    Pray, Pray, Pray: Faith in Community — Love in Action

    What does it really mean to do life together as followers of Jesus? In this episode of Pray, Pray, Pray, Adam reflects on Acts 2:42–47 and Romans 12, exploring what it looks like to live out our faith through genuine Christian community, meaningful relationships, and a willingness to serve others. From the encouragement and fellowship of a men's Bible study to the changing seasons of friendships and ministry, Adam shares how God uses community to strengthen our faith through both the highest highs and the lowest lows of life. But Christian community isn't about simply showing up, finding comfort, or surrounding ourselves with people who think exactly like us. It's about becoming a living sacrifice, discovering how God has gifted each of us, and putting love into action. What does it mean to bless those who persecute us, rejoice with those who rejoice, mourn with those who mourn, and overcome evil with good? And how do we move beyond the familiar routines of church to become the salt and light Jesus calls us to be? Join Adam for an honest reflection on faith, fellowship, spiritual growth, and the challenge of stepping outside our comfort zones to love and serve others. Scripture references: Acts 2:42–47; Romans 12:1–21 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Send us Fan Mail

    Dear God, Amen: Acts 20 — Repent, Run, and Finish the Race

    What does genuine repentance actually look like? Is it simply saying, “God, I’m sorry,” or does it mean something deeper? In Acts 20, Paul gives the Ephesian elders a powerful picture of what it means to follow Jesus with purpose. He speaks about repentance, faith, hardship, perseverance, and the responsibility to proclaim the good news of God’s grace. His words are not about building a comfortable Christian life—they are about finishing the race and faithfully completing the work Jesus has given us. In this episode of Dear God, Amen, Adam and Obie dig into Acts 20 and wrestle with what repentance really means: turning around and going in a different direction. They talk honestly about sin, temptation, spiritual growth, sanctification, and the importance of running from the things that continually pull us away from God. The conversation also turns toward something many Christians wrestle with: distraction. Good things can become consuming things. Family, sports, work, hobbies, church activities, and even ministry can take the place that belongs to God when we aren't paying attention. What are we actually pursuing? Are we simply doing Christian things, or are we truly pursuing Jesus? Acts 20 challenges us to examine our hearts, repent where we have drifted, guard what God has entrusted to us, and live with the same kind of urgency Paul had—to finish the race and testify to the good news of God's grace. Join Adam and Obie for an honest, sometimes humorous, and ultimately challenging conversation through Acts 20. Send us Fan Mail

    Pray, Pray, Pray: Faith in the Middle of Doubt

    What does real faith look like when you don't have all the answers? In this deeply personal episode of Pray, Pray, Pray, Obie shares what God has been teaching him about faith, repentance, identity, and trusting God—even when doubt and questions are still present. The episode begins with a moment alone in his truck, overwhelmed by feelings of failure, complacency, and unworthiness. Through worship and repentance, Obie describes experiencing a powerful reminder that he is loved, forgiven, and that his identity is found in God—not in what he accomplishes. Then came an unexpected opportunity to put faith into action. When his wife was experiencing severe knee pain, Obie's first response wasn't to figure everything out—it was to pray. He prayed for complete healing, even while admitting that he wasn't sure the prayer would work. The next day, her pain was gone. He doesn't present himself as a healer or claim credit for what happened. Instead, he points everything back to Jesus and reflects on what the experience taught him about faith. As he puts it, faith isn't about having every question answered or never experiencing fear and doubt. Faith is trusting God in the middle of those things. This episode is also an invitation to anyone who feels far from God, has been hurt by Christians, is struggling with faith, or has never surrendered their life to Jesus. If you're searching, doubting, hurting, or simply trying to grow closer to God, this episode is for you. Faith doesn't have to mean having no questions. Sometimes faith means trusting God enough to take the next step. Listen to the full episode of Pray, Pray, Pray from Big Sky Testify. Send us Fan Mail

    Dear God, Amen: Acts 19 — Who Are You? Knowing Jesus, Walking by the Spirit

    What does it really mean to know Jesus? In Acts 19, Paul encounters disciples who had experienced John's baptism but had not yet understood the Holy Spirit. From there, the conversation takes us through some of the most challenging and fascinating moments in Acts: the power of the Holy Spirit, extraordinary miracles, people attempting to use the name of Jesus without actually knowing Him, repentance, sorcery, idols, spiritual discernment, and a city thrown into chaos because the Gospel was changing lives. Adam and Obie wrestle honestly with what these passages mean for believers today. They talk about the difference between knowing about Jesus and having a genuine relationship with Him, and why we should be careful not to treat Jesus' name like a formula or magic phrase. The conversation also turns toward everyday discipleship: What are we allowing into our homes, our minds, and our children's lives? What entertainment, habits, or influences might be given a foothold? And how do we confront those things without becoming condemning? One of the most powerful themes of the episode is surrender. Adam and Obie talk about the difference between submission and full surrender, and what it looks like to physically and spiritually lay the things we are holding onto at the feet of Jesus. The episode closes with prayer, including Jesus' prayer in John 17 and Psalm 139—a reminder that God knows us completely, calls us to surrender, and desires a genuine relationship with us. This is another honest, sometimes funny, sometimes challenging journey through Scripture on Dear God, Amen. Read Acts 19. Then ask yourself: Do I know Jesus—or do I simply know about Him? What am I holding onto that I need to surrender? Send us Fan Mail

    Pray, Pray, Pray: Who Is on Your Prayer List?

    Who are you carrying before God in prayer? In this episode of Pray, Pray, Pray, Adam reflects on his grandmother's old prayer journal and the intentional way she prayed for the people in her life. That memory sparks a challenge: are we intentionally praying for the people God has placed around us—or have we slowly stopped praying for some of them? Through Scripture, we look at the example of Jesus in John 17, Paul's prayers for the churches, Samuel's commitment to continue praying for God's people, Moses interceding for Israel, Job praying for his friends, Abraham pleading for Sodom, and the early church praying together for Peter. This episode is a reminder that intercessory prayer is more than asking God to fix someone's circumstances. We can pray that people would know God more deeply, receive wisdom and revelation, repent, walk in obedience, bear spiritual fruit, endure suffering, and seek God's will. Adam also shares a simple Prayer Journal Challenge: write down five people, choose a Bible verse for each person, pray specifically and intentionally for them every day, and record what God does over time. The goal isn't to control God with our prayers. It's to bring people before Him and say: "Your will be done in their life. Work in them, work through them, and work in me." Who is on your prayer list? Who have you stopped praying for? Who needs you to pray for them—even if they don't know it? It's time to Pray, Pray, Pray. Send us Fan Mail

    Dear God, Amen: Acts 18: Plant, Water, God Makes It Grow

    What happens when the church gets divided, people become offended, and Christians start following personalities instead of Christ? In this episode of Dear God, Amen, Adam and Obie continue through Acts 18 as Paul arrives in Corinth, works alongside Aquila and Priscilla, preaches the Gospel, faces opposition, and receives a powerful word from the Lord: “Do not be afraid. Keep on speaking. Do not be silent, for I am with you.” From there, the conversation expands into Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians and Corinthians and what they reveal about the early church. The guys talk about division within the church, denominational differences, spiritual maturity, and the reminder that while one person may plant and another may water, God is the one who makes it grow. The conversation then gets personal — exploring offense, repentance, calling sin what it is, Christian marriage, fatherhood, leadership in the home, and the responsibility to examine the person in the mirror before worrying about everyone else. This episode gets passionate, uncomfortable, funny, and very real. But underneath all of it is one central question: Are we following Christ — or are we becoming followers of people, labels, traditions, and our own opinions? Listen to the full conversation and walk through Acts 18 with us. Dear God, Amen.

    Pray, Pray, Pray: When God Asks You to Let Go of Your Idols

    What happens when something God blessed you with slowly becomes something you worship? In this episode of Pray, Pray, Pray, Adam shares a deeply personal season of repentance, obedience, and sanctification. After years of building his landscaping business, Adam realized that something good had taken the place in his heart that belonged to God. Through prayer, God began revealing pride, workaholism, identity, and the need to surrender control. Adam shares what it looked like to let go—not because his business was necessarily bad, but because it had become too important. This episode is a reminder that God's discipline is not rejection. It is the loving correction of a Father who wants to draw us closer to Him. What might God be asking you to surrender? Send us Fan Mail

    Dear God, Amen: Acts 17 — Who or What Do You Worship?

    What happens when the Gospel confronts a culture filled with distractions, idols, competing ideas, and misplaced worship? In Acts 17, Paul travels through Thessalonica, Berea, and Athens, boldly proclaiming Jesus and the resurrection. From riots and opposition to the intellectual marketplace of Athens, Paul continues to bring the truth of the Gospel wherever God sends him. But Acts 17 also forces us to look inward. The Athenians had an altar dedicated “to an unknown god.” Obie and Adam take that idea and ask a difficult question: Who or what do we worship today? Our idols may not look like statues of Greek gods. They can look like careers, possessions, status, sports, entertainment, relationships, comfort, success, or even our own identity. Sometimes the things we worship aren't obvious to us at all. The conversation moves from idols to sin, repentance, pride, accountability, and surrender. The guys talk openly about the importance of bringing hidden sin into the light rather than allowing it to grow in secrecy. They also explore what Jesus meant when He said to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him. And there is good news in the middle of all of it: We don't have to clean ourselves up before coming to Jesus. We bring our sin, shame, doubts, fears, and brokenness to Him. We repent, surrender, and follow. Acts 17 challenges us to examine what sits on the throne of our lives—and then turn our hearts back toward the One who created us, redeemed us, and calls us to Himself. This isn't a conversation about someone else's idols. It's a heart check for all of us. Send us Fan Mail
