The Double Dose Podcast

If you’ve ever wondered whether God’s love should automatically produce success, money, healing, and a pain-free life, we go straight at that tension and refuse the easy answers. We talk about the hidden assumptions many Christians carry and why faith can get shaky when outcomes don’t match what we expected from God.  We break down three “camps” that shape the way people relate to blessing: the pr...

You hear people say, "God told me," and you wonder what they mean because your life does not come with a burning bush. We get it. The question is not whether God is still speaking, but how to recognize His voice without spiraling into fear, comparison, or decision paralysis. We talk candidly about why this topic feels so loaded, especially in seasons of transition where you want clarity...

You can be successful, show up for your family, and still be slowly shaped by a habit you call harmless. We sit down with our friends Andrew and Jodi Morgan for a real conversation about alcohol, nervous system avoidance, and the quiet drift that happens when we reach for “just one” to take the edge off. The goal isn’t to label anyone an addict. It’s to get honest about what constant numbing might...

Darkness spreads when we look away, so we chose to face human trafficking with open eyes and a plan. We unpack what trafficking actually is—sex and labor exploitation, not just cinematic kidnappings—and why demand is rising through online grooming, pornography, sextortion, and criminal fronts hiding in plain sight. We talk through the myths that keep good people passive, then name the everyday ris...

A faith-forward coworker. A skeptical high-performer. An HR complaint that could have ended a relationship before it began. Instead, that collision became a doorway to honesty, healing, and a deeper understanding of what it really means to bring faith into the marketplace without an agenda or a script. We sit down with Kelly Fisher, a technology leader whose story moves from childhood church memor...

What if the hinge that changes your life is the voice you let define you? We open season two by going straight to the root: identity. Not as a personality label or a job title, but as the unshakable truth of being made in the image of God and called His children. From the first lie in the garden—Who told you you were naked?—to the quiet confidence of abiding, we map how worth is received, not earn...

We look back on a season that reached far beyond expectations and then roll up our sleeves to share how faith, neuroscience, and practical systems can turn flimsy resolutions into a legacy you can measure. We start with the heart: trading should goals for soul goals, inviting God into the planning, and pressure-testing dreams that outlive us. From there, we get tactical—how to write goals that sur...

Ever tried to help and watched it backfire? We unpack the art and soul of feedback—how to speak truth that actually lands, and how to hear correction without shrinking. From family blowups to boardroom debriefs, we share a framework that keeps love and clarity on the same team so growth feels possible, not painful. We start with the mirror: Matthew 7’s speck and plank reframed as a heart check bef...

Ever felt slammed with commitments yet strangely stagnant, like your calendar is full but your heart is asleep? We zoom in on the quiet drift that Scripture calls slothfulness—not just laziness, but misdirected energy that keeps you busy and still far from the work God actually gave you. From Haggai’s warning about misplaced priorities to Proverbs and Hebrews on spiritual sluggishness, we unpack h...

The storm never sends a warning. One day life hums along, the next you’re hit by a wave you didn’t see coming. We lean into a simple, sticky image—cows run from storms and suffer longer; buffalo run through storms and reach clear skies faster—and use it to reframe how we face pain. Together we unpack why avoidance feels safer, how fight, flight, freeze, and especially fawn keep us stuck, and why t...

Headlines shout. Our hearts want to shout back. We chose something harder—and braver—a holy pause to ask what God is saying in the middle of grief, confusion, and the swirl of opinions. We honor Charlie’s life by refusing cheap noise and by picking up the work he modeled: live the gospel out loud with courage, love, and action that outlasts outrage. We walk through the shock of loss and then track...

Have you ever wondered why it's so difficult to believe you're truly loved, no matter what? That struggle is at the heart of our spiritual journey. "Love like Jesus" sounds simple, but requires something profound first—allowing ourselves to be fully loved by Him.

That irritating coworker, family conflict, or professional disappointment might actually be a divine test revealing what's in your heart. In this transformative episode, we unpack the crucial difference between God's testing and Satan's temptation. Testing from God proves our trustworthiness and readiness...

The line between life and death isn't always as definitive as we think. Sometimes, it blurs in ways that defy medical explanation – ways that force even the most skeptical minds to consider something beyond science. Angelic shares the breathtaking journey of her son Austin, born with complex congenital heart defects that doctors believed would be fatal. What follows is an extraordinary 30-yea...

What if the things you're reaching for to feel alive are actually draining the life out of you?  Most of us have seemingly harmless habits we've developed to cope with stress, boredom, or emotional voids. Whether it's that nightly glass of wine after a hard day, scrolling through explicit content online, or constantly seeking validation through achievement and people-pleasing – thes...

Gratitude transforms everything—not just when life feels good, but especially during our darkest storms. This powerful conversation reveals how thankfulness works as both spiritual practice and biological necessity. We're naturally wired for negativity. Research shows negative experiences stick to us like Velcro while positive moments slide off like Teflon. That's why gratitude requires...

What would change if you truly understood the power your thoughts have over your reality? In this transformative episode, we dive deep into the revolutionary science behind how our thought patterns physically reshape our brains and ultimately determine our life experiences. Neuroscience has caught up to what scripture has been telling us all along: we are quite literally what we think. Research fr...

Have you ever struggled to know when to move forward and when to pause and trust God’s timing? That’s the heart of this conversation as we explore the balance between God’s sovereignty and our personal responsibility. It’s a real tension—how much do we surrender, and how much do we strive? When is it time to let go and trust, and when is it time to push through with perseverance? We’re diving into...

What happens when God’s grace meets our deepest wounds? Angelic Gibson’s powerful story shows how brokenness can lead to transformation. After losing her father at age three, Angelic was raised by a single mother and faced rejection early on. Neighborhood kids weren’t allowed to visit, and bullying was constant. By 23, she was divorced with three young children—wounded, weary, and searching for mo...

Join Elisa and Angelique as they explore compelling scientific data supporting the existence of God – from the mathematically impossible precision of our fine-tuned universe to archaeological discoveries affirming biblical accounts. We're witness...

Leaving a marriage is never an easy decision, but God will never ask us to stay in a situation that pulls us away from Him. For five years, Elisa found herself treading water in a relationship with a high-functioning alcoholic, repeatedly pushing life preservers his way only to watch them drift back untouched. Her story isn't just about divorce—it's about recognizing when God is speaking...
