Snow in the forecast. Sunday is coming. And church leaders everywhere are asking the same question: Do we cancel… or not?

In this special bonus episode of Equipped for Worship, Chuck shares a pastoral, real-life conversation about making weather-related decisions with wisdom and care. Drawing from Scripture and a firsthand experience that included canceling a service and postponing a Christmas cantata, this episode explores how to lead with clarity, unity, and a shepherd’s heart — without guilt or second-guessing.

This timely episode also sets the tone for Season 3, focusing on loving people well, leading wisely, and remembering that worship doesn’t stop just because the building is closed.

If you’ve ever watched the radar late at night and prayed for wisdom, this episode is for you.

As we close out Season Two of Equipped for Worship, Chuck invites you into a gentle, soul-refreshing conversation about ending the year with intention, gratitude, and grace. This episode is all about slowing down, remembering God’s faithfulness, and giving yourself permission to rest as you prepare for a brand-new year of ministry.

Hear heartfelt reflections from the season, along with special gratitude for our guests — Matthew Bone, Jason “Bubba” Stewart, and Dr. Matthew Nix. Through Scripture, encouragement, and honest pastoral insight, you’ll be reminded that God doesn’t call you to carry everything… and you don’t have to enter 2026 on empty.

If you’re tired, grateful, hopeful, or somewhere in between, this episode is a gentle companion for your journey into the new year.
