12 ELEVEN

Today, I’m joined by Richard Reeves for a conversation that centers on the powerful message: You Matter. Richard opens up about his journey through childhood and adolescence, marked by intense anxiety and overwhelming panic attacks, struggles he bore in silence that deeply affected his sense of self-worth and belonging.

In this episode, you’ll hear how a devastating loss in his youth caused Richard to turn away from God, unable to reconcile his faith with the pain he experienced. But, even as he walked away, God never stopped pursuing him. Decades later, Richard found himself surrendering to Jesus, stepping into a newfound freedom and discovering what it truly means to be fully known and accepted by the one true King.

For anyone wrestling with fear, anxiety, or questions of acceptance, this episode offers hope and encouragement. Richard’s story reminds us all that, no matter our past, we are accepted by the only One who truly matters: Jesus. I can’t wait for you to press play on this powerful episode!

Welcome back to the 12 Eleven Podcast. Today, we have the privilege of hearing from two remarkable brothers, Barham and Zach White. Both are college athletes playing baseball for the ULM Warhawks, but their story goes far beyond the field. In this episode, they’ll share their powerful journey of coming to Christ and the internal battle they faced—what they call “Toeing the Line"—where they had one foot in the world and one foot in their faith. 

Through their experiences, Barham and Zach discovered a profound truth: there is no middle ground when it comes to following Jesus. You're either all in for Him, or you're not. Their story speaks to the real struggles of high school and college life, the pressure to conform, and the hard choice between following the crowd or following Christ. 

They’ll also talk about the incredible impact the Fellowship of Christian Athletes has had on their faith journey, shaping them into the men they are today. What's even more inspiring is how their faith not only transformed their lives but also their relationship with each other. Though they didn’t always have a close bond growing up, Barham and Zach are now not just brothers by blood, but Brothers in Christ. 

Their testimony is a powerful reminder that God can restore and use anyone willing to go all in for Him. So join me as we dive into the encouraging story of two young men who have chosen to fully surrender to Jesus and are now making a bold stand for Him on their campus at ULM. If you're looking for hope and inspiration, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

Welcome back to the 12 Eleven Podcast. Today, I'm honored to sit down with Anna Shivers as she shares her remarkable journey to the cross. For much of her life, Anna was searching for Jesus in all the wrong places, unaware that He had been pursuing her all along. Her early years were marked by deep wounds, including sexual trauma, and the heavy burden of carrying the sins and shame of others. For years, she remained silent about her pain, believing love was something she had to earn—a reflection of the betrayals she'd experienced at the hands of men.

But today, Anna's story is one of transformation. She has come to know the unconditional love of God, realizing that His love is not something we perform for, but a gift we receive. Through His Word, she has discovered the truth about God's character and how the brokenness she once carried was the opposite of what He intended for her life.

Join us as Anna courageously walks us through her journey—one that is both heart-wrenching and awe-inspiring. This is a story of redemption, healing, and the moment she finally met Jesus at the cross. I’m deeply grateful for her willingness to share such a personal and powerful testimony of who God is to her.

“Welcome back to part two of Britt Richardson’s incredible testimony. In today’s episode, we’ll dive into Britt’s deeply personal struggles—her battle with idolatry of her child, postpartum depression, and crippling anxiety. She opens up about the exhausting challenge of trying to control her life, only to find peace in surrendering to God’s will. Britt will also share how her decision to finally follow through with baptism ignited a new chapter in her spiritual journey with Jesus Christ.

But as she’ll reveal, following Jesus isn’t always easy. After her baptism, she faced new trials, yet this time she had hope—something unshakable to cling to. We’ll hear about how the Lord refined her through these challenges and how, in the midst of it all, she has truly ‘tasted and seen that the Lord is good.’ And you won’t want to miss the powerful conclusion where Britt shares a moving story connected to the bleeding woman from Scripture. This is an episode filled with hope, healing, and the undeniable goodness of God.”

Welcome to the 12 Eleven Podcast. Today, we have an incredible story to share—one that will both inspire and challenge you. Britt Richardson, a true miracle child, has experienced unimaginable hardship, yet her story is a testament to the power of God's grace. From being abandoned by her parents and sent from house to house, without a true sense of identity, to now being completely abandoned to Jesus Christ, Britt’s journey is nothing short of miraculous.

In this episode, Britt will open up about the trauma of abandonment and the consequences of not dealing with that pain. She'll share the vital importance of obedience to God’s Word and the struggles and roadblocks that come from disobedience. Britt’s life has been marked by trials, but also by the undeniable hand of God working miracles in her life. 

This is just part one of her incredible story, and I can’t wait for you to hear what she has to share. So get ready, because you’re about to witness a testimony of God's faithfulness and transformation through the life of Britt Richardson.

Today, I’m honored to introduce a remarkable woman of God, Dana Dixon, in an episode we’ve titled 'Follow Me.' Dana’s journey began with a simple call from the Lord to follow Him. That path has led her to become a spiritual mother to many and a disciple-maker, teaching women about the goodness of Jesus. Through her own discipleship and her deep conversations with other women of faith, Dana has now become a vessel for passing on what was poured into her. The Lord is using her in mighty ways, and her story is a true encouragement. So, join me as we take a look at the incredible journey of Dana Dixon. I hope her story uplifts you as much as it has inspired me."

Welcome back to the 12 Eleven Podcast. It’s been a month since we last connected, and I want to share with you why this time away was so important. I took a much-needed pause to be still with the Lord, to seek His guidance, and to allow Him to reveal what He has in store for me and my family.

Today, I couldn’t be more excited about the conversation we’re about to have. I have a very special guest in the seat—someone who has had a profound impact on my life.
