| 8/27/26 | Get to Know Our ARISE Pastors: A Conversation with Pastor Josh Jordan | Our Summer Series continues as Dr. Brent Simpson sits down with Pastor Josh Jordan for a conversation about family, faith, sports, ministry, and the moments when God's plans took his life in a completely different direction. First, we learn one very important thing about Pastor Josh: he loves sushi! Pastor Josh shares what it was like growing up, including eight years of his childhood spent on a farm. Homeschooled and raised with a love for the outdoors, some of his earliest memories include camping, horseback riding, playing sports, and being involved in church. His family eventually traded farm life for the suburbs, but their home continued to be anything but ordinary. Over the years, his family opened their doors to foster 19 children, giving Pastor Josh a unique perspective on family, compassion, and caring for others. Sports were also a huge part of his life. He played quarterback on his football team, but baseball became his greatest passion as a teenager. Primarily playing shortstop, Pastor Josh eventually went to college to pursue baseball. But during his first year, God began changing the direction of his life. Although he had given his life to the Lord at 12 years old, his first year of college became a defining season in his faith. He was filled with the Holy Spirit, heard God's voice in a way he never had before, and began asking questions that were bigger than baseball. God also set him free from addiction and began revealing a completely different purpose for his future. That journey eventually took Pastor Josh to Brazil for a month-long missions trip where God met him in a powerful way. The math major who thought his future would revolve around numbers and baseball suddenly found himself being called into ministry. Pastor Josh shares what it looked like to surrender his own plans and pursue God's call, even when the path didn't look anything like what he originally imagined. His journey into full-time ministry began as a Kids Pastor, leading to some incredible and unforgettable moments serving children and families. Now, after 13 years in ministry, Pastor Josh reflects on what has surprised him most about serving people and the moments that have marked him along the way. One of the most meaningful was watching his own daughter experience the presence of God for herself. He also shares the story of how God brought him to ARISE Church and why the presence of the Holy Spirit is one of the things he loves most about serving here. And there's one more thing you probably wouldn't guess about Pastor Josh and his family: they're decorated horseback riders! From farm life and foster siblings to baseball, missions, ministry, and family, Pastor Josh's story is a reminder that sometimes the future we imagine for ourselves looks completely different from the future God is preparing for us. When God calls, our job is to be willing to follow. Do you have a question for Pastor Josh Jordan?

| 8/20/26 | Get to Know Our ARISE Pastors: A Conversation with Pastor José Medina | Our Summer Series continues as Dr. Brent Simpson sits down with Pastor José Medina, Pastor of ARISE Español, for a conversation about faith, family, ministry, restoration, and the unexpected ways God can use every part of our story. If Pastor José could take his dream vacation anywhere, there's one place at the top of his list: Israel. His dream is to one day walk where Jesus walked and experience the places he's spent his life reading about in Scripture. Born in Puerto Rico, Pastor José spent the first 12 years of his life surrounded by the mountains and beauty of the island. His grandfather was a farmer, and some of his earliest memories include picking and selling coffee, exploring the forest, riding bikes, discovering creeks and bamboo, and getting lost on adventures. Think of him as a Puerto Rican Tom Sawyer! His grandparents were also people of deep faith who had an incredible influence on his life. Growing up in church gave Pastor José a spiritual foundation that would become especially important later in his story. In this conversation, Pastor José shares when he gave his life to Christ, how he learned English, and how his journey in ministry began at just 14 years old. He also opens up about one of the most difficult seasons of his life. After going through a divorce, he walked away from the church for a time, but the foundation that had been built in his relationship with the Lord remained. Eventually, God brought him back and continued writing his ministry story. Pastor José reflects on what has surprised him most about ministry and shares a season of serving that he will never forget. He also tells the incredible and unexpected story of how a lost dog ultimately helped lead him to ARISE Church. What began as an unexpected connection eventually became a new chapter of ministry as Pastor José helped plant ARISE Español. Today, he shares what he loves most about serving at ARISE, his heart for reaching the Spanish-speaking community, and even a few things you might not know about him, including his experience working for Apple. Pastor José's story is a powerful reminder that even when our journey takes turns we never expected, God can use our foundation, our experiences, and even the most unlikely circumstances to lead us exactly where He wants us to be.

| 8/13/26 | Get to Know Our ARISE Pastors: A Conversation with Pastor Jeremiah McAnulty | Our Summer Series continues as Dr. Brent Simpson sits down with Pastor Jeremiah McAnulty, Youth Pastor at ARISE Church South Lakeland, for a conversation about growing up in church, finding his own faith, discovering his call to ministry, and seeing God work through the next generation. And before we get too serious, we learn one very important fact about Pastor Jeremiah: he's team Cocoa Pebbles. Born in Louisiana and the son of ARISE Executive Pastor Ken McAnulty, Pastor Jeremiah grew up surrounded by church and ministry. But being a pastor's kid didn't mean he had everything figured out. He shares what he was like as a self-described "knucklehead" growing up, his years in the gifted program, his love for math and school, and how he wrestled with arrogance during his high school years. Pastor Jeremiah also takes us back to his first day at Brandon Assembly, which happened to be during a youth service. Nearly 12 years later, ARISE has become an important part of his story, from attending as a student to now serving on staff, and leading students himself. In this episode, he opens up about his salvation experience, the vision God gave him at 18 years old that confirmed his call to ministry, and the journey that eventually led him into youth ministry. He also shares the story of meeting his future wife when they were just 12 years old before eventually beginning to date at 18. After three years on staff at ARISE, Pastor Jeremiah reflects on what has surprised him most about ministry: just how fulfilling it is to watch God work in people's lives. From his own years in youth ministry to now leading the next generation, his story is a reminder of what God can do through a life surrendered to His calling.

| 7/30/26 | Get to Know Our ARISE Pastors: A Conversation with Pastor Pete Kramer | Our Summer Series continues as Dr. Brent Simpson sits down with Pastor Pete Kramer, Teaching Pastor at ARISE Church, for a conversation full of laughter, incredible stories, and practical wisdom about serving Jesus through the local church. From growing up in a Christian home to being a proud product of the church van ministry, Pastor Pete shares how God used faithful people and consistent service to shape the course of his life. Homeschooled and heavily involved in church from a young age, he talks about serving as a teenager, discovering God's call to ministry, and how serving the local church became the foundation of his faith. Known for his quick wit and legendary dad jokes, Pastor Pete also shares hilarious stories from his childhood, including the driver's license photo where he somehow stood only 5'9" long. But beyond the humor are powerful moments that have marked his life and ministry. You'll hear incredible testimonies of God's faithfulness, including the miraculous healing of his son, the unforgettable story of a Buddhist monk giving his life to Jesus, and what 17 years of ministry have taught him about the importance of being continually filled before pouring into others. Whether you've heard Pastor Pete preach many times or are just getting to know him, this conversation offers a deeper look at the heart, humility, and passion behind ARISE Church's Teaching Pastor.

| 7/23/26 | Get to Know Our ARISE Pastors: A Conversation with Pastor Ken McAnulty | Our Summer Series continues as Dr. Brent Simpson sits down with the man, the myth, the legend himself, Pastor Ken McAnulty, Executive Pastor at ARISE Church. Have you ever wondered what an Executive Pastor actually does? In this episode, Pastor Ken gives an inside look at his role, shares the story of how God called him to ARISE Church, and reflects on nearly three decades of ministry. Growing up as a pastor's kid, Pastor Ken experienced both the blessings and the expectations that often come with ministry. Although many know him today as a confident leader, he shares what it was really like growing up as a quiet, introverted, self-proclaimed nerd who moved around frequently. From giving his life to Christ at a kids crusade to discovering God's call on his life, Pastor Ken's story is one of faithfulness, humility, and God's direction every step of the way. Along the way, you'll also learn about his love for Michigan football, his favorite fiction and nonfiction books, hear some fun stories, and discover the defining moment in his 28 years of ministry that continues to shape the way he leads today. Whether you've attended ARISE for years or you're just getting to know Pastor Ken, this conversation offers a deeper look at the heart, wisdom, and servant leadership behind one of the key leaders of our church.
