We made it to Episode 100 — and this one is truly special.

This episode isn’t just a recap… it’s a celebration, a thank you, and a handing-off of the journey.

In this final episode of the Going Somewhere Podcast, Stephen and Megan look back on 100 episodes of conversations, stories, laughter, hard moments, and faithful steps. Together, they reflect on the moments that shaped the show, the people who made it meaningful, and the lessons learned along the way.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• A look back at the Top 10 most-listened episodes

• Personal favorite moments and behind-the-mic stories

• Honest reflections on the lessons this podcast taught us

• A powerful montage of messages from past guests and listeners

• A celebration of the incredible community that formed around this show

• And a hopeful look ahead at what’s next…

Along the way, we pause to celebrate something that still blows us away — this podcast reached listeners in 79 nations around the world. What started as a simple idea turned into a global journey, and we’re incredibly grateful for every single listen.

We also share a preview of what’s coming in the next chapter with the launch of the Everyday Adventure Podcast — a new space focused on finding meaning, faith, and adventure in everyday life.

Most of all, this episode is about gratitude.
Thank you for listening, sharing, encouraging, and walking this road with us. This chapter may be ending, but we truly believe God has good things ahead — for all of us.

We’re all going somewhere… and we can’t wait to see where God leads you next.

In this episode, Stephen and Megan sit down with Dave Leedahl, Lead Pastor at Northview Church — and someone who has been part of the Going Somewhere story from the very beginning. Together, they revisit the early conversations that sparked the birth of this podcast years ago, emerging from a shared desire to meet a need and invest deeply in the young adults of our community.

The three of them talk about what God has been doing in young adults, the hunger and ownership they’re seeing, the leadership and maturity emerging, and the unique obstacles and threats this generation is navigating. Dave also shares his hopes, encouragement, and vision for young adults stepping boldly into their callings today.

If you’re a young adult — or someone who cares about them — this conversation will stir your heart.

In today’s episode, Stephen and Megan dive into one of their favorite rhythms of the entire year: creating space for year-end reflection. Stephen shares the story of his very first reflection retreat back in 2016 (complete with the original journal), and Megan opens up about how reflection has shaped her life and spiritual journey.

Together, they offer a flyover of a few core practices—People of the Year, Life Lessons, and Word of the Year—while inviting you to slow down long enough to notice what God has been doing in your own story.

They also talk about the hazards of NOT taking time to reflect, including things like drifting into the new year without clarity, repeating patterns that keep you stuck, carrying unnecessary emotional or spiritual weight, missing signs of God’s presence, or simply rushing through life on autopilot.

Pastor Brad Lewis is back—and if you’ve been around the podcast, you know he’s a fan favorite. Brad has made a huge impact on my life, and this conversation felt like a gift as we near the end of this season.

In this episode, Brad reflects on last year’s celebration event where hundreds of alumni returned to honor 36+ years of campus ministry. He shares what it was like to look out on a room full of people whose lives had been shaped during those decades.

We talk about the transition of a ministry he led for so long into the hands of a young team, what he’s seeing God do in the next generation, his all-time favorite message, and the ministry trends that have shifted—and stayed the same—over the years.

And of course, Brad shares some of his most powerful God stories: moments of prayer, provision, calling, and life-change that remind us God is still moving in unmistakable ways.

If you missed Brad’s first conversation, go back and listen to Ep. 7 — Staying the Course.

As you listen, lean in. Brad’s heart for the next generation is sincere, hopeful, and deeply encouraging—and this conversation will strengthen your faith.

Every good thing must come to an end.

From our favorite TV shows to the seasons of our own lives, endings are a natural part of the journey — but knowing when and how to end well takes wisdom, humility, and faith.

In this episode, Stephen and Megan talk about the importance of recognizing when a season is complete, how to process endings in a healthy way, and what it looks like to move forward with peace and purpose. They share personal stories of transition — from college to career, ministry changes, and learning to say goodbye to good things — and explore how every ending can prepare you for what’s next.

You’ll also hear more about an upcoming ending of our own: The Going Somewhere Podcast is wrapping up with Episode 100! But don’t worry — this isn’t the end of the story. Over the next few weeks, we’ll celebrate what’s been and share more about the future.

📘 Reflection Prompt:
What’s something in your life that might need to end — not because it’s bad, but because it’s complete?

Stephen and Megan dive into the ideas behind Jonathan Haidt’s bestselling book, The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness. Together, they unpack how the rise of smartphones and the decline of play-based childhood have shaped an entire generation.

In this conversation, Stephen explains Haidt’s core argument that childhood was “rewired” around 2012 — trading outdoor play, social learning, and healthy risk for screen-based connection, comparison, and constant distraction. They explore how this great rewiring has uniquely impacted both boys and girls, why young adults today are more anxious and lonely than ever, and how we can begin reclaiming what was lost.

You’ll walk away with practical ways to manage your attention, pursue real-world relationships, and rediscover presence in a digital world that never stops scrolling.

Be sure to subscribe today so you never miss an episode!

4 Key Takeaways:

1. Own Your Attention. Recognize when your phone is managing you instead of the other way around. Create intentional phone-free times each day and reclaim your ability to focus deeply.

2. Crave What’s Real. Invest in embodied, face-to-face community — shared meals, conversations, and experiences that outlast the scroll.

3. Curate Your Digital Life. Audit your apps and notifications. Keep what connects you, remove what consumes you, and let technology serve your goals — not shape them.

4. Relearn Play and Presence. Step outside, try new hobbies, allow boredom, and take healthy risks. These real-world moments build the resilience and creativity we’ve lost in a screen-based world.

Ask Yourself: What’s one simple way you can limit distraction this week — and one real-world connection you can intentionally pursue?

In this episode, Stephen and Taylor pull back the curtain on their marriage and family life for a conversation that’s equal parts laughter, chaos, and real talk. Together with Megan, they revisit their first date, share stories about parenting three very different kids, and reflect on the rhythms that have kept them grounded in a season of change. From marriage meetings to viral videos, it’s an honest look at what it means to dream big while building a healthy family culture in the everyday moments.

You’ll laugh, you’ll relate, and you might even hear a little unplanned ASMR from Taylor toward the end. It’s fun, unfiltered, and full of reminders that adventure often looks like the life you’re already living.
