In this intro episode, we talk about what it looks like to bring Fueled By Trial back for Season 2 and why this new chapter feels different. We share how our lives have changed, why we wanted to return to the mic together, and the heart behind creating honest conversations about walking through trials with God.

This episode isn’t about telling every detail of our story just yet. It’s a look at where we’ve been, what we’ve learned, and what we hope this season becomes. We open up about marriage, faith, growth, and the real-life challenges that are shaping us in our current stage of life.

If you're here for something authentic, encouraging, and rooted in hope, this episode sets the tone for everything ahead. We’re grateful to be back and excited to walk through this new season with you.

In this episode, we sit down with Steven Thomas, the leader of Thomas Road Young Adults at Thomas Road Baptist Church. Steven shares his testimony (God's story) from a childhood marked by nightmares and the challenges of having a father imprisoned for the gospel to finding his calling as a pastor and child of God. He opens up about the nightmares that once haunted him, the importance of community and accountability in this Christian life, and how seeking help can transform your path. This episode is a testament to the power of faith, resilience, and the impact of personal testimony.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Emily Meyer (emilyjomeyer), who shares her journey of walking through anorexia and finding true freedom by surrendering control to God. Emily opens up about her struggles with self-image and perfectionism and how the LORD worked through little moments to impact her and draw her back to the kingdom. With vulnerability, she reflects on the transformative power of trust in God and offers a message of hope. Whether you’re facing your own challenges or seeking inspiration, Emily’s testimony serves as a powerful reminder of the healing that faith can bring and the freedom found in giving up control.

In this episode, we are joined by Jodie (yes another South African!) and she shares about the morning that she felt a change in her heart. Have you ever had a quiet moment like that with God? What did you do with that moment? If it wasn't a catalyst then, then we hope it is now and you cherish those moments with God. When we search for Him then God will provide, maybe not always in the way we expect but He will. God does not want just the bare minimum, He wants all of us.

Search and Yearn for that quiet time with God.

In this episode, we are joined by Nicaise Muamba as he discusses the early success he had on his athletic journey and the identity that was formed because of that. Like life, though athletics has its fair share of mountains and valleys and Nicaise walks us through some of those experiences and how God was always working. The invitation to have a relationship with our Father in Heaven is always extended and we just need to reach for it like He is reaching for us.

Mile Marker 16! Welcome back and boy do we have a great testimony for you to hear. As we are joined by Micah we discuss how his story went from the "basic" Christian story to one that held a new set of trials. God was never done working in his life, and Micah decided to draw closer to God in that moment. When life and the storms we face get stronger we must remember that our God is greater and only by his grace can we make it through.

Join us as we welcome Zion and Christiaan's former teammates who during his time at Liberty came to a relationship with our heavenly Father.
