Lead pastor of The Journey Church, Rev. Carolyn Steeves joins CBS Ambassador, Rev. Dr. Andrew Stirling in this episode of Scripture Untangled. Together they explore how Scripture, prayer, discipleship, and authentic community can help the next generation encounter God. Carolyn also shares her own story – a journey of calling, leadership and learning to trust God through Sabbath, silence and rest.

In this episode, Carolyn and Andrew discuss:

  • How Carolyn’s calling developed gradually through serving, preaching, leadership and affirmation from the Christian community.
  • The challenges young people face: isolation, social media, algorithms, screens and the pressures of contemporary culture.
  • Why Carolyn’s church is emphasizing discipleship, spiritual disciplines, device-free community and going through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.
  • Finding a Healthy Rhythm of Work and Rest: why Sabbath and spiritual retreat are essential practices rather than luxuries in a busy life.
