Where did you see God?

In episode 33, we dive deep into the topic of marriage.  We were challenged to step back and humbly consider some hard, but freeing truths, like "your spouse is not the source nor the solution to your problems," and "the enemy doesn't want your marriage to last."   This episode is for those who are married, those who are single, those who are happy, and those who are struggling. Lea...

In episode 32, our kids give us a glimpse into why Jesus said in Matthew 18:3, "...become like little children."  While the adults are growing closer to God through the DTS, the kids are growing closer to God through the Foundation School; and in many ways, they are putting us grown folks to shame! Keep listening to hear how God told one of our kids who to pray for, and how he chased her down in t...

In episode 31, we share stories from week 2 of our Family DTS, where Bryan and Tara Riley, the founders of the Family DTS, shared about "The Father Heart of God.

In episode 30, we kick off Season Two, which will follow our family as God takes us on a crazy journey to grow closer to Him, grow as a couple, and grow as a family, all so that we can return ready to love our neighbors long term.  We've landed at YWAM Kona and are students in the Family Discipleship Training School , and in just a short time, it is clear that God is unveiling His incredible...

In Episode 29, the finale of Season 1, Josh Mozug -- Co-host of the "Let god Die" podcast -- and I reflect on how God works through our stories, and how we have been blessed through hosting our storytelling podcasts. God is crafting amazing stories in your life; are you open to sharing them as He leads? Listen to Josh's podcast, "Let god Die", as well as other projects at https://bit.ly/mozugmedia...

In Episode 28, we hear recorded stories from Remy and Daniel, who both found themselves in situations that the world would say were bad, and both found God working in ways that may not have been their "best case scenario", but God's scenario was far better.  God doesn't want to fix our situation, He wants to draw us to Him. Listen to Remy's Podcast, "The On My Mind Podcast", at anchor.fm/theo...

In episode 27, I had the privilege of hearing the story of my friend Gerard.  There are parts of his story that are hard for him to tell, and yet he knows that God is redeeming the parts of his life that he thought pushed him the furthest from God.  God was with him from start to finish, using his story to not only make him a new creation, but an Ambassador of Christ in a beautiful and powerful wa...

In episode 26, we hear from Bobby and Brenda Vickers, who just celebrated their 40th anniversary.  There's a lot of love between these two, but they get honest that there were many moments in their marriage that seemed hard and hopeless. And it was through their marriage that they met God in powerful ways.  It was through their marriage -- specifically those painful years -- that God did abundantl...

In episode 25, we hear from Paul's wife Becca, who has been behind the scenes in everything you've heard over the last 24 episodes; but as Paul's stories were being written, her own story was being written and intertwined with his.  We talk about how we often failed to honor each other's stories over our own, and how God was patient with us, bringing us to the place where our stories converge...

In episode 24, we hear from Roger Hershberger, who has been serving with YWAM for decades.  We explore the idea of those spaces where we believe the Spirit can't work: when we feel we don't have the capacity, it's not the right people, or it's not the right space.  The truth is, the Spirit can work wherever, and through whomever, He wants! Learn more about YWAM, and how you can join in t...

In Episode 23, Jadon and Bailey Franklin (with a cameo from Dustin Campbell), share their story of seeing the Spirit at work in Kenya, when all they did was create the space and step in obedience.  How can we, today, make space for the Spirit to move in and through us?

In episode 22, Jesse Carmichael, of YWAM Richmond, shares the story of how God transformed his friend Lawrence in a dramatic way, and how Jesse was privileged to see it because of his willingness to practice radical hospitality.

In episode 21, we hear the stories of Chris and Fauger, two men who didn't know each other, but who God brought together in an unexpected way, to engage a movement He began many years prior through dreams and prophetic words, connecting people from around the world; through a random RV, visions, and not one, but two statues of Neptune... This week marks the official start of the Virginia Beach loc...

In Episode 20, we hit Part 3 of 3 of the story of Kyle and John. Kyle was shot in the back of the head, and John was on the team of physicians. And God showed up, healing both the natural man and the spiritual man.  But He wasn't done yet: He wanted to demonstrate His power in unity. Have a story?

In Episode 19, we hit Part 2 of 3 of the story of Kyle and John.  Kyle was shot in the back of the head, and John was on the team of physicians. And while Kyle's natural body was dying, John would learn that his spiritual body was dying. But God showed up. Have a story?

In Episode 18, we hit Part 1 of 3 of the story of Kyle and John. Kyle was shot in the back of the head, and John was on the team of physicians. And God showed up. This is a miracle story; Parts 2 and 3, however, show that it's more than a miracle story. Have a story?

In Episode 17, my friend Iesha and I finally sit down; we have no idea where the conversation will go, but we know if we invite the Holy Spirit, He'll show up.  He does. I am so grateful for Iesha's vulnerability in this episode around her journey in naming and affirming her true identity, not the one the world would give her.  Excerpt from "My Utmost for His Highest" by Oswald Chambers....

Underlying all of the previous 15 episodes has been the story of my unemployment, which I've only shared in snippets to this point.  For the last couple months I've tried to sit and record; it took 4 attempts to finally get it out. Sharing it now brings trepidation, for many reasons, but I can't shake the sense there is something God is trying to do in the telling. But do not be fooled: this...

In the years that I've been friends with Tennicia, I have watched her persevere from hard situation to hard situation.  As a single mother of four, every day demands more from her than she may feel she can offer, but on 11/8 she began a journey of faith that showed her, not just what God could do in her life, but what He could move in her soul. Tennicia's story is powerful, and while the enem...

In the unofficial sequel to Episode 13, Carolyn shares how she met God -- and continues to meet God -- through obedience, and we also discover how sneaky God can be in orchestrating amazing stories (see: I learn that the Logan/Carolyn connection didn't stop at my 1am email.)

I couldn't sleep one night, and at 1:30am I felt the nudge to email my friend Logan about sharing his story on the podcast.  He happened to be up, and was immediately on board.  Since I first heard his story by my fire pit -- a story of God showing up through loss and addiction -- I've felt strongly it's a story people needed to hear. If you, or someone you know, are wrestling with addic...

I woke up this morning, checked out the verse of the day, and felt a nudge to record an advent episode.     Advent calls us to HOPE .  To PEACE .  To LOVE .  To JOY . In this season, God is giving us stories to tell; those stories have the power to transform us, astonish others, and show that God truly is "God with us."  Have a story?

In this episode, I'm recording in a hospital gown with heart sensors and IV tubes galore. After an unexpected blackout, I found myself in a midst of a hospital stay that went from a quick look-over to a nearly-a-week stay full of MRIs and EKGs. It was also full of God. Due to the signals coming from the medical equipment, some segments contain varying levels of interference. Have a story? You can...

In this episode, we hear stories from Garland and Murray on how they met God in the midst of "the pit". You know the pit: those seasons when you feel like you've fallen into a deep place from which you can't climb, where you feel hurt and forgotten. Not only does God meet us in the pit, but He uses what may have been "intended for evil" for good, as the shared sufferings of the Body become our sec...
