Wake Up, Look Back: Zach Revisits His Take on School Shootings Jul 09, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of Wake Up Look Up, Pastor Zach revisits a deeply sobering topic: the response to school shootings and the Christian tendency to default to blame. Instead of asking, “Who’s at fault?”, Pastor Zach challenges listeners to lean into lament, love for neighbor, and gospel-sharing as tools that actually move us toward healing. In a world that keeps breaking, the church is called to be a people who cry out to God, draw others in, and offer lasting hope through Jesus.

Wake Up, Look Back: Zach Revisits His Take on Love Without Compromise Jul 07, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of Wake Up Look Up, Pastor Zach revisits one of the podcast’s most engaging conversations—how to hold both truth and love when it comes to sexuality and faith. Using Pope Francis’ mixed messaging on same-sex relationships as a launch point, Pastor Zach challenges listeners to surrender their personal definitions of love to God, who is love. Real love, he reminds us, means aligning with what God has said is true—even when it’s hard.

Wake Up, Look Back: Zach Revisits His Take on Jordan Peterson Jul 02, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of Wake Up Look Up, Pastor Zach revisits a listener-favorite episode exploring whether Christians should listen to Jordan Peterson. While acknowledging the value in Peterson’s emphasis on responsibility and moral clarity, Pastor Zach offers a caution: even wisdom that sounds biblical must be measured against the Word of God.
