    Episode 106 – Overcoming the Fear of Man w/ Susie Larson

    Episode 106: a conversation with author, speaker, radio host, and friend of Bridging the Gap, Susie Larson, and our podcast host, Mykelti Blum. This recording, sponsored by Steinle Law PLLC, took place in front of a live studio audience during the 2025 Thrive Conference. Susie and Mykelti discuss living in the love of God versus the fear of man. You will hear them share about mindsets, times when they have looked too much to the opinion of others, and stories of how they gained freedom from fearing man. Susie will encourage you to embrace the discomfort as you live boldly and bravely in your faith. She explains how this will help you to grow in the Spirit as you start to remove fear and align with the Lord. This is such an impactful and exciting episode!

    Episode 105 – Nuclear Family Warfare w/ Dana Ross

    Episode 105: a conversation with wife and mother of three Dana Ross and our host, Mykelti Blum, as they discuss the nuclear family. What was God’s design for family, and how does the enemy attack the family relationally and systematically? Dana offers loads of wisdom and practical tools ranging from teaching our children the truth of God’s Word to thinking critically for themselves to creating boundaries around schedules to protecting priorities like family time and church. They also discuss the importance of having healthy female and male perspectives in a child’s life and how the church can fill gaps where needed to help provide a strong nuclear core. This one will challenge and encourage parents to be intentional in all avenues. Subscribe to the BTG Podcast on Apple Podcasts, iHeart, Spotify, YouTube, or listen on WordPress.

    Episode 104 – Tithing and Thriving w/ Derek Staaland

    Episode 104: a conversation with husband, father, and businessman Derek Staaland and our podcast host, Mykelti Blum, around the topic of tithing, offering, and generosity. You will hear Derek share his financial testimony and how his seeing God’s provision in such big ways grew a desire to teach on the importance of tithing and giving back to God what is His. Finances can be a touchy subject, and Derek and Mykelti break down why that is, as well as provide a helpful way of seeing our finances as a reflection of our faith journey. They also break down the difference between tithing and offering, with many biblical principles on the subject. If you’re someone who sometimes struggles with finances or the thought of “I can’t afford to tithe,” you will be so encouraged by this episode.
