Episode 59: Chris Maxwell on Merging the Ancient and the Modern, Finish Lines That Keep Moving, and Finding True Contentment

March 31, 2026 • Jonathan Bryan

0:00 | 40:43

In this episode, Chris and I explore multi-generational worship, what contentment truly is (and isn’t), why we often resist healthy margin, and how to tell the difference between healthy ambition and unhealthy striving—plus much more.

Quotes for Notes:

“We assume peace is a prize waiting at a finish line that keeps moving.”

“If we did not preach okay, can we be okay with that? Knowing that God is with us, He loves us anyway, and He might not be grading and ranking us like we are.”

“God calls us to do those things that will only be accomplished by His power and His Presence.”
