Wait Chad Higgins is a verb now?
In this episode, we're excited to welcome Christian Moore to the garage floor!

Join us for a fun and lighthearted conversation where we imagine Chad Higgins' latest adventures—most likely cracking jokes at a Waffle House—and share our own quirky late-night memories from this iconic spot. We talk favorite orders and those infamous Waffle House training videos that are part of its charm.

Does ministry need a dramatic calling moment?
Christian takes us through his journey from Tulsa’s church sanctuary, where he found peace during family struggles, to a surprising path into youth ministry. Even with a start in physical therapy, Christian’s heart for students led him to step away from jobs and dive into ministry. With encouragement from a pastor, he realized that natural gifts and a passion for serving others are all it takes to make a meaningful impact.

Let’s talk relational discipleship!
Christian shares practical ways to connect with all students, not just the regulars—like sending simple texts or showing up at community events. We also dive into empowering students through serve teams, deepening discipleship, and staying humble as a ministry leader.

We wrap up by discussing how sermon planning evolves and the exciting "Year of the Devoted" model, helping students apply biblical truths in real, impactful ways. You don’t want to miss this episode filled with laughter, heart, and great ministry insights!

Make sure to tune in for ministry tips, stories, and inspiration!
