In this episode of the J29 Coalition podcast, host Caleb Campbell is joined by pastors Steve Bezner and Nate Bush for a candid conversation about leading churches in a cultural moment marked by Christian nationalism, political division, and post-pandemic disillusionment.
The trio explores the isolation many pastors feel, the courage it takes to speak prophetically, and the hope found in forming authentic, supportive relationships. Listeners will be encouraged by stories of wrestling with fear, finding community, and holding fast to a vision of the Church shaped by justice, mercy, and the way of Jesus.
