    How Well Do You Really Know Your Spouse? | Love, Laughter & Marriage

    After 25 years of military service, Ben Everett has faced plenty of challenges—but can he survive a round of rapid-fire marriage questions with his wife? In Episode 22 of the Souled Out Podcast, host Chris Cawley, James, and Chastity welcome Ben and Stephanie Everett back for Part 2 of their conversation. This time, they're trading the serious discussions about military life and retirement for something a little more entertaining! From who said "I love you" first to who spends the most money, who's the better cook, and who is most likely to start an argument, Ben and Stephanie are put on the spot with questions that reveal just how well they really know each other. The couple shares the unforgettable story of how they met at a CiCi's Pizza, how a handmade paper rose led to a phone call, and the hilariously awkward moments surrounding their proposal and first kiss. But between the jokes and playful disagreements, there are also heartfelt moments. Ben reflects on Stephanie's support throughout his military career, including a special retirement surprise, while the couple shares what makes their relationship meaningful after years of marriage, deployments, and raising a family. And, of course, Chris manages to take the conversation down a few unexpected rabbit trails along the way! Whether you've been married for decades, are newlyweds, or just enjoy a good laugh, this episode reminds us that marriage isn't just about navigating life's challenges together—it's also about enjoying the person God placed beside you.

    Beyond the Uniform | Finding Purpose in God's Next Chapter

    What happens when the uniform comes off, the phone stops ringing, and the life you've known for decades begins to change? In Episode 21 of the Souled Out Podcast, host Chris Cawley is joined by James, Chastity, and special guests Ben and Stephanie Everett for an honest conversation about military service, faith, family, and finding purpose beyond the uniform. After 25 years of military service, Ben is preparing for retirement and facing something many veterans struggle with—learning to let go of the responsibilities, relationships, and sense of purpose that came with serving his country. Ben opens up about the emotional challenges of transitioning out of the military, the difficulty of no longer being the person everyone depends on, and how God is leading him toward a new season of ministry. Stephanie shares her perspective as a military wife, discussing the sacrifices families make, the challenges of deployments, and the importance of maintaining faith and spiritual leadership when your spouse is thousands of miles away. The conversation also explores what it means to be a Christian in the military, standing firm in your beliefs when the culture around you pushes in another direction, and why true leadership should reflect the character of Jesus Christ. Whether you're a veteran, an active-duty service member, a military spouse, or simply someone facing a major change in life, this episode is a reminder that your identity isn't found in your rank, career, or accomplishments. Your identity is found in Christ. In This Episode: The emotional challenges of military retirement Finding your identity and purpose beyond your career Learning to let go and trust God's timing Being a Christian in today's military The loneliness that can come with standing firm in your faith The importance of Christian friendships and accountability Maintaining a Christ-centered marriage through deployments Raising children in a military family The role of military chaplains and spiritual mentorship Recognizing God's calling into ministry What biblical leadership and masculinity really look like Preparing for the next chapter God has planned Key Takeaway: The uniform may come off, the rank may go away, and the mission may change—but your purpose in God's kingdom doesn't end when your military service does.

    What Are You Holding On To? | The Cost of Disobedience

    What happens when we know what God has called us to do—but choose our own way instead? In Episode 20 of the Souled Out Podcast, Chris, Christine, Amanda, James, and special guest Hannah Hogan sit down for a conversation filled with plenty of laughs, real-life stories, and a serious look at sin, obedience, accountability, and the consequences our choices can have on the people around us. Using the story of Joshua, Achan, and Israel's defeat at Ai, the group examines what happened when one man's disobedience affected an entire nation. That story leads to a bigger question for each of us: What are we holding on to that God has told us to let go of? The conversation gets personal as the group discusses guilt and shame, spiritual numbness, damaged relationships, loss of peace, and what can happen when we allow unrepentant sin to create distance between us and God. They also talk about the importance of Christian accountability and having people in our lives who are willing to tell us the truth—even when it's uncomfortable. This episode isn't just about recognizing sin. It's about examining our own lives, getting back up, and choosing obedience. In This Episode: Joshua and Israel's victory at Jericho Achan's disobedience and Israel's defeat at Ai Why our choices can affect more than just ourselves The difference between salvation and fellowship with God Guilt, shame, and spiritual numbness How sin can damage families and relationships The importance of Christian accountability Recognizing when something has taken God's place in our lives Why worship is more than an hour on Sunday Choosing obedience even when God asks us to do something difficult Key Takeaway:God doesn't call us to stay down in our failures. He calls us to get up, deal with what's separating us from Him, and walk forward in obedience. And don't miss the beginning of the episode—because somehow a discussion about bears breaking into trucks, mysteriously appearing cats, Disney vacations, and whether Christine secretly brought home two more animals eventually turns into a Bible study.

    The conversation continues. In Part 2 of Growing Up as a Pastor's Kid, Chris Cawley, Christine, Amanda, special guest Matt Robinson, and Chris's sons, Forrest and Cody, continue their honest discussion about faith, family, and life in ministry. What begins as a lighthearted conversation quickly turns into a powerful testimony about God's grace, healing, and redemption. The group opens up about church hurt, overcoming past mistakes, raising children to know Christ, and the importance of leading your family through intentional prayer and discipleship. Forrest shares the story of what brought him back to God, while Matt and Chris discuss the responsibility of fathers, the identity we find in Christ, and why our past never has to define our future. Filled with laughter, transparency, and biblical encouragement, this episode reminds us that no family is perfect—but God's grace is greater than our failures, and every generation has the opportunity to leave a stronger legacy of faith than the one before.

    Compassion Changes Everything | Part 2

    The conversation continues. In Part 2 of Compassion Changes Everything, Chris, Christine, Amanda, and James dive deeper into what it truly means to live out the compassion of Christ. Chris shares a powerful personal story about an unexpected encounter with a man named Joe that forever changed his understanding of generosity, obedience, and seeing people the way Jesus does. The team discusses why serving others isn't about recognition—it's about faithfully responding when God calls us to act. The conversation also explores the realities of serving people experiencing homelessness, overcoming rejection, sharing the Gospel with love, and trusting God even when the outcome isn't what we expect. Special guest Claire Dickinson joins the podcast to share her heart for helping homeless pets, inspiring the launch of the Souled Out Outreach Ministry—an initiative dedicated to serving both individuals experiencing homelessness and the companion animals that often become their only source of comfort and companionship. Whether through a conversation, a meal, a prayer, or a simple act of kindness, this episode reminds us that God often uses ordinary moments to accomplish extraordinary things.

    Compassion Changes Everything | Part 1

    What if God's greatest work begins when our plans don't go the way we expected? In Episode 16 of the Souled Out Podcast, Chris, Christine, Amanda, and James share how a church fundraiser that seemed unsuccessful became an opportunity to witness God's purpose in a much greater way. After taking leftover meals to a local homeless shelter, the team reflects on the life-changing experience of serving others, hearing their stories, and discovering that compassion often transforms the heart of the giver just as much as the one receiving. Together, they discuss what Scripture teaches about generosity, caring for the poor, sacrificial living, and why authentic faith is demonstrated through action—not just words. This is Part 1 of a powerful two-part conversation that challenges every believer to step outside their comfort zone and become the hands and feet of Jesus.
