  Episode #6

  The State of Trek

  Aug 31, 202624 minS2

  Keeping the Faith Pastor Brian takes a thoughtful and passionate look at the state of Trek today—where the franchise has come, where it seems to be heading, and what he hopes the future holds for the stories and characters we love. And, of course, Pastor Brian talks about his all-time favorite Star Trek film! He might even offer his best Worf and Picard impersonations! But this conversation goes deeper than phasers, starships, and favorite episodes. With plenty of heart, passion, and faith, Pastor Brian brings the discussion back to something bigger: the importance of believing that good things—and even better things—are still ahead. Sometimes the future can feel uncertain. Sometimes the journey doesn't go the way we expected. But just like the best Trek stories remind us, we keep moving forward. Have faith. Keep hope alive. Believe that the best is yet to come. Listen now and join the conversation! This podcast is a proud part of the Trek Geeks Podcast Network!

  Jonathan Pike: The Search For Truth

  Aug 24, 202642 minS2

  Trek and Faith What happens when you bring two Trekkies together for a conversation about faith, family, adversity, and the stories that inspire us? You get a great conversation with my special guest, Jonathan Pike! Jonathan is a Trekkie, husband, father, and—most importantly—an all-around great guy who makes it his goal every day to be positive and encouraging to the people around him. In this episode, Jonathan opens up about how his faith shapes who he is, how he tries to respond when life gets difficult, and what it means to remain encouraging even when adversity comes our way. And, of course, we couldn't have a conversation between two Trekkies without talking some Star Trek! Jonathan shares his all-time favorite Trek film with Pastor Brian, and the two have a fantastic time talking fandom, favorite moments, and what makes Trek so special. It's a conversation about much more than Star Trek. It's about faith, perseverance, encouragement, family, and finding reasons to stay positive when life doesn't go according to plan. If you're a Trekkie who loves Jesus, this is an episode you won't want to miss! This podcast is a proud part of the Trek Geeks Podcast Network!
