This show is to help others remove the pressure of being the “perfect Christian”. My goal is to help you in becoming more personal with Jesus. Intimacy over information. In Mark 8:27-29, we see this come alive. Jesus first asks His disciples what others say about Him (information). He later asks what they say about Him (intimacy). Based on this ENCOUNTER we see Simon receive a new identity which is Peter. His encounter changed his life and later the lives of countless people. That is my goal for all of us in this journey of following Jesus Christ!

    Encountering MENtal Health

    This Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re having a conversation that’s long overdue. In this episode of The Encounter Talks with Travis, we explore the reality behind men’s mental health—the silent battles, the hidden wounds, and the pressure many men feel to carry everything alone. From anxiety and depression to trauma, grief, and emotional exhaustion, too many men have been taught that silence is strength. But healing begins when we stop suffering in secret and start speaking honestly about what we’re carrying. This episode is an invitation to every man who feels like he has to have it all together: you are not alone, and your struggles do not make you weak. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, isolated, or afraid to ask for help, this conversation is for you. Healing begins when hiding ends.

    Encountering what is

    What do you do when life no longer looks like what you prayed for? In this episode of The Encounter Talks with Travis, we dive into the tension of wanting God to restore what was while He’s trying to teach us how to walk in what is. So many of us spend our lives grieving old seasons, old plans, old versions of ourselves, and even old expectations of God. But what if this current season isn’t punishment? What if it’s preparation? “Encountering What Is” is a raw and honest conversation about faith in the in-between seasons—the moments where life feels unfamiliar, uncomfortable, and uncertain. Through personal reflection, biblical truth, and real encouragement, we explore how God often works most deeply in the places we didn’t plan to be. This episode discusses: • Why we struggle to let go of “what was” • How God develops us in the present season • Faith when clarity hasn’t arrived yet • The danger of idolizing the past • Walking forward even when emotions lag behind • Trusting that God’s plan is still good We also reflect on how the world changed after 2020 and how many people are still trying to emotionally and spiritually return to a version of life that no longer exists. But healing doesn’t always come through restoration of the old—it sometimes comes through learning how to encounter God in the new. If you’ve been feeling stuck between where you were and where God is leading you, this conversation is for you. Because maybe God isn’t taking away. Maybe He’s leading you forward. “One encounter changes everything.”

    Encountering: When life interrupts the calling

    — When Life Interrupts the Calling After years away, Travis is back behind the mic with honesty, reflection, and purpose. In this comeback episode of The Encounter Talks with Travis, he opens up about the silence, the growth, and the reality of what happens when life interrupts what you know you’re called to do. This isn’t about perfection—it’s about returning. About showing up again, even after the pause. Through personal insight and Scripture like Galatians 6:9 and Philippians 1:6, this episode reminds you that: * Pausing doesn’t mean quitting * The calling doesn’t disappear * And God is still working—even in the interruption If you’ve ever felt like you fell off, got off track, or missed your moment—this episode is for you. This is more than a comeback. It’s a reset. Welcome back to The Encounter Talks with Travis… where one encounter changes everything.
