What does it look like to step into a new year with clarity, lightness, and a deeper trust in God?

In this kickoff conversation for 2026, we sit down as friends to reflect honestly on what the last year taught us and what God may be inviting us into next. Together, we explore leadership when clarity is missing, why doubling down on what we do know can ground us in uncertain seasons, and how healthy organizations often rise or fall on just a few core practices. We also move beyond strategy into the heart—talking about owning our truth, the cost of avoiding discomfort, and how real integration happens in our relationships with God and others. As we look ahead, we wrestle with ambition, rest, joy, and what it means to carry a light yoke while stepping into significant calling. Our hope is that this conversation invites you to pause, reflect, and enter the year ahead with trust, grace, and a renewed sense of expectancy.

What if God is inviting us into something far bigger than we imagined?

In this end-of-year conversation, hosts Robby Angle and Benjamin Crawshaw look back on a transformative season for Trueface and share the unexpected ways God has redirected our steps. We reflect on 30 years of ministry, the beauty of generational trust from our founders, and the launch of The Path—a fresh articulation of grace designed to help all of us experience Jesus in a more deeply relational way.

We also open up about the “holy interruption” that shifted our plans for 2025 and beyond. Through ambassador trainings, pastor gatherings, and surprising moments of clarity, we sensed God calling us to serve the capital-C Church with greater boldness—dreaming about equipping 10,000 churches with a thriving culture of discipleship.

In this family-style episode, we share how God is shaping our vision, what we’re learning about dependence and courage, where your partnership matters most, and why we’re more hopeful than ever about what God is doing in His Church.

If you’re part of the Trueface tribe—whether you pray, give, serve, or simply listen—this one is for you. Merry Christmas, and we can’t wait for what’s ahead.

What if we’ve been measuring spiritual growth by all the wrong metrics?

In this episode, we sit down with our friend and teammate Benjamin Crawshaw to explore why so many of us feel stuck or discouraged in our discipleship journey—and why churches often feel the same. Together, we unpack the heart of Trueface’s “outcomes of spiritual growth” framework and ask the deeper questions: What are we actually aiming for? How do we know if discipleship is working? And why does love—not knowledge, effort, or productivity—always reveal true maturity?

We reflect on our own stories, the pastors we’ve met, and the countless conversations that led us to a simple but disruptive conviction: discipleship is the process of growing in love of God and others. From understanding our view of God, to maturing in authentic relationships, to overflowing love into the world—this episode invites us to breathe, slow down, and step into the long, patient work of becoming whole disciples.

If you’ve ever felt behind, confused, or weighed down by the pressure to “get discipleship right,” this conversation will give you hope, clarity, and a fresh vision of the life Jesus makes possible.
