’s life, this episode challenges listeners to rethink what “victory” really means—especially when outcomes don’t unfold the way we hoped. The conversation also gets highly practical, covering real life application in areas like finances, relationships, generosity, forgiveness, and spiritual disciplines. Listeners are encouraged to take small, daily steps that build faith over time—because the battles we face rarely start in the spotlight, and the strength we need is often formed in the unseen places. If you’re walking through a hard season, feeling unprepared, or struggling to make sense of your adversity, this episode offers biblical clarity, honest perspective, and actionable encouragement to help you keep moving forward in faith.
