Victory Church: Paul Daugherty

In episode 10, John and Arvin discuss their approach to storytelling specifically for Victory Church's audience. Creatives and skill-specific employees in churches can have a tough time aligning their gifts and talents with the direction and destination of their leaders, but this is a key season in the development of any artist. It's the season of being a "Craftsmen." John and Arvin lay out the imperative nature of this time period in order for an artist to develop without being subverted by the world or made redundant by cliches and tropes. 

This episode of the Best Days podcast was recorded live in Tulsa, OK at Victory Church's Midweek service the night before Thanksgiving in 2025. John and Arvin preached on the importance of hope and endurance in the Christian life.

Victory's Creative Pastor John Daugherty and his assistant Arvin Sepehr spend episode 8 of the Best Days podcast series reminiscing on a lifetime of being pastor's kids in their parents' prayer meetings, the bravery it takes to stay faithfully planted in a church community long-term, and the sort of life that can only be experienced on the other side of submission to God-ordained principles. 

In episode 7, John and Arvin dive into Christian upbringing, the importance of knowing when to end something, and the gratitude one should feel to the generation who raised them.
