Who's Your Empty Chair?

Send us Fan MailCyle, Ryan, and Mark record with a literal empty chair — two regulars are out — but it ends up being the perfect backdrop for this episode. They recap a landmark moment for their church: canceling regular Sunday services to gather 700 people (including visitors from as far as California, Virginia, and Pennsylvania) at a beach campground for an outdoor worship service under a big tent. Cyle shares the message he preached — "The Empty Chair" — a challenge to think about the lost people in your life and what you're doing to invite them in. Ryan shares his own story of being someone else's "empty chair" before he was invited to Heart of Lakes, and the guys get into the real, relational side of sharing faith without pressure or fear.
