  • Are You Doing Things FOR God or Actually KNOWING Him?

    Are You Doing Things FOR God or Actually KNOWING Him?
    May 4 2026
    What's the difference between doing things for God and actually knowing Him? In this episode, Andrew and Nathan explore that question through Acts 6, looking at the characteristics of Stephen and the seven and asking whether the church today holds the same standard. The conversation moves through Paul's radical encounter with Christ, the freedom found in grace, and what it really means to love your neighbor. Honest, unscripted, and grounded in Scripture.

  • God Used a Dog to Reach Broken People… I Wasn’t Ready for This

    God Used a Dog to Reach Broken People… I Wasn’t Ready for This
    Apr 28 2026

    What happens when you fully surrender your life to God?

    In this powerful episode of the Always Rising Podcast, we sit down with Tate Ledford to unpack a real, raw testimony of faith, obedience, and transformation. From a career in law enforcement to walking through fear, pride, loss, and ultimately surrender, Tate shares how God radically changed his life and began using something unexpected… a dog… to open doors for ministry, healing, and the Gospel.

    This conversation dives deep into:

    What it truly means to die to yourself

    How God uses pain to draw us closer to Him

    The power of obedience and stepping out in faith

    Real-life discipleship in everyday moments

    Why your personal relationship with Jesus matters more than knowledge

    Discipleship, Dying to Self, and What Faith Actually Looks Like at Home | Always Rising Podcast | S2 E2
    Apr 20 2026
    Andrew and Nathan are back for episode 2, and this one gets personal. The conversation starts with Nathan's Friday morning discipleship sessions: men of different ages, all wrestling with the same questions about what it looks like to walk with God. That leads to a deeper discussion on what the church often gets wrong: equipping people to do things rather than helping them grow closer to the Lord. From there, Andrew and Nathan get into marriage, parenthood, and the moments that reframe everything. Andrew shares a story about telling his kids who he loves most, and what that honesty is meant to build in them. Nathan digs into what it means to truly decrease, to die to self daily, and why salvation rooted in what God did rather than what we do is the foundation everything else has to stand on. Honest. Grounded. Unscripted. That's our show. Subscribe and join the conversation each week.

  • EP 16: Lee Hyde - From Baseball to God's Calling: A Journey of Redirection and Financial Purpose

    EP 16: Lee Hyde - From Baseball to God's Calling: A Journey of Redirection and Financial Purpose
    May 14 2025

    Lee Hyde found Christ at a summer camp as a kid and chased his dreams on the baseball field—playing at Georgia Tech, meeting his future wife, and being drafted in 2006 in the fourth round by the Atlanta Braves. Eight years, four teams, and multiple big league camps later, he never made it to the majors and walked away in 2014—feeling like a failure. But God wasn’t done. He joined a men’s group that same year, igniting a deeper faith journey. He returned to school, graduated in 2015, and started a new path in financial planning—launching Shepherd Financial in 2020. This is a story about rising again. About purpose beyond the game. And about trusting God's plan even when yours falls apart.
