    Will Anderson is a senior editor at Waterbrook Multnomah. He’s also a pastor who currently serves at Southlands Church Santa Ana.

    He grew up in Phoenix, AZ, where he cultivated a love for writing—thanks to the sweltering summers which kept him inside, as well as his parents’ refusal to buy him a video game console for the duration of his adolescence.

    He earned his B.A. in journalism at Biola University, and his M.A. in New Testament from Talbot School of Theology. Will has also taught theology and Bible classes at Woodcrest Christian High School and Cottonwood College.

    Will writes regularly for The Gospel Coalition, Dwell Bible App, and Preaching Today’s Craft and Character podcast. He’s done freelance work for many churches and organizations, including The Chosen TV series. As an editor, he loves helping pastors write books that edify the church.

  • #199:Andrew Farley & John Lynch: Gospel Zero
    Apr 1 2025
    What if the apostles were alive today? What if they had social media, podcasts, and a front-row seat to the chaos of modern Christianity? What would they say?

    Buckle up. Gospel Zero: Reclaiming the Radical Message of Grace is here to shake the religious world like an over-caffeinated prophet. Bestselling author Andrew Farley and renowned storyteller John Lynch echo the voices of God’s messengers in the twenty-first century—delivering fiery, blistering, and hilarious letters to the modern church.

    Think The Screwtape Letters meets The Shack—but bolder, sharper, and completely unfiltered. With wit that bites and grace that heals, Farley and Lynch bulldoze legalism, torch religious guilt, and unleash the shocking, scandalous, untamed gospel of Jesus.

    This book will infuriate and inspire. It will shatter sacred cows and spark righteous laughter. It will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about faith, forgiveness, and freedom.

    If you’ve ever felt like Christianity has lost its way—buried under a mountain of rules, rituals, and recycled sermons—this is your wake-up call. The apostles have something to say, and they aren’t pulling punches.

    This isn’t just a book. It’s a breakthrough. A seismic shift in what Christianity was meant to be.

    Are you ready? ANDREW FARLEY is quietly helping millions of people discover the freedom and transforming power of God’s grace. He serves as lead pastor of The Grace Church, a nondenominational church in Dallas, Texas, and is the creator of BibleQuestions.com. Andrew has written several books, including The Naked Gospel, Twisted Scripture, and 101 Bible Questions.

  • #198 Justin & Trisha Davis:One Choice Away from Change
    Mar 26 2025

    Relationships can feel like a constant struggle. How can we recognize and overcome behaviors that leave us wounded, broken, and exhausted? One Choice Away from Change helps us identify dysfunctional life patterns that cause us to repeat the same mistakes in relationships, fall into the same bad habits at work, or argue about the same things with those we love. Drawing on their own story of healing, Justin and Trisha Davis offer practical encouragement for:

    • Understanding the choices we make that can sabotage us
    • Not letting the past dictate the present
    • Leaving behind our go-to sins and dysfunctions
    • Moving forward in the hope of who God calls us to be

    You aren’t as stuck as you think you are. In fact, you are just one decision away from breaking the cycles that keep you living in fear and shame. Experience the power of God’s grace … one choice at a time.
