What if the most profound revelations of God’s presence don’t happen on mountaintops or in dramatic moments, but in the ordinary rhythms of everyday life?

In this episode, I sit down with Rev. James A. Harnish to talk about his newest book, Everyday Epiphanies: Meeting Christ in the Ordinary Moments of Life. Drawing from stories in the gospels and insights from decades of ministry, Jim invites us to recognize the extraordinary presence of Christ in the seemingly ordinary details of our days.

Together, we explore questions like:

• What is an “epiphany,” and how can you recognize one in your own life?
• Why do so many of us miss God’s everyday revelations?
• How can practicing awareness of Christ’s presence shape our faith, our relationships, and our daily walk with God?

Whether you’re looking for encouragement in your spiritual journey or fresh ways to see God at work in your daily life, this conversation will help you slow down, pay attention, and notice the extraordinary in the ordinary.

What if church felt more like a Discord server than a pew? In this episode, we talk with Nathan Webb, aka the Nerd Pastor, founder of Checkpoint Church—a digital faith community created specifically for nerds, geeks, and gamers.

Nathan shares the origin story of Checkpoint Church, which launched in 2020 with a vision to engage Comic-Con communities but pivoted fully online during the pandemic. Today, it thrives on platforms like Twitch and Discord, offering a unique spiritual home for three key groups: people who love Jesus, clergy seeking community, and those recovering from hurtful church experiences.

We explore how Nathan weaves faith into fandom, connecting gospel themes with video games like One Shot and anime narratives that reflect sacrifice, resurrection, and hope. He also speaks candidly about the realities of digital church planting and what it means to truly show up in online spaces.
