    I Cheated on My Spouse. Here’s What Actually Helps | Rick Reynolds - EP 48

    Most people don't know what to do after an affair-especially in the church, where many people suffer quietly and alone. In this episode, I sit down with Rick Reynolds founder of Affair Recovery, and we talk about his own story of betrayal, addiction, a vision, and what actually helps couples heal. If you're dealing with this topic right now, you're not alone, there's a path forward, and this conversation will help & encourage you.

    How to know you're actually saved and going to heaven | Rob Best - EP 47

    How do you actually know you’re saved? Not “I grew up in church” saved. Not “I said the right prayer once” saved. But genuinely, biblically saved. In this episode, I sit down with Rob Best to talk honestly about assurance of salvation — how Scripture defines it, where people get it wrong, and why so many Christians live with quiet doubt they never talk about. We dig into false assurance, real repentance, belief versus behavior, and why following Jesus isn’t about feelings, religious effort, or checking the right boxes. This conversation is shaped by Scripture and lived experience. No fluff. No hype. Just real talk about eternity, repentance, and what it means to truly trust Christ.

    How Emotionally Immature Men Quietly Destroy Families, Churches, and Companies I Dr. David Hawkins - EP 46

    After the success of my last episode with Dr. Hawkins (90k plus downloads), Dr. Hawkins suggested we do a sequel on the impact of emotionally immature men, not on marriages like the first interview, but on the kids. Dr. Hawkins' colleague, Ernest Hart, also joins us, and we get brutally practical about what emotional immaturity and emotional abuse actually do to a family over time: how it becomes “normal”, why kids eventually detach, how it shows up in church, and so much more. I really enjoyed this one. I hope you guys do too.
