Hosted by Tony Marr and Robert Kell, we invite you to pull up a chair, grab some sweet tea, and join us on the front porch, where stories are told, wisdom is shared, and no topic is off-limits. Each episode features honest dialogue with guests from all walks of life: entrepreneurs, pastors, artists, coaches, and everyday people making an impact. It’s about purpose. It’s about truth. It’s about learning to lead and live well. Always grounded in the Christian faith. Never stuck in a box.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-14T20:17:26.921656+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-pulpit-and-porch-6393096"},"episode":{"title":"Why Not Start (w/ Dylan Shelton)","slug":"why-not-start-w-dylan-shelton","published_at":"2026-02-03T11:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-pulpit-and-porch-6393096/why-not-start-w-dylan-shelton","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-pulpit-and-porch-6393096","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-pulpit-and-porch/episodes/Why-Not-Start-w-Dylan-Shelton-e3eaoio","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/e036cfb4/podcast/play/114696216/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-0-28%2F417023720-44100-2-0a1583b6c3d09.mp3","summary":"Most people don’t fail because they’re unqualified. They fail because they never start. In this episode of The Pulpit & Porch Podcast , we sit down with Dylan Shelton to talk about the courage it takes to take the first step, especially when you don’t feel ready, equipped, or certain about the outcome. We talk about: Why waiting for “perfect timing” is usually just fear in disguise What actually happens when you take the first step before you feel ready The quiet momentum that comes from obedience over confidence Why starting small can still change everything This is a front-porch conversation for anyone who’s been stuck in the almost, the someday, or the what-if. If you’ve been waiting for permission, clarity, or a sign, this might be it. So… why not start?
