    Grow + Go | Getting Through What You're Going Through with Tanner Olson

    I don’t think I could love this conversation more if I tried. Not least because Tanner Olson’s new book (just released!) Getting Through What You’re Going Through is brilliant and he shared some of the poems and thoughts from within, but also because Tanner just loves Jesus and people and has learnt some things along the way which he shares with us like the Sage that he is. We talk about: ✨ Bacon, because bacon is important✨ How to get through what you’re going through✨ What keeps us stuck✨ The power and importance of opening our hands, taking a breath, and heading outside✨ God speaking silence fluently✨ Why sometimes we need to shed our skin aka snake style✨ How life is hard, but God is good If you could write a poem or a line to yourself in the middle of a hard season, what would it say?

    Grow + Go | Finding Joy with Asheritah Ciuciu

    This was such an encouraging conversation with Asheritah Ciuciu about joy, delight, and the ways God restores our hearts when spiritual disciplines feel like a burden. Asheritah shares her story of growing up as a missionary kid in Romania, how her name—“God is my happiness”—has shaped her identity, and the journey from legalistic quiet time to a life of prayer, delight, and joy. We explore the importance of community in spiritual growth, the gift of ordinary moments, and practical ways to find restoration when faith feels heavy. We talk about: ✨ How names and identity influence our relationship with God✨ Rediscovering joy in spiritual disciplines✨ Why community is essential for encouragement and restoration✨ Seeing God at work in everyday life and ordinary moments✨ Moving from duty to delight in prayer, scripture, and worship✨ Finding joy after dark seasons or spiritual burnout✨ How homeschooling and family rhythms can shape spiritual formation Whether you’re parenting, homeschooling, or simply seeking a deeper, more joyful connection with God, this episode invites you to experience restoration, delight, and His presence in the everyday.

    Grow + Go | The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery with Dr Lee Warren

    In this thought-provoking conversation, I sit down with everyone’s favourite neurosurgeon, Dr. Lee Warren (also an author, and all-round deep thinker) to explore the transformative practice he teaches called self-brain surgery. Dr. Lee unpacks the science of neuroplasticity in a way that’s both accessible and faith-filled, helping us understand that our brains are far more adaptable than we realise. We talk about how intentional thinking, gratitude, and taking our thoughts captive can reshape our internal world and ultimately change how we show up in our external one. What I loved most about this conversation is how seamlessly he weaves together neuroscience and the hope of the gospel. It’s practical, deeply encouraging, and a reminder that we are not trapped by old patterns. There’s real healing available — and it begins in the mind. We talk about: ✨ What self-brain surgery actually is — and why it matters✨ Why you are not defined by your past thought patterns✨ The power of neuroplasticity to reshape your brain✨ How gratitude can chemically shift anxiety✨ Using “thought biopsies” to challenge unhealthy thinking✨ Why chronic stress affects not just you, but everyone around you✨ How faith and neuroscience work together in renewal✨ Finding purpose and hope, even in seasons of deep suffering Connect further with Dr. Lee: WebsiteSocials: @drleewarren Connect further with Em: ⁠Substack⁠ | ⁠emtyler.com⁠ | ⁠Instagram⁠ | Facebook |  Email  Interested in having Em come speak at your event? ⁠Book Em today! ⁠ If you found this podcast helpful, please subscribe.

    Grow + Go | Finding Beauty in Suffering with Kimberly Phinney

    Boy oh boy did the Spirit show up in this conversation with the brilliant Kimberly Phinney as we talked about navigating chronic illness with faith, resilience, and creativity. Kimberly shares her journey through stage four endometriosis, sepsis, and the challenges of living with a chronic condition, reflecting on how these experiences have shaped her faith and creative expression. We explore the importance of community support, finding beauty in suffering, and using poetry and creative outlets to process pain and connect with God. Kimberly also shares her mission with The Way Back to Ourselves, a platform supporting creatives and leaders, and how gratitude, prayer, and presence in the lives of others sustain hope and healing. We talk about: ✨ How chronic illness can transform your faith and perspective✨ The power of community and support in difficult seasons✨ Finding beauty and meaning even in suffering✨ Prayer and daily connection with God as tools for resilience✨ Creative expression, like poetry, as a form of healing✨ The role of gratitude in reframing our challenges✨ Being present and supportive for others in their struggles Whether you’re navigating illness, supporting someone you love, or seeking ways to live fully in the tension of pain and hope, this episode is an invitation to embrace resilience, faith, and creative expression in your journey.

    Grow + Go | Embracing Everyday Faith with Jo Trickey

    Loved this conversation with the fabulous ‘many-letters-after-her-name’ Jo Trickey about integrating faith, leadership, and everyday life. Jo shares her journey from a conservative perspective on women in leadership to embracing a broader view, highlighting how God’s presence is woven into every part of life—from work and motherhood to community and church. We discuss the role of the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity (LICC) in helping believers live out their faith daily, the challenges and joys of motherhood, and the beauty of discovering God in the ordinary moments. We talk about: ✨ How God delights in the work you do, no matter its scale or context✨ Embracing women’s leadership in the church and community✨ Recognising God in the mundane, everyday aspects of life✨ Balancing motherhood, ambition, and calling without guilt✨ Integrating faith into work, relationships, and daily routines✨ The importance of community for spiritual growth and encouragement✨ Finding inspiration in the stories of Jesus Whether you’re navigating leadership, parenting, or the demands of everyday life, this episode is an invitation to see God in all you do and to lead with faith, courage, and authenticity.

  6. Grow + Go | When Faith Meets Addiction with 'Christian Alcoholic', Jon M. Seidl

    Grow + Go | When Faith Meets Addiction with 'Christian Alcoholic', Jon M. Seidl

    In this powerful and let-it-all-hang-loose conversation, I sit down with my friend Jonathon M. Seidl to talk about faith, addiction, and the kind of radical vulnerability that leads to real healing. Jon shares openly about his journey with alcoholism—how it began, what it cost him, and how Jesus met him in the breaking. We explore what sanctification really looks like in the messiness of everyday life, why addiction is ultimately a worship issue, and why none of us can afford to sin as a pet. Jon walks us through four practical steps toward freedom, and together we unpack the tension between obedience, trust, and the slow, steady work of being formed into Christ’s likeness. This episode is full of truth, hope, and encouragement for anyone who’s struggling—or loves someone who is. We talk about: ✨ Why sanctification is slow, beautiful, and lifelong✨ How addiction reveals what (and who) we worship✨ Why “Aim for Jesus, get sobriety thrown in” is more than a slogan✨ The necessity of radical vulnerability and confession✨ Why sin can’t be managed, only surrendered✨ What mortification and vivification (vivi-what-now?!) look like in real life✨ The four key steps for breaking free If Jon’s story encouraged you today, let it remind you of this: Jesus meets us in the places we least want to admit we’re struggling. Addiction doesn’t get the final word—grace does. Whether your battle is with alcohol, fear, shame, or something you’ve never said out loud, freedom begins with bringing it into the light. Keep choosing vulnerability. Keep choosing obedience. Keep choosing Jesus. He is faithful to complete the work He’s begun in you.

    Grow + Go | Looking Ahead with Hope with Dan Tyler (pt.2)

    In this New Year’s episode, Dan and I pick up right where we left off — shifting from reflecting on what God carried us through to looking toward what He’s preparing next. This conversation is slower, honest, and full of expectancy as we talk about the kind of year we’re hoping to build with God. We explore the small signs of His faithfulness that give us courage for what’s ahead, the areas where we’re praying for clarity, and the practices we want to take with us into 2026. We share what it means to welcome a fresh start, how we’re learning to stay open to change, and why listening — really listening — is shaping our hopes for the year in front of us. We talk about: ✨ What we’re hopeful for as we step into 2026✨ The ways God has been stirring new things beneath the surface✨ Why prayer and paying attention are shaping our expectations✨ The tenderness of transition and being gentle with ourselves as we grow✨ Where we’re asking God for guidance, courage, and clarity✨ How God works even when we don’t fully see the whole picture yet This episode is an invitation to begin the year with openness, trust, and expectancy — knowing that God is already ahead of us, making a way.

    Grow + Go | Reflecting on God’s Faithfulness with the Best Guest Ever

    In this super fun conversation, the one-and-only Dan Tyler (aka my hubby) and I look back over the past year and name the moments, challenges, surprises, and small mercies that revealed God’s faithfulness in ways we didn’t expect. We talk about what it means to begin again with God—not from pressure or performance, but from a place of prayer, listening, and trusting that He is always doing something new. We share the lessons we learned through transition, the gift of community, and why slowing down enough to listen—to God and to one another—has shaped us more than any plan we could make. This conversation is fun, candid, and full of real-life moments, but also touches on deep, vulnerable places. It’s a reflection on growth, change, love, and the presence of God woven through it all. What a way to wrap up 2025! We talk about: ✨ God’s faithfulness through unexpected challenges✨ The power of prayer and listening in seasons of change✨ How community supports us through life’s highs and lows✨ Being patient with yourself in transition✨ Seeing God’s hand even when it feels hidden Whether you’re weary, hopeful, uncertain, or ready for a fresh start, this episode invites you to slow down, reflect with intention, and trust that God is already preparing the way ahead.
