“Conjuring? In this episode, we explore the crucial difference between truly inviting the Holy Spirit and trying to conjure up a spiritual experience by simply copying what we’ve seen others do. We talk about why vain repetitions and manufactured moments fall flat, and how a genuine invitation opens the door to something real and powerful.”

In Episode Four, we sit down with our cousins Mark and Lori Carouthers — longtime music pastors who spent years traveling, leading worship, and eventually planting a church. They share the highs and lows of full-time ministry, what it’s like when it feels like you’re “too old” for today’s youth-driven worship culture, and how they’ve stayed faithful through every season. It’s honest, encouraging, and full of wisdom for anyone serving in ministry.
