Keeping the Faith

Pastor Brian takes a thoughtful and passionate look at the state of Trek today—where the franchise has come, where it seems to be heading, and what he hopes the future holds for the stories and characters we love.

And, of course, Pastor Brian talks about his all-time favorite Star Trek film! He might even offer his best Worf and Picard impersonations!

But this conversation goes deeper than phasers, starships, and favorite episodes. With plenty of heart, passion, and faith, Pastor Brian brings the discussion back to something bigger: the importance of believing that good things—and even better things—are still ahead.

Sometimes the future can feel uncertain. Sometimes the journey doesn't go the way we expected. But just like the best Trek stories remind us, we keep moving forward.

Have faith. Keep hope alive. Believe that the best is yet to come.
