Agile in 3 Minutes

Bryan and Katie Torwalt’s recent EP, Praise Before My Breakthrough, is a bit unusual for worship artists. It’s a deeply personal collection of songs talking about struggle, pain and trusting God in the midst of hard seasons. It doesn’t have the neatly tied up answers. It wasn’t written on the “victory” side of things. It’s vulnerable and a little bit messy. Listen in as the couple joins Cameron to talk about the project, their journeys—and even geeking out a little at the Grammys.

Caitlin Crosby is an artist, activist and founder of innovative fashion brand The Giving Keys. It all started when she had the idea to make custom jewelry from repurposed keys to connect people, share empowering messages and help lift people out of homelessness in Los Angeles. Listen as Cameron talks to her about the growth of The Giving Keys, what she’s learned leading it and the challenges and opportunities of her unique purpose-driven model.

Bob Goff is one of the world’s most inspiring people. That sounds like a bold claim, but the “recovering lawyer” (his words) not only travels the world as an activist and philanthropist, his best-selling books Love Does and Everybody Always have motivated millions of others to find ways that they too can change the world. On this episode of Unedited, Cameron talks to Bob about how to live a life of purpose, the importance of making margin, the power of meaningful relationships and a lot more.

Annie F. Downs is a best-selling author, popular podcaster and highly sought-after speaker. And, this week on an emotional Unedited, she and Cameron have a deep conversation about understanding God’s calling, making sense of unexpected turns in life, relationships and a lot more.

On today's episode of Unedited, Cameron sits down with Tyler Reagin. Tyler Reagin is the head of Christian leadership organization Catalyst. When he took over the position, Catalyst was about putting pastors in arena conferences, but Tyler's taken it upon himself to rebuild their entire strategy, one based on a nonprofit structure and a missional foundation. His new book, The Life-Giving Leader, explains some of it, but he explains more of it here, unedited as always.

This week on Unedited, Cameron sits down with indie music icon Josh Tillman—also known as Father John Misty. Last year, after an exchange with RELEVANT on Twitter, Josh invited Cameron to his home for an in-depth conversation about faith, music, his own upbringing and the problems with modern Christianity, that also ended up as a RELEVANT magazine cover story.   In part one, Cameron and Josh talk about the Twitter back-and-forth that led to the interview, as well as their similar histories with the church, Calvinism and how Tillman see’s himself as an artist with a message that all Christians should hear.

On today’s episode, Cameron sits down with author and former World Vision president Rich Stearns. Rich was a very successful corporate CEO, which you’ll hear about, and he left it all for something more significant. For the last 20 years he’s led World Vision USA, the largest Christian humanitarian organization in the world. World Vision works in relief efforts, holistic development and advocacy—working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice. World Vision has a unique strategy of holistic change. They work in communities to make sustainable impact affecting education, health care, economic development, and the promotion of justice. The goal is always to eventually hand the keys over and leave. They work with local leadership to give a hand-up, not just hand-outs. It’s not hyperbole to say that Rich Stearns’ vision, faith and leadership has literally saved millions of lives and changed the world. Rich’s story shows how the gospel—the whole gospel—was always meant to be a world changing social revolution. And it’s a revolution that begins with each of us.

Carl Lentz is the pastor of Hillsong New York City. He’s outspoken, passionate, stylish, and— probably because he’s outspoken, passionate and stylish—is no stranger to criticism. He pastors celebrities, athletes and one of the most influential churches in America. Listen in as he and Cameron talk candidly about the criticism after his appearance on The View, the pressure of representing the Church in mainstream culture, dealing with critics, his views on life issues, racism, justice, grace and truth. Get to know the man behind the leather jacket.
