    "There's So Much More to God" | Trosper Buchanan | Ep. 28

    Trosper's Instagram (@trosperbuchanan): https://www.instagram.com/trosperbuchanan/ Trosper's X (@trosperbuchanan): https://x.com/trosperbuchanan Intro song: "More Than Enough" by Ryan Ellis, Lee Vasi Outro song: "More of You" by Jaxamilli, Ketsia Banza Summary Most Christians are leaving breakthrough on the table because they treat God like He’s limited. Trosper Buchanan shares the radical shift that changed everything—from fear of man and identity confusion to a life marked by bold obedience, answered prayer, and real spiritual power. As an assistant football coach at the University of Kentucky, Trosper traces his story from an early childhood faith to a high school season of double life, depression, and a crushing identity crisis. The turning point comes when a biology class question about human extinction forces him to confront purpose, meaning, and the reality that he was made for something far bigger than popularity, performance, or approval. From there, he opens up about what changed when he stopped compartmentalizing faith and started surrendering everything—relationships, future plans, prayer, career, and even his words. He shares how a small college ministry grew from 8 students to roughly 300, how prayer helped shape the UniteUs event at Rupp Arena, and why a 40-mile Jericho walk became one of the boldest acts of faith he’s ever seen. You'll discover: - Why “college is for ministry” changes the way you think about school, work, and your future - How Mark 10 reframes surrender as multiplication, not loss - What it looks like to pray with honesty instead of trying to control outcomes - Why evangelism is not optional, and why awkward obedience often opens the biggest doors A major part of the conversation centers on identity—the difference between living for man’s approval and living as God’s chosen possession. Trosper also shares a gripping testimony from Auburn, where a casual encounter with a heartbroken student led to an hour-long gospel conversation, a follow-up discipleship journey, and a baptism trip from Maryland to Kentucky. This episode is for anyone who feels stuck between wanting to follow Jesus and still holding tightly to control. If you’ve ever wondered whether God really sees you, speaks to you, or can use your ordinary life in extraordinary ways, this conversation will challenge you, encourage you, and call you to stop playing small.

    We Imperfectly Serve a Perfect God | Samuel Harness | Ep. 27

    Samuel Harness' Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4IurroJbsfB9oj5HsJ6k9P?si=arZpvgNVRwuFyyAlkNb8Dg All of Samuel's music is streaming everywhere! Samuel's linktree: https://linktr.ee/SamuelHarness Intro: "God i need you" by Samuel Harness Outro: "RIP" by Samuel Harness Summary What if your anxiety, depression, and even your worst seasons weren’t disqualifying you - but positioning you to help someone else survive theirs? Samuel opens up about the moment everything changed, how fatherhood forced him to confront his life, and how his relationship with God became a constant conversation instead of a Sunday-only routine. A raw, honest, and deeply personal conversation about faith without performance, healing without pretending, and what it really means to follow Jesus when you still struggle with pride, addiction, insecurity, and fear. Samuel shares how becoming a father reshaped his view of God’s love, why he refuses to “play the game” of looking polished, and how authenticity became one of the most powerful parts of his testimony. This interview also presses into the hard questions - pride, judgment, motive, and what a “before and after” life with God actually looks like when the struggle is still real. The conversation gets especially powerful as Samuel shares two recent moments that made God’s orchestration feel impossible to ignore: one in a hotel lobby with a stranger searching for God, and another in the middle of disturbing dreams that ultimately exposed something deeper about unforgiveness and self-condemnation. If you’ve ever felt stuck between faith and mess, called and conflicted, or tired of pretending you have it all together, this episode is for you. It’s honest, encouraging, and full of the kind of testimony that reminds you God is still working in the middle of the chaos.

    God Rescues us from our Deepest Pit | Adam Thompson | Ep. 26

    Mentioned Books "Surprised by Joy" by C.S. Lewis "Out of the Shadows: Understanding Sexual Addiction" by Patrick Carnes, Ph.D. "Not the Way It's Supposed to Be: A Breviary of Sin" by Cornelius Plantinga, Jr. "God Loves Sex: An Honest Conversation about Sexual Desire and Holiness" by Dan Allender and Tremper Longman III "The Incarnation of God: The Mystery of the Gospel as the Foundation of Evangelical Theology" by John C. Clark and Marcus Peter Johnson Intro song: "Only You" by Nofsky, Sydni Alexander Outro song: "King of Kings" by JXYD3N, Jx.Zero Summary Loneliness, worthlessness, and boredom can drive a person into hidden bondage, but grace can break the cycle. Adam shares the raw story of how a lifelong quest for joy, beauty, and transcendence eventually exposed the idols and addictions that were shaping his life. Raised in a Christian home, Adam thought he understood faith, but beneath the surface he was wrestling with shame, secrecy, and a desperate search for something bigger than this world. What begins with childhood wonder over Pokemon, X-Men, and The Lord of the Rings turns into a hard look at desire, idolatry, confession, and the long road back to God. You’ll hear how C. S. Lewis’ "Surprised by Joy" gave Adam language for an ache he had felt since childhood, why friendship and honesty became turning points in his freedom, and how books like "Out of the Shadows", "God Loves Sex", and "The Incarnation of God" reshaped his understanding of sin, sex, embodiment, and the incarnation of Christ. He also explains why Psalm 16:7-11 became a summary of his whole life: not just rescue from darkness, but the discovery that in God’s presence is fullness of joy. Adam also reflects on what helped him move forward: community, confession, silence, solitude, and learning to live with purpose instead of distraction. If you’re fighting hidden sin, questioning your hunger for meaning, or wondering whether your desires point to something deeper, this conversation offers both honesty and hope. Adam is a former Moody Bible Institute student and Chicago doorman turned maintenance worker who speaks candidly about addiction, theological formation, and the slow work of spiritual transformation. His story is a powerful reminder that the things we chase for joy often become signposts pointing us to Christ. Perfect for anyone who wants a deeply honest testimony about addiction, masculinity, friendship, and finding lasting joy in Jesus Christ.

    College Thrower Lays Life Down for Jesus | Alexander Hernandez | Ep. 23

    Alex's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/xanderthrows60/ Intro Song: "Lift You Higher" by Kai Uriah Outro Song: "Lifter Of My Head" by Dell Mac Summary Lukewarm faith looks harmless until it quietly takes over your life. Alexander Hernandez shares the wake-up call that pulled him out of partying, sexual sin, and track-obsessed self-reliance into a real, daily walk with Jesus. Raised in a Christian home and educated in Christian school his entire life, Alex still drifted into a college lifestyle that felt normal on the surface but left him spiritually numb. When his track journey took him from Phoenix to Grand Rapids, Michigan, God used an unlikely chain of relationships, a Christian athlete community, and a hard conversation with a mentor to expose what Alex had been justifying for years. You’ll hear how Athletes InterVarsity, community, and accountability changed everything, and why the question is not just “Is this a sin?” but “Does this glorify God?” Alex also opens up about: - the moment he realized Jesus was being treated as Savior, but not Lord - how his relationship with his girlfriend changed when both of them chose Christ first - why he gave away a collection worth about $5,000 - the struggle to cut off social media, distraction, and other idols - how prayer became a daily practice instead of a routine This episode goes beyond testimony and gets real about conviction, surrender, and the cost of following Christ in a world that keeps offering easier distractions. If you’ve ever wondered whether being “around church” is the same as truly following Jesus, this conversation will hit home. Perfect for anyone wrestling with compromise, distraction, or a faith that feels more inherited than lived. Alex’s story is a reminder that Jesus does not just save, He satisfies.
