God called him to be a watchman—an alarm to warn the people of the danger that was approaching. His message wasn't meant to condemn, but to call people back to God before it was too late. Join us as we discover wh...

We’re always charging our phones, checking our cords, and making sure we’re connected—but what about our connection to God? Join me this week as we explore how to plug into the ultimate power source and stay strong in the Lord. You won’t want to miss it!

Do you feel like you're drifting through life—slowly being pulled farther from shore? In a world full of distractions, disappointments, and uncertainty, it's easy to lose our footing and find ourselves carried by the current. Today, we're talking about anchors—and why it's time to anchor ourselves firmly to Jesus, the One who holds us steady through every storm.

This week, I read Chapter Five, “Miracles, Madness, and Spilt Milk,” where we walk through the struggles of diagnosis and debt, and the overwhelming moments when life feels both fragile and chaotic—yet still touched by glimpses of hope.

This week, we step back into my teenage years—sharing moments from life on the farm, time spent with horses, first jobs, first cars, and eventually the road that led me off to college. These early chapters remind us that the places we come from and the experiences we carry in our youth shape us deeply, laying the groundwork for who we become later in life—for better and for worse.

Welcome to the podcast.
