In this episode of the Faith Adventure Podcast, Ps Paul and Jo Geerling continue their culture series with the culture of honour, one of the eight cultures at the heart of their church. Ps Jo shares what she noticed on a trip to America. Seeing communities openly honour servicemen and women made her ask whether Australians have lost something along the way. Ps Dave tells the Henry Ford dinner story, where one candidate got the job because of how he treated the people serving him. They look at honour flowing in three directions: Up: to God, church leaders, teachers, bosses and civic leaders, even when you disagree with them. Across: to peers, your spouse and your family. Down:To the people who serve you, your kids, volunteers and your wider community. Honour begins with honouring God. It also changes the atmosphere in your home, your church and your nation. Listen in, and consider who in your life you could honour this week. Like, subscribe, share and join the adventure! For more information about iSEE CHURCH visit: https://www.iseechurch.com/

Family is not a church program - it is God's design for how faith grows, heals, and gets passed on. Ps Paul and Jo Geerling unpack why a true culture of family changes everything, from the way a church welcomes new people to the way homes, teams, and generations are formed. They reveal why family is more than community, how Acts 2:42-44 shapes a healthy church, and why the enemy so often targets relationships, unity, and belonging. If you've ever wondered how church can feel less like a crowd and more like a home, this conversation gets practical fast. You'll discover: Why family is a biblical and supernatural idea, not just a nice valueHow prayer, fellowship, communion, and shared meals build real depthThe difference between being an attender and becoming part of the houseWhy connect groups, serving, and leadership are essential for maturityHow church culture can help the lonely, broken, or disconnected find belongingPs Paul and Jo also share personal stories from marriage, parenting, church leadership, and discipleship that show how family culture is formed in the everyday moments - not just on Sundays. From hard conversations and correction to hugs, meals, and practical care, they make the case that love, honour, truth, and responsibility are what keep a spiritual family healthy. This episode is especially for anyone who wants to go deeper in church, strengthen their home, or understand what it really means to live as part of the family of God. If you need a fresh vision for belonging, maturity, and making room for one more, this conversation will stir you. Like, subscribe, share and join the adventure!

A pastor’s son, a church in crisis, and one bold decision that turned a parking lot into a lifeline for a city.Pastor Paul Daugherty shares the inside story of building faith under pressure, leading through loss, and learning how to take a stand when fear says to shut everything down. Ps Paul Geerling and Ps Dave Hamers trace his journey from growing up in Tulsa in a ministry family that pioneered schools, Bible college, dream centres, and global missions, to inheriting the weight of a legacy after his father’s sudden passing.

You’ll discover:How Paul’s church responded when COVID fear tried to silence the missionWhy he believes bold obedience often comes before the miracleThe prison crusades that led 10,000 inmates to ChristThe mental battle behind leadership, depression, and “Jezebel in your head”How Scripture, counselling, confession, and renewed thinking became his way outWhy a simple declaration written on a napkin still shapes his church today Ps Paul Daugherty also unpacks the personal cost of transition, the pressure of carrying a father’s legacy, and the practical rhythms that helped him rebuild strength after losing thousands of people from the church.

Passion is not a personality trait - it's a fire you either tend or lose. Ps Paul Geerling, Ps Jo Geerling, and Ps David Hamers unpack why the culture of passion is one of iSEE Church's defining values, and how to move to a life that is visibly, joyfully, and powerfully centred on Jesus. What does a truly passionate follower of Jesus look like when life is busy, tiredness hits, and church becomes familiar? The answer goes far beyond hype or emotion. In this conversation, the pastors break down why passion shows up in praise, why outward expression matters, and why the real issue is often the heart. They also share how their own convictions were shaped by family, ministry, and years of seeing what happens when believers stop treating faith like a routine. You'll discover: Why passion is meant to be seen, not just feltHow praise shifts your focus from yourself back to GodWhat the Bible's language about first love, fire, and fan into flame means for everyday believersHow prayer, fasting, church attendance, and connect groups help keep spiritual momentum alive The episode also gets practical about the things that quietly drain passion - offence, familiarity, self-reliance, and spiritual laziness. The pastors talk honestly about how even leaders can grow weary, drift into profession, or let the fire dim if they stop guarding their hearts and tending to what God has placed inside them. If you've ever wondered how to stay alive spiritually without faking enthusiasm, this conversation gives you a clear, biblical, and deeply encouraging way forward. Perfect for anyone who wants fresh fire in their walk with Jesus, stronger devotion, and a faith that actually looks like faith. Like, subscribe, share and join the adventure!

The Church Is Not a Restaurant - It’s a Family That Grows You Up Ps Banning Liebscher makes a bold case that consumer Christianity is quietly killing maturity, and he shows why the real answer to a coming harvest is not more polished services but believers who are willing to encourage, pray for, give to, and walk with other people. You'll discover: Why consumerism is undermining spiritual maturity in Western churchesThe difference between treating church like a family versus a restaurantWhy challenge and love are meant to exist togetherA simple, repeatable discipleship approach anyone can do: encourage, pray, and giveWhy Banning believes the church must “strengthen the nets” before a great harvest comes in Banning argues that discipleship is not a platform ministry reserved for pastors - it is the everyday calling of the body of Christ. He shares the conviction that real transformation happens when ordinary believers take responsibility for one another, just like family members do, and when churches stop outsourcing spiritual growth to programs. If you care about leadership, church health, spiritual growth, or how to prepare for a genuine move of God, this episode will challenge and encourage you. Essential listening for pastors, leaders, and anyone who wants to see a stronger, deeper, more activated church.
