Real stories. Unshakable faith. Bold obedience. Welcome to The Kingdom Warrior Podcast, where faith isn't just something we believe—it's something we live. Hosted by Jared and Andrea Kugler, Kingdom Warrior is about raising up men and women who refuse to settle for a passive, lukewarm faith and are ready to step boldly into the life God has called them to live. Through raw conversations, powerful testimonies, and thought-provoking discussions, we explore what it really means to follow Jesus in a world that constantly challenges our faith, identity, and purpose. From overcoming trauma, shame, and adversity to discovering freedom in Christ, walking in obedience, strengthening relationships, and finding purpose in life's hardest seasons, no topic is off-limits. You'll hear from everyday people with extraordinary stories, faith-filled leaders, and individuals who have experienced the transforming power of God firsthand. These aren't just stories meant to inspire you. They're conversations meant to challenge you, strengthen your faith, and move you to action. Because being a Kingdom Warrior isn't about having a perfect past, knowing all the answers, or living a life without battles. It's about knowing whose you are, standing firm in truth, and having the courage to follow God—even when it's hard. It's time to stop sitting on the sidelines of your faith. Suit up. Stand firm. Live boldly. Welcome to Kingdom Warrior.

    Unapologetic Faith: Speaking Truth in a World That Wants You Silent with Melanie Cox

    What happens when following Jesus requires you to speak up in a world that would rather you stay silent? In this episode of the Kingdom Warrior Podcast, Andrea sits down with entrepreneur and author Melanie Cox for a powerful conversation about what it looks like to live—and lead—with unapologetic faith. Melanie shares her journey through personal struggles, seasons of chaos, and the trials that ultimately strengthened her relationship with God and changed the way she approaches business, leadership, and life. And she makes one thing very clear: God was never meant to be compartmentalized. Faith isn't something we practice on Sunday and leave behind when we walk into the office on Monday. If God is Lord of our lives, He belongs in our businesses, our decisions, our conversations, and our calling. Andrea and Melanie dive into the importance of speaking biblical truth even when it's uncomfortable, the incredible power of our words, intercessory prayer, and why knowing Scripture is essential when facing spiritual warfare. Because the enemy knows Scripture too. This conversation is a challenge to Christians who have become afraid to speak, afraid to offend, or afraid to bring their faith into the marketplace. We weren't called to blend in. We were called to stand firm. In this episode: ⚔️ Why faith and business should never be separated ⚔️ Having the courage to speak biblical truth ⚔️ The power of the words we speak over ourselves and others ⚔️ Turning personal struggles into strength through God's grace ⚔️ Prayer, intercession, and spiritual warfare ⚔️ Why Christians need to know the Word of God for themselves ⚔️ Standing firm when culture pressures you to stay silent ⚔️ Melanie's journey to writing You Have To Know If you've ever wrestled with how boldly you should live out your faith in your business, leadership, relationships, or everyday life, this conversation is for you. It's time to stop compartmentalizing your faith. Know the Word. Speak the truth. Stand firm. And refuse to be silent.

DeVante shares his journey from working in the restaurant industry to stepping into real estate, coaching, ministry, and entrepreneurship.
