The Overcomers podcast is stories of men and women who have endured unimaginable hardships—have clung to Jesus during the dark night of the soul, yet their faith has remained intact and often more vibrant than before.Most of these stories are not clean and do not have a neat bow at the end. Many are still in the middle of battling to believe Jesus is better, come what may.

    Worship-Fueled Courage in the Face of Adversity

    Worship-Fueled Courage in the Face of Adversity

    As I wrap up this season, I want to neatly summarize what this season was about. Whether it was walking through the four Horseman of the apocalypse, interviews, question and answers, the whole point was to highlight how true overcoming is not tied to mere personal effort or any treasure of this world, but arises from deep, heartfelt worship, rooted in the confidence of Jesus' reign and rule. This worship brings strength, courage, and gratitude, that can transform our responses to adversity, infusing our hearts with gratitude and confidence.
    My prayer has been and will continue to be that you are reminded that God has called you, specifically you, within the grand narrative of God's story to walk in the confidence that Jesus has come and will come again. And when you fully surrender to His rule and reign in your life, you have the power to overcome life's challenges.

    Overcoming Spiritual Starvation with Gary and Sandi Stevenson

    Overcoming Spiritual Starvation with Gary and Sandi Stevenson

    It's possible to have everything this world has to offer and be starving — maybe not physically, but spiritually. In this episode of The Overcomers, I want to help you gain a deeper understanding of the profound symbolism of the black horse from Revelation 6 and its connection to spiritual famine.
    Gary and Sandi Stevenson's marriage was built on shaky grounds from the start, marred by infidelity and addiction, which led to a perfect facade hiding internal turmoil. Through their candid sharing, we explore how their relationship almost disintegrated under the weight of shame and sin — even while attending and being involved in their local church. It was only through the acts of confession, repentance and walking in the light with community that they were able to combat the lies of the Black Rider. Their testimony is a moving example of how bringing darkness into the light can lead to profound healing and a restored, abundant life through Jesus.

    Overcoming the Pressures of the Platform with Max Lucado

    Overcoming the Pressures of the Platform with Max Lucado

    This episode is a slight departure from my usual episode, but I had the profound opportunity to sit with Max Lucado, a man I have admired for many years, to discuss the layers of growth and grace that have marked his journey from a young man battling alcohol to the seasoned pastor he is today. In our candid conversation, you will get to see the heart of a spiritual leader who has walked through the fire of personal trials and emerged with an faith in Jesus worthy of imitation. Max's vulnerability in sharing his story reminds us that even those in church leadership need the grace of Jesus.
    Stripping away the veneer often associated with pastoral life, Max and I discuss the hurdles of vulnerability, balancing ministry and family, and the relentless pull for approval. Our conversation highlights the power of community in the healing process and the profound freedom that comes from being transparent about one's struggles. We confront the temptation of seeking validation from others, reminding ourselves that our worth is not tethered to our imperfections but is instead a reflection of divine grace.
    My prayer is that through this series you will discover and be reminded of the hope and courage available to overcome life's challenges through the finished work of Christ.

    Persevering Over the Oppression of the Pale Rider

    Persevering Over the Oppression of the Pale Rider

    I've personally felt the heavy hand of illness and seen its shadow loom over those I care for. In this episode, we will examine what the Pale Horse represents and how we are to combat it. We will also take a look at what Revelation has to say about how illness and sickness affects the saints today. This conversation isn't just theological—it's personal. I share some of my own journey through sickness, and how I had to wrestle with the diverse Christian beliefs regarding faith and healing. 
    If you find yourself in the midst of illness, or you’re walking with a loved one through a season of intense suffering, I hope this episode gives you hope and strengthens your spine for singing God’s praises into the storm and gives you a biblically sound framework for standing firm on the promises of God.
    My prayer is that through this series you will discover and be reminded of the hope and courage available to overcome life's challenges through the finished work of Christ.

    Confronting the Despair of the Black Rider

    Confronting the Despair of the Black Rider

    In this episode, I want to orient our thinking around how we're going to experience the Black Horse and its Rider. Because if we're going to overcome the Black Horse, then we need to understand how the rider and the horse affect us and those around us.
    This conversation isn't meant to be an intellectual exercise; it's a realistic look at the black rider's impact on our faith and walk with Christ.This episode is an invitation to understand the deeper spiritual dynamics at play and to rekindle a faith that seeks sustenance in the true bread of life.
    My prayer is that through this series you will discover and be reminded of the hope and courage available to overcome life's challenges through the finished work of Christ.
