In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Pastor Jay sits down with Tracy Robert to talk about faith, suffering, healing, and the God who never walks away.

Tracy shares how God carried her through some of the hardest seasons of her life — seasons that tested her faith, stretched her heart, and ultimately brought her into a deeper relationship with Him than ever before.But the story doesn’t end there.What the enemy meant for destruction, God transformed into purpose. Today, Tracy is passionately helping others navigate physical, emotional, and spiritual struggles with wisdom, compassion, and hope that could only come from walking through the fire herself.

This episode is real, encouraging, emotional, and full of practical insight for anyone facing:

• trials and uncertainty

• health struggles

• emotional battles

• spiritual questions

• or the feeling that life has gone off course

If you’ve ever wondered where God is in the middle of the storm, this conversation will remind you:He doesn’t always stop the storm immediately… but He never leaves us to face it alone.

This is a conversation about healing, hope, resilience, purpose, and discovering that sometimes the greatest ministry is born from the deepest pain.

In this powerful and encouraging conversation, Pastor Jay sits down with Chris and Antoinette Saveedra to talk about how God completely transformed their lives and led them into a journey of faith they never expected.

Coming from difficult backgrounds and far from where they are today, they share how God began changing their hearts, their priorities, and their purpose through simple obedience and surrender.

One of the biggest themes throughout this conversation is this truth: God is not looking for logic as much as He’s looking for our yes.

So often, the steps God asks us to take don’t make sense in the moment. But time and time again, Chris and Antoinette have seen God move powerfully simply because they were willing to trust Him and obey.

This episode is honest, inspiring, relatable, and full of encouragement for anyone facing difficult faith decisions, uncertain seasons, or moments where God is calling them to trust Him beyond what feels comfortable or logical.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Lenee’ Pezzano, also known as The Redeemed Perfectionist, to unpack what it truly means to walk in the grace of God.So many believers find themselves stuck in a cycle of striving—trying to earn God’s approval through performance, rules, and religious expectations. But that was never the heart of the Gospel.Together, we dive deep into the tension between grace and legalism, exploring how performance-based faith can quietly steal our joy, our peace, and our intimacy with God.Lenee’ shares her heart and her mission to help people—especially women—break free from perfectionism, release the pressure to “get it all right,” and step into the freedom and fullness that God has already made available through His grace.This conversation will challenge you to shift from striving to surrender… from pressure to peace… and from performance to true relationship with God.If you’ve ever felt like you’re not doing enough, not measuring up, or constantly trying to earn what’s already been given—this episode is for you.Connect with Lenee' Pezzanohttps://leneepezzano.com/https://www.facebook.com/leneepezzanohttps://www.instagram.com/leneepezzano

It’s easy to get busy, distracted, or inconsistent, but spiritual growth doesn’t happen by accident. It happens on purpose.

In this episode, you’ll discover:    •    Why daily time in the Word is essential for spiritual growth    •    How inconsistency leads to spiritual drift    •    The power of journaling as you read Scripture    •    Simple ways to build a consistent habit with God

Because the habit that will change your life…is getting in the Word.

In this powerful and deeply moving conversation, I sit down with Sofia Carpenter to hear a story that could have ended in tragedy… but instead became a testimony of God’s redeeming power.

Sofia’s life took a devastating turn after a severe car accident that left her facing multiple surgeries, overwhelming pain, and moments where she questioned whether she even wanted to keep going. What followed was not just a physical battle, but a spiritual one.

Yet in the middle of the darkest moments, God began to speak.What the enemy meant to destroy her… God used to transform her.Sofia shares how her journey through suffering led her into a real relationship with God, and how she now walks in purpose, helping others find hope in the middle of their own pain. In her own words, she recognizes that without that accident, she may have never truly come to know Him.

This conversation is a reminder that God does not waste pain. Even the hardest moments can become the very thing that leads us into His presence and purpose.If you’ve ever questioned why something happened… or wondered if anything good could come from your struggle… this episode is for you.

In one of the most raw and transformative conversations we’ve had on the Audacious Faith Podcast, I sit down with Raquel Soto — a woman who survived four suicide attempts and now helps others rewire their minds for purpose.Raquel shares how, in her darkest moments, God intervened. Instead of giving up, she began asking deeper questions: Why was I thinking this way? What was happening in my brain? Why did it feel logical at the time? That search led her into neuroscience, brain science, and a deeper exploration of how our thoughts shape our reality — all grounded in powerful biblical truth.Today, Raquel teaches people how to renew their minds, step fully into their calling, and move from survival mode into 10X — even 100X — purposeful living. We talk about mental health, spiritual warfare, identity, what’s happening to our kids today, and how so much of what’s robbing us of clarity and strength is subtle, systemic, and spiritual.This is not just an interview.It’s a wake-up call.And it may be the conversation someone you love desperately needs to hear.Don’t miss this one.
