How To Vacation, 12 Week Paternity’s & The World Cup

Special Guest Seth Tomboli | Brand New Podcast

Pastor Shannon O'Dell sits down with Seth Tomboli, campus pastor at New Life Church in Fayetteville, for a wide-ranging conversation about planting, measuring ministry, and staying spiritually healthy while leading. They get into the phone call that put a Bentonville campus on the table, why the metrics that matter aren't the ones you'd expect (kids check-ins and dumpster size), and how Northwest Arkansas has become a mission field that doesn't require a passport. The back half goes personal: the father wound behind insecurity in leadership, comparison and competition among pastors, whether sabbaticals have become an escape instead of a tool, and what actually restores a leader. Plus honest takes on social media, AI in sermon prep, and building a life your closest people respect.
