    Kind Human-Nick Schwartz (24)

    Nick Schwartz grew up with a quiet, steady faith; the kind that doesn’t come with fireworks or dramatic turning points. But somewhere between hedge‑fund boardrooms, long commutes, and a backwards‑walking stranger on the sidewalk, God began weaving a story Nick never saw coming. In this conversation, Nick opens up about the years when God felt silent, the slow burn of frustration and longing, and the unexpected moment that cracked everything open. What started as a simple nudge toward a man in need became a chain of events so precise, so tender, so unmistakably guided that it reshaped Nick’s faith and his entire life’s direction. Today, Nick is helping bring clean water and the living water of the gospel to communities around the world. But the road there was anything but straightforward. His story is a reminder that God’s timing is rarely our timing, His silence is never absence, and His fingerprints often show up only when we look back. “Sometimes when God appears to be saying no, He’s really just saying not yet.” If you’re in a season of waiting, wrestling, or wondering whether God still moves, this testimony is for you.

    Called By Name-Helmut Hensel (20)

    In this powerful episode, Helmut opens up about a lifetime of walking with God; through calling, loss, identity, ministry, and the quiet places where God speaks the loudest. From a childhood shaped by faith-filled generations, to the moment a 9‑year‑old boy grabbed his father’s arm and said “I have to go,” Helmut’s story is full of threads that reveal how God weaves purpose long before we recognize it. He shares about the unexpected turns; missions work, deep personal struggles, the ache of wanting to be “enough,” and the gentle way God dismantles lies we carry from childhood. There’s a moment in this episode when two simple words spoken over him shake something loose in his soul. You’ll feel the weight of it when it comes. And then there’s the part of his story that unfolds in a hospital room—one that shows what it looks like when God prepares us for a moment we never wanted but were uniquely shaped to walk through. Through every chapter, Helmut’s testimony echoes the truth of Isaiah 43:1: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.” If you’ve ever wrestled with worthiness, identity, or the tension between who you want to be and who you think you are, this conversation will meet you right where you are. 🎧 Settle in for a story that reminds us that God sees us, knows us, and calls us worthy, even when we struggle to believe it. 👉 Follow the show, leave a rating, and share this episode with someone who needs to be reminded that God is present in every chapter of their story.
