In this episode, Pete shares his story of walking through cancer while choosing to fix his eyes on the Shepherd instead of the valley. Cancer has not disappeared, but it has been moved to the back seat because the work that God is doing in this season is too alive and purposeful to be overshadowed by fear.

Who is the Lord - really?

in this episode, we are having an honest conversation about what it actually means to make God the Lord of your life. Not just Savior on Sundays ... but leader, voice, and authority in our everyday decisions, routines, relationships, and struggles.

-What "Lordship" really means

-The difference between believing in God and surrendering to Him

-Letting God lead your relationships, reactions, and choices

Let's talk about what it really looks like to truly say, " Lord, will You lead me?"

the Bible shows us again and again : nearness to God often costs something.

In this episode, we explore how God uses trials, suffering, and prolonged seasons of difficulty to draw His people closer to Him. What does it mean to remain near when faith feels costly? How does God form depth and intimacy through our struggles?

In this throwback episode, we take a moment to look back on conversations over the last season of the podcast and reflect - on God's goodness, on His faithfulness, and on all the ways that He has grown us along the way.

Can you lead even while you are still becoming? How can you show up authentically when the world tells us to show up filtered? Is intimacy the key to influence? This conversation is all about leadership and the way that God invites us into a place of love and grace to refine us into who we were created to be.

In this episode, we sit down with Jess Brown, co-founder of The Kin House — a nonprofit in its beginning stages of creating a safe home and healing center for children rescued from sex trafficking.

Jess shares how God placed this calling on her heart, the steps of faith it’s taken to pursue it, and what it really looks like to say yes when God invites us into something bigger than ourselves.

We talk about obedience, hesitation, and the courage to respond even when the path ahead feels uncertain — and how God equips us for the very things He calls us to.

In this episode, we open up about the very real struggle of imposter syndrome—the feeling that we’re never quite enough or don’t fully belong. Together, we talk about how weaving prayer into the rhythm of our everyday lives grounds us in God’s presence and reminds us of who we truly are. Most importantly, we reflect on the depth of the Father’s love for us, a love so strong that it redefines our worth and reshapes our identity. When we rest in that love, we discover we are not imposters at all—we are beloved children of God.

How do you know if it's God's voice or just your own thoughts? In this episode, we sit down with Jonathan Lee McElhenny to talk about the wrestle of discerning God's will versus our own desires. We dive into the process of preparing sermons, how he is learning to continually step in faith when doors close, and what it really looks like to trust God through financial battles and seasons of uncertainty.

What does it really mean when people say "surrender it to God"? How do you do that and why do you have to continue to do it over and over again? This episode is filled with conversations around mentors, discipleship, surrender, prophetic words, hurtful girl culture, and moments of vulnerability while sharing personal stories.

Is drinking a sin? How do convictions shape us? What do our marriages show the world around us about God? Sometimes, it is in conversations that God begins to heal, sharpen, encourage, and shape us into His likeness.
