When Your Career Changes but Your Calling Doesn’t and the Future of Church Media with Luke Miller

What happens when your career changes but your calling doesn’t?

In this episode, we sit down with Luke Miller to explore his unique journey from pastoral ministry to the marketplace—and how his calling never changed, even when his job title did. From church planting in Dallas to spending over 15 years in church media, Luke shares honest insights on bi-vocational ministry, identity, and the tension between calling and compensation that many leaders quietly carry.

We also dive deep into the evolving role of media in the Church—how storytelling shapes spiritual formation, why authenticity is winning over production, and what churches often get wrong when trying to stay “relevant.”

And of course, we tackle the big question everyone’s asking: What does AI mean for ministry? Luke offers a grounded, thoughtful perspective on where AI helps, where it falls short, and why human connection will always be at the center of gospel work.

This conversation is honest, practical, and deeply encouraging for pastors, creatives, and anyone trying to faithfully live out their calling in a rapidly changing world. Grab a friend to share this one with, you’re going to want to discuss it with someone.
