Ep. 76 - The Healer Nurse - Kyle Woods 12.04.2026

Does God still heal people today? When Jesus walked the earth in human form, He performed miracles on the regular and even told us to do them. But if you’re a modern day Christian in the Western world, you may believe that stuff isn’t for today.  Why is that? In this episode, I talk to Kyle Woods - a healer nurse who prays for all his patients and has seen so many miracles throughout his career. ...

Ep. 75 - Hoping When It’s Dark - Bruce Roselle 07.02.2026

Being saved doesn’t mean you’re a good leader. Neither does having a title or a ministry. Good leadership takes intense intentionality, sacrifice, and work. In the book of Isaiah (chapter 60:2) it says that a thick darkness will cover the earth. Recently, in prayer, Holy Spirt told me that God was raising up leaders that would help people to Hope in the darkness. In this episode, I talk to my new...

Ep. 72 - God So Loved the (Virtual) World? - Romans 11.10.2025

The internet has created virtual worlds that billions of people spend a lot of their time in. Did Jesus die for those worlds, too? In this episode, I invite my friend Romans to talk about it.

The gaming industry is bigger t...

Ep 71 - Singing Mountains, Fish Math, and Experiencing God in the Wild - Jarvis Ovalles 21.09.2025

I’ve been thinking a lot about how worship is tied to nature. Is worship just singing to Jesus? Or, are there other ways to do it? Or, dare I say, are there better ways to do it? Did God create nature to give us a vital way to connect with Him? I invited Jarvis Ovalles to talk about it.   RIP Charlie Kirk.

Ep. 67 - Overthinking Is Killing You - Julie Kinne 06.04.2025

I think overthinking is one of the worst things hurting our world right now. It causes us to stew in negative thoughts and create false realities that lead us to make really bad decisions.

How does a 19-year-old start a business and make multiple 6 figures? Well, he has to do things differently. Following God can be really scary because He’ll take you where others aren’t willing to go.
