    When the Next News Story Breaks with Sharon Hodde Miller

    In this episode, I sit down with Christ-follower, author, pastor, and teacher, Sharon Hodde Miller, to talk about what it looks like to find real freedom. Not the kind the world talks about, but the kind that comes when we stop trying to control everything and let God be in charge. We talk about everything from how to respond to the next big news story, to how to tell the difference between the Holy Spirit's nudge and plain old overthinking. Sharon shares wisdom on what healthy responsibility looks like versus unhealthy control, and how surrendering to God's authority actually brings more peace (and not stress)!  This conversation is honest, practical, and full of truth. If you've ever struggled with anxiety, control, or just feeling overwhelmed by the world around you, this is for you!   Thanks to our amazing partners on this episode, First Interstate Bank and Vern Eide.   First Interstate Bank has a mission to help people and their money work better together.

    Mark Herzlich on the NFL, Cancer and Perseverance (Faith and Justice Series Pt. 3)

    Welcome to part 3 of a very special podcast series we are calling Faith & Justice. In this series, we're diving into what it looks like to follow Jesus in a world that is deeply in need of hope, healing, and justice. We have been partnering with the International Justice Mission, an incredible organization working to end violence, exploitation, and modern-day slavery in some of the darkest corners of the world.  Today, we hear from former NFL linebacker Mark Herzlich. Mark's story is powerful. He's battled cancer, walked away from two dream careers in the NFL and sports broadcasting, and is now following God's call into ministry.  He also opens up about how his wife Danielle's story of childhood abuse has fueled his own passion for justice and standing up for those who can't stand up for themselves. This conversation is real and raw, especially for men of faith who want to live with purpose, courage, and conviction.

Nick was also a former Director of Team Freedom, IJM's program that brings pro athletes together to use their influence for good. Nick shares about his journey from playing in the big leagues to working in the front office with the Texas Rangers, how he juggles all his roles and what it really means to live out your faith right where you are.  And parents… there's a piece of advice Nick's dad gave him that you're gonna want to tuck away.

He loves you and will meet you right where you're at. Friend, this conversation will encourage you to keep opening your Bible and remind you that you don't have to do it alone.

  6. Healing Together Through Hard Seasons: Justin & Trisha Davis (Marriage Series Pt. 4)

    Healing Together Through Hard Seasons: Justin & Trisha Davis (Marriage Series Pt. 4)

    Today is part 4 of our marriage series and we're wrapping things up with an incredible couple: Justin & Trisha Davis. Their story? It's real. It's raw. In 2002 after planting their first church, Justin had an affair with a staff member (who was also Trisha's best friend). They walked through four years of deep pain, grief, counseling and by God's grace… restoration. Here's the thing… not every hard season happens because of choices we make. A medical diagnosis. A failed business. A struggling child. Family drama. A pandemic. These moments can easily pull us apart or force us to stand together even closer. Justin & Trisha remind us that marriage works best when you choose to face challenges as a team instead of as enemies. We talk about the importance of honesty, vulnerability and turning towards your spouse when things get tough.  This episode is full of practical wisdom and a whole lot of grace. I hope you are encouraged.

    The Little Things That Keep Love Alive: Nicky & Sila Lee (Marriage Series Pt. 3)

    Today is part 3 of our marriage series and I had the privilege of sitting down with Nicky and Sila Lee, a well-known couple from England who developed The Marriage Course - a program that's impacted couples around the world. They've been married 49 years (yes, 49 years!) and they share the small but powerful habits that have kept their love strong: praying together, saying thank you (especially for the little things) and making time for regular date nights - even after almost 5 decades of marriage! My favorite part? Watching how they laugh together. They balance each other so well, you can just tell how much they truly enjoy one another. Their wisdom is simple, practical and so encouraging. No matter what season of marriage you are in.
