Honza Interviews

In this interview, I had the awesome opportunity to interview Savanna Grube. She's a former Praise Youth intern, a student at Liberty University seeking a degree in Psychology with a minor in Christian Counseling. We talked about her interests in Star Wars, Twilight, and Adventure Time as well as her experiences in Activism, Christianity, and the Working World. She continues to prove that all of my friends are way more interesting than me. Hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did. During your time with the Praise Youth internship and other background parts of ministry, is there anything you learned from specifically the behind-the-scenes part of church leadership? Yeah, wow, that's a good question. I think the main thing I learned is that it isn't all sunshine and rainbows. I think any work environment will have its conflicts and disturbances. I think I learned that it's part work environment and part ministry. I sort of idealized the church as some sort of perfec...

In this interview, I had the great opportunity to talk to Jake Moore. He's the Live Visuals Director at Praise Church, and you may also know him from his wedding photography and videography work through his website  https://www.jakemoorefilms.com/ . In our talk, Jake and I discussed the world of Church Production, how it's moved forward, the importance of grounded faith in church leadership, and his development as a follower of Christ. Jake and I have been working together for a number of years now, so asking him for an interview was absolutely a must. Enjoy. There is a lot of discourse between worship leaders about the purpose of high production value versus just 1 person with an acoustic guitar and every variation between, do you see an inherent value in the environment you lead in?  Whenever you have just one or the other, it can get stagnant. I think people have very “consumer” mindset, that’s just how we are as human beings. So, I think there are benefits to both, but the...

In this interview, I got to sit down with Pastor Darrian Graves. He's a Liberty University alumni, and former reporter with Channel 6 in Beaumont, Texas. He has recently taken up the mantle of young adult pastor at Praise Church. We only had a short time to talk, but we still managed to cover a plethora of topics. We covered his experience as a Christian, critiques of the modern church, where they can improve and how each aspect of his life has brought him to where he is. Hope you enjoy this interview.  I hear a lot of Christians talking about ‘life verses’ what do you think your life verse is?   I probably have 2. One is Romans 5:8. It’s basically saying that even though we’re all sinners. Christ died for us. I think when I realized I was a sinner, I also realized I needed Christ. I actually have it as a tattoo. Having it as a tattoo serves as a constant reminder that I am a sinner in need of a savior. While I live on this earth I will always need a savior. Another would be L...
