The Turning Point | When Tragedy Changes Everything | #LFLSEP17
What happens when tragedy shakes your faith and forces you to lead through pain? In this episode of the Like Father, Like Son Podcast, Pastors Deryck Frye and Mike Tirpak open up about the moment everything changed — personally, spiritually, and as leaders.
From lighthearted stories about family life to raw conversations about cultural tension, cancel culture, and forgiveness, this episode reveals the turning points that test our conviction and deepen our faith. Together, PD and Mike explore what it means to pastor people (not culture), stay grounded in truth, and find revival when everything around you feels broken.
Join us as we unpack:
How to apply a biblical perspective to political and cultural events
Why silence can be as dangerous as violence
The rise of cancel culture and how the church should respond
What it means to pastor people, not platforms
Humanizing pastors and understanding leadership pressure
Freedom, faith, and revival in today’s world
The power of forgiveness and confrontation in the Gospel
How to “re-up your commitment” to Christ when life turns upside down
If you’ve ever faced a season where your calling collided with crisis, this conversation will remind you that every turning point is an invitation from God to rise, heal, and lead with renewed fire.
