    Episode 6: Faithful With a Little

    Talking about money and church can be uncomfortable. Maybe you’ve grown up hearing “give 10%” but never really understood why. Or maybe you’ve felt the tension of wanting to give but barely making ends meet. If that’s you, you’re not alone. In this episode of The Days Before You podcast, we sit down with George Crumley, a man who’s spent over 40 years working in church finance. Together, we talk about the heart behind giving, the struggles that come with it, and the quiet ways God shows up when we step out in faith.

    Episode 5: When God Feels Far

    Grief doesn't follow a script. It’s messy, heavy, and can shake even the strongest faith. In this powerful episode of The Days Before You, pastors Brook and Jeremy Wong share their heartbreaking experience of losing their seven-year-old daughter, JJ, just 17 days after a sudden cancer diagnosis. With raw honesty, they open up about pain, doubt, and the deep darkness of grief, but also about hope, healing, and the gentle ways God carried them through.

    Episode 4 - The Line Between

    There’s a line between supporting ministry and being consumed by it — a line that can be hard to see when you’re the spouse, child, or close relative of someone in church leadership. In this episode of The Days Before You, Chelsea Sutherland, a nurse and pastor’s wife, opens up about navigating expectations, setting healthy boundaries, and learning how to serve from a place of joy rather than obligation. This conversation explores the often unseen tension between public roles and personal faith, and how finding that balance can lead to a more authentic spiritual life.

    Episode 3: Breath of the Soul

    Prayer doesn’t always come easily. For some, it can feel dry, uncomfortable, or confusing, especially when it seems like nothing is happening. In this episode of The Days Before You, the conversation turns toward the heart of what prayer truly is: a growing relationship with God. Guest Gail McKenzie shares stories, struggles, and insights on how to pray when it’s hard, how to listen when it’s quiet, and how to keep showing up even when the answers don’t come right away.

    Episode 2: Something Worth Saying

    How do we share our faith in a world full of noise? In this episode of The Days Before You, we explore how communication can be used to connect others with Christ. Whether it's through face-to-face conversations or a 15-second video on social media, sharing the gospel is about understanding your story, your audience, and your purpose. With Communication Professor Pablo Fernandez, we talk about building common ground, being intentional, and why if you’re alive and breathing, you already have something worth sharing.

    Episode 1: What Makes This Faith Different?

    Why Christianity—and why this version of it? In this episode of The Days Before You, we ask some of the biggest, most personal questions in faith: Why do we follow Jesus? What makes Christianity different? And when there are so many denominations, why does any of it matter? Pastor Benjie Maxson joins us for a deep and honest conversation about the roots of belief, the beauty of the gospel, and the challenges of interpreting scripture through our personal “lenses.”

    Episode 7: Is This It?

    Finding your calling can feel overwhelming. For some, it comes early—a clear path forward, perfectly aligned with their gifts. For others, it feels like wandering through fog, trying to make sense of where they belong. And when calling gets mixed up with career, the pressure to “figure it out” can weigh even heavier. What if you’re passionate about something but not great at it? What if you’ve chosen a career and it still doesn’t feel right? How do you know when you’ve found your purpose, and what happens when it takes years to get there? If you’ve ever felt stuck, uncertain, or afraid you’re getting it wrong, this episode is for you. Take heart—God works through the journey, not just the destination.
