The Church Talk Podcast

Weekly conversations about culture, theology, leadership, and God’s mission for the Church in the world today

Mission of the Church Talk Project

We're committed to coming alongside church leaders and helping them build healthy ministries and healthy lives.

If you are a pastor of any kind, at any size church or ministry, we are here for you. If you are a church leader (paid or volunteer) we think you are the bee’s knees! When you are with us, you are with family. So loosen up that tie, take off your jacket, and get comfortable. You are safe here.

Create an environment that connects with pastors and leaders where they are and gives them a vision of what could be.

Equip

Provide high-level training and tools for pastors and leaders.

Encourage

Jason, Rob, & Courtney have a great conversation with Pastor Nick Daleo of Proving Ground Church in Lakehurst, NJ. His process of becoming a pastor and teacher is pretty unique, but in the process he learned some great lessons about authenticity and finding your voice as a leader. Whether you have been a lead pastor for decades, are just starting out, or you’re a leader in your job or community (or home!), you will find some gold in today’s conversation!

Pastor Nick has been in ministry for over 20 years before planting Proving Ground Church in 2020. As PGC’s lead pastor, Pastor Nick is the primary communicator on Sunday Mornings. Pastor Nick oversees the entire staff and church operations and seeks to stay true to PGC’s mission of “Loving people where they’re at because Christ loves us where we are.” Pastor Nick serves diligently with our district, Converge Mid-Atlantic to coach other church planters and discuss issues around church leadership, biblical diversity, marriage longevity, and more. Nick and his wife Tracey have three grown children.

Rob & Jason sat down with the rising star, comedian Andrew Stanley before he headlined Comedy Night in Columbus, Ohio in September. Andrew grew as the grandson of the legendary Charles Stanley and son of the nationally known Andy Stanley. The conversation is filled with laughter and great insights for pastors and leaders who want to help their kids find their God-given calling.

Andrew Stanley grew up as a homeschooled preacher’s kid, so it was unlikely that he would ever find love, become a comedian, or contribute to society in a meaningful way. Two out of three is not too bad! Now a husband and fast-rising stand-up comedian, Andrew has been performing all over the country. He was selected as the New Face of Comedy at Montreal’s prestigious Just For Laughs Comedy Festival and he appeared on Nate Bargatze’s “The Showcase” on Nateland in 2023.
