    Episode 9: When Plans Fall Apart

    Sometimes life just doesn’t go according to plan. The door closes, the opportunity falls through, or the future we pictured suddenly looks completely different. In this Episode, we talk about what it looks like to navigate those moments with faith. Instead of immediately reacting out of frustration, disappointment, or fear, how can we slow down, respond well, and trust that God is still at work? We dive into the difference between reacting and responding, learning to surrender our plans, and trusting that a setback might actually be God’s way of redirecting us toward something better. Just because things aren’t going according to our plan doesn’t mean they aren’t going according to His. When the plan falls apart, the purpose doesn’t.

    Episode 8: When Life Feels Like Too Much

    Feeling overwhelmed? You're not alone. Life has a way of piling on responsibilities, expectations, and uncertainty until it feels like we're carrying more than we were ever meant to. In this episode, we talk about what to do when life feels heavy and how God invites us to respond differently than the world does. We discuss the power of surrendering what's outside of our control, choosing gratitude even in difficult seasons, slowing down to take a deep breath, and remembering that God is present in the middle of our stress, not just after it ends. If you've been anxious, exhausted, or simply overwhelmed by everything on your plate, we hope this conversation reminds you that you don't have to carry it all on your own. Take a deep breath. God is with you. Let's keep moving.

    Bonus Episode: The Thing We Keep Skipping (Rest)

    In this bonus episode, we explore the practice of sabbathing—what it means to truly rest, reset, and step back from the constant pressure of daily life. In a culture that glorifies busyness, we unpack why intentional rest isn’t laziness, but a necessary rhythm for clarity, health, and spiritual grounding. We talk about what sabbath can look like in real life, how to actually implement it without guilt, and why slowing down might be one of the most powerful things you can do for your faith, relationships, and mental well-being. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, distracted, or just running on empty, this one’s for you.

    Episode 7: God's Timing > My Timeline

    Why is waiting so hard? Whether it's a job opportunity, a relationship, a calling, or an answered prayer, most of us have experienced the frustration of feeling stuck while God seems silent. In this episode of Made For More, we dive into one of the most challenging parts of faith: trusting God's timing when it doesn't match our own. We talk about the temptation to force doors open, the struggle of surrendering our plans, and the reality that God often does some of His deepest work in seasons of waiting. Through personal stories and biblical truth, we explore how God uses delays to build faith, character, dependence, and trust. If you've ever found yourself asking:• "Why isn't this happening yet?"• "Did I miss God's plan?"• "How do I trust God when life isn't going the way I expected?" ...this episode is for you. God's timing may not be comfortable, but it's always intentional.

    Episode 6: How to Hear God’s Voice

    How do you actually hear from God? And how do you know it’s really Him? In this episode of Made For More, we talk about what hearing God actually looks like in everyday life — from Scripture and prayer to peace, conviction, and the quiet nudges of the Holy Spirit. We also break down the biggest things that keep us from hearing Him clearly: distraction, noise, fear, other voices, and even our own resistance. If you’ve ever wondered:• “Is this God or just my thoughts?”• “Why does God feel silent?”• “How do I know His direction for my life?” …this episode is for you. The goal isn’t perfection — it’s relationship. God still speaks, and learning to hear His voice starts with getting close to Him.

    Episode 5: God… What’s Next?

    Have you ever found yourself asking, “God… what’s next?” and felt like you got no answer? In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to trust God when life feels slow, uncertain, or even stuck. We’ve both had moments where we’re ready for the next step, but God keeps pointing us back to growth in the season we’re already in. We dive into gratitude when life isn’t where we want it to be, growth through struggle, and the tension between wanting clarity and learning patience. We also talk through how to discern whether God is calling you to move or stay and be refined. If you’ve been feeling restless or unsure of your next step, this is for you. Because sometimes God’s “next” isn’t a change… it’s growth right now.

    Episode 4: Stop Searching for Your Purpose... You Already Know It

    Most people are stressed trying to find their purpose… but what if Jesus already made it clear? In this episode, Jake and Isaiah unpack the truth that purpose isn’t hidden — it’s simple, daily, and already defined: love God and love people. Before God reveals what you’re called to do, He shapes who you’re called to be. If you’ve been chasing clarity, waiting for direction, or feeling behind in life, this conversation will reset your perspective and free you from the pressure of “figuring it all out.” You don’t need a platform. You don’t need a perfect plan. You just need obedience.

    Episode 3: What Does it Look Like to Put God First?

    Made For More is all about pursuing purpose through faith—and in this episode, we’re diving into a question that sounds simple, but hits deep: what does it actually mean to put God first? We all say God is a priority—but does our life reflect it? In this episode, Jake and Isaiah have an honest, real conversation about the gap between intention and action, and why it’s so easy to push God to the margins without even realizing it. This isn’t about religion or perfection—it’s about alignment, surrender, and what it looks like to live for God right now, not “someday.” If you’ve ever felt stuck, distracted, or like you’ll prioritize your faith later when life slows down, this episode will challenge your perspective and refocus what matters most.

    Episode 2: What's Really Holding You Back?

    In Episode 2 of the Made For More Podcast, Isaiah and Jake explore the tension between knowing you’re called to more and actually stepping into it. With honesty, humor, and real-life examples, they unpack why it’s so easy to stay stuck—even when you feel like God is calling you forward. This episode leans into the real, everyday struggles that can quietly hold you back—fear, comfort, overthinking, and distraction—and brings them into the light. Isaiah and Jake don’t come as experts, but as people walking through it too, inviting you into a conversation about what it looks like to trust God in the middle of uncertainty and take that next step. The focus isn’t on having everything figured out—it’s on becoming aware of what’s holding you back so you can actually move forward. Even if it's slow. Even if it’s uncomfortable. Even if it’s just one step. Because at the end of the day, your calling isn’t found in standing still—it’s found in moving. This episode is for you if you know you’re made for more, but feel stuck where you are—and you’re ready to take a step forward, one step at a time.
