    The Myth of Bouncing Back w/ Charaia Rush

    In this episode, I had the joy of sitting down with Charaia Rush, a writer and speaker based in Colorado and the author of Courageously Soft and her newest book, The Myth of Bouncing Back. Charaia carries such a rare and needed voice for this generation. She speaks with tenderness, grit, honesty, and deep spiritual wisdom for those of us who are learning how to stay soft without pretending life has not been hard. In this conversation, we unpack the lies we often believe about resilience, especially the idea that strength means quickly getting over what hurt us. Charaia speaks so beautifully to the slow, sacred work of grief and the importance of lament as part of healing. We talk about what it means to bring our honest sorrow before God, how to stop rushing our own recovery, and why true resilience is not pretending we are fine, but allowing God to meet us in the places where we are most undone. In her newest book, The Myth of Bouncing Back, Charaia offers a much-needed reframe around resilience. Instead of treating resilience like the ability to snap back into who we were before the heartbreak, before the failure, before the grief, before the loss, she invites us to consider something far more honest and far more holy: maybe healing is not about bouncing back at all. Maybe it is about learning how to rise for real. Her book walks readers through the process of lamenting, learning to stand again, rebuilding a beautiful life, and discovering who we are becoming on the other side of life’s hardest falls.  I pray this conversation gives you permission to stop rushing your process, to bring your lament honestly before God, and to believe that even here, even now, even slowly, you can rise again.

    Friendship That Comforts, Calls Out, and Carries w/ Ebie + Anjel

    My best friend, who is sunshine embodied, Anjel Murphy flips the script and takes the host seat in today’s episode, and what unfolds is less of an interview and more of an honest, unfiltered conversation between two friends who have walked through a lottttt of life together. As you can probably imagine, we don’t stay on one straight path for long. But somewhere in the middle of it all, we find ourselves unpacking the sacred, stretching, and sometimes messy beauty of friendship. From the fine line between deep love and co-dependency, to what it looks like to call each other higher and disagree.   There’s something profoundly holy about having people in your life who won’t just sit beside you in your pain, but who will lovingly, faithfully lower you into the presence of the Lord when you don’t have the strength to get there on your own. This episode is a little bit everywhere… but also exactly where it needed to go. And truly, it wouldn’t be a conversation between Anjel and I if it wasn’t. ;)  A Gentle Reminder: This podcast is rooted in real, human conversations -- captured in a moment in time. The thoughts shared here are not meant to be prescriptive or absolute, but an invitation to explore, reflect, and engage more deeply in your own relationship with God. We’re so grateful you’re here.

    Digging Wells With God

    How do you sit down with the Hepworth’s to talk about prayer without quoting Tim Keller every five minutes? Apparently, you don’t. LOL Sorry, not sorry!  In this episode, Zac and I open up a deeply honest, unpolished conversation about prayer. Not as a formula to master, but as a relationship to return to, again, and again, and again. We explore the beauty and purity of prayer when it’s stripped of performance and pressure, and rediscovered as an ongoing, living conversation with God. This episode is an invitation… not to pray perfectly, but to pray honestly. To come back to Scripture as a steady anchor. To remember that even in silence, even in fatigue, even in unmet longing… God is still near, still listening, still inviting us to converse with Him.  A Gentle Reminder:This podcast is rooted in real, human conversations -- captured in a moment in time. The thoughts shared here are not meant to be prescriptive or absolute, but an invitation to explore, reflect, and engage more deeply in your own relationship with God. We’re so grateful you’re here.

    You Are More Creative Than You Think w/ Charis Meyers

    Today I’m joined by my friend Charis Meyers, a Boise-based graphic designer, artist, and all-around beautiful human, who opens up about her journey of embracing her inner artist and the freedom that has come with it. We talk about the quiet but powerful truth that creativity isn’t reserved for a select few… it’s woven into every single one of us. And when we ignore it, we often feel it. When we suppress it, something in us starts to dim. But when we give it expression, even in small ways, something comes alive again. If you’ve ever thought “I’m not creative,” this episode is especially for you. And if you’re local to Boise and in need of graphic design support, Charis is incredibly gifted at what she does.

    A Life That Keeps Saying Yes w/ Pastor Stephen George

    This week on the Let Me Ask You This podcast, we’re joined by Pastor Stephen, a man whose life feels like a quiet, burning “yes” to God. Pastor Stephen is the father of one of my dear friends, Shifa, who you heard on the podcast just a few weeks ago (you can listen to her episode here!) Getting to sit down with her dad felt like stepping into a deeper layer of her story and into a legacy of faith that has been lived out over decades. Born and raised in India, Pastor Stephen’s life has been marked by deep devotion and unwavering obedience. From the very beginning, his story has been anchored in one pursuit: to know Jesus and to make Him known. And that pursuit has taken him across the nations, traveling the world, proclaiming the gospel, and serving people in places many of us may never go. But what makes this conversation so powerful isn’t just where he’s been… it’s how he’s lived. There is a humility to his story. A hiddenness. A kind of faith that doesn’t strive to be seen, yet has quietly impacted countless lives. As he shares his journey—from his early years in India to the many places God has sent him, you’ll hear the weight and beauty of a life fully surrendered. In this episode, we talk about what it really means to live devoted to God. The cost of saying yes. The beauty of obedience. And the kind of faith that carries you across continents without ever needing a spotlight. If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to give your whole life to the gospel… this conversation will stir something deep in you.

    The Language of Living Scipture w/ Benjiman Olsen

    On this week’s episode of The Let Me Ask You This, we have our friend ⁠Benjiman Olsen.⁠ Benji is a pastor at our local church and carries such a beautiful, unique ability to invite people into Scripture. Not just to read it, but to truly experience it. In this episode, we unpack how we actually engage with Scripture. Not as a task to complete, but as a living, breathing conversation with God. Benji gently challenges the way many of us have been taught to read the Bible and opens up a more relational, Spirit-led way of encountering it. We talk about slowing down, asking questions, noticing what God is highlighting, and learning to approach the Word with curiosity and context instead of pressure and pretense.  In the episode Benji mentions some incredible resources, which are linked below: ⁠Bible Project: The Gospel⁠ ⁠Bible Project: What is the Bible?⁠ ⁠Bible Project: The Story of the Bible⁠

    Raising Kids (and Our Own Hearts) in a Sexually Broken World w/ Laurie Krieg

    You guys… this conversation lit me up. The minute Laurie Krieg and I started talking, I thought, ohhh man, buckle up. This girl can preachhhhh!!!!! Laurie Krieg is the author of Raising Kids in a Sexually Broken World and the host of a podcast centered around sexual integrity, identity, and walking in the freedom of Jesus. She carries both truth and tenderness in a way that is so needed right now. In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to raise kids in a world that is constantly forming their understanding of sexuality, but also how we, as parents, are being formed too. This isn’t just about behavior modification or “getting it right”… it’s about allowing our own hearts to be shaped and softened, bent toward the ways of God rather than the ways of the world. We talk practicals, yes—but even more than that, we talk posture. How do we lead with both conviction and compassion? How do we create homes where truth and grace aren’t at odds? Laurie brings so much wisdom, clarity, and Spirit-led perspective to this conversation, and I know it’s going to equip you and encourage you in the most beautiful way. And truly—if this conversation resonates, go check out Laurie’s podcast and all of the incredible resources available on her website (INCLUDING THIS AMAZING COURSE WE MENTION IN THE EPISODE) . She is creating such rich, needed content in this space. Pull up a chair for this one 🤍

    The Ongoing Work of Marriage w/ Ebie + Zac

    In this week’s episode on Let Me Ask You This, Zac joins me for a rapid-fire conversation answering marriage questions you all sent in over Instagram. We talk honestly about what we are still learning after more than a decade married and how marriage is less like a finished structure and more like a living thing that keeps evolving, stretching, and maturing over time. We unpack the importance of your individual pursuit of Jesus, the way you honor one another, and the way you lay your life down for your spouse quietly shapes the atmosphere your family grows up inside of.  We did not get to answer even a fraction of the questions we received, so please let us know if you would like a part II to this episode!
