In this week's episode of Confessions of a Pastor, Pastor Keith and Kara take us behind the scenes of the spiritual and physical movement happening at Journey Church in Bend.

Building on the themes of spiritual warfare and the "weirdness" of the Kingdom, they dive into the idea that God's work is rarely silent or subtle when it begins to break through. They share raw, unfiltered stories about the tension between the "miseries and miracles" of ministry, reflecting on how the Kingdom of God isn't a quiet suggestion, but a powerful force that often disrupts our comfort to bring about true transformation.

Whether you’re navigating your own season of spiritual battle or looking for perspective on how God is moving in the Church today, this episode is a relentlessly real reminder that the Kingdom is moving, and it’s anything but quiet.

In this week’s episode of Confessions of a Pastor, Pastor Keith is joined by Pastor Kara for an honest and heartfelt conversation about the season we’re living in, how their personal lives often mirror what God is doing in the Church, and Easter at Journey Church!

Together, they reflect on the realities of today’s world—the tension, the hope, and the invitation to stay rooted in Jesus through it all. They share openly about how God has been moving in their own lives, and how those same themes are often reflected in the life of the Church as a whole.

This episode is real, encouraging, and full of perspective for anyone navigating our current culture or longing for deeper faith!

In this week’s episode of Confessions of a Pastor, Keith sits down with worship leader and songwriter Martin Smith for an honest and inspiring conversation about the global Church, the stories behind some of the songs that have shaped worship around the world, and what it really looks like to steward a lifelong relationship with Jesus.

Martin shares the heart and moments that led to writing some of his most well-known songs, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how worship is often born out of real encounters with God, seasons of faith, and deep personal devotion.

Together they also talk about the beauty and complexity of the worldwide Church — how God is moving across nations, what unity in the Body of Christ can look like, and why intimacy with Jesus must remain the foundation of it all.

This episode is full of wisdom, stories, and encouragement for anyone who loves worship, cares about the Church, or simply wants to grow deeper in their walk with Jesus.
