    Pt 2 | God Isn’t Waiting — You Are (feat. R.D. Saunders)

    What if the only thing standing between you and your mission… is waiting?  In Part 2 of our conversation with R.D. Saunders, we’re moving on to the second pillar of everyday faith: embrace your mission.  R.D. reminds us that every single believer has a mission. The real question isn’t if you have one — it’s whether you’ve embraced it. From powerful stories about simple obedience to raw reflections on leadership, submission, and personal growth, this conversation cuts through the excuses that keep us stuck. Waiting to feel ready. Waiting to know more. Waiting for the perfect timing. What if waiting is the very thing keeping you from experiencing the power of God working through you? You don’t need more knowledge. You don’t need a bigger platform. You don’t need a title. You need a willing heart and a simple “yes.” If you’ve been hesitating, overthinking, or wondering where to start, this episode will remind you that mission begins right where you are — in everyday moments, with everyday obedience.

    Pt 1 | What to Do When God Feels Far Away (feat. R.D. Saunders)

    Welcome back! We’re kicking off Season 4 with a powerful conversation on the first pillar of everyday faith: start with belief. Joined by R.D. Saunders — a lifelong leader and pastor who has served with EQUIP Leadership and now leads as the President of Ohio Christian University.  R.D. shares his personal story of coming to faith through the sacrificial love of godly grandparents, reminding us that belief isn’t just taught—it’s caught when we see it lived out. Together, we explore the reality that everyone believes in something, but what we believe shapes everything: our identity, our decisions, our comfort, and our obedience. This conversation also dives into why following Jesus will stretch us beyond comfort, how belief grows through proximity to God, and what it looks like to keep trusting when life doesn’t match what you hoped for. If you’ve felt stuck, distant, disappointed, or like your faith is being tested—this episode will encourage you to return to the foundation: who God is, what He says about you, and why belief changes everything.  Join us online! 🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com 💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith 💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaith Wherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

    The Harvest Season Reveals What Preparation Built (feat. John & Shannon Velsor)

    What if the harvest you’re praying for is directly connected to the seeds you’re planting right now?  In this episode of the Everyday Faith Podcast, we are joined again by John and Shannon Velsor for a rich conversation about harvest season, planting faithfully, and understanding God’s timing. Together, we explore why Scripture talks just as much about reaping as it does sowing—and why harvest is not a passive season, but one that requires preparation, diligence, and stewardship.  John and Shannon reflect on seasons of waiting, obedience, and unseen work, sharing how planting seeds of faithfulness, forgiveness, prayer, and trust prepares the soil for future fruit.  If you’re longing to see fruit in your life but aren’t sure how to remain faithful in the in-between, this episode will encourage you to keep planting, keep trusting, and be ready for the harvest God is growing beneath the surface.  Join us online! 🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com 💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith 💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaith Wherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

    Hard Seasons Don’t Ruin You – They Can Remake You (feat. John & Shannon Velsor)

    What if the most painful season of your life is actually preparing you for something greater? In this episode of the Everyday Faith Podcast, we welcome back John Velsor—this time with his wife, Shannon—for a powerful conversation about the cruciform life: living in full surrender to God with sacrificial love toward others.  Together, we unpack how sowing seeds of forgiveness, blessing, and faithfulness in a hard season can lead to a true “harvest” on the other side. You’ll hear stories of unexpected provision, encouragement, and the internal transformation that happens when you ask, “God, what are you doing in me?” — not just “Why is this happening to me?”  If you’re in a difficult season, waiting on God, or learning how to forgive and keep going when it hurts, this episode will remind you: what feels like punishment might actually be preparation—and resurrection can follow the cross.  Check out John's Socials ➡️ https://bio.site/JohnVelsor  Join us online! 🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com 💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith 💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaith Wherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

    From Purpose to Practice | Setting Goals with Intention

    Are you ready for a simpler, faith-filled approach to goal setting that actually leads to growth?  In today's episode, we share a practical, faith-based approach to annual goal setting that actually works. Building on our previous conversation last week about family purpose and guiding principles, we explain how to create SMART goals that align with who God has called you to be.  Instead of setting too many goals and burning out, we talk about why fewer, more intentional goals - rooted in purpose and lived out in community - lead to greater clarity, freedom, and long-term growth. If you’re tired of setting goals that don’t stick and want a better way to grow in your everyday faith, this episode will help you start strong and finish well.  Join us online! 🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com 💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith 💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaith Wherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

    Identity Before Goals | A Faith-Based Vision for the New Year

    What if the key to setting meaningful goals isn’t doing more – but first knowing who you are?   In this episode of the Everyday Faith Podcast, we're kicking off the year by flipping the traditional goal-setting conversation on its head. Instead of starting with resolutions and to-do lists, we invite listeners to begin with identity – who God has created you to be.  We walk through a simple but powerful framework for building family guiding principles, grounded in faith and Scripture. You’ll hear how defining a God-given purpose, clear guiding principles, and a daily goal can bring alignment, clarity, and consistency to everyday life – whether you’re single, married, or raising a family.  This episode is a helpful starting point for anyone who wants to set goals that actually reflect their faith – and live them out every day.

    Pt 2: John Velsor + A Life of Cross-Shaped Faith

    What does it really mean to live a cross-shaped life when obedience costs more than you expected? Sitting back down with John Velsor - senior pastor, leadership coach, and passionate advocate for transformation in families and leaders - we dive deeper into the pillars of belief and obedience through one of John’s personal seasons.  John shares how a painful season of betrayal led to anxiety, panic attacks, and what he describes as a “dark night of the soul”. But in the middle of the chaos, God met him with a deeper invitation: to live the cruciform life, shaped by the cross—hands surrendered to God and arms open in sacrificial love toward others. Together, we talk about why pursuing the right community matters, how to return to your “base” when you get blindsided, and why the turning point in healing often comes when you can not only forgive—but bless the people who wounded you.  If you’re in a hard season and wondering where God is in it—or what obedience looks like when it costs you—this conversation will strengthen your faith and remind you: the dark night may not be an interruption… it might be an invitation.  Join us online! 🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com 💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith 💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaith Wherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!
