The Lyle Phillips Podcast

In this season finale episode, Pastor Lyle sits down with his friend and Nashville neighbor Pastor Noah Herrin — lead pastor of Way Church, one of the most exciting young churches in Nashville, Tennessee — for a conversation that is equal parts personal, pastoral, and deeply practical.

This is not just a conversation about church planting — but about identity, unity, and what it looks like to build something for the Kingdom when everything is working against you.

Noah shares the origin story of Way Church, the moment Legacy Church stepped in when their venue fell through, and what it has meant to build in a city where pastors actually root for each other. And together, Lyle and Noah get into the things most church planters don't talk about — scrappiness, setup and tear down, knowing who you are and who you're called to reach, and what it means to steal people from hell instead of from other churches.

Together, they explore questions every pastor, planter, and leader needs to sit with:
 • What does it actually mean to know who God has called you to reach — and say no to everyone else?
• How do you handle people leaving your church without losing your peace?
• What is the hidden gift inside the setup and tear down season?
• What does genuine pastoral unity in a city actually look like — and why does it matter?
• How do you build a church culture that people want to give their lives to?

This episode is warm, honest, and full of the kind of wisdom that only comes from two pastors who've been in the trenches together. It's the perfect close to Season One — and a reminder that the best thing the Church can do is lock arms and reach its city together.

In this episode, Pastor Lyle sits down with Vance Roush — campus pastor of The Father's House Los Gatos and CEO and founder of Overflow, one of the world's leading fintech organizations driving innovative generosity for churches and nonprofits across the globe — for a conversation that sits right at the intersection of faith, entrepreneurship, and the heart of God for a generous world.

This is not a conversation about business strategy or startup culture — but about calling, identity, and what it looks like to build something extravagant for the Kingdom when everything inside you is telling you it's too much. Vance shares the origin story of how Overflow came to be, the DNA that makes a founder, and why he believes God is not finished using innovation, technology, and generosity to transform the Church and the world.

Together, they explore questions every entrepreneur, leader, and dreamer needs to sit with:
• What is the DNA of a founder — and how do you know if you have it?
• How do you build a vision that is bigger than yourself without losing yourself in it?
• What is the intersection of faith, culture, and technology — and where is it headed?
• What does God's heart for generosity actually look like in a modern, digital world?
• How can extravagant generosity become the most powerful witness the Church has?

This episode is for the entrepreneur wrestling with identity, the leader whose vision feels like it's missing something, and anyone who feels the tug toward something bigger than themselves. Our hope is that it gives you the language, the courage, and the conviction to build generously — and trust God with what you can't yet see.

In this episode, Pastor Lyle sits down with his friend Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. — founder and lead pastor of VOUS Church in Miami.

This is not a conversation about strategy or success — but about faithfulness, growth, and what it looks like to keep dreaming with God as you take on mileage over the years. Rich opens up about the journey of planting VOUS, the lessons only time and trial can teach, and why the most important thing a leader can do is look back before moving forward.

Together, they explore questions every leader and believer needs to sit with:
• What is prophetic hindsight — and why does every leader need to practice it?
• How do you keep dreaming bigger the longer you've been doing this?
• What does it mean to stop crying the same tears you cried last year?
• How do you build a church culture that carries God's fingerprints?
• What does it look like to brand what people demand and lean fully into your strengths?

This episode is honest, warm, and full of the kind of pastoral wisdom that only comes from years of showing up. Our hope is that it gives you fresh eyes for your past — and fresh faith for your future.

In this episode, Pastor Lyle sits down with his friend and neighbor Dr. Henry Cloud — bestselling author, psychologist, and one of the most trusted voices in Christian leadership today — for a conversation that is equal parts personal, practical, and deeply grounded in how God designed the human mind.

This is not a surface-level conversation about self-help or positive thinking — but about how the brain actually works, what Scripture says about the future, and why most people never become who they were made to be. Dr. Cloud shares his own story of depression, surrender, and the unlikely path that led him to become one of the most influential psychologists of his generation. And together, he and Lyle unpack the framework behind Henry's brand-new book, Your Desired Future — a roadmap for building the life God has actually designed for you.

Together, they explore questions every leader and believer needs to sit with:
• Why does the brain move toward vision — and what happens when you don't have one?
• What is the difference between escaping your past and designing your future?
• How do identity, character, and calling work together to get you where God wants you?
• What does neuroscience have to say about how God wired us for growth?
• What are the five components every vision needs to actually become reality?

This episode is honest, practical, and full of the kind of wisdom that changes how you think — about yourself, your calling, and the future God has for you. Our hope is that it gives you a framework to stop drifting and start building.
