007 | BURNOUT

Episode 7

Wednesday, February 18, 2026 • Duration 48:20

In this episode of Step In, we revisit the heart of the series and slow down to reflect on what spiritual formation actually looks like in real life.

We talk about the difference between pretending and transformation, why eternal life starts now, and how John 3v16 and John 10v10 belong together. Jesus saves us, and He is also forming us into people of love, joy, peace, and strength under control.

The conversation explores inner vows, false selves, burnout, Lent practices, and how wilderness seasons become God’s classroom. We wrestle with the idea that grace is not opposed to effort, but to earning, and what it looks like to cooperate with the Holy Spirit instead of trying harder on our own.

Sunday, February 1, 2026 • Duration 33:53

Content note: This episode includes discussion of alcohol abuse, violence, and self-harm. Listener discretion is advised.

In this special episode of Step In, Pastor Mike sits down with his longtime friend Rich Stewart for a raw and compassionate conversation about addiction, recovery, and the power of honesty and connection.

Rich shares his story of growing up around church, knowing Scripture but living without deep connection to God, and how isolation and unprocessed pain eventually led to alcoholism. He reflects on reaching the end of himself, the courage it took to ask for help, and how recovery has become a daily practice of truth, humility, and trust.

Together, Mike and Rich talk about the danger of isolation, the importance of answering the phone when someone reaches out, and how healing often begins when secrets are brought into the light. The conversation is heavy at times, but grounded in hope and the belief that none of us are meant to do life alone.

Quote

Susanna Wesley, mother of John Wesley:“Whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes away your relish for spiritual things, whatever increases the authority of your body over your mind, that thing is sin to you, however innocent it may be in itself."
