Reaching For Real Life

Sean shares some leadership lessons from his professional polo playing days that's helped him "reign" people in or "let them run". Also be inspired with a special ministry opportunity as it's Compassion Month!

Probably the funniest and most woke podcast in the history of podcasts as Pastor Sean chats with Joel Berry, Managing Editor of The Babylon Bee and their book - The Babylon Bee Guide To Being Woke.

As Veterans Day nears, Sean shares what he's learned about leadership, how to foster it, and how to find it in others. (after a cool conversation about Willie Nelson of course.)

Sean starts off with his perspective on the opportunity that Halloween is - and that Satan "doesn't get a day"...ever. And then meet Pastor Aaron Powers who was one of the early church plants of River City Community Church, and hear the lessons learned, and the faithfulness of God.

Pastor Sean welcomes to the show the man known as America's Fire Chief (appointed by President Obama), Chief Kelvin J. Cochran who went through his own fiery furnace when he was fired for his Christian beliefs on a very public stage. But just like the 3 Hebrews in Nebuchadnezzar's day, somebody else was with him. His new book "Facing the Fire: The Faith That Brought America's Fire Chief Through The Flames of Persecution" tells the full story of his persecution, and how to take the heat...and the lessons learned from it. Stand for the truth and watch what God does.

With whole industries shook with layoffs and closures because of vaccine mandates, some are standing up saying I will risk losing my job as I will not be forced to get jabbed. Sean makes the case for Vaccine Hesitancy with the bottom line always being to PRAY.

Dr. Bruce Gilley is the author of The Last Imperialist - Sir Alan Burns' Epic Defense of the British Empire and is Sean's special guest on the day of its release with Regnery.com. While it's a biography of Dr. Burns, this book was banned and personal attacks came to Dr. Gilley...since British Imperialism was "evil and racist" even tho' the countries under their umbrella thrived.

Huge Week at River City with Sean teaching Ephesians, Zach Williams playing live at the Real Life Amp on Sunday, we have sports smack on the Bears and Spurs, and the connection between Bob Dylan and Sean's Father. Oh yeah, and Sean addresses the topic of grace when we do or say something dumb. #Forgive #moveon

The conversation started with a misquoted scripture where people say "Money is the root of all evil" - and then Sean went off! Are Christians supposed to be poor? Are Christians supposed to be rich? Money and Marriage - how should that work? #contentment

This is Part 2 of a fun and practical message on Family and Discipleship featuring a panel of experts - Lauri Azzaro, Mark McLemore, Jaime McGuire, and Montie Mansur - led by Pastor Sean Azzaro. But before that Texas has made national news including some corners of the country to call for a boycott of Texas for laws past in the last Legislature. Sean will talk about the good and bad of these new laws including Open Carry, The Heartbeat Bill, and The (Voting) Integrity Bill.

"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." - Parents, Biblically we have a job to do. And its the same job Abraham had with his "many sons". Enjoy the conversation first with Sean and Baron as they talk music and some vision with the Real Life Amphitheatre, but Sean has a message that will encourage you and your family.

Jamie McGuire is a secret weapon for the Kingdom. She serves on staff at River City Community Church as the Next Gen Pastor, but she also serves as a Lt. Col. in the United States Reserves. Pastor Sean says give me some one from the military and loves Jesus ready to serve and watch out! Life lessons inside this conversation in leadership, including raising your kids.

Sean comments on the headlines of the week - Afghanistan, Haiti, Immigration in Texas, and new Mask Mandates - and if you only read the headlines then you need to stop...and "Listen" / "Be still and know that I am God".

Dr. Voddie Baucham joins Pastor Sean Azzaro on a Zoom Call from Zambia in Africa to talk about his national best seller Fault Lines: The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism's Looming Catastrophe. it's a powerful conversation on the worldview behind the social justice movement and Critical Race Theory. There's spiritual language used like righteous and justice in the movement that sounds truthful, but under the skin are the lies. Hear this huge topic taken on from a Biblical perspective.

Sean had the honor of traveling to Indiana to speak at a family camp, and took advantage of sitting with Dr. Dennis Engbrecht of Bethel University.

It's the Real Life Version of Independence Day - where we celebrate our freedoms in America... and on the heels of The Olympics the flag is being protested by more Americans since the Vietnam War. Do the protesters have a point and when did patriotism become so controversial. Pastor Sean puts everything on the table including when patriotism can become an idol. It's the good, the bad, and the ugly of patriotism.

After celebrating Father's Day, Sean shares important life lessons on teaching leadership skills to your kids which are spoken opportunities, and also by leading by example, reflecting integrity, and leading in your home where it carries over into your workplace.
