Yes to Pause | Meet Ben and Samantha Blowers

There is an excitement associate with saying, "Yes." It comes from anticipation, the unknown or something new. But what about when saying, "yes" involves going back to where you started? We dive into that with Ben and Samantha Blowers, two people who have lived on both sides of saying "Yes."

Can I Pray For You? | The Schraffenberger Chapter

Pastor Shane sits down with his good friend Ryan Shraffenberger, a full-time RV traveler, entrepreneur, and someone who lives on mission every single day. What starts as a conversation about faith on the road turns into a powerful reminder that obedience doesn’t have to be complicated to be life-changing.

Freedom Shared | Part 3

Part 3 brings the journey full circle. Many people receive freedom. Some learn how to live in it. But most stop short of sharing it. In this final episode of the mini-series, Rick and Selina Tanori unpack what it means to move beyond Christ as Savior and step fully into Christ as Lord.

Freedom Lived | Part 2

In Part 2 of this mini-series, Rick and Selina Tanori invite us into a season most people don’t talk about—the quiet, hidden work of freedom lived. After freedom is given, God often leads people into a space of isolation, not as punishment, but as preparation. This episode explores how the Lord uses stillness, obscurity, and separation to solidify identity, heal wounds, and teach dependence before releasing someone into their calling.

Freedom Given | Meet Rick and Selina Tanori

What does freedom in Christ actually look like when it collides with real life? In Part 1 of this three-part mini-series, we meet Rick and Selina Tanori and step into their story — not the polished version, but the honest journey that led them to Jesus. They share where they came from, the moments that shaped them, and how an encounter with Christ brought freedom they couldn’t manufacture on their own.

Speaking Spanglish | Meet Chris Granados

Today I’m joined by Chris Granados (Westfield, IN) for a raw, hope-filled conversation about stepping out of the “machine,” obeying Jesus in a season of rest, and discovering church around restaurant tables, clubhouses, and living rooms—often in Spanglish. We talk calling, parenting five kids, date-night discipline, saying “yes” when doors open, and trusting God when they close. If you’ve ever felt called to gather neighbors outside a Sunday stage, this one’s for you.

Altitude Adjustment | Meet James and Mandy Hughes

In this episode, we sit down with James & Mandy Hughes of the Hughes Chapter (Gathering of Nomads) reporting in from South Fork, Colorado.

Rally Recap | Manton, MI

What happens when you say “yes” to God without having it all figured out?

Flood, Faith and Favor | Meet The Crisps

Don't Fight Alone | Meet Mike & Laura Moreno

No Days Off | Meet Joe & Tara Meyers

In this episode, we sit down with Joe and Tara Meyers, founders of World Share, a ministry born from one bold decision: to include God in every part of life—even vacation. After years of corporate travel and seeing communities in deep need, Joe and Tara felt called to something more. What began as a simple act of obedience on a cruise led to bags of supplies, divine appointments, and a full-blown family ministry across the globe.

Divine Encounter Part 2

What happens when a simple prayer collides with a divine appointment? In Part 2 of our Divine Encounter series, we pick up in downtown Phoenix where Tiffany prayed for God to raise someone up to reach the homeless and God answered with a man in a blue shirt named Frank Peters.

Divine Encounter Part 1

From Michigan to Arizona, from closed doors in Florida to an unexpected “yes” in the desert, Tiffany shares how obedience to God’s perfect will (not just His permissible will) led to a powerful day of ministry, healing, and a literal tattooed confirmation in the streets of Phoenix.

Discipleship 101

From leading churches in unconventional places (like a bar) to forming life-changing relationships around RV campfires, this conversation cuts through the noise around discipleship, evangelism, and spiritual programs.

The Almost

In Episode 2 of The Collective Thread, three pastors, Cody, Shane, and Cole, share raw, unscripted stories of pain, burnout, disillusionment, and near-collapse. But instead of quitting, they encountered Jesus in unexpected ways...in quicksand moments, closed churches, surgeries, and broken dreams.

Genesis

In this premiere episode, we lay the foundation for The Collective, which is a growing movement of ordinary people saying "yes" to an extraordinary call. From living in RVs to hosting neighbors in homes and gathering in gyms, restaurants, bars, or around campfires, these chapters of Neighbors and Nomads are uniting under The Collective, reimagining what the Church can be.
