    Don't Give Up Season 2 Ep 7: Trials & Tribulations

    In this episode, we dive into one of the most real parts of the Christian walk — trials and tribulations. Following Christ doesn’t mean life gets easier. It means you’re not walking through the fire alone. We talk about:  Facing hardship and staying faithful  Why trials are part of the journey  Trusting God when you don’t understand what He’s doing  Growing through pressure, pain, and perseverance Every believer will go through seasons that test their faith. The question isn’t if trials will come — it’s how you’ll respond when they do. This conversation is a reminder that God is working even in the middle of the struggle. Stay steady. Stay faithful. Don’t Give Up. 🎧 Podcasts We Love & Recommend 👉 Aligned Podcast  https://www.youtube.com/@alignedpodcast2024 👉 The Rev Show Podcast  https://www.youtube.com/@revhix 👉 The Devote Cast  https://www.youtube.com/@TheDevotecast 👉 HTY On Air  /@hty_on_air 👉 Josh Lovell  https://www.youtube.com/@Josh_Lovell 👉 Good Fight Studios  https://www.youtube.com/@Indy_Filmmaker

    Don't Give Up Season 2 Ep 6: Click it or Pickett ft THE Butler

    In this episode, Leonard Pickett and Chris Butler join us to talk about real change — the kind that starts when you make the decision to stop running and start rebuilding. We dive into the work being done at the Disciple Center in Texarkana, where lives are being transformed through faith, discipline, and commitment. This conversation covers:  Getting clean and staying clean  The daily fight to live a new life  What the Disciple Center is doing to help men rebuild  Accountability, structure, and surrender  Why giving up is not an option This isn’t theory — it’s real stories from people who’ve been through the struggle and are still standing. If you or someone you know is fighting to turn things around, this episode is a reminder that change is possible. Make the choice. Stay the course.

    Don't Give Up Season 2 Ep 4: Let's Go Live!

    In this special episode, Josh and Todd join us for an Instagram Live conversation we originally recorded back in November. We decided it was too good not to share with everyone. In this live discussion we talk about: Witnessing and sharing the Gospel Following the leading of the Holy Spirit Encouraging believers not to stay silent about their faith Real-life ministry conversations and experiences Sometimes the best conversations happen live and unscripted. This episode captures one of those moments — honest, encouraging, and centered on pointing people to Christ. If you’ve ever wondered how to start sharing your faith or how to listen to the prompting of the Holy Spirit, this conversation will encourage you. 🎧 Podcasts We Love & Recommend 👉 Aligned Podcast https://www.youtube.com/@alignedpodcast2024 👉 The Rev Show Podcast https://www.youtube.com/@revhix 👉 The Devote Cast https://www.youtube.com/@TheDevotecast 👉 HTY On Air /@hty_on_air 👉 Josh Lovell https://www.youtube.com/@Josh_Lovell 👉 Good Fight Studios https://www.youtube.com/@Indy_Filmmaker

    Don't Give Up Season 2 Ep 3: Shoutout

    This week we give a powerful shoutout to what God can do through obedience. We sit down with Todd Harrison to talk about the heart behind his song “Potter’s Wheel” — how it was written, what inspired it, and the message of surrender woven into every lyric. Todd also shares his personal testimony — the valleys, the shaping, and how God uses broken pieces to make something beautiful. And we talk about a milestone moment: His first time preaching at the Cornerstone Youth Convention — the nerves, the preparation, and how stepping out in faith changes everything. This episode is about being shaped, stretched, and sent. If you’ve ever felt like you’re still on the wheel… This one’s for you.

    Don't Give Up Season 2 Ep 2: Risen After Death

    This week we’re joined by Josh Lovell for a powerful and honest conversation about witnessing, introversion, and overcoming past failures. This episode is all about being RAD — Risen After Death. Because sometimes what needs to die isn’t your calling… it’s your fear. Your insecurity. Your shame from past mistakes. Josh shares openly about: Witnessing as an introvert Feeling unqualified for ministry Wrestling with failure Letting God resurrect confidence and boldness You don’t have to be the loudest person in the room to be effective for Christ. God doesn’t need your personality to change — He needs your obedience. If you’ve ever felt like your past disqualified you, this conversation will remind you: You can rise again. Stay faithful. Stay bold. Stay RAD. Don’t give up. 🎧 Podcasts We Love & Recommend 👉 Aligned Podcast https://www.youtube.com/@alignedpodcast2024 👉 The Rev Show Podcast https://www.youtube.com/@revhix76 👉 The Devote Cast https://www.youtube.com/@TheDevotecast 👉 HTY On Air /@hty_on_air 👉 Josh Lovell https://www.youtube.com/@Josh_Lovell 👉 Good Fight Studios https://www.youtube.com/@Indy_Filmmaker

    Don't Give Up Season 2 Ep 1: Sidewalks and Salvation

    In this episode of the Don’t Give Up Podcast, Carl Smith and James Drinkwater join us for an honest conversation about street witnessing—what it looks like in real life, the challenges that come with it, and why obedience matters more than comfort. We talk about meeting people where they are, sharing the Gospel outside the walls of the church, and trusting God with the results. From sidewalks and street corners to everyday conversations, this episode is about faith that steps out, even when it’s uncomfortable. 🎧 Podcasts We Love & Recommend 👉 Aligned Podcast https://www.youtube.com/@alignedpodcast2024 👉 The Rev Show Podcast https://www.youtube.com/@revhix76 👉 The Devote Cast https://www.youtube.com/@TheDevotecast 👉 HTY On Air /@hty_on_air 👉 Josh Lovell https://www.youtube.com/@Josh_Lovell 👉 Good Fight Studios https://www.youtube.com/@Indy_Filmmaker
