When the Math Doesn’t Add Up: Darren Tyler on Radical Belief and Generosity

Описание: In this episode of Project Red, we sit with Darren Tyler—pastor, founder, and former music-industry executive—whose journey has traced a remarkable arc from green rooms and tour buses to the frontlines of global mission work.

For two decades, Darren managed artists like Jars of Clay, Third Day, and Kutless. But when the applause faded, a deeper call emerged—to build something that could not be charted or sold. Out of that conviction came Conduit Mission and Conduit Church in Franklin, Tennessee: a community defined not by its seating capacity but by its sending capacity. Today, more than half of the church’s resources flow outward into global missions across Haiti, Africa, Asia, and beyond.

In this conversation, Darren shares what it really means to believe—not in outcomes, but in obedience. He unpacks the quiet, costly trust it takes to keep giving when the numbers don’t add up, to keep sowing when the harvest feels far away, and to lead a church culture that believes generosity is not a sermon point but a spiritual posture.

Here’s what we explore together:
🔥 The spark that ignited Conduit Mission and the faith that kept it burning
🔥 What happens when a church decides to believe God enough to give radically
🔥 How belief reshapes the metrics of success—from budgets and attendance to transformation and trust
🔥 In the Kingdom, you either go or send—doing nothing isn’t an option.

If you’ve ever stood in a season where vision felt fragile, where the climb grew steep, and belief was the only thing between you and surrender—this conversation will remind you what it means to believe anyway.

Lean in. Take a breath. And believe again.
