Friday, July 18, 2025 • Duration 45:32

Recorded live at our recent conference, Tra challenges leaders to stop chasing personal ambition and instead align their vision with divine revelation from God’s Word.

Drawing from the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 18–19, Tra walks us through five key characteristics of courageous leadership—from confronting corruption to trusting God’s power alone. He unpacks the idea of “anointing” and how God equips us to do the impossible through His strength, not ours.

From the Archives: Issues in Church Governance with Jonathan Sams

Season 1 · Episode 3

Wednesday, May 22, 2019 • Duration 01:00:14

In this eye-opening episode from the REFRESH Conference archives, attorney and church advocate Jonathan Sams delivers a timely and challenging message for church leaders navigating today’s legal and cultural landscape.

With conviction and clarity, he explains why churches must take legal and structural steps to protect their theological integrity and spiritual authority.

This episode isn’t just a legal briefing—it’s a call to courage for leaders who want to faithfully steward their mission in a shifting world. Whether you’re a pastor, elder, or ministry partner, Jonathan’s insights will challenge you to lead with intentionality and conviction—for a purpose.

From the Archives: Metaphors As A Ministry Mantra by Kyle Idleman

Season 1 · Episode 2

Wednesday, May 22, 2019 • Duration 45:14

In this heartfelt and humorous episode, bestselling author and pastor Kyle Idleman shares a message of deep encouragement and challenge from our 2019 REFRESH conference. With his signature storytelling style, Kyle reminds us of the sacred weight of leadership, the beauty of serving alongside our spouses, and the transformative power of metaphor in scripture.

From unforgettable baptism stories—including a military man who asked to be held underwater for 3 minutes, to a woman who required a full-on sweep the leg moment—Kyle weaves laughter and meaning into moments that illustrate the depth of God’s work in people’s lives.

But the heart of this message centers on one phrase: “Kiss the Wave.” Inspired by the Spurgeon quote, “I have learned to kiss the wave that throws me against the Rock of Ages,” Kyle unpacks how our trials can become sacred reminders that draw us closer to Jesus. He shares how metaphor is a powerful tool throughout scripture—how God reveals Himself as a Father, a Rock, a Shelter—and how those metaphors speak to every moment of our faith journey.

Whether you’re a leader weathering hard seasons or simply in need of a fresh perspective on God’s presence in the waves of life, this message will leave you both smiling and strengthened.

From the Archives: The Heart Behind The Solomon Foundation with CEO Doug Crozier

Season 1 · Episode 1

Wednesday, May 22, 2019 • Duration 24:54

In this special archived episode, we take you back to our 2019 REFRESH event, where Solomon Foundation CEO Doug Crozier shared the heart, mission, and momentum behind the organization. This is more than a financial update—it’s a front-row seat to the why behind what we do.

Doug unpacks how TSF has helped 240 churches grow from 65,000 to over 130,000 in weekly attendance, with more than 18,500 baptisms along the way. You’ll hear stories of real churches being encouraged, resourced, and connected—not just with funding, but with community.

Doug casts vision for how TSF does ministry through relationships, not transactions. From strategic facility planning and construction support, to loan funding and media resources like Christian Standard and The Lookout, TSF exists to come alongside churches so they can thrive.

You’ll also hear the financial side of the mission—how every deposit plays a direct role in fueling church growth. With a goal to raise $160 million in deposits that year, Doug shares how the foundation’s transparent, audited structure allows everyday people to invest in Kingdom impact.

If you’ve ever wanted a behind-the-scenes look at The Solomon Foundation, this episode captures it beautifully—straight from the man who’s led it since day one.
