Faith Is a Journey is a Christian podcast for people who believe the Bible but struggle to live it out when life gets messy. We're a husband and wife, not pastors or theologians. Every week we open God's Word and have honest conversations about what it really means to follow Jesus in everyday life. We talk about doubt, marriage, discipline, fear, unanswered prayers, forgiveness, failure, and the gap between what we believe and how we actually live. We simply want to seek God's truth together through His Word. If you're tired of shallow encouragement, church clichés, and conversations that never get below the surface, you're in the right place. Disclaimer: The conversations on this podcast reflect our personal understanding of Scripture and our own experiences following Christ. They are shared for encouragement and discussion and are not a substitute for your own study of Scripture, wise counsel, or professional advice when needed.

    The Choices That Built Our Marriage

    After 26 years of marriage, we've learned that lasting relationships aren't built during the easy seasons. They're forged through loss, hardship, forgiveness, and ultimately by putting Christ at the center. In this episode of Faith Is a Journey, we share our story of building a Christ-centered marriage through raising a family, building a business together, walking through grief, years of spiritual wandering, and discovering how returning to Christ transformed our lives. Our prayer is that our journey encourages you in yours and points you toward Jesus. Scriptures referenced: Matthew 7:24-27, Ecclesiastes 4:12 Note: This episode reflects our personal experiences and opinions after 26 years of marriage. Every relationship is unique. If you're in an abusive or unsafe relationship, please seek appropriate professional help and support.

    Was I Worshiping God... or People?

    In this episode of Faith Is a Journey, we share a personal story of rejection within a church ministry and the unexpected lessons God taught us through it. We talk about church hurt, rejection, idolizing people instead of Christ, and how God can use closed doors to lead us in a new direction. If you've ever felt overlooked, unwanted, or discouraged by people in the church, this conversation is for you. Our hope is that you'll be encouraged to keep your eyes on Jesus, trust God's plan, and remember that your identity is found in Christ not in the approval of others. Scripture discussed: David, Joseph, Acts, and Jesus' rejection in His hometown. We'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for joining us on the journey.

    The Lesson My Dad Left Behind

    One faded poem. One faithful father. One lesson I'll never forget. While cleaning out my parents' home after my father's passing, I found an old framed copy of The Man in the Glass, a poem he kept for years as a daily reminder to live with integrity. In this episode of Faith Is a Journey, I reflect on what that poem meant to him, the legacy he left behind, and how Scripture takes its message even further. The poem reminds us not to cheat the person we see in the mirror. The Bible reminds us that God sees even deeper, our motives, our hearts, and who we're becoming. This is a conversation about character, integrity, legacy, and becoming the person God is shaping us to be. If this episode encouraged you, we'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. What lesson or value did someone in your life leave behind that still shapes you today? Thanks for joining us on the journey.

    Why Are We So Desperate to Be Seen?

    Every one of us wants to be seen, known, and valued. But what happens when our identity starts depending on likes, compliments, success, or other people's approval? In this kitchen table conversation, we talk honestly about our own struggle with validation, how social media amplifies it, and why nothing in this world can satisfy the deepest longing of the human heart. Together we explore what Scripture says about where our true identity is found and why lasting peace comes from knowing God rather than chasing the approval of people. Scripture discussed: Genesis 3, Ecclesiastes 3:11, Psalm 139, Galatians 1:10, and Isaiah 43:1.

    10 Proverbs That Will Change the Way You Live

    What if some of the best advice for life was written nearly 3,000 years ago? In this episode of Faith Is a Journey, we explore 10 powerful Proverbs and discuss how they apply to everyday life. From choosing the right friends and controlling your words to avoiding pride, working diligently, and growing in wisdom, these timeless principles are just as relevant today as they were when they were written. We also talk about why Proverbs isn't a book of guarantees, but a collection of practical wisdom that helps us navigate real life. Whether you're new to the Bible or have been reading it for years, this conversation will challenge you to slow down, reflect, and apply God's wisdom in your own life. In this episode, we discuss: Why Proverbs are principles, not promises How your friendships shape your future The danger of pride and unchecked words Why hard work beats empty talk What "Iron Sharpens Iron" really means Practical ways to apply biblical wisdom every day If you've ever wondered how the Book of Proverbs applies to modern life, this episode is for you.

    Out of the Depths: Finding God in the Struggle

    Psalm 130 begins with a cry from the depths. Before victory, before celebration, before relief, there is a person calling out to God in the middle of struggle. In this episode, we talk about why stories of redemption resonate so deeply with us. From worship music and country songs to movies and biblical examples, we explore how pain, repentance, forgiveness, and hope are woven throughout the Christian journey. Why do redemption stories hit us so hard? Why do songs about struggle often feel so real? And how do we hold on to hope without pretending life is always easy? Join us as we discuss Psalm 130, the prodigal son, the apostle Paul, and the promise Jesus gives us in John 16:33: "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

    Many Are Called, Few Are Chosen: The Parable That Made Me Examine My Faith

    In this episode of Faith is a Journey, I share a surprising moment that happened while reading my Bible. After opening to Matthew 22 and reading Jesus' Parable of the Wedding Feast, one verse stopped me in my tracks: "Many are called, but few are chosen." As we unpack the parable together, we explore what the wedding feast represents, why some rejected the invitation, and what it means that one guest was thrown out for not wearing the proper wedding garments. Most importantly, the passage led me to ask a difficult question: Am I truly trusting God, or am I just saying that I trust God? We discuss the difference between outward religion and genuine faith, the warning found in Matthew 7, and why this parable isn't about having a bad day or struggling with fear. It's about whether we're coming to God on our terms or His. If you've ever wrestled with doubts, wondered what Jesus meant by "many are called, but few are chosen," or found yourself examining your own faith, this conversation is for you. Scripture: Matthew 22:1-14
