Pastor Justin Adams joins Trey Bailey and Gabriel Stovall for Episode 99 and the Faith & Community Series. He shares the story behind NEW LIFE Praise Center’s growth, including a new 3,200-square-foot gathering space, and explains how his nearly 20-year journey from addiction to sobriety continues to shape his preaching and the church’s culture.

The conversation explores NEW LIFE’s non-denominational identity, its “Everyone’s welcome—and we mean it” philosophy, verse-by-verse Bible teaching, discipleship pathways and service in local schools, recovery ministries, food pantries and Honduras. Adams also explains why healthy growth—not growth for its own sake—is the goal.

Pastor Chris Haymore joins The Town Square Podcast for a Faith and Community conversation about his Newton County roots, his career in local public education, and the new calling that led him to help plant Wesley Methodist Church of Covington. He also looks back on walking on to the University of Georgia football team under Vince Dooley and the lessons in preparation and leadership that followed him from the practice field to the principal’s office and the pulpit.

Haymore explains the Global Methodist Church’s traditional approach to Scripture, the Wesleyan understanding of grace and holiness, and the role of baptism, Communion, small groups, and accountability in Methodist life. He also walks listeners through a typical Sunday at Wesley Methodist, introduces its growing ministries, and shares the vision for a new 300-seat sanctuary whose beams have been covered with Scripture and prayer.

Fr. Justin Clemente joins Episode 94 of The Town Square Podcast to explain Anglican Christianity—from liturgy, incense, and the sacraments to the Book of Common Prayer and the Daily Office. Fr. Clemente describes how ancient patterns of worship engage the whole person, train Christians to pray, and connect modern believers with centuries of Christian faith and practice.

The conversation also introduces Lamb of God Anglican Church, a new congregation taking root in Covington. Fr. Clemente discusses what he calls a “quiet revival” among young men seeking traditional Christianity, why those men need pastoral care and community, and how Lamb of God hopes to combine historic conviction with genuine hospitality: “Come and see.”

With emotional transparency, the hosts share how their backgrounds shaped their worldviews, how misinformation harms communities, and why long-form conversations remain vital. They also reflect on family, faith, survival, brotherhood, and the future of Newton County.
