    Episode 42 - Broken, Redeemed and Loved Unconditionally with Katie Kough (Part 2)

    In Part 2 of Katie Kough's powerful testimony, we pick up right after her escape from an abusive marriage and the terrifying discovery of an unexpected pregnancy. Katie shares how navigating single motherhood and overcoming a decade-long eating disorder pushed her to completely reinvent herself, leading her to absolutely crush it in the corporate sales world—climbing from the bottom of the dashboard to the second-highest producer in her company as a way to maintain control. But God was calling her to true surrender. Katie opens up about meeting Gerrad, the challenging transition of leaving the Catholic church for a grace-based relationship with Jesus, and the ultimate leap of faith: leaving her lucrative corporate career to answer the high calling of being a stay-at-home mom. Featured Resource: To help teach your little ones how to anchor their identity early on, check out Katie Kough's newly released children's book, Loved Unconditionally. It's a beautifully illustrated tool that teaches children that no matter the circumstances or mistakes they make, their true identity is safely rooted in Christ.

    Episode 42 - Broken, Redeemed and Loved Unconditionally with Katie Kough (Part 1)

    Welcome to Episode 42 of The Knock Podcast. Today, Bobby and Gerrad are joined by a very special guest—Gerrad's wife, Katie Kough. In Part 1 of this incredibly raw and vulnerable testimony, Katie pulls back the curtain on her journey from a tradition-heavy, works-based upbringing to a true, grace-based relationship with Jesus. She dives into the "drift" of her high school and college years, the reality of hiding a physically abusive marriage behind the "optics" of a good Christian life, and the pivotal night she finally found the courage to escape. If you've ever felt like your faith was just a checklist of religious duties, or if you find yourself trapped in a season where you don't know how to ask for help, this episode is a reminder that you don't have to walk through the fire alone. Featured Resource: To help teach your little ones how to anchor their identity in Christ early on, check out Katie Kough's newly released children's book, Loved Unconditionally.

    In Part 2 of this raw conversation, Bobby and Gerrad shift their focus from personal pruning to the heavy, intentional responsibility of parenting and family discipleship.

From navigating Matt Chandler's Family Discipleship to breaking down the critical difference between parenting out of fear versus leading with unconditional love, this episode is an urgent reminder for men to step up, set the culture, and align spiritually with their spouses.

    Episode 40 — Expect Miracles: Surviving a Heart Attack at 18 Hours Old | Edward Leber (Part 2)

    Welcome back to Part 2 of our conversation with Edward Leber where he opens up about the reality of living with a severe heart condition and how a medical disqualification from the military redirected his path into engineering and endurance sports. This journey eventually sparked an incredible mission to run a half or full marathon in all 50 states alongside his father. But the physical hurdles are only a fraction of the story. Edward details a terrifying recent medical emergency: surviving a 2.5-hour episode of Ventricular Tachycardia (V-Tach) while fully conscious—a literal medical anomaly. This led to a new type of ICD device being implanted under his sternum just months after the birth of his daughter. Together, we dive deep into the unseen "war between the ears," wrestling with God's plan, dismantling subtle idols of self-reliance, and why we must fight the enemy's tactic of isolation by boldly sharing our testimonies. If this story stirs something in you—pray on it. If you're searching for more—lean in. Because God is always knocking. The question is: will you answer?

    Episode 40 — Expect Miracles: Surviving a Heart Attack at 18 Hours Old | Edward Leber (Part 1)

    Welcome back to The Knock Podcast. In Part 1 of this incredible testimony, Bobby and Gerrad sit down with a member of their own church home team, Edward Leber. Edward shares a story that completely defies medical logic, beginning with a heart attack at just 18 hours old. After being care-flighted to Dallas Children's Hospital and spending six weeks in the ICU, Edward was greenlit for a heart transplant. However, after contracting spinal meningitis, he was deemed too unhealthy to receive the new heart. In an amazing turn of events, his failing heart built its own "collaterals"—additional veins or arteries—to bypass the blockage, allowing him to heal and eventually go home without a single surgery. Beyond the medical anomaly, the guys dive deep into the emotional weight of medical anxiety, the power of his family's faithful mantra to "expect miracles," and the profound difference between shaking your fist at God to ask "why" versus rejoicing in the positive "why" of His blessings. This episode is a powerful reminder that while we may face physical limitations, God equips us to do exactly what we were created to do. If this story stirs something in you—pray on it. If you're searching for more—lean in. Because God is always knocking. The question is: will you answer?

    Episode 39 - The Myth of the "Perfect Christian" & The Battle for Purity | Brandon Johnson (Part 2)

    After surviving a chaotic childhood and fighting a fierce battle for purity, Brandon Johnson faced a completely different kind of crucible: a heartbreaking valley that tested his faith to its absolute core. In Part 2 of this incredibly transparent interview, 2Rivers Associate Pastor Brandon Johnson continues his conversation with Bobby and Gerrad to discuss what happens when life completely falls apart and God's answer isn't the earthly miracle you desperately prayed for. Brandon opens up with raw vulnerability about the sudden loss of his sister to stage 4 cancer, the crushing weight of regret, and how easily grief can drive us toward unhealthy coping mechanisms. He breaks down the dangerous reality of spiritual isolation, the radical shift in perspective that allowed him to finally forgive his biological dad, and what it looks like to trust God's sovereignty when you're standing in the middle of the pain. Plus, Brandon explains why "preaching the gospel to yourself daily" is an absolute necessity for every believer to guard against legalism and remember their true identity. If this story stirs something in you—pray on it. If you're searching for more—lean in. Because God is always knocking. The question is: will you answer?

    Episode 39 - The Myth of the "Perfect Christian" & The Battle for Purity | Brandon Johnson (Part 1)

    Growing up in a household plagued by addiction and domestic violence, Brandon Johnson realized early on that a "Christian family" label means nothing if the home is fundamentally broken. But instead of driving him away from faith, that dysfunction pushed him directly into the arms of God. In Part 1 of this incredibly transparent interview, 2Rivers Associate Pastor Brandon Johnson sits down with Bobby and Gerrad to dismantle the "country club" mentality of the modern church. Brandon shares his powerful journey from a teenager running toward God to entering full-time ministry, while openly discussing his darkest hidden struggle: a fierce, multi-year battle with lust and sexual temptation. He breaks down the "dead raccoon" analogy of hidden sin, the vast difference between instant deliverance and the grueling process of progressive healing, and why setting radical guardrails is the ultimate form of love and marital protection. If this story stirs something in you—pray on it.  If you're searching for more—lean in. Because God is always knocking.  The question is: will you answer?
