Today's show is a little bit different as I share a recent interview that my wife, Amy, did with Neil Matthews on the Other People's Shoes podcast. You know my story but you’ve never heard Amy’s story like she shares with Neil. The fact I wasn’t part of the interview made it so unique and honest. It was Amy unplugged in a way that I’ve never heard her before. It was real, raw, emotional an...

This week, I start the show spending a few minutes talking the new phone I purchased (don’t worry, it ties into today’s episode) that simply lets me text and call people. A brave new world for me in my attempt to defeat distractions in my life.   Those distractions can often lead to anxiety when scrolling social media. That’s why I am so blessed to have Jordan Daniel Chitwood back on the show this...

At the age of 22, Matt lost both of his hands in an electrical accident. That left Matt feeling like he lost his identity and purpose in life. And despite being clinically dead for 20 minutes, he was still far away from God....

We have a great conversation about having a Godly marriage, growing her relationship with Jesus later in life as her faith matured vs. following religious routines. And she encourages women to take off their masks (which I love of...

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. So before the calendar flips to June, I wanted to share what's on my heart around anxiety and provide an update on how I am dealing with my own mental health three years after getting saved.
