Description

Are pastors and churches equipping their communities to face contemporary issues with faith, honesty, and hope—or backing down in the face of controversy and pressure?


Pastor Jay recounts leading Cedar Park Church, nurturing its Christian school from a handful of students to thousands, and balancing encouragement with bold truth-telling as both culture and education face increasing pressures. The dialogue covers the challenges and joys of multigenerational ministry, the vital role of teachers and parents, the need for pastors to address tough topics despite criticism, and how the gospel offers hope for brokenness—urging church leaders not to go silent, but to disciple with clarity, humility, and prayer for lasting change in hearts and society.
