Along the way, we'll investigate science, history, and faith while wrestling with a que...

Today we’re looking at one of the most well-known accounts in the Bible. One most of us heard first as kids, but don’t often slow down to really think through. On the surface it can feel simple, even familiar. But when you start paying attention to the details, it opens up bigger questions. History, science, geography, and faith all colliding in one account. In this episode, we’re not just retelli...

Everybody loves a good mystery… especially the ones people say could never have happened. A man swallowed by a great sea creature. Three days in the depths. A storm that changed an entire ship. A city warned by one reluctant prophet. For generations, the story of Jonah has been dismissed by many as fiction, symbolism, or mythology. But what if the Bible is not giving us legends… what if it is givi...

What happens when society begins redefining love apart from God’s truth? Has modern culture slowly desensitized us to sin, conviction, and biblical morality? Through Scripture, this podcast explores the difference between emotional approval and real biblical love, why truth and compassion must remain together, and how culture can normalize behaviors God never intended. From 1 Corinthians 13 to the...

In this episode, we talk about forgiveness and what comes next.. reconciliation. Does every relationship go back to normal after forgiveness? Should trust always be fully restored? We break down what the Bible teaches about forgiveness, repentance, boundaries, and restoring broken relationships.

Forgiveness is not pretending it did not hurt or saying it was okay. It is releasing the debt and trusting God with what you cannot carry anymore. In this episode we break down what forgiveness actually is through Scripture, why it is so hard, and what it looks like in real life especially when there is no apology, no change, or when it involves family. We also talk about what forgiveness is not....

In this episode, we talk honestly about purity, dating, and sex before marriage in today’s culture. Is waiting until marriage still worth it? Why are dating boundaries so hard to keep? And what does God’s design for relationships actually look like? We break down common lies about sex before marriage, the emotional and spiritual impact of crossing boundaries, and why choosing purity leads to stron...

Fear of marriage is more common than people admit… not because we don’t believe in love, but because we’ve seen relationships fall apart. In this episode of The Promised Land Pursuit , we talk about how to overcome the fear of marriage, break generational relationship cycles, and build a strong, God-centered relationship that actually lasts. If you grew up around unhealthy communication, conflict,...

Ever wonder if the person you’re with is really “the one”… or if you’re even ready for a healthy relationship? In this episode, we’re talking about green flags , what they actually look like, and sharing some questions you can ask yourself to make sure your heart and your relationships are growing in the right direction.

Before we dive into our conversation on relationship red flags… we’re switching things up a bit. This episode starts light with some fun “get to know us” questions, and a peek into our relationship (because who doesn’t love a good love story?). In this episode, we also talk about: ➡️Advice we would give our younger selves ➡️Why intentional dating matters ➡️Biblical + practical wisdom on purity and...

What do you do when you’ve prayed, believed, and trusted… but God hasn’t answered yet? In this episode, we dive into the hardest answer to prayer: wait. Join us as we discuss the deep Biblical meaning of “wait” and explore examples to help you trust His timing.

When people talk about calling and ministry, it often sounds clear, confident, and certain. But behind the scenes, many of us wrestle with questions we rarely say out loud. What if I don’t feel called to anything? What if I step out and I was wrong? What if I’m too broken to be used? In this episode, we talk honestly about the *pushback questions* that can quietly hold us back from stepping into w...

So many young people feel God tugging at their heart toward ministry — missions, pastoring, teaching Sunday school, leading junior church… but fear steps in. “What if I’m not good enough?” “What if I fail?” “What if I’m not ready?” You’re not alone. In today’s podcast episode, we talk directly to youth who feel called but are battling fear. We break down common, very real anxieties and show how to...

Comparison doesn’t just happen — it grows where we allow it. In Part Two of this series, we get practical about how to stop it at the root: guarding what you consume, shifting your focus, and intentionally choosing gratitude. If you’re tired of measuring your life against someone else’s highlight reel, this conversation will help you reset your perspective and choose peace.

Ever scroll through social media and suddenly feel like everyone else has it all together — and you don’t? You’re not alone. In this episode, we break down why we compare ourselves to others, how it sneaks into our daily life, and what it really costs - our confidence, joy, and peace.
