Mission: ReMission
Life is hard. But you don't have to walk through it alone. If you've ever wondered whether God still has a purpose for your life after failure... if you've wrestled with shame, fear, disappointment, anxiety, or just felt stuck... welcome. You're among friends. I'm David Leister, Executive Director of Missions at Pillar Ministries, and every week we have honest conversations about real life through the timeless truth of God's Word. Mission: ReMission exists to help people uproot the lies that have distorted their identity, plant the truth of God's Word deep in their hearts, recover hope, receive the help of the Holy Spirit, and live courageously on mission again. Life has a way of knocking all of us down. There will be setbacks. There will be losses. There will be questions we can't answer and storms we never saw coming. But that's not the end of the story. Jesus told us that in this world we would have trouble. He never promised a life without storms—but He did promise that we would never face them alone. He has overcome the world, and because of Him, we can face tomorrow with hope. Each episode combines biblical truth, practical encouragement, personal stories, a little well-timed humor, and memorable illustrations from everyday life and popular culture to help you grow in your faith and discover the life God created you to live. Whether you're rebuilding after a painful season, searching for a fresh start, or simply longing to know Christ more deeply, my prayer is that every episode leaves you with greater hope, deeper faith, and the confidence to take your next step with Jesus. Because what happened to you does not have the power to determine what God can do through you. No matter where you've been, what you've done, or what you're facing today, you are not forgotten, you are not disqualified, and your story is far from over. God is still restoring, still redeeming, and still calling you forward. So come just as you are—with your questions, your doubts, your scars, and your hopes—and discover the new life, lasting hope, and unshakable purpose found in Jesus Christ. Let's replace the lies with God's truth, rediscover the hope found in Jesus Christ, and learn what it means to truly live on mission again. Truth in. Lies out.

What does faith look like when the answer doesn’t come quickly—when the door stays closed, the dream takes years to unfold, and you’re left asking, “God, what are You doing?”
In Faith Against Long Odds, David shares the remarkable story of his friend Álvaro Recinos, who grew up in poverty in Guatemala and walked through setbacks, closed doors, financial hardship, uncertainty, and long se...
Why Surrender Makes You Stronger
What if the strongest thing you could do right now is wave the white flag?
We’re taught that surrender means defeat—that strong people push harder, hold tighter, and somehow figure it all out. But Jesus offers us a radically different kind of strength.
He said, “Apart from me you can do nothing.” And yet Scripture also tells us, “I can do all this through h...
Why is God cutting THAT out of your life right now?
If you're walking through change, uncertainty, grief, or a season you didn't choose — you need to hear this.
Here's the truth: the branch only sees what's being cut away. The Vinedresser sees what it's becoming.
Welcome to BeautiFall.
This episode walks through John 15 and asks a question most of us are afraid to ask: what if the pruning isn't punishment — ...
One of Manhattan's most iconic buildings is cracking from the inside.
432 Park Avenue rises nearly 1,400 feet above New York City. Sleek. Strong. Almost impossibly thin. A $100 million penthouse. The whole world admires it.
But look a little closer... and you'll notice something: cracks.
That raises a question bigger than concrete and architecture: what happens when the cracks start showing in us?
In this episode of Mis...
In this episode of Mission: ReMission, David Leister confronts The Approval Trap — the exhausting cycle of people-pleasing, comparison, fear of rejection, and constantly wondering, what are they going to think about me?
There's a better way.
You can listen to wise counsel without being controlled by criticism. You can love people without needing their validation. You can pursue excellence without performing for ...
Ehat if we started tomorrow from that same place — not working for God's love, but living from it?
Pursue excellence. Grow in godliness. Dream big. Work hard. Make an impact. But when you stumble, fail, or simply come up short, your identity doesn't fall with the outcome.
You are already loved. Already accepted. God Almighty is for you.
So pursue excellence — but don't let excellence enslave you. You have n...
What if your greatest legacy isn’t what you leave behind—but what you leave inside someone else?
One seed of encouragement. One opportunity. One act of generosity. One person willing to say, “I believe in you.” What could God do with something that small?
In Episode 7 of Mission: ReMission, David Leister explores the extraordinary power of pouring into another person—and how one faithful ...
What if the reason you haven’t seen the harvest yet isn’t because God isn’t working—but because the seed is still growing beneath the surface?
We live in an impatient world. We want the prayer answered, the breakthrough now, the dream fulfilled, the pain gone. And when nothing seems to be happening, it’s tempting to get anxious, question God, or dig up the very seed He’s asking us ...
What if God actually meant what He said about you?
Not just the comfortable parts. The seemingly impossible promises, too. What if God really is for you? What if nothing you face can separate you from His love? What if the storms, setbacks, failures and disappointments of your life don’t get the final word?
We’re surrounded by voices telling us what to believe about ourselves, our circumstances and our fut...
Episode 4: Speak Truth Over Lies
How many of the thoughts running through your mind today are actually true?
“You’ll never change.”
“You’re not enough.”
“God is disappointed in you.”
“Your past defines your future.”
Lies like these don’t just influence our emotions—they shape our identity, our decisions, our relationships, and our faith.
In...
Who are you becoming?
Whether you realize it or not, every thought you entertain, every voice you believe, every habit you repeat, and every decision you make is shaping the person you are becoming.
In this powerful episode of Mission: ReMission, David Leister explores how our past wounds, failures, fears, and daily choices influence our identity—and how Jesus offers something greater: real transformation.
Throug...
What if your greatest loss isn’t the end of your story—but the place where God begins His greatest work?
Life has a way of leaving us standing in the rubble of broken dreams, shattered relationships, grief, anxiety, disappointment, failure, and unanswered prayers. In those moments, it’s easy to wonder if God has forgotten us—or if hope is gone forever.
But what if the rubble isn’t the end...
Welcome to Mission: ReMission.
Truth In. Lies Out.
What if the greatest obstacle to the life God has called you to live isn’t your past… but the lies you’ve believed about it?
Mission: ReMission is a Christ-centered podcast that helps you replace lies with God’s truth, rediscover your identity in Christ, and live with renewed purpose and confidence.
In this inaugural episode, David Leister share...
