Faith, Failure, and a Hungry Generation: Reflections on Philip Yancey and the Passion Conference - January 7 , 2026
Podcasts > The Steve Marston Show
He’s a regular guy with a cool job—and a deep love for Jesus. The Steve Marston Show is a daily, faith-and-fun conversation designed to help you take the next step in your walk with Christ. Think of it as a “200-level” discipleship course: deeper than the basics, but still practical, relatable, and real.
Each episode blends biblical truth, cultural commentary, and honest talk about marriage, parenting, identity, and what it looks like to put God first in a busy, distracted world. Along the way, Steve sits down with guests God is working through, highlights stories of transformation, explores what’s happening in the news through a Christian lens, and—yes—delivers a steady dose of dad jokes.
Serious about faith. Serious about fun. And serious about helping you live like Jesus where it matters most.

On this episode of The Steve Marston Show, Steve tackles a wide-ranging and heartfelt conversation at the intersection of faith, leadership, and the next generation. The program opens with sobering news surrounding the public confession and retirement of longtime Christian author Philip Yancey, prompting an honest discussion about moral failure, repentance, accountability, and the cost of sin within Christian leadership.
Later, Steve is joined by pastor Mitch Granger to talk about the Passion Conference and the spiritual hunger he sees among college-aged believers today. Together they explore why younger Christians are asking hard questions, why questioning faith is not rebellion, and how the church can better engage and disciple the next generation. The episode closes with Scripture, encouragement, and a reminder that God often works powerfully through ordinary people willing to answer His call.
