I believe God wants us to travel. I believe so much in this that I’ve wanted to do an episode on it for a long time.

When travel agency owner, Amanda Hietter, contacted me, I knew she was the guest to finally have this conversation with. We talk about how traveling affects our spiritual development and how we see the world.

In this episode I talk to Lesley Pyle - one of God’s pioneers.

In 1995, Lesley was moving up the corporate ladder towards a very successful career when something happened to her that changed her life - she became a mom. Lesley couldn’t picture a world where she couldn’t raise her new baby the way she wanted to.

Instead of settling for how she was told the world had to be, she used her faith to do something new - working remotely in a time where most people didn’t even think it was an option. After doing it successfully herself, she built a business that helps other talented and hard working moms do the same.

Listen in on our conversation and get inspired!

The internet has created virtual worlds that billions of people spend a lot of their time in. Did Jesus die for those worlds, too?

In this episode, I invite my friend Romans to talk about it. Romans is a serial entrepreneur whose ventures have generated over $100million dollars. He wants to use his resources and talents to impact the gaming industry for the Kingdom. The gaming industry is bigger than the movie, music, and sports industries combined and it’s a field filled with many lost souls. Will the church be willing to cross social and religious boundaries to go after them?

Romans is holding a gaming and content creator conference in November.  Info at ReachConf.org

About Romans:

Romans is a gaming and streaming authority, tech entrepreneur, and founder of ventures generating $100M+.  He has guided creators to hundreds and thousands of followers and millions of likes.  Romans empowers others by merging faith, business, and technology to build thriving communities at

I’ve been thinking a lot about how worship is tied to nature. Is worship just singing to Jesus? Or, are there other ways to do it? Or, dare I say, are there better ways to do it?

Did God create nature to give us a vital way to connect with Him? I invited Jarvis Ovalles to talk about it.

RIP Charlie Kirk.

A lil' bit of my story ...

I’ve been thinking a lot about time. I think it’s such a wonderfully weird concept that only God could’ve thought up.

In this episode, I finish my conversation with Brian Kinne. We talk about how God created time and how it was always meant to be a tool to bless us with. If you feel like time has been working against you or that you’re out of it, I hope this episode blesses you. Listen in and join our conversation!

I think overthinking is one of the worst things hurting our world right now. It causes us to stew in negative thoughts and create false realities that lead us to make really bad decisions. These decisions can end up destroying dreams, our self-image, and even close relationships.

In this episode I talk to Julie Kinne about how she overcame her own overthinking so that she could take action and build a multi-million dollar business. Listen in on our conversation!  You know you want to.
