Who’s Forming Our Kids? Dec 02, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach asks the question: who is forming our kids? He explores how our performance-obsessed culture–focused on grades, athletics, and achievement–is fueling anxiety, depression, and pressure among children, and he urges parents to instead ground their kids in God’s love and inherent value. When children know their worth comes from being made in God’s image, not from what they do, they can thrive spiritually, emotionally, and even academically.

Where Has Decency Gone? Nov 20, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach tackles a question many of us have been silently asking: Where has decency gone? After reading a Washington Post op-ed by former Indiana governor Mitch Daniels, he reflects on the sad reality that civility has become almost nonexistent in public life. Profanity, personal attacks, and humiliation have become political strategy — and most of us are exhausted by it.

But instead of simply agreeing that things have gotten ugly, Pastor Zach offers a biblical and practical roadmap for how Christians can lead the way back to decency.
