Lucas shares a personal story of walking through 13 months with no baptisms, followed by an unexpected season of fruitfulness, and the struggle that came with it.

The Reading Habits That Shape Powerful Preachers
What should pastors and church leaders be reading—and does fiction belong on the list?

Fasting Without Missing the Point: Prayer, Pride, and Self-Denial | The Church Resource Podcast
In this episode of The Church Resource, Lucas Pinckard and Dr. Chris Respass have a practical, honest conversation about fasting in the life of the church—why we do it, how to plan it wisely, and how to avoid missing the point. As many churches consider beginning-of-the-year fasts, they explore key leadership questions: When should a church fast? How long should it last? How restrictive should it be? Drawing from real ministry experience, they discuss why some churches fast midyear while others fast in January, and how factors like congregational background, health, fellowship, and major events shape th...

Are You Serving Your Community—or Just Imitating Someone Else's?
What does it really mean for a church to know and serve its community? In this episode of The Church Resource Podcast, Lucas Pinckard—proudly identifying as the "world's okayest pastor"—sits down with Dr. Chris Respass to unpack one of the most practical and often overlooked principles of effective ministry: executing the community. Building on ideas introduced by Mark Clifton, Lucas and Chris explore how easy it is for pastors and church leaders to become immersed in church culture while unintentionally losing touch with the people right outside their doors.
