  • Pastoral Care: Pastor Don Miller
    Jun 26 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode of the Experience Emerge Podcast, recorded live at a ministry convention in Orlando, we sit down with Pastor Don Miller, Superintendent of the Southern Missouri District of the Assemblies of God, for an honest conversation about the unique challenges of pastoral ministry.

    This conversation explores what it means to care well for those who spend their lives caring for others. From maintaining healthy priorities and protecting family relationships to avoiding the trap of allowing ministry work to replace a personal relationship with God, Pastor Don offers practical wisdom and biblical encouragement for pastors, ministry leaders, and anyone serving in God’s kingdom.

    One of the most powerful reminders from this conversation is that doing God’s work is not the same as being with God. Ministry can become another form of work if we neglect our own spiritual health. Healthy pastors lead healthier churches, and flourishing leaders create flourishing ministries.

    Whether you’re a pastor, ministry leader, church staff member, or someone who loves and supports your local church, this episode will challenge you to think differently about leadership, rest, and the importance of keeping your life in God’s intended order.

    If this conversation encourages you, share it with a pastor or ministry leader in your life as a reminder that their well-being matters.

  • We're All "Working" On It: Jeremy Pietrocini
    Jun 8 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Is work simply a necessary burden, or is it something much more? In this episode, we sit down with Jeremy Pietrocini from RECREATE to explore God’s design for work and why it matters more than we often realize.

    Many people view work as a consequence of the Fall, but Scripture tells a different story. Before sin entered the world, God gave humanity meaningful work in the Garden of Eden. Work was part of His original design—an opportunity to create, cultivate, steward, and partner with Him in bringing order and flourishing to the world.

    So why does work feel so difficult, frustrating, and exhausting at times? Jeremy helps us understand the difference between work itself and the curse that affected it after the Fall. Together, we discuss purpose, calling, identity, and how our relationship with work impacts our emotional, spiritual, and relational health.

    Whether you’re thriving in your vocation, struggling to find meaning in your job, or wondering how faith connects to your everyday work, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to see work through a biblical lens.

    Join us as we discover that work isn’t just what we do—it’s part of who God created us to be.
