    BE Good News: How to facilitate deeper conversations (Feat. Ortinel G)

    What does it actually look like to be the Gospel in everyday life? In the first episode of our new series, BE Good News, Caleb S. Davis is joined by Australian rapper and writer Ortinel G to explore how meaningful, faith-filled conversations can become a practical form of ministry—no stage, title, or church affiliation required. Too often, the Gospel is reduced to something we believe, defend, or debate. But what if the Gospel is not just something we believe in… but something we become? Together, Caleb and Ortinel unpack how to move beyond surface-level interactions and begin facilitating deeper conversations about faith, purpose, doubt, love, and transformation in everyday spaces—from coffee shops to comment sections. Whether you feel disconnected from church, unsure how to talk about your beliefs, or simply want to love people more intentionally, this conversation offers practical insight on how to: • Create safe spaces for honest spiritual dialogue• Ask better questions that invite reflection instead of argument• Navigate disagreement with humility and empathy• Recognize everyday opportunities to minister through conversation No matter where you live, who you know, or whether you’re part of a church community, you can be the Church.You can be the Good News.You can become the Gospel of Jesus in the lives of the people around you. Because if information transfer were enough, the internet would’ve saved us already. Transformation tends to sneak in through relationships long before it shows up in belief statements. _____________ FOLLOW ORTINEL G Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3RIBC6pTTm0FAQNcZrPnmi?si=SiyDOwyVR1GkhvraqfHZ0Q Threads: https://www.threads.com/@ortinel_g Substack: https://ortinelg.substack.com?utm_source=navbar&utm_medium=web

    Conversations: Christy Lynn Wood

    In this episode we talk with Christy Lynne Wood, author of Religious Rebels: Finding Jesus in the Awkward Middle Way, about her journey from growing up in a rigid Christian cult to finding true freedom in faith. Christy shares how she recognized the damage of religious legalism, how authentic encounters with Jesus reshaped her whole belief system, and why deconstructing toxic spiritual systems can lead to a more honest, grace-filled relationship with God. Christy opens up about spiritual abuse, cult thinking, and the difference between religion and a living faith, offering insight and encouragement for anyone questioning traditional religious structures or feeling stuck in guilt, fear, or performance-driven faith. Whether you’ve experienced church hurt, are wrestling with legalism, or are curious about what a life of grace really looks like, this conversation offers perspective and hope.

    Welcome Back! The 2026 Season Begins!

    After two years away from the mic for a necessary season of healing and mental health restoration, the Simply Love Jesus Podcast returns with renewed clarity and purpose. In this deeply personal episode, I share a little about why I stepped away, what God taught me in the silence, and why now is the right time to return. More than an announcement, this episode is a re-casting of vision for the podcast and for all of us who are trying to follow Jesus in a noisy, divided, and often exhausting world. This season of Simply Love Jesus is centered on a simple but challenging hope: that we wouldn’t just talk about good news—but learn how to be good news. Throughout this season, we’ll explore what it looks like to approach faith with open hearts and minds, willing to let go of beliefs, habits, or fears that keep us from fully loving God and loving people. If you’ve ever felt burned out by church culture, overwhelmed by faith conversations, or unsure how to hold conviction and compassion at the same time—this episode is for you. Welcome back. Let’s begin again. DISCORD: To join our online faith community, message @calebsdavis on any social media platform for a personal invitation.

    LETTER TO THE TIKTOKIANS

    In this episode, we are sharing Letter To The TikTokians, written by Caleb for the social media platform TikTok. This letter is more than words—it’s a call to reform the church, confront hate, and rediscover the true gospel of Jesus. Caleb’s words speak to those disillusioned by the modern church, offering a vision of faith rooted in love, peace, and justice. This heartfelt letter is a wake-up call for Christianity. Through powerful reflections, bold proclamations, and a vision for a better future, it challenges us to confront greed, corruption, and the misuse of faith while inspiring us to be Jesus' hands and feet in a hurting world. If you’ve ever felt disillusioned by modern Christianity or longed for a deeper connection with God, this episode is for you. Let’s unite to create a movement of faith, hope, and love that perseveres. 🔑 Keywords: Christian podcast, faith, hope, love, gospel, spiritual growth, rediscover Jesus, church reformation, biblical justice, Christian nationalism, true Christianity ONLINE GROUP: We started a Discord server and want you to join us! https://discord.gg/FXVNHRJC
