A proposito di questo titolo

Pursuing Faith Network helps young men follow Jesus with clarity and conviction in today’s culture.


Hosted by Pastor Mike Pileggi and former professional rugby player Ignacio “Iggy” Saenz-Lancuba, each episode brings honest conversations about faith, culture, relationships, masculinity, theology, and the challenges Christians face in the public square.


Expect thoughtful discussions, challenging questions, practical application, and biblical truth grounded in sound doctrine. Our goal is to help you understand what Scripture teaches, recognize where your life may need to change, and pursue holiness wherever God has placed you.

Pursue faith. Live with conviction.

  • Why Some People Bring Out the Worst in You

    Why Some People Bring Out the Worst in You
    Aug 27 2026

    There’s probably someone in your life who just gets under your skin.

    Maybe you expect the worst from them. Maybe you feel like you always have to be on guard. Maybe you have legitimate reasons for being frustrated with them. But what if the way you respond to that person is also revealing something about your own heart?

    In this episode, Iggy gets vulnerable about difficult family relationships and the tension between wanting to protect his family and wanting to represent Christ well.

    That opens up a conversation about control, unforgiveness, broken trust, boundaries, unrealistic expectations, and what it actually means to see another person as someone made in the image of God.

    We also wrestle with questions like:

    • Can you forgive someone without trusting them again?
    • Does forgiveness mean pretending nothing happened?
    • When does a good desire become a ruling desire?
    • How should Christians respond when someone repeatedly disappoints them?
    • What do you do when the hurt comes back after you thought you had forgiven?
    • Why does the gospel change the way we look at people who have hurt us?

    Ultimately, forgiveness begins with perspective. Christians forgive because we have first been forgiven by Christ.

    As Iggy puts it near the end of the conversation, we never graduate from the gospel.

    Pursuing Faith Network exists to help people pursue holiness in today’s culture with clarity and conviction without compromising sound doctrine.

  • What the Headlines Aren’t Telling You About Christians in Iran

    What the Headlines Aren’t Telling You About Christians in Iran
    Jul 30 2026
    Send us Fan MailWhen most of us hear the word Iran, we think about war, missiles, political conflict, and the Strait of Hormuz.But there is another story unfolding inside Iran.There are men and women trying to follow Jesus, sometimes without a church they can safely attend, Christian friends they can trust, or open access to biblical teaching. For some, becoming a Christian can cost them their family, their employment, their freedom, or even their life.In this episode, Mike Pileggi and Iggy sit down with John Cerniglia, President of SAT-7 USA, to discuss what Christians inside Iran are actually experiencing.John explains how Christian programming reaches Iran through satellite television, how viewers safely contact SAT-7 with questions about Jesus, and what happens when someone says, “I believe.”We also discuss:• Why John describes life for Iranian Christians as “a little bit of heaven and a little bit of hell”• What following Jesus can cost someone from a Muslim background• How isolated Christians receive biblical teaching and discipleship• How SAT-7 protects viewers and believers inside restricted countries• Why some Iranian Christians gather secretly in homes• What comfortable Western Christians can learn from believers under pressure• How Christians can pray for Iran, Lebanon, and the wider Middle EastThis is not primarily a conversation about geopolitics. This is a conversation about ordinary people, the cost of discipleship, and the work of Christ in places many of us only encounter through the news.GUESTJohn CernigliaPresident, SAT-7 USALEARN MORE AND PRAY WITH SAT-7 USAhttps://sat7usa.orgJohn encourages viewers to begin with SAT-7’s prayer resources and learn how to pray specifically for believers and civilians throughout the Middle East and North Africa.FOLLOW PURSUING FAITH NETWORKYouTube: @pursuingfaithPFN Clips: @PFNClipsInstagram: @pursuingfaith__TikTok: @pursuingfaith__CHAPTERS00:00 What the Headlines Miss About Iran03:28 “A Little Bit of Heaven and Hell”07:58 How SAT-7 Reaches Christians Inside Iran10:38 Stories From Inside Iran17:11 How Iranian Christians Gather and Worship20:28 What Happens After Someone Says, “I Believe”?25:59 Why Converts Face the Greatest Danger32:27 How Discipleship Works Without a Church Building37:56 Why Iranians Teach Iranians41:51 The Chosen, Christian Media, and Finding Jesus46:01 Dreams of Jesus in the Middle East51:06 Why Petty Church Fights Disappear54:17 The Ministry Ethos That Guides SAT-757:54 Reaching Young People Through Creative Programming1:01:45 What Western Christians Must Learn1:03:24 How to Pray and Support SAT-71:08:59 Final Challenge to the Western ChurchSubscribe to Pursuing Faith Network for conversations about Scripture, faith, culture, sound doctrine, and following Jesus in the public square.What part of this conversation challenged you most?

  • When Church Becomes Therapy: Baptisms, Megachurches, and Real Healing

    When Church Becomes Therapy: Baptisms, Megachurches, and Real Healing
    May 28 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode, we sit down with Heather to have one of the most honest conversations we’ve had on the podcast about grief, trauma, therapy, suffering, and mental health through a Christian lens.
    Heather shares her story of losing her husband suddenly, wrestling with God through pain, and learning how lament, community, and biblical truth helped her navigate devastating loss. We also dive deep into the differences between secular therapy, Christian therapy, and biblical counseling — including the dangers of over-diagnosis, trauma culture, emotional repression, and why many Christians avoid getting help.
    Whether you’re walking through grief, struggling mentally, supporting someone in pain, or simply trying to think biblically about mental health, we pray this episode encourages you.

    New conversations every Thursday at 12:00 PM EST.
