Mature Me w/ Rich Wilkerson Jr.

Peace is YOURS. Jesus left it for YOU.

On this episode of Mature Me, I sit down with my dear friend @upsetthegram . Husband, father, pastor, communicator, podcaster — someone who has spent years helping people find language for faith, healing, and freedom.

This conversation goes a lot of places, but at the center of it is a deep invitation into peace. We talk about change, calling, controversy, therapy, trauma, rest, lust, and the kind of peace Jesus actually left us.

Not a temporary peace. Not a peace that depends on everything being easy. A peace that guards your heart, settles your mind, and reminds your body that God is still in control.

Tim said something so powerful: peace comes before power.
Because power without peace can destroy. But when you have Shalom first, you can lead, love, respond, and heal from a different place.

This episode is a reminder that you just do not have to trade your peace for panic.

Imagine a bunch of Pastor’s Kids in a room recording a podcast… that’s exactly what we did for the Mature Me 100th episode

I sat down with @grahamfurtick @charliehughez @dakotaduron on a special episode diving into all things being a pastor’s kid, Gen Z, and ministry. We talk about the story behind @thelivingroom.clt - a young adult Bible that became a movement

We get into next gen leadership, growing up in the spotlight, the pressure of influence, surrendering dreams, preaching with purpose, and why maturity is not about being impressive. It is about becoming impactful.
This episode is honest, funny, and full of wisdom for anyone learning how to serve faithfully, lead authentically, and keep becoming who God has called them to be.

What would change if we recognized that the Holy Spirit isn't optional... he’s essential!  

On this episode of Mature Me, I sit down with a dear friend @alexseeley. She shares the journey from a young woman praying for purpose to helping build The Belonging Co, while unpacking the message behind her new book, The Divine Counselor.

We dive into the topics like why prayer language is an evidence, not the evidence,  trusting God's timing when your calling feels delayed, and the difference between spiritual gifts and spiritual maturity

Whether you're curious about the Holy Spirit or longing to grow deeper in your walk with God, this episode will challenge, encourage, and expand your perspective.

Did you wake up sober this morning? How about zealous for good works?

This week I get to share a conversation that I’m still thinking about. I got to sit down with my friend @triplee a rapper, teacher, worshipper, song writer, husband and father.

From being in the christian hip-hop scene for nearly two decades to recently launching his new collection Brag Worship — Trip has a heart to bring theology to melody. We dived into the heart of worship and what that looks like as a Pastor, rapper, church goer, and believer.

In this podcast we talk bringing up the next generation, loosing loved ones, being diagnosed with a chronic illness, the christian hip-hop scene, starting new projects, and scripture.

This conversation is powerful. I pray it meets you right where you are. Tune into the premiere on the Rich Wilkerson Jr. YouTube Channel at 7:30pm 🔗

We don’t talk about the God of suffering enough…

On this episode of Mature Me, I sit down with my friend @samueljames.kelly, a husband and father of three, and the youth pastor of @fellowshipchurch. His life has been shaped by a deep conviction and valleys with God on top of a calling to lead the next generation.

We talk about the spiritual openness we’re seeing right now. A generation reaching the end of itself earlier than most, realizing what the world offers isn’t enough and looking for something real. This is where revival begins. Not in hype, but in truth. In repentance. In understanding both the weight of sin and the depth of God’s grace.

We also talk about the harder parts of following Jesus. The silence. The grief. The prayers that don’t get answered the way you hoped. And learning not to confuse God’s silence with His absence.

Some of the most important growth happens in the seasons we wish you could skip.
