In this conversation, Chris Barnes opens up about a life shaped by faith, calling, and the quiet faithfulness of God in every season. From growing up in the deep South’s church culture to discovering a real relationship with Jesus in the middle of bullying and loneliness, Chris shares how God met him long before he understood what following Him truly meant.

He reflects on early steps into worship leading, an unexpected journey into touring and ministry, and the prayer that shaped his calling: “Lord, if You let me do this, I’ll do it for no one but You.” Chris also speaks honestly about recent hardship; losing his job, financial uncertainty, and learning to trust God when the math doesn’t add up. Through it all, he returns to a simple truth: nothing is wasted in the hands of God.

If you’re walking through confusion, transition, or doubt, Chris’s story offers a gentle reminder that God is present in every chapter; seen and unseen, expected and unexpected.

Sometimes it’s the small mercies that lead us back to the heart of God.Please share this episode with a friend who needs to know that they are not alone, and they aren't too far gone for God.

When life doesn’t unfold the way we imagined, it’s easy to wonder where God is in the middle of it. In this powerful conversation, Joe Krajacic shares the long road from childhood dreams and hidden battles to the moment Jesus met him in the deepest place of loss. His story moves through Tourette’s, striving for worth, the weight of unmet expectations, and the heartbreak of miscarriage . And yet, woven through every chapter is a God who was pursuing him long before Joe ever knew how to look for Him.

This episode is an invitation to see your own story differently: not as a series of failures or detours, but as a place where the Lord has been present all along. As Joe says, “Everything has a purpose and it’s for its good, but God is with you… and if you don’t believe He’s with you, He’s pursuing you the whole time.”

May his testimony remind you of the God who meets us in the garage moments of life, the God who whispers, “It’s okay. I’ve got this.”

What happens when God uses quiet moments, unexpected friendships, and even the chaos of social media to pull someone back toward Him?

This is a testimony about subtle grace, second chances, and the God who keeps drawing us home. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the noise of the world or unsure how to reconnect with your faith, Kevin’s story will meet you right where you are.

Mike Favale grew up knowing about God. The prayers, the rituals, and the rules, but not the relationship. What followed was a long, winding road through rebellion, addiction, near‑misses, answered prayers he didn’t recognize, and a stubborn determination to do life on his own strength.

But somewhere between a burning house in Brooklyn, a son fighting for his life, late‑night shifts, unexpected conversations, and a tug he couldn’t explain, God began stitching together a story Mike never saw coming.

In this episode, Mike shares how the Lord pursued him through years of running, how divine timing softened a heart that once wanted nothing to do with faith, and how a single morning conviction led him and his family into a church he didn’t even know he needed.

His testimony is raw, honest, and full of the kind of grace that doesn’t shout, but steadily pulls a person home.

“I knew of God. I didn’t know God.”

If you’ve ever wondered whether God can reach someone who’s drifted far, fought hard, or tried to fix everything alone, Mike’s story is a reminder that no one is too stubborn, too broken, or too late for the love of Christ.

Nick Schwartz grew up with a quiet, steady faith; the kind that doesn’t come with fireworks or dramatic turning points. But somewhere between hedge‑fund boardrooms, long commutes, and a backwards‑walking stranger on the sidewalk, God began weaving a story Nick never saw coming.

In this conversation, Nick opens up about the years when God felt silent, the slow burn of frustration and longing, and the unexpected moment that cracked everything open. What started as a simple nudge toward a man in need became a chain of events so precise, so tender, so unmistakably guided that it reshaped Nick’s faith and his entire life’s direction.

Today, Nick is helping bring clean water and the living water of the gospel to communities around the world. But the road there was anything but straightforward. His story is a reminder that God’s timing is rarely our timing, His silence is never absence, and His fingerprints often show up only when we look back.

“Sometimes when God appears to be saying no, He’s really just saying not yet.”

If you’re in a season of waiting, wrestling, or wondering whether God still moves, this testimony is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend and pastor, Ken Platt, to talk about the long, winding, and sometimes surprising ways God shapes a life. Ken grew up in the church, but like so many of us, he spent years trying to figure out who he really was and where God was in the middle of all that searching.

From childhood faith to people‑pleasing, from mountaintop moments to quiet whispers he didn’t fully understand at the time, Ken shares how God kept pursuing him patiently, creatively, and sometimes in ways he didn’t recognize until much later.

There’s a moment in his story that completely reframed how he saw God’s presence in his life… but I’ll let you hear that part for yourself.

If you’ve ever wrestled with identity, calling, or the feeling that God is there but just out of view, this conversation will speak to you. Settle in. This one is honest, tender, and full of the kind of reminders we all need.
