    Pt 1 | What Did Jesus Actually Mean by Blessed? (feat. Andrew Steier)

    What if the Beatitudes aren't just inspirational words on a plaque — but the clearest picture Jesus ever gave us of what it actually looks like to live from overflow? Andrew Steier is back, and this conversation is one we've been looking forward to. Andrew is a pastor, author, and founder of Always Going — a ministry dedicated to helping believers live on mission and share the gospel in everyday life. In part one of our conversation, Andrew brings his signature warmth and depth to a topic that is both deeply familiar and surprisingly unexplored: the Beatitudes.  Andrew makes a case that these kingdom qualities — the ones we've seen on plaques and heard in sermons — are actually God's clearest picture of what His people are meant to look like on earth as it is in heaven. Not a checklist to power through. Not a standard to feel condemned by. But a lifelong progression to be pursued, prayed through, and slowly chiseled into us by a God who is for us.  We talk about what it means to be poor in spirit, why mourning is actually a mark of a heart being formed into the image of Christ, and what meekness looks like in a culture that rewards the loudest voice in the room. Andrew also shares what it's looked like for him personally — as a dad, a husband, and a leader — to chase these qualities in the small, everyday, unheroic moments of life.  Check Out Andrew’s Work! ⤵️  Website - AlwaysGoing.org  Free 5-Day Crash Course - OverflowEvangelism.com Overflow University -  OverflowUniversity.com Sermon on the Mount Messages - AlwaysGoing.org/sermons Join us online! 🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com  💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith  💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaith Wherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

    Pt 2 | What Would Change If You Knew It Was Never Too Late? (feat. Jody Hill)

    It's never too late to start using your words to build the people around you up. Not with your kids. Not with your team. Not with yourself. Jody Hill is back for part two, and this conversation is just as rich as the first. Jody is the author of The Parent's Secret Superpower, and today she brings the science, the scripture, and the stories that make everything she teaches click into place. We open with a water experiment that will genuinely stop you in your tracks — and connect what the Bible has been saying about the power of our words for centuries to what science is only now catching up to. From there, we get into what it looks like to stand against the villainous beliefs we hold about our kids, why Jody doesn't believe in the terrible twos, and how the difference between praising effort and praising results shapes the kind of person your child becomes. We also talk about fear — how to raise kids who can do hard things, why identity is always at the root of courage, and how the small moments of everyday life are actually the most powerful classrooms we have. And Jody closes with something for the parent who feels like they've missed their window. You haven't. It is never too late. And this episode will show you exactly where to start.

    Pt 1 | Could Your Words Be Your Greatest Superpower? (feat. Jody Hill)

    What if the most powerful thing you can do for the people around you is already inside you — and you just don't know how to use it yet?  Jody Hill never set out to write a book. She was a communications major turned photographer turned accidental author — and the message she stumbled into came directly out of one of the hardest seasons of her life. In part one of our conversation, Jody shares how walking through divorce as a mom of four sent her on a mission to discover what was actually in her power to shape her children's confidence, identity, and sense of worth.  The answer was her words. And once she saw it, she couldn't unsee it — which is how The Parent's Secret Superpower was born. We talk about what it looks like to call people up to greatness instead of labeling their behavior, why being a champion is very different from being a savior, and what the science and scripture behind the power of words actually reveal about the influence we carry every single day — often without realizing it. Whether you're a parent, a leader, a spouse, or just someone who interacts with other humans on a daily basis — this one is for you.

    Pt 2 | What Can God Do With Your Wildest Dream? (feat. Scott Ingegneri)

    The dream isn't just the picture you see at the end. The dream is walking out the process that gets you there. That's one of the most honest things Scott Ingegneri says in part two of this conversation — and by the time he says it, you've already heard enough of his story to know he means every word. Scott is a pastor, CEO of ACT International, and a man who has been saying "Good morning, Holy Spirit, take control" every single morning since second grade.  In this episode, Scott shares the stories behind the stories — his son who picked up a passion for lighting design as a little boy and is now a renowned production designer in country music. His wife who felt the Lord prompt her to turn into a property that wasn't even on the market yet. The midnight ceiling-painting sessions. The moment he said yes to leading a 50-year-old missions organization and had to grieve stepping away from the ministry with his wife that had defined everything they'd built together.  We also talk about what it means to encourage the dreamers in your home, what it looks like when your kids actually take you up on it, and what Scott would say to anyone who is in the middle of the hard, slow, unglamorous part of their calling and wondering if it's worth it.  Join us online! 🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com  💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith  💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaith Wherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

    Pt 1 | Could One Question to the Holy Spirit Change Everything? (feat. Scott Ingegneri)

    He's been saying "Good morning, Holy Spirit" every single day since second grade. And the way he sees people because of it will make you want to do the same.  Scott Ingegneri is a pastor, author, songwriter, dad of four, and CEO of ACT International — a missions organization that supports over 500 creative and innovative ministries around the world. But the story that sets the tone for everything he does goes all the way back to a soccer field, a kid named Eddie, and a question his parents asked that changed his relationship with the Holy Spirit forever.  In part one of this conversation, Scott talks about what it means to stay curious about people instead of writing them off, why asking the Holy Spirit for perspective before you react might be the most practical spiritual discipline there is, and what it looks like to do that not just with strangers but with the people closest to you — your kids, your spouse, the relationships where you think you already know the whole story.  We also get into what Scott calls releasing the dreamers — the conviction that God placed something creative and purposeful inside every person, and that fear is the primary thing keeping most people from ever finding out what it is. If you've been afraid to dream, or if you've quietly stopped, this conversation is going to stir something back up.

    Pt 2 | What is the Next Step When Everything Feels Uncertain? (feat. Ashlee Assadi)

    She couldn't pray for the outcome. She couldn't see what was coming. All she could do was take the next right step — and trust that the years of faithfulness in the secret place would hold.  Part two with Ashlee Assadi is one of those conversations that stays with you. Ashlee opens with what the Lord has been placing on her heart — the conviction that He will use everything developed in the secret place. The quiet mornings. The prayers over sleeping children. The worship music playing in the background when nobody is watching. She then shares one of the most honest and vulnerable parts of her story — walking through her husband Armin's mental health crisis while postpartum, not knowing what the days ahead would hold, and learning in the most personal way possible what it means to fight for someone in prayer when that's the only weapon you have. We also hear a glimpse of Armin's remarkable journey from Iran, and the mission that story has led them to now.  When everything feels uncertain, the next right step is enough. This episode is a beautiful reminder of that.  Join us online! 🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com  💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith  💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaith Wherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

    Pt 1 | Can Faith Begin in Your Darkest Moment? (feat. Ashlee Assadi)

    What if God can see you in the darkest place you've ever been — and He's already on His way to find you?  In part one, Jess sits down with Ashlee Assadi — wife, mom of five girls, artist, and writer whose words have now reached millions of people. But Ashlee's story doesn't start with a platform. It starts with a 21-year-old girl on her knees in tears, asking God if He's even real. Ashlee shares the moment that changed everything — the loss of her best friend, a prayer prayed in desperation, and a series of encounters so specific and so perfectly timed that looking back, there's really only one explanation. A bubbly stranger in a salon chair. A cousin's invitation to a worship night. A pastor who paused mid-service and described exactly what she'd been through. And a room full of people who prayed over her — the night she gave her life to Jesus and never looked back. We also hear about what happened on a mission trip to Mexico that permanently changed Ashlee's understanding of what God can do — including a moment straight out of the Gospel of John that she watched unfold right in front of her eyes.  And she closes with something for every mom, every person doing the quiet and unseen things — a reminder that God is in the small things. He sees them. And He works through them more than we know.  Join us online! 🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com  💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith  💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaith Wherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

    Could Your Yes Be the Beginning of the Next Miracle? (feat. Yegor Hambaryan)

    What if saying yes to God — even when it costs you everything — is actually the safest place you can be? Today we're joined by Yegor Hambaryan, a friend of the podcast who has lived more adventures with Jesus in one lifetime than most of us could imagine. Yegor grew up in Armenia, came to faith as a young boy at a summer camp, lost both of his parents as a teenager, and went on to spend years as a missionary across Europe. Most recently, he walked away from a successful tech sales career to become a student in New York — trusting God to handle the rest.  Yegor talks about what it looks like to be like a tree planted by a stream — not immune to hard seasons, but rooted deeply enough that the hard seasons don't change what you look like from the outside. He talks about the power of a grateful heart, why complainers never get things done, and why sharing the miracles God gives you is the very thing that opens the door to receiving more of them. If God is calling you to something that comes with a real cost right now, this one is for you.
