Church Planting, Pastoral Insecurities & Reaching Your City | Lyle Phillips & Noah Herrin

In this season finale episode, Pastor Lyle sits down with his friend and Nashville neighbor Pastor Noah Herrin — lead pastor of Way Church, one of the most exciting young churches in Nashville, Tennessee — for a conversation that is equal parts personal, pastoral, and deeply practical. This is not just a conversation about church planting — but about identity, unity, and what it looks like to build something for the Kingdom when everything is working against you. Noah shares the origin story of Way Church, the moment Legacy Church stepped in when their venue fell through, and what it has meant to build in a city where pastors actually root for each other. And together, Lyle and Noah get into the things most church planters don't talk about — scrappiness, setup and tear down, knowing who you are and who you're called to reach, and what it means to steal people from hell instead of from other churches. Together, they explore questions every pastor, planter, and leader needs to sit with: • What does it actually mean to know who God has called you to reach — and say no to everyone else? • How do you handle people leaving your church without losing your peace? • What is the hidden gift inside the setup and tear down season? • What does genuine pastoral unity in a city actually look like — and why does it matter? • How do you build a church culture that people want to give their lives to? This episode is warm, honest, and full of the kind of wisdom that only comes from two pastors who've been in the trenches together. It's the perfect close to Season One — and a reminder that the best thing the Church can do is lock arms and reach its city together. 🎟️ Legacy Conference 2026 is coming to Nashville, TN — October 8–10! 🚀 We're celebrating 10 years with special guests Jackie Hill Perry, Robert Madu, Abbie Gamboa, John Wilds, Brian & Jenn Johnson, and more.
