    215. David Jennings - The Danger of Chasing the Platform

    In this episode of The Hacka Podcast, we sit down with David Jennings — recording artist, worship leader, preacher, and producer — for a deeply honest conversation about calling, worship, obedience, and spiritual formation. David shares his powerful story of growing up in a multicultural military town in Texas, how God used hidden seasons to shape his ministry, and the defining moment when he fully surrendered to God’s call. Together, they discuss the danger of chasing platforms instead of process, why authenticity matters more than visibility, and how true worship is formed in prayer rooms long before it’s ever heard on a stage. The conversation also dives into David’s experience leading worship at North American Youth Congress, the story behind the song “He’s in the Room,” and what it really means to keep God first in ministry, family, and everyday life.

    213. Olivia Hill - Why Your Health Matters to Your Ministry

    In this episode, I sit down with Olivia Hill, founder of Liv Hill Nutrition, to explore the connection between faith, wellness, and calling. Olivia shares her powerful journey from a difficult childhood, to finding truth in the Apostolic church, to losing 150 pounds naturally, and ultimately discovering a God-given ministry helping people steward their health. She opens up about how poor health was limiting her spiritual capacity, how simple habits led to real transformation, and why consistency—not intensity—is the key to lasting change. Olivia also explains why nutrition matters for ministry, the unique value of Apostolic coaching, and practical steps anyone can take today to improve their health.If you’ve ever felt stuck, fatigued, or uncertain about how to begin taking care of your body, this conversation will offer hope, clarity, and a whole lot of grace.
