The Conversation with Adam Weber

Today on the podcast, I sat down with Brian Slipka. Brian is the founder of True North, a group of businesses that together bring in over a quarter billion dollars a year. But this isn’t just a business story. While visiting his dad in hospice, Brian was asked a question that completely shifted how he viewed success. It moved him from chasing profits and personal ambition, to living with eternal purpose. Now, Brian sees his work as worship. He’s using his influence and impact to point people to Jesus. And it’s powerful.

Conflict is inevitable in every relationship but how we handle it can make or break our marriage.  In today’s episode, I’m joined by Gabe & Rebekah Lyons as we dive into what it means to fight well.  Not married? They also share some advice for those who are dating and include their “red flags” for when to seek counseling (yes, it’s a good idea to do BEFORE you get married) and when to walk away. Through real stories (like how they got into a fight an hour before this interview!) and kind encouragement, you’ll learn ways to navigate disagreements with grace, humility and love. Whether you're dating, newly married or decades in, this conversation offers practical tools and insight to help turn conflict into connection - and draw you closer to your spouse and to God.

In today’s episode, I sit down with author Justin Whitmel Earley.  Justin’s career began as a missionary in China until becoming a business lawyer. Along the way, he faced a tough mental health crisis that changed everything for him. What came out of that season? A totally different way of living. One that was shaped by intentional habits and vulnerability.  We talk about the two spiritual habits he leans on the most, how being vulnerable can strengthen our friendships, and what it looks like to build deep connections with our kids (even in the midst of chaos).  He also shares about his book The Big Mess - a reminder that the messiness of life, especially with our kids, can actually be a gift.  Grab a copy of Justin’s new kids book: The Big Mess: https://amzn.to/3YHlxSi  Thanks to our amazing partners on this episode: International Justice Mission & Vern Eide International Justice Mission is a global nonprofit working to end slavery and violence around the world, taking special care of survivors from the moment they’re rescued all the way through their healing and restoration.

Today, I sit down with my good friend (and the pastor of another church in town), Pastor Phill Tague of Ransom Church. We question why it’s so rare for two pastors from the same town (Sioux Falls, South Dakota) to come together and associate with each other? Why is this so uncommon? We talk about the dynamics of pastor relationships which often includes jealousy, competition and comparison. This conversation isn’t just for ministry leaders. Whether you're in business, education, or any field where egos clash and vision competes, this one's for you! We talk about the ups and downs of doing ministry with people who share the same heart for reaching the lost, why saying “yes” to what God’s called us to matters so much, and how real, honest friendship can change everything.  Plus, Phill wrote a book and it’s amazing!
