    Guest's bio:

    Sean Tritt grew up as one of Jehovah's Witnesses starting at the age of eight. However, he was disfellowshipped at 21 and then embarked on a prodigal journey lasting over 15 years. During this period, Sean experienced the emptiness of living without God. This journey ultimately led him to develop deep compassion for those still trying to navigate life without faith.

    Proverbs 3:5-6 has been a cornerstone scripture in Sean's life, teaching him to truly trust in the Lord. Today, Sean is grateful to be a blessed father of two and is engaged to Nikka. She is wonderful, adorable, and also his best friend.

  • In this episode, we dive deep into the world of humble bragging. You know what I'm talking about, right? It's that sneaky way people have of tooting their own horn while pretending to be all modest about it. And let's be real, we see it all the time on social media and even in our day-to-day chats.

    We're getting real here, sharing some of our own stories, and, trust me, we've got some pretty funny ones that'll have you chuckling. But it's not all laughs; we're also getting serious about the need to be mindful of why we say what we say. It's amazing how the Holy Spirit can nudge us towards the right intentions if we just pay attention.

    We're inviting you to join us on this journey of self-discovery. Let's take a hard look at our conversations. Are we seeking likes and validation, or are we striving for authenticity? We're all about ditching the humble brags and embracing genuine connections. you won't want to miss this episode.

    Guest's bio and social handles:

    Preston Todd and Holly Scurry Todd are the VP of Global Missions & Discipleship and Church Planting at Matthew 10 International. They bring the gospel into difficult-to-access nations and they help to set captives free, literally, spiritually, and physically. They're on a mission to lead the lost to Jesus and rescue multi-generational families out of decades of slavery in the Middle East.

    In addition to serving at Matthew Ten International, it's their joy to lead ascent mentors and they have a huge desire to see young men and women connect to the heart of God and experience the relational nature of Jesus Christ through the power of one on one mentorship. When Holly and Preston were both in high school, they came to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior because their young life leaders intentionally spent time with them and taught them how to know Jesus instead of just knowing about him. And since then, they've had a passion to meet kids right where they are and help them truly know him as the best gift this side of heaven.

    Preston and Holly Todd Holly are newlyweds and they would both say that they have married their dream spouse. Holly is a bonus mom to Preston's eleven-year-old twins, Ruth and Liam. The word of God is their source of strength and their life verse is Acts 20:24.

    Pastor Mark Sowersby accepted the position of Lead Pastor at Calvary Community Church in the summer of 2021.

    He grew up in North Attleboro, MA, and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Theology from Zion Bible College/Northpoint Bible College. He has been an ordained minister with the Assembly of God for 25 years.

    Pastor Mark also leads a ministry called Forgiving the Nightmare. In 2019 he went through a time of great healing and began speaking about the experiences of his past, God’s grace, and the transformational work of forgiveness in his life. He now speaks about his story through his ministry and book Forgiving The Nightmare.

    When he isn’t serving his congregation and his community through ministry, teaching, and support, you can find him on all the trails and lakes of New England, spending time with his family. He and his wife Jennifer are blessed with four healthy children.
