The Jubilee Sunset Hills Podcast

This episode explores how men are actually formed through discipleship, sound doctrine, and spiritual relationships. Bryan and Jordan discuss the relationship between Paul and Timothy, why so many men feel spiritually stuck, the myths and distractions that keep men passive, and why biblical truth is essential for courage, leadership, and conviction. They also unpack the role of spiritual fatherhood, mentorship, and the importance of men being both led and leading others.

What does it actually mean to be a man and why do so many men feel unsure of their identity? In this episode, we unpack the role model crisis shaping a generation, and why biblical manhood isn’t formed in isolation. From the voices that shaped us to the ones we’re missing, we talk about how identity is formed, why so many men feel stuck, and how the right people in your life can call out who God created you to be. If you’ve ever felt directionless or unsure of your role as a man, this conversation gets to the root and points toward a better way forward.

In this episode of the Jubilee Church Podcast, we explore why following Jesus was never meant to be done alone. From our connection with the Confluence family of churches to the heart behind shared mission and church planting, we talk about the power of spiritual family and doing ministry together. We also dive into the importance of brotherhood in a culture that pushes isolation and why real growth requires vulnerability, accountability, and intentional relationships. Finally, we unpack prayer as the language of dependence and what it looks like to truly connect with God in a deeper, more personal way.

In this episode, we reflect on a powerful celebration of life and the impact of a faith that endures beyond death, along with a few cultural moments shaping the conversation right now. The heart of this episode centers on a simple challenge. Most believers have a story, but many struggle to share it. We unpack how boldness flows from nearness to Jesus, not pressure or performance. Through practical tools like BLESS and real life examples, we talk about what it looks like to share your faith in everyday spaces. Finally, we address a deeper cultural lie about happiness and purpose. What if fulfillment is not found in creating your own path, but in living for something greater and helping others thrive? This episode is a call to live boldly and trust that your story matters.

In this episode, we briefly reflect on Easter and the reality that doubt has always surrounded the resurrection, just as it did for people like Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea. The core of the conversation centers on how truth is being handled today. We unpack the difference between misusing Scripture and distorting it, and why that distinction matters. Looking at real cultural examples, we talk about how the Bible is often used to support ideas it was never meant to, and what it looks like to interpret it faithfully. We also explore the tension of boldness and wisdom in young believers and the importance of real discipleship. Passion without formation can lead to unnecessary harm, even when the intent is right. Finally, we address a deeper issue many men are facing today. Without affirmation and direction, men often withdraw or react in unhealthy ways. What does it look like to call men up and form them with truth and purpose? This episode is a call to hold firmly to truth while intentionally developing people to live it out well.

As Holy Week begins, Bryan and Jordan reflect on what this season means and why it still matters by looking ahead to Good Friday and Easter while inviting us to keep Jesus at the center. They also share updates on upcoming worship moments and the Good Men Conference, including a new resource for young men. The conversation then turns to truth in a culture full of distortion. They unpack how ideas like individualism, prosperity, and cultural narratives can reshape the gospel, and respond to popular claims about Jesus, sexuality, abortion, and even the nature of God. With Scripture often quoted but redefined, they highlight why clarity around truth is more important than ever. To anchor it all, they walk through common objections to the resurrection and make a compelling case for its historical credibility. Because if Jesus truly rose from the dead, it changes everything... not just during Holy Week, but for all of life.

In this episode of the Jubilee Church Podcast, Bryan Mowrey is joined by special guests Willy and Sofi Verduzco from Origen Church in Guadalajara, Mexico, one of the catalytic churches in the Confluence family. They begin with an honest update on the current situation in Guadalajara and the realities of ministering in a region affected by cartel activity, sharing how the gospel continues to move forward even in challenging circumstances. The conversation then turns to technology. As leaders who have built a large online following while reaching people far beyond their city, Willy and Sofi talk about how they’ve learned to use digital tools intentionally without allowing them to dominate their lives, especially as we enter a season of digital fasting as a church. Bryan also explores how they cultivate a healthy culture in their home. Willy and Sofi share practical insight into building a strong marriage, raising children with purpose, and shaping a family culture centered on Jesus while leading a growing church. They close by reflecting on what excites them most about the future of the Confluence family of churches and where they see God leading us in the years ahead, especially the growing opportunity to reach and develop Spanish-speaking leaders and churches throughout the world. It’s a conversation full of wisdom, faith, and vision for what God is doing across nations.

After discussing the exciting week ahead at Confluence Leadership Conference and reflecting on ministry partnerships in Mexico, the conversation turns toward something deeper: the kind of wisdom our generation desperately needs. We live in a moment where access to information is endless, yet biblical wisdom often feels scarce. What does it actually mean when Proverbs tells us to “get wisdom”? How do we pursue it? We talk through the difference between knowledge and wisdom, the role surrender plays in shaping mature disciples, and why submission isn’t weakness but participation in the life of God and His church. From Scripture to social media, we explore how our sources of influence form us and how reordering them may be one of the most important spiritual decisions we make.
