5 Subtle Ways New Age Spirituality Is Infiltrating the Church | Tailah Scroggins

In this episode, Grant sits down with Aro co-founder Joey Odom to talk about why we’re so addicted to our devices and, more importantly, what we can actually do about it. Joey shares some mind-blowing insights into how our phones have become adult security blankets, keeping us from the real, meaningful connections we were made for. Grant and Joey get practical with four simple habits you can start today to change your relationship with technology and reclaim your presence with your family and friends. This isn't about demonizing technology; it's about learning to be the master of it, not the other way around. If you want to be a more present leader, husband, father, or friend, this is for you!

In this episode, Grant sits down with pastor Reward Sibanda, who brought a powerful and challenging perspective that every Western leader needs to hear. He talks about why we’ve redefined one of the most foundational disciplines of our faith and what we’ve lost in the process. Reward cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of what fasting is really about: consecration. It’s not about earning God’s favor or finding a new self-help trick; it’s about humbling ourselves to hear His voice more clearly. If you’re feeling spiritually dry or you think your ministry lacks power, this conversation will show you the simple, ancient path to a deeper walk with God.

In this episode, Grant sits down with Jennifer Barnett, Executive Director of Freedom Prayer. Jennifer provides a clear definition of Freedom Prayer as a personal ministry focused on identifying and resolving barriers that hinder a mature relationship with God, such as wounding, sin, ungodly beliefs, and entanglements. Drawing from her own experience overcoming crippling anxiety in her early years as a believer, she distinguishes Freedom Prayer from deliverance while emphasizing its role in spiritual formation and abiding in Christ. This episode examines five prevalent spiritual strongholds: distance from God, ungodly beliefs, deep wounds and unforgiveness, entanglements, and sin. Designed for the next generation of Christian leaders, this discussion offers practical guidance for those seeking to deepen their faith, lead with authenticity, and experience greater freedom in their walk with God. Catch Jennifer's workshop titled "Responsible Deliverance" at the upcoming THINQ Summit in Nashville, October 2-4.

In this episode, Grant sits down with pastor and speaker Martin Sedra to tackle the real reasons young Christian leaders are feeling afraid to speak up today—and how fear, culture, and compromise are holding us back from true boldness. From personal stories of courage in Egypt to the biblical call for Elijah-like bravery, this conversation is a must-watch for anyone serious about leading with conviction in a passive culture. If you're ready to stand firm and lead courageously, this is for you. Let’s push back against the noise and get back to biblical truth and fearless leadership.

In this episode, Grant sits down with author and entrepreneur Alan Hirsch to talk about why the Church has suppressed the language of the five-fold ministry—the apostle, prophet, evangelist, shepherd, and teacher—and why rediscovering it is the key to unlocking the potential of the next generation. If you’ve ever felt like a misfit in the church, like you have an angst or a passion that doesn’t quite fit the mold, this conversation is for you! Watch as Alan breaks down these callings as a direct extension of the ministry of Jesus himself and helps you understand your own unique wiring so you can move from feeling like a rebel to becoming the healthy, effective leader God created you to be. This isn't just another personality test; this is about activating the full potential of the body of Christ!

Special Note: This episode addresses the subject of suicide and suicide prevention. If you are struggling with thoughts of suicide or would just like someone to talk to, please call or text 988 to speak to a counselor. The 988 Lifeline is free, confidential, and available 24/7/365. — In this heavy episode, Grant sits down with Jacob Coyne, the founder of the incredible "Stay Here" movement. He shares the powerful story of how a conversation in Dallas led to a partnership with 57 NFL quarterbacks for a suicide prevention campaign that reached over 200 million people. Jacob debunks the #1 myth that holds most leaders back from helping those who are struggling. He gets practical about what to do and say when someone you know uses language like, "I don't want to be here anymore." This isn't just about awareness; it's about action. It's about having the courage to be direct and the compassion to build communities where people can actually find healing. If you're a pastor, a youth leader, or just someone who wants to know how to love people who are struggling well, this is for you.
