What’s for Lunch and Other Spiritual Questions is a funny, honest, and slightly chaotic conversation about faith, food, and figuring life out—hosted by Faith Metzger and Gary Ricci, a father-daughter duo in full-time ministry together. Each week, they tackle big spiritual questions—like “Can I lose my salvation?”, “Will I be bored in heaven?”, and “Why do I always want to be right?”—alongside bagels, PB&Js, and the occasional conspiracy theory. Whether you’re a long-time believer, spiritual skeptic, or just here for the snacks, you’re welcome at the table.
In this episode, Gary, Faith, and returning guest Steve Neilson dive deep into calling, character, and what it really takes to step into ministry—whether you’re behind a pulpit or behind a camera.
We talk about:
- What it really takes to be an associate pastor
- Why your character matters more than your gifting
- Steve’s journey from the gutter to mentoring teens
We Mentioned:
Ephesians 2:10
