Be Bold for Jesus Podcast

Be Bold For Jesus Ministries

What Does It Mean to Be Bold? A lot of people think boldness is for other people. The people who seem more confident. More qualified. More spiritual. More ready. But that’s not how God works. Throughout the Bible, God calls ordinary people to do extraordinary things. A shepherd boy became a king. A fisherman helped build the Church. A persecutor became a preacher. A carpenter’s son became the Savior of the world. Boldness is not about having no fear. It’s about saying yes to God even when fear is still present. The Be Bold For Jesus Podcast is here to highlight real people living that out every day. From pastors and ministry leaders to business owners and everyday believers, these are conversations that will challenge your faith, strengthen your walk, and remind you that God still uses ordinary people who are willing to obey. Because boldness doesn’t start on a stage. It starts with a yes. Will you say yes?

    Darin Patzer, Shine 104.9 | What is the story of Shine?

    How do you reach people with the Gospel in one of the most unchurched regions of the country? In this episode of the Be Bold For Jesus Podcast, we sit down with Darin Patzer, General Manager of Shine 104.9, to talk about the power of Christian radio, local ministry, and building unity across the Church. Darin shares the story of how Shine grew from a regional network station into an independent local ministry focused on Spokane, Coeur d'Alene, and the surrounding communities. What started as a radio station has become a platform for encouragement, discipleship, outreach, and connecting people with what God is doing throughout the Inland Northwest. We talk about why the Pacific Northwest is a unique mission field, how Christian media can impact people in their everyday lives, and the role worship music plays in shaping and strengthening faith. Darin also shares stories of lives being transformed, the heart behind Shine Fest, and how Shine works alongside churches and ministries instead of competing with them. Through local outreach projects, global missions initiatives, and daily encouragement over the airwaves, Shine's mission remains the same: helping people draw closer to Jesus and reflect His light to the world. Whether you're passionate about ministry, music, evangelism, or simply looking for encouragement in your faith, this conversation is packed with wisdom and practical insight on what it means to be a light in your community. ✝️ Be Bold For Jesus Conference ✝️ https://bebold4jesus.org/spokane/ ✌️ Stay Connected with Be Bold For Jesus ✌️ https://bebold4jesus.org Instagram: @bebold4jesusministries 📻 Learn More About Shine 104.9 📻 https://shine1049.org Instagram: @shine104.9 104.9 in CDA, ID 94.9 in Spokane, WA 91.7 in Sandpoint, ID 🏠 Sponsors 🏠 https://cogocapital.com https://patriotmobile.com/bb4j https://thesaviorbrand.com/?ref=bb4j 🎥 Chapters 🎥 (0:00) Introduction & Darin's Story (1:14) From Business to Ministry (2:31) The History of Shine 104.9 (3:22) The Pacific Northwest Mission Field (4:12) Partnering with Local Churches (5:18) The Power of Christian Radio (6:42) Becoming an Independent Station (8:38) How God Grew Shine (10:05) Why Local Ministry Matters (12:19) Stories of Life Change (14:10) From Darkness to Light (15:15) The Impact of Christian Music (16:17) Christian Artists & Humility (19:40) Staying True to the Mission (21:02) Shine's Core Values (22:29) Giving Back to the Community (23:47) Serving Locally & Globally (25:12) The Story of Shine Fest (27:32) A Gift to the Community (29:06) Powerful Testimonies (30:06) Jesus Changes Lives (31:26) Music, Discipleship & Growth (33:18) Anchored in Scripture (34:02) Abiding in Christ (35:09) Daily Time with God (36:44) What We Consume Shapes Us (38:22) How to Connect with Shine (39:28) Upcoming Events & Shine Fest (40:06) The Shine App (41:18) Be Bold For Jesus Conference (41:50) Closing Thoughts

    Patti Garibay, American Heritage Girls Founder | What does it mean to be a Girl?

    What does it really mean to raise a girl in today’s world—and how do you point her toward truth when culture is constantly pulling the other direction? In this episode of the Be Bold For Jesus Podcast, we sit down with Patti Garibay, founder of American Heritage Girls, to talk about identity, purpose, and what it looks like to raise the next generation of young women rooted in Christ. Patti shares her powerful testimony—from searching for truth to encountering Jesus in a life-changing way—and how that led her to step out in faith and start a movement that’s now impacting girls across the country. We dive into the heart behind American Heritage Girls, the difference between what culture says about girlhood versus what Scripture says, and why it’s more important than ever for young women to know who they are in Christ. Patti also shares practical encouragement for parents navigating hard conversations, the importance of discipleship at home, and why community plays such a key role in shaping strong, confident, faith-filled girls. This conversation is real, encouraging, and full of wisdom for anyone who cares about raising up the next generation with truth, clarity, and purpose. ✝️ Be Bold For Jesus Conference ✝️ https://bebold4jesus.org/spokane/ ✌️ Stay Connected with Be Bold For Jesus ✌️ https://bebold4jesus.org Instagram: @bebold4jesusministries 🇺🇸 Learn More About American Heritage Girls 🇺🇸 https://americanheritagegirls.org YT: ‪@AHGchannel‬ Instagram: @AHGfun Podcast: Raising Godly Girls 🏠 Sponsors 🏠 https://cogocapital.com https://thesaviorbrand.com/?ref=bb4j https://patriotmobile.com/bb4j 🎥 Chapters 🎥 (0:00) Introduction Meet Patti Garibay and the vision behind American Heritage Girls (0:31) Patti’s Story Her journey to faith and encountering Jesus personally (2:47) A Turning Point A life-changing moment that led to fully following God (4:15) The Birth of American Heritage Girls How a cultural shift led Patti to start something new (6:15) Taking a Stand Choosing to act instead of staying silent (7:43) From Small Start to National Movement What began with one group grew far beyond expectations (8:16) What Is Girlhood?

    Path of Life, Sheri Olsen, Executive Director and Co-Founder | What do I do about these feelings?

    What does it look like to walk out a journey of deep, gospel-centered healing and redemption? In this episode of the Be Bold For Jesus Podcast, we’re sitting down with Sherry Olson, the executive director and co-founder of Path of Life in Spokane, Washington. Sherry opens up and shares her powerful personal testimony—from her early career in the legal field to surrendering her heart to the Lord after carrying years of silent grief from past abortions. Out of her own restoration story, God birthed a beautiful calling to walk alongside others through post-abortion recovery. We dive deep into the unique, discipleship-focused mission of Path of Life, exploring how they navigate complex, real-world struggles like unwanted same-sex attraction and gender identity issues. Sherry shares why they completely reject "cookie-cutter" formulas, focusing instead on long-haul sanctification, face-to-face relationship building, and equipping parents to love and support their struggling children well. This conversation is a beautiful, encouraging reminder that true biblical community is about tackling the hardest topics together with transparency, grace, and an unwavering commitment to Christ. ✝️ Be Bold For Jesus Conference 2026 ✝️ https://bebold4jesus.org/spokane/ ✌️ Stay Connected with Be Bold For Jesus ✌️ https://bebold4jesus.org Instagram: @bebold4jesusministries 💡 Learn More & Support Path of Life 💡 https://pathoflifespokane.org Instagram: @pathoflifespokane 🏠 Our Sponsors 🏠 https://cogocapital.com https://securedinvestmentcorp.com https://patriotmobile.com/bb4j https://aphbuyshomes.com 🎥 Chapters 🎥 (0:00) Introduction – Meet Sherry Olson and the new Spokane Valley facility (1:14) From Commercial Law to Ministry – Sherry’s background and testimony (2:18) Finding True Healing – Moving past the silent grief of abortion (3:00) Developing a Grief Model – How the Path of Life resource was born (4:26) The Launch of Path of Life – Psalm 16:11 and the heart of the ministry (5:12) Four Core Areas of Service – Relationship resources and pregnancy services (6:29) Navigating Culture and the Church – A look at unwanted same-sex attraction (7:32) The Approach of Sanctification – Discipleship involving the whole person (9:46) Meeting People Where They Are – Moving beyond a "cookie-cutter" approach (11:16) Dennis Stratton’s Story – The profound impact of walking together (12:48) God Going Before Us – Launching online Zoom ministry before COVID (15:38) The Panicking Parent – Why we can't just "fix" someone (16:20) Parent Support Groups – Learning how to love and relate to your child (18:13) Partnering Across the Country – Leading online parenting cohorts (18:56) The Importance of Desire – Letting the client set the goal (19:42) Getting to the Root – Unpacking trauma and family systems (21:03) Moving Beyond the Quick Fix – Commitment to long-haul discipleship (23:06) Genesis 3 and the Blame Game – Taking issues to the Lord (24:09) Biblical Community & Family – Vulnerability and growing together

About

What Does It Mean to Be Bold? A lot of people think boldness is for other people. The people who seem more confident. More qualified. More spiritual. More ready. But that’s not how God works. Throughout the Bible, God calls ordinary people to do extraordinary things. A shepherd boy became a king. A fisherman helped build the Church. A persecutor became a preacher. A carpenter’s son became the Savior of the world. Boldness is not about having no fear. It’s about saying yes to God even when fear is still present. The Be Bold For Jesus Podcast is here to highlight real people living that out every day. From pastors and ministry leaders to business owners and everyday believers, these are conversations that will challenge your faith, strengthen your walk, and remind you that God still uses ordinary people who are willing to obey. Because boldness doesn’t start on a stage. It starts with a yes. Will you say yes?
