Pastors David Lindell and Brandon Lindell of James River Church Launch Inspiring New Podcast, 'Path to Purpose'

The podcast debuted on July 1, 2025, with its premiere episode, "When Faith Feels Like a Fight," featuring bestselling author and Fresh Life Church lead pastor Levi Lusko. In a deeply personal conversation, Lusko, alongside the Lindell brothers, explores mental health, masculinity, purpose, and spiritual resilience, offering a vulnerable yet empowering look at what it means to live with God-given courage in a chaotic world.

Designed for individuals hungry for spiritual growth, leadership insight, and honest conversations, Path to Purpose equips men and women to walk in their God-given purpose. The show regularly features some of the most influential Christian voices of our time, including upcoming guests like Rich Wilkerson Jr., Oneka McClellan, Bill Johnson, Chad Veach, Martin Smith, and Earl McClellan.

"We created this podcast because we believe every person was made on purpose and for a purpose," said David Lindell, co-host and pastor at James River Church. "Our goal is to have honest conversations that challenge and encourage listeners—whether they're in leadership, parenting, or navigating personal growth."

The Lindell brothers are no strangers to motivating others toward bold, Christ-centered living. Their recently released book, Lionhearted, has already ignited conversations around biblical masculinity, spiritual resilience, and leadership in modern culture. The podcast builds on that foundation—offering in-depth, unscripted conversations with faith leaders who have walked the hard roads of calling, failure, redemption, and breakthrough.

"Our heart is to help people live intentionally—spiritually, emotionally, and practically," said David Lindell from James River Church. "These are the conversations we're already having with close friends, and we believe they can help strengthen the Church and challenge people to grow."

With a growing hunger for authenticity in Christian leadership, Path to Purpose offers more than just theological teaching—it's a front-row seat to real conversations that encourage, challenge, and equip believers in every season of life. Whether you're a ministry leader, a young professional, or someone rediscovering faith, this podcast offers timely wisdom for today's spiritual climate.

Each episode is released on the first Tuesday of every month and is available on all major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
