I had the incredible honor of sitting down with Erica Rothenberger — keynote speaker, construction executive, entrepreneur, and audacious leader — for a conversation that left me inspired, grounded, and ready to step even more fully into the vision God has placed in my heart.

From the moment we hit record, Erica brought so much truth and depth. She opened up about what it means to say “yes” to the desires in your heart, even when they don’t fully make sense yet. As a mother of two, she’s walking through what she calls a “midlife awakening” — trading in people-pleasing for purpose, and small talk for soul-led leadership.

We talked about what it means to release the myth of balance and step into alignment, choosing integration and intention over burnout and busyness. Erica shares how she writes down three audacious goals every single day and walks us through the practice of "audacious expansion" — also the title of her upcoming book (out January 2026!).

But what truly moved me was Erica’s willingness to share a deeply personal and powerful story of resilience — how a moment of deep trauma became a catalyst for profound transformation. She reminds us that resilience isn’t just about pushing through — it’s about learning when to rest, when to rise, and how to own your story with courage and clarity.

Whether you're in a season of rebuilding, realignment, or radical action, this episode is for you. Get ready to feel seen, challenged, and wildly encouraged to take bold steps toward your dreams.

Tune in now — and don’t forget to share this episode with a friend who’s ready to say yes to their own audacious journey.

Jase shares his unconventional testimony for I Am Second in the same white chair once signed by Phil—and only learns that after the fact. Al returns to Phil and Kay’s house for the first time since his passing to film marriage content with Lisa, and the experience hits him harder than expected. As "The Blind" prepares for a special re-release with new footage, they reflect on how Phil’s story continues to impact lives. The guys dive into John 13 and explore how God's timing transforms ordinary moments into sacred ones.

In this episode: John 13; Ephesians 1, verses 9–10; Ephesians 2, verse 12; Ephesians 5, verse 15; Ephesians 6, verse 18; Galatians 4, verse 4; 1 Corinthians 10, verse 26; Exodus 19; Mark 1, verse 15

Sadie's cousin (and biggest hype girl!), Mia Robertson, is in the studio spilling all the tea about her life lately! From mission trips and leading worship to working at Camp Ch-Yo-Ca and her dating adventures, nothing’s off the table. Sadie also hits her with some audience questions you guys sent in. They dive into why Phil and Kay Robertson's love story is basically The Notebook IRL and how their relationship has been such a strong example for Mia as she’s on the hunt for a good guy. Plus, Mia gets super real about how being on TV with her cleft lip and palate started out as her absolute worst nightmare, but now she’s genuinely grateful to God for the journey it’s taken her on.
