    S2. Ep. 5 w/ Andelina Storm

    Sanity in the Storm: Faith, Anxiety, and Finding God at 9 Years Old with Andelina Storm In this powerful and deeply moving episode of EVOLVE thru God, Angela Goodman sits down with her youngest guest yet — author, speaker, and mental health advocate Andelina “Storm” Grossi. At just 20 years old, Storm carries a level of wisdom that can only come from walking through real pain… and choosing faith anyway. Her journey with God began at just nine years old, in the middle of overwhelming fear, anxiety, and OCD triggered by the loss of her grandfather. What started as prayers rooted in fear eventually transformed into a relationship rooted in trust, peace, and unwavering faith. But her story doesn’t stop there. Storm opens up about: Living with OCD, anxiety, depression, and ADHD Experiencing a spiritual “dry season” where she could no longer feel God The devastating loss of a friend to suicide Hitting emotional rock bottom in college And making the daily decision to choose God over fear Through it all, she discovered something life-changing: 👉 Faith isn’t about always feeling God — it’s about choosing Him even when you can’t. Now, through her book “Sanity in the Storm”, her Podcast, and her advocacy work, Storm is helping others navigate mental health struggles while staying rooted in faith. This episode is a reminder that no matter how heavy life feels… You are not alone. God is not absent. And your story is not over. 💡 Lessons Learned You don’t have to feel God to still be held by Him. Faith that begins in fear can grow into trust. Mental health struggles do not disqualify your faith. Every season — even the darkest — has purpose. Your pain can become your calling. Routine creates stability in unstable seasons. You don’t live with anxiety — anxiety lives with you. The way you speak to yourself shapes your healing. You are most equipped to help the person you used to be. 🎁 The Gift of This Episode The gift of this episode is hope for the overwhelmed soul. If you’ve ever felt: anxious depressed disconnected from God unsure how to keep going This conversation reminds you: ✨ You can keep going ✨ You are still called ✨ God is still working — even in silence And most importantly: 👉 Put a comma in your story… not a period. ___________________________________________________________ WHO IS ANDELINA "STORM" GROSSI?

    S2. Ep. 4 w/ Dr. Samantha Harte

    From Survival to Safety: Dr. Samantha Harte on Healing, Self-Forgiveness, and Hearing God In this deeply transformative episode of EVOLVE thru God, Angela Goodman sits down with bestselling author, keynote speaker, and trauma-informed physical therapist Dr. Samantha Harte for a conversation that bridges science, soul, and spiritual awakening. Samantha’s story begins in complete disconnection from God. Raised in a household where she was taught that God didn’t exist and that self-reliance was the only option, she entered adulthood driven, high-achieving… and internally fractured. What followed was a life shaped by perfectionism, addiction, shame, and survival patterns that kept her functioning on the outside — but breaking on the inside. It wasn’t until her 30s — after addiction, recovery, and the unraveling of her marriage — that everything cracked open. And that’s where God entered. Not through religion. Not through force. But through safety. Through self-forgiveness. Through compassion. Through learning how to separate herself from her shame. This episode explores the profound connection between trauma, nervous system regulation, identity, and our ability to hear God. Inside this conversation: • Why you cannot access God when you feel unsafe • How addiction, perfectionism, and control are survival responses • The difference between shame and self-awareness • What it means to “borrow someone else’s faith” • How self-forgiveness becomes the gateway to spiritual connection • Where science meets soul in the healing process Dr. Harte’s work now lives at the intersection of nervous system safety, trauma healing, and spiritual reconnection — helping people not just fix their lives, but free themselves from suffering. 💡 Lessons Learned You cannot hear God when your nervous system is in survival mode. Safety is the foundation for both healing and spiritual connection. Addiction and perfectionism are not failures — they are survival strategies. Shame keeps you stuck; self-compassion creates movement. You are not your past — you are the one observing it. Self-forgiveness is not optional — it is transformational. You can “borrow faith” until you build your own. Healing is where science meets the soul. Regulation creates reconnection — to yourself and to God. 🎁 The Gift of This Episode The gift of this episode is permission. Permission to stop punishing yourself. Permission to separate from the voice that has been keeping you small. Permission to understand that God was never absent — only harder to hear through the noise of survival. And most importantly: The understanding that healing doesn’t begin with God finding you — it begins with you feeling safe enough to receive Him. Who is Dr. Samantha Harte?

    S2. Ep. 3 w/ Dan "Big D" Sachkowsky

    From Rock Bottom to Kingdom Builder: Dan Sachkowsky on Discipline, Deliverance & Divine Direction In this powerful episode of EVOLVE thru God, Angela sits down with entrepreneur, speaker, and men’s mentor Dan Sachkowsky for a conversation that is raw, redemptive, and deeply practical. Dan’s story is not polished — it’s forged. From addiction, poor decisions, and spiritual drift… to radical ownership, faith alignment, and disciplined leadership — Dan shares what it truly takes to rebuild a life anchored in God. This is not a prosperity message. It’s a responsibility message. Dan breaks down how discipline became his bridge from chaos to calling. He speaks openly about masculine identity, accountability, integrity, fatherhood, and why so many men are spiritually asleep — not because they don’t love God, but because they lack structure. This conversation dives into: • The power of daily habits over emotional motivation • Deliverance through discipline • The difference between conviction and shame • Why men need brotherhood, not isolation • How business becomes ministry when aligned with obedience • Rebuilding trust after failure • The cost of lukewarm faith Dan’s transformation didn’t happen overnight. It happened through surrender, structure, and relentless pursuit of spiritual maturity. And that is what makes this episode so powerful. 💡 Lessons Learned Discipline is deliverance in action. Conviction leads forward — shame keeps you stuck. You cannot out-pray poor habits. Brotherhood is essential for masculine growth. Godly leadership starts at home. Your past mistakes do not cancel your future assignment. Structure protects your calling. Faith without obedience remains stagnant. 🎁 The Gift of This Episode The gift of this episode is clarity. Clarity that transformation isn’t emotional — it’s intentional. Clarity that men of God are built through accountability, not isolation. Clarity that your rock bottom might actually be your reset button. If you’ve been drifting, stuck, or spiritually inconsistent — this episode will challenge you and call you higher. _________________________________ WHO IS DAN SACHKOWSKY?   Dan “Big D” Sachkowsky is an entrepreneur, business mentor, and business strategist known for helping driven entrepreneurs break through plateaus and scale their companies to the next level.

    S2. Ep. 2 w/ Sara Dawn Birchmier

    From Addiction, Abuse, and Church Hurt to Purpose and Power — Sara Birchmier’s Redemption Story In this raw and redemptive episode of EVOLVE thru God, Angela Goodman sits down with trauma-informed coach and transformational mentor Sara Birchmier for a conversation that is as vulnerable as it is victorious. Sara’s story is not one of surface-level struggle. It’s a testimony forged through generational trauma, addiction, abuse, church betrayal, suicidal ideation, new age deception, and ultimately — radical restoration in Christ. Raised in a home marked by addiction and abuse, Sara encountered Jesus as a child — yet found herself spiraling into drugs, street life, toxic relationships, postpartum depression, and devastating church hurt. Even while walking with God, she endured unimaginable loss, betrayal, and identity fractures. But God never left. From IV meth addiction and suicidal despair to supernatural intervention, freedom from witchcraft and new age practices, and complete healing from diagnosed mental illness — Sara’s life is a living declaration of sanctification in motion. This episode dives deep into: Trauma and the nervous system Religious trauma and legalism Sanctification as neurological and spiritual rewiring Relationships as containers for healing Breaking generational iniquity Integrating truth, science, and the finished work of the cross Sara now walks fully free — off medication, out of addiction, emotionally regulated, spiritually aligned — helping others discover their purpose by healing their trauma through Christ-centered transformation. 💡 Lessons Learned Jesus will meet you in the darkest places — even drug houses. Sanctification is a process, not an overnight miracle. Healing requires humility and ownership. Your soul carries trauma — your spirit carries truth. Religious trauma can wound deeply, but it does not invalidate Christ. Relationships are containers designed to expose and refine what still needs healing. Between your test and your testimony is a choice. Idols must be removed before identity can be restored. You are not your diagnosis. Healing is both spiritual and neurological. 🎁 The Gift of This Episode The gift of this conversation is hope. Hope that no level of trauma disqualifies you. Hope that even when you are fractured, Jesus is near. Hope that mental illness, addiction, rage, shame, and generational bondage are not permanent identities. And perhaps most powerful of all: The reminder that your deepest wounds may become your clearest calling.

    S2. Ep. 1 w/ Dr. David Shapiro

    From Orthodox Judaism to Doctor of Theology: Dr. David Shapiro’s Radical Encounter with Jesus Season 2 of EVOLVE thru God opens with a powerful and deeply personal testimony from Dr. David Shapiro — a former Orthodox Jewish atheist, professional fighter, and military veteran whose life was radically transformed by a single moment of divine conviction. Born and raised in an Orthodox Jewish community in New York, David struggled with dyslexia, identity, and belonging from an early age. Feeling disconnected from faith, he rejected God altogether and spent years silencing internal pain through noise — fighting, extreme sports, and achievement. But everything changed the day he walked into a church for the first time. What followed was nothing short of miraculous: in one week, David — who struggled to read most of his life — read the entire Bible cover to cover and understood it. That encounter set him on a path that would lead to earning a Doctorate in Religious Education and dedicating his life to bridging apologetics, evangelism, and compassionate leadership. This conversation explores forgiveness, silence, identity, and the profound truth that God often stretches us before He restores us. 💡 Lessons Learned God meets us in conviction, not coercion. David’s journey began with a simple internal prompting: “Go to church.” Miracles aren’t always permanent — they’re purposeful. God healed David’s reading ability for one week — long enough to show him truth. Apologetics without empathy misses the mark. People often need a hug more than an argument. Forgiveness is an action, not an emotion. It begins with the decision: “I don’t want to feel this way anymore.” Silence reveals what noise was hiding. Between your test and your testimony is a moment of stillness. God stretches us before He gives us rest. Just like Moses, discomfort often precedes calling. 🎁 The Gift of This Episode A profound reminder that your greatest insecurity can become your greatest calling — and that silence with God is often the birthplace of transformation. If you are in a season of stretching, questioning, or identity rebuilding, this episode will anchor you in hope.   ____________________________________________________________________ WHO IS DR. DAVID SHAPIRO? Dr. David Shapiro grew up Orthodox Jewish, immersed in Scripture, discipline, and tradition. But faith built on performance eventually fractures. Dyslexia made reading Scripture slow and frustrating, yet it also forced David to wrestle deeply with the text rather than skim it. His journey to Jesus wasn’t a moment; it was a breaking. Through the Hebrew Scriptures and hard questions, he encountered Jesus not as a betrayal of his faith, but as its fulfillment. Today, David shares his story for those caught between belief and honesty, showing that surrender, not certainty is where real faith begins.

    Ep. 45 Life w/ Rodric Lenhart

    Life, Leadership, and Leaving the World Better Than You Found It — with Rodric Lenhart In this expansive and thought-provoking episode of EVOLVE thru God, Angela Goodman sits down with entrepreneur, author, coach, and philanthropist Rodric Lenhart for a deeply honest conversation about spirituality beyond religion, conscious leadership, and why awareness — not ideology — is the missing ingredient in today’s world. Rodric shares his journey from a fear-based religious upbringing to a faith rooted in curiosity, service, and lived experience. Drawing from philosophy, science, business, and spirituality, he and Angela explore the idea that we are spiritual beings having a temporary human experience — and that life itself is a classroom designed to teach us who we truly are. The conversation moves seamlessly from God and synchronicity to entrepreneurship, coaching, and the responsibility leaders have to create environments where people can grow. Rodric also shares the powerful story behind founding Send a Student Leader Abroad (SASLA) — a mission-driven foundation designed to teach young students entrepreneurial skills and global empathy by earning their way to international travel. This episode challenges listeners to stop outsourcing meaning, stop waiting for permission, and start living with intention, discernment, and action — both in business and in life. 💡 Lessons Learned Spirituality doesn’t require religion — God is found in awareness, stillness, and daily practice. There are no coincidences — people enter our lives to teach us something, if we’re paying attention. Leadership is stewardship — whether in business or education, creating space for growth matters. Awareness must be taught early — children need tools for self-knowledge, not just test-taking. Service doesn’t require writing a check — creativity and action can create massive impact. Surrender creates flow — letting go of control allows the right people and opportunities to enter. 🎁 The Gift of the Episode A powerful reminder that your purpose isn’t something you find — it’s something you remember. When you slow down, listen, and act in alignment, life begins to flow with clarity, connection, and meaning. ______________________________________________________________________ WHO IS RODRIC LENHART?

    Ep. 44 Guided w/ Jen Mentesana

    In this heartfelt episode of EVOLVE thru God, Angela Goodman welcomes author, speaker, and coach Jennifer Mentesana for a deeply authentic conversation about rediscovering purpose through faith, surrender, and divine redirection. Jennifer’s story is one of resilience and revelation. After years of success in media and business — and the heartbreaking loss of a restaurant during the pandemic — she found herself at a breaking point, waking in the night with a panic attack that became a spiritual awakening. In that still moment, God spoke: “You already know what to do.” That message reignited the creative spark within her — the performer, the communicator, the little girl who once dreamed of being on stage. Through that divine reminder, Jennifer was led back to her calling: helping others rediscover who they are, remember their God-given gifts, and follow the breadcrumbs toward purpose. From writing her book Guided by Grace to launching her podcast Where Passion Meets Purpose, Jennifer embodies what it means to surrender control, rebuild faith, and walk boldly in divine alignment. Lessons Learned: God speaks when we finally get still. Panic, loss, and silence often precede divine revelation. You already know the answer. God’s whispers are reminders of the truth you’ve buried beneath survival. Surrender is the doorway to provision. When you stop controlling outcomes, you make room for miracles. Your childhood dreams are clues, not coincidences. They’re glimpses of the purpose you came here to fulfill. Faith is a daily decision. It’s not about proof — it’s about trust, even when God seems quiet. The Gift of This Episode: A sacred reminder that God never forgets who you are — even when you do. When you follow the breadcrumbs He leaves, you’ll find your purpose waiting right where you left it. __________________________________________________________________ WHO IS JEN MENTESANA?

    Ep. 43 Mess"age" w/ Michelle Berman Mikel

    In this deeply moving episode of EVOLVE Thru God, Angela Goodman sits down with powerhouse entrepreneur, author, and speaker Michelle Berman-Mikel — a woman whose story of faith, surrender, and resilience reminds us that God often rewrites our lives in ways we could never plan. From walking away from a broken engagement just 80 days before her wedding to rediscovering her identity beyond athleticism and building a faith-filled business, Michelle’s journey is a testament to how God gives us a mess to reveal our message. She shares her transformation from an elite CrossFit athlete to a wife, mother, and spiritual leader alongside her husband, a retired Green Beret. Their story reveals how surrendering to divine redirection can bring healing, purpose, and deeper connection — not only in marriage but in business and calling. Michelle’s courage to speak God’s name boldly from the stage challenges all of us to live our faith out loud, even when the world says to quiet down. This episode will leave you inspired to trust the unseen, release what no longer serves you, and allow God to work miracles in the most unexpected places.   Lessons Learned: Surrender isn’t weakness — it’s alignment. Letting go of what you can’t control allows space for divine redirection. Faith must be lived, not just believed. Your actions, team, and environment should reflect your spiritual alignment. God’s “no” is protection, not rejection. The detours — even painful ones like loss or failure — often lead to deeper purpose. Partnership thrives through shared faith. When both partners surrender individually, they grow stronger together. Your voice carries divine power. God didn’t call you to whisper — He called you to witness.   The Gift of This Episode: A reminder that surrendering control doesn’t diminish your strength — it unlocks your purpose. When you walk by faith, God takes what was broken and turns it into beauty. ____________________________________________________________________ WHO IS MICHELLE BERMAN-MIKEL?   Michelle Berman-Mikel is a nationally recognized keynote speaker, Author of The Black Line, and the founder of Berman Media PD. As the creator of Beyond The Method™️, she teaches entrepreneurs and professionals how to understand the power of leverage to turn the social channels into a prospecting tool—focusing on utility over virality to generate real, scalable results. Known for helping mortgage and real estate professionals, as well as entrepreneurs alike, unlock the psychology behind connection, Michelle empowers professionals to build credibility, deepen relationships, and dominate their local markets without chasing fleeting metrics.
