In this episode, Brad Schelling and Steve Cherrico are joined by Larry Bragg, Director of First Priority Metro East, to kick off our new series on First Priority's Personnel Values. The conversation begins with stories of God's faithfulness from across the ministry, including a thriving new Club and student-led growth on campuses. The focus then shifts to our first personnel value: Christ Follower. Larry shares how God called him into First Priority, why following Christ must come before pursuing ministry goals, and how bold faith can influence entire families, schools, and communities. Together, the team discusses radical obedience, encouraging student leaders, staying grounded in Scripture, and what it looks like to remain close to Christ during busy seasons of ministry.
