We live in the most connected generation in history… and yet, many feel more isolated than ever.
In this episode, CJ sits down with Wellspring’s new Small Groups Pastor, Brad Whitelaw, to talk about God’s design for gathering—and why real community is not optional for a flourishing life of faith.
From friendships to spiritual growth, from loneliness to belonging, this conversation unpacks how circles—not just rows—change everything.
If you’ve ever felt disconnected, stuck, or unsure how to take your next step, this episode will challenge and encourage you to lean in, get connected, and experience the kind of life God designed you for.

The resurrection of Jesus isn’t just a historical claim—it’s the power that changes lives today.
In this episode of The Other 6 Days, CJ sits down with Pastor Sean McCartin to explore what the resurrection really means for everyday life. From reaching the lost to breaking destructive habits, the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is still at work today.
Together they discuss evangelism, church planting, affinity ministry, and the hope that comes when someone realizes they are not who they used to be because of Christ.
If the resurrection is true—and it is—it doesn’t just change eternity... It changes Monday morning.

In this episode of The Other 6 Days, CJ sits down once again with pastor, author, and cultural bridge-builder Caleb Kaltenbach for a refreshing, hope-filled conversation about fear, faith, and trusting God with tomorrow. From cultural anxiety to personal worry, Caleb helps us unpack what we’re really afraid of—and why hope isn’t wishful thinking, but a disciplined decision rooted in who God is.
With humor, honesty, and plenty of practical wisdom, this episode reminds us that while culture keeps changing, God doesn’t—and that changes everything.
If you’ve ever felt anxious scrolling the news, overwhelmed by cultural tension, or unsure how to move forward with hope instead of fear… this conversation is for you.

In this episode of The Other 6 Days Podcast, CJ sits down with Pastor David Bell—our new Next Gen Pastor for an honest conversation of what discipleship looks like in real life, especially from a younger generations perspective. David is passionate about ensuring that we are raising up disciples who make disciples within this next generation and that they are equipped to engage the world for the gospel.
From mentoring mishaps, generational gaps, to life-changing relationships, this conversation explores why discipleship still matters, why it’s messy, and why it's one of the most important thing the Church ensures it does well.
Whether you’re discipling or being discipled, this episode will encourage you to lean in, not back.

A new year often brings new goals—but it can also surface old wounds, familiar patterns, and unanswered questions. In this episode, we invite you into a thoughtful, grace-filled conversation with Rachelle Roberts and Albert Martinez from Wellspring Counseling Center.
Together, we explore what healthy change actually looks like, why relationships can be both the source of our pain and our healing, and how faith and counseling can work together to bring real restoration. With honesty, compassion, and clinical wisdom, Rachelle and Albert help us rethink habits, name obstacles, and move toward hope—one step at a time.
This episode isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about helping people find renewal, resilience, and trust in a God that is still at work in the places we feel stuck.
