BEST DAYS | Season 10 Episode 1

·44 min·4 clips

A stranger tricked Pastor Russell Johnson into a car ride by pretending to be from Victory Church.

Season 10 opens with jokes. Arvin and the team count episodes, groan through puns, and remind listeners that they are the people behind the scenes in Victory production. The pace is familiar and a little chaotic in the best way. They talk about the break after season nine, the Easter workload, and the odd rhythm of already writing Christmas and Easter 2026. Then the conversation gets heavier. A comment about a public Christian figure turns into a careful discussion of context, conviction, and what happens when someone's words get flattened. The host does not grandstand. He says the figure's heart was for Jesus and the gospel, then names beliefs he sees in Scripture. Pastor Paul's sermon gives the episode its center: his September message, The Turning Point, from the Ephesians series, is where the team sends listeners for Victory's fuller stance. The episode is less debate than gut check. It talks about standing on the Word of God when beliefs are misunderstood or pushed back on. College campuses come up because public conviction has a cost, and the host admits that kind of setting would scare him. That honesty helps. By the end, the room turns toward encouragement. Growth sounds awkward here, because it is. Questions, discomfort, feeling dumb sometimes, all of it can be part of walking into a new season of life. The close is warm without getting shiny: one day, the confusing stretch may look like the start of your own season ten, episode one.

A milestone check-in that ends as a steady call to keep growing.

Season 10 opens with a behind-the-scenes check-in that feels loose, self-aware, and more interested in the ministry's recent stretch than in polished presentation.
