    Pt 1 | Could One Question to the Holy Spirit Change Everything? (feat. Scott Ingegneri)

    He's been saying "Good morning, Holy Spirit" every single day since second grade. And the way he sees people because of it will make you want to do the same.  Scott Ingegneri is a pastor, author, songwriter, dad of four, and CEO of ACT International — a missions organization that supports over 500 creative and innovative ministries around the world. But the story that sets the tone for everything he does goes all the way back to a soccer field, a kid named Eddie, and a question his parents asked that changed his relationship with the Holy Spirit forever.  In part one of this conversation, Scott talks about what it means to stay curious about people instead of writing them off, why asking the Holy Spirit for perspective before you react might be the most practical spiritual discipline there is, and what it looks like to do that not just with strangers but with the people closest to you — your kids, your spouse, the relationships where you think you already know the whole story.  We also get into what Scott calls releasing the dreamers — the conviction that God placed something creative and purposeful inside every person, and that fear is the primary thing keeping most people from ever finding out what it is. If you've been afraid to dream, or if you've quietly stopped, this conversation is going to stir something back up.

    Pt 2 | What is the Next Step When Everything Feels Uncertain? (feat. Ashlee Assadi)

    She couldn't pray for the outcome. She couldn't see what was coming. All she could do was take the next right step — and trust that the years of faithfulness in the secret place would hold.  Part two with Ashlee Assadi is one of those conversations that stays with you. Ashlee opens with what the Lord has been placing on her heart — the conviction that He will use everything developed in the secret place. The quiet mornings. The prayers over sleeping children. The worship music playing in the background when nobody is watching. She then shares one of the most honest and vulnerable parts of her story — walking through her husband Armin's mental health crisis while postpartum, not knowing what the days ahead would hold, and learning in the most personal way possible what it means to fight for someone in prayer when that's the only weapon you have. We also hear a glimpse of Armin's remarkable journey from Iran, and the mission that story has led them to now.  When everything feels uncertain, the next right step is enough. This episode is a beautiful reminder of that.  Join us online! 🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com  💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith  💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaith Wherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

    Could Your Yes Be the Beginning of the Next Miracle? (feat. Yegor Hambaryan)

    What if saying yes to God — even when it costs you everything — is actually the safest place you can be? Today we're joined by Yegor Hambaryan, a friend of the podcast who has lived more adventures with Jesus in one lifetime than most of us could imagine. Yegor grew up in Armenia, came to faith as a young boy at a summer camp, lost both of his parents as a teenager, and went on to spend years as a missionary across Europe. Most recently, he walked away from a successful tech sales career to become a student in New York — trusting God to handle the rest.  Yegor talks about what it looks like to be like a tree planted by a stream — not immune to hard seasons, but rooted deeply enough that the hard seasons don't change what you look like from the outside. He talks about the power of a grateful heart, why complainers never get things done, and why sharing the miracles God gives you is the very thing that opens the door to receiving more of them. If God is calling you to something that comes with a real cost right now, this one is for you.

    2026 Q2 Recap!

    Some conversations are worth revisiting — and this quarter gave us a lot of them. In this special recap episode, we're pulling together some of our favorite moments from the last few months of guests and conversations. Think of it as a highlight reel of the best things we heard, said, and sat with — and an invitation to go back and listen to the full episodes if you missed them. We revisit Rachel Bailey on the lies we believe and why there's no shame in having believed them. Noah Egeberg on obedience — and the surprising truth that the first fruit of saying yes to God isn't the outcome, it's intimacy with Him. Tori Benham on the power of agreement and why what we come into agreement with shapes everything about how we live. Thann Bennett on why God's invitations are always more about relationship than results. Ben Cooley on sitting with your kids in the hard stuff instead of rushing to fix it. And one more gem from Ben on culture — whether you're setting it or it's setting you.  If something jumps out at you, go back and listen to the full conversation. There's more where that came from.

    Pt 2 | Healing Is a Process, Not a Moment (feat. Dean Goossen)

    What if the reason your relationships feel unfulfilling has less to do with the people in them — and more to do with what you've been expecting them to fix? Dean Goossen is back for part two! Counselor, friend of the podcast, and father of eight – Dean walks us through one of the most honest and clarifying frameworks we've heard for understanding why we do what we do in relationships — starting with the image of a heart full of holes, where love gets poured in and leaks right back out before it can do any good.  We talk about what it looks like to react from old wounds without even realizing it, why fear is so often at the root of our relational struggles, and what it actually takes to begin healing — not just managing. And then we get into unspoken expectations, which might be the most quietly destructive force in any relationship. The things we assume the other person already knows. The needs we never voice. The conflict that builds up not because anyone did anything wrong, but because nobody said what they actually needed.  Dean closes with something so simple and so hard most of us never actually do it. Just slow down. Be still. And see what comes to the surface when you stop running from it.  Join us online! 🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com  💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith  💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaith Wherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

    Pt 1 | Real Relationships Start With Real Belief (feat. Dean Goossen)

    What you believe is what you belong to. And that changes everything about your relationships. That's the idea at the center of this conversation with Dean Goossen — counselor, friend of the podcast, and father of eight. Dean has spent years sitting with people in their hardest moments, and what he keeps coming back to is this: most of our relational struggles aren't really about the other person. They're about the island we're living on inside.  In this episode, Dean walks us through a deceptively simple framework for understanding why we do what we do in relationships — why we use people as rungs on a ladder, why encouragement doesn't always land, and why achieving everything we thought we wanted can still leave us feeling anxious, depressed, and unsatisfied.  The answer, he says, always comes back to belief. What have you come into agreement with? And is it actually true?

    Pt 2 | Faith That's Lived, Not Just Believed (feat. Kay Hiramine)

    Some of the most convincing arguments for faith aren't sermons. They're the ordinary moments where God shows up exactly when He's needed. In part two of our conversation with Kay Hiramine, we get more of the stories that have shaped his decades of walking with the Lord — moments of provision, healing, and community that defy easy explanation. Kay reflects on what real hospitality looks like, the daily and nightly rhythms that have kept his marriage strong for nearly four decades, and a story of answered prayer that still leaves him in awe. We talk about what it means to pursue community on purpose, why shared meals matter more than we tend to give them credit for, and what it looks like to step out in obedience even when it feels a little foolish.  This episode is a powerful reminder that faith was never meant to stay theoretical. It's meant to be lived, tested, and trusted.

    Pt 1 | An Unbelievable Testimony of God’s Pursuit (feat. Kay Hiramine)

    A Buddhist teenager, a secular leadership conference, and a moment that changed everything — this testimony is one you have to hear to believe. Today we're joined by Kay Hiramine, a man who has spent his life weaving relationships across more than 120 countries, and who carries one of the most remarkable testimonies we've ever heard on this podcast. Kay grew up in a Buddhist home in Southern California, the son of Japanese immigrants, practicing ancestral worship and feeling completely empty inside despite his outward success. By high school he was reading Nietzsche and Camus, sliding into narcissism, and dying on the inside while looking like he had it all together.  Then, at a totally secular leadership conference, something happened that none of the 13 teenagers in that small group cabin could explain. A presence. A voice. A light. And Kay walked out of that room a changed person, even though he didn't yet know the name of who he'd encountered.  What follows is a story of searching, heckling a Volkswagen-mechanic-turned-pastor who refused to give up on him, a Gideons Bible bought for a dollar, and a father who threatened him with a knife rather than let him become a Christian. It's raw, it's honest, and it's one of those stories that reminds you just how far God will go to bring someone home.
