In this episode Pastor Clay is joined by special guest Dr. Dan Langston for a warm, story-filled conversation about faith, teaching, and the next generation. Together they look back on their shared history in Arlington, their time at Bethel Assembly, and the people who helped shape their ministries. Dr. Dan recalls the early days, funny staff memories, and the lessons that have stayed with him through decades of ministry and teaching. He also shares about his lifelong love for Arlington’s Fourth of July parade, his journey from youth pastor to professor at Nelson University, and why he believes teaching remains one of the most powerful ways to shape lives for eternity.

They talk about his book, Future Without Fear: Celebrating Victory in Revelation, and the surprising way it came together—with encouragement from fellow pastors and support from churches that believed in making Scripture accessible and hopeful. Dr. Dan describes the deep joy of seeing students grasp grace for the first time, including the story of a Navy veteran who came to Christ in his class and now pastors a church in Oregon.

In this episode Pastor Clay is joined by special guest Alexis, a joyful worshipper, devoted mom to Joshua Elijah, and manager of three Matt Burke Music Studio locations in North Texas. She shares about her journey from a casual churchgoer to encountering Christ at 15 when a friend invited her to youth group. That moment sparked a passion for worship, a heart for mentoring teens, and a deep commitment to serving with Dallas Metro Kids.

The conversation explores how worship became Alexis’s most authentic connection with God when prayer felt difficult and why guarding joy is so vital. Pastor Clay and Alexis discuss how the enemy tries to discourage believers, particularly worship leaders, by stealing joy and shifting focus from God to self. They emphasize the difference between talent and anointing, the dangers of pride on stage, and the importance of mentorship, accountability, and humility in order to keep worship pure and Spirit-led. Together they highlight biblical reminders from Psalm 42 and Proverbs 4:23 about guarding the heart and staying focused on the true purpose of worship.

Alexis also shares her experience working with Dallas Metro Kids and the long-term impact of reaching children and teens through mentorship and consistent presence in their communities. She recalls stories of lives transformed and explains how a permanent facility would relieve weekly setup burdens and create new opportunities for midweek gatherings, outreach, and discipleship. Pastor Clay closes by inviting listeners to join the All In vision for a debt-free building that will expand the mission to raise faith in the next generation.
