What if the thing you do for fun is the door to your calling? We sit down with Brian, a bowhunter-turned-barbecue craftsman, whose $169 smoker and five months of relentless jerky experiments led to a nationwide business—and then to something even bigger: a daily, live Scripture practice that thousands now join on TikTok as Read the Bible with Pawpaw.

Brian walks us through the winding road from Silas, Alabama to a USDA facility in Mississippi, and the mentors who sharpened his craft. Then he takes us to a sunrise moment that changed his life: a clear, personal call to be an evangelist—not by title, but by action. That call became a simple routine with surprising reach: show up at 6:30 a.m. Central, read the Word without labels, and trust God to do the heart work. We talk consistency, handling trolls, adding moderators, and why opinion can only motivate while Scripture transforms. You’ll hear how Psalm 91 steadies anxious minds, how Psalm 34 restores joy, and how speaking God’s promises becomes real spiritual warfare against shame and intimidation.

This conversation is a blueprint for purpose in the digital age. Whether you’re a cook, electrician, or coder, excellence can open doors that sermons can’t. Brian shares how a small, faithful practice sparked a growing community of readers and a 13‑week Rooted discipleship rhythm. If you’re restless or unsure where to begin, you’ll find practical steps to start where you are, use what you have, and let truth be your shield and buckler. Join us for a story that blends barbecue smoke, Scripture, and everyday courage—and leave ready to turn your skill into service, your routine into witness, and your platform into purpose.

What if your biggest dream is supposed to be too big for you? We open our notebooks and our hearts with guest Kandi Anderson Farris to explore how God-sized goals pull us out of autopilot and into a life marked by obedience, courage, and everyday faithfulness. The tension is real: God's promises are sure, yet He invites us to move our feet, prepare the horse, and trust Him for the victory only He can deliver.

Candy shares how seasons of rest can become training grounds for the next assignment—how a back porch, a deeper prayer life, and steady time in Scripture turn boredom into readiness. We talk about quitting and why perseverance matters when doors close and feelings fade. You’ll hear how small acts—writing a note, making a call, offering a smile—can carry eternal weight, and how a “wrong number” moment turned into discipleship because someone stayed open to God’s nudge.

We press into identity and calling without comparison. You’re not meant to be someone else’s hand or foot; you’re called to be you, fully. We look at failure through a biblical lens, where imperfect people meet perfect grace, bring their fragments to Jesus, and see nothing wasted. Expect practical takeaways you can use today: ask God for your daily assignment, head north instead of circling the mountain, and bring Jesus into every room—home, workplace, and community—so hope grows from the inside out.

 So many people are stepping into 2026 carrying the weight of years that bruised them—disappointment, burnout, regret, and unanswered prayers. But here's the truth we forget: God is not a gatekeeper of shame. He's a Father of open doors. Grace isn't something we chase; it's something that chases us. The opportunities God brings aren't rewards for perfect faith—they're expressions of His relentless love. If you feel unqualified, exhausted, or unsure, you're exactly the kind of person grace was made for. This next season isn't about proving yourself—it's about trusting the One who already believes in you.

What if the parts of you that feel disqualified are exactly where Christmas begins? We sit with real questions from real people—about doubt, shame, loneliness, and whether God is angry—and respond with a clear, hopeful claim: grace moves first. Not the kind of grace that asks you to pretend, but the kind that meets you in the mess and won’t let go.

We unpack why the birth of Jesus is more than a nostalgic scene. If God stepped into our world, then love came looking for the skeptic, the misfit, and the tired soul who can’t fix themselves. We talk about self-worth through a different lens, where identity is anchored in what Jesus finished, not how well we perform. That flips the script on fear. Perfect love casts out fear because punishment isn’t hanging over believers; the cross settled it. From there, change stops being a threat and becomes a response—desires shift, habits soften, and peace begins to outrun anxiety.

We also push back on comparisons. No one gets extra portions of the Holy Spirit for looking polished. You’re complete in Christ, and your journey is personal, not a scoreboard. Honest conversations with God—over coffee, on a commute, or in quiet—are not rituals to impress but practices that tune your heart to his presence. And if the holidays hurt this year, we sit with that too. Jesus is near to the brokenhearted, and small steps toward community, prayer, and honesty can open space for comfort to do its slow, steady work.

If you’re ready for hope that doesn’t flinch and peace that doesn’t depend on perfect circumstances, press play. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a review with one takeaway that gave you courage.

Winter brings more than candles and carols; it brings a question about light, place, and purpose. We walk the Feast of Dedication in John 10 where Jesus moves through Solomon’s Porch, then follow that light into the contested ground of the Temple Mount, the timing of October 7, and the long memory of names that tried to erase Israel. Jonathan Cahn’s teaching draws a straight line from Hanukkah’s rededication to today’s headlines, showing how desecration targets sacred time and space—and why that same struggle shows up in our own hearts.

We explore why Hanukkah is eight days by returning to the Feast of Tabernacles, not the later oil legend, and how reclaiming a missed holy day became an act of resistance. We trace how “Palestine” emerged from Philistia after the Bar Kokhba revolt and how Hadrian’s renaming of Jerusalem echoed the Greek desecration tied to Zeus. Along the way, we connect Al-Aqsa, Operation naming, and the Temple Mount to a much older conflict over worship and identity. The thread continues through Revelation 12, where the dragon aims to devour before the promise is born. That preemptive tactic explains both ancient persecutions and modern campaigns—and it explains why your calling faces its fiercest pushback just before fruit appears.

The most personal turn arrives when we remember that we are now the temple. Rededication is not seasonal; it is daily. Clearing idols looks like silencing hurry, shedding religious busywork, and letting Jesus reign from the center. If you’re following God and the pressure spikes, read it as a signal, not a sentence: the enemy does not waste ammunition on empty futures. Pray, return to the Word, and rekindle first love. Light spreads from the center out, and even in the darkest season, a dedicated heart shines.

What if the loudest voice in your head isn’t the truest one? We open with a hard look at leadership and loyalty, then move into a deeply personal story that redefines success, courage, and faith. Bonnie shares how early loss, caregiving, and four miscarriages shaped her life, and how a breaking-point prayer led to a lasting peace she didn’t think was possible. She explains how lies of worthlessness were exposed as spiritual attacks, how she learned to take thoughts captive, and why that daily choice changed her mind, her body, and her future.

We walk through a chain of grace-filled moments: a family prayer for Disney on Ice tickets answered at just the right time, a lyric about cancer disappearing that coincided with a powerful inner assurance, and a follow-up oncology visit with no cancerous cells detected. Alongside the miracles, we talk about the steady disciplines that hold when circumstances shake—prayer, Scripture, and the science-backed practice of rewiring thought patterns. The foster story running through it all is striking: after four miscarriages, four foster children enter their home, and their growing faith becomes a living picture of redemption and purpose.

We also break down fear versus peace from a gospel lens. Perfect love casts out fear because, in Christ, punishment is off the table. That truth makes room for a sound mind, bold choices, and a future anchored in grace. Whether you’re battling anxiety, feeling stuck, or trying to lead with integrity, this conversation offers practical steps and honest hope: speak life, take thoughts captive, and choose the peace Jesus has already offered. If you’re ready to trade dread for purpose, your next step might be as close as a prayer.

What if your future isn’t determined by your last setback but by the wisdom you choose to seek today? We explore how faith can turn confusion into clarity and transform everyday choices into a life filled with peace, purpose, and courage. From identity to discipline, forgiveness to prayer, you’ll hear how aligning with God’s design helps you fail forward, embrace change, and protect your mind in a noisy world.

We dig into practical steps that make belief actionable. You’ll learn why owning your choices unlocks momentum, how seeking wisdom (not just information) reshapes your direction, and why curating your inputs matters for your mood, health, and relationships. We talk about becoming the person you were uniquely crafted to be instead of chasing comparisons, and we get honest about seasons we don’t like—how gratitude and trust in those moments become tools for growth rather than reasons to quit.

You’ll also hear candid stories about losing a job, finding guidance in unexpected places, and discovering that the right place can look like the wrong place until faith reframes it. We connect spiritual habits to daily outcomes: exercising as stewardship, forgiving to reclaim energy, praying for success with clean motives, and listening for the still small voice that can save you from costly mistakes. If you’re tired of drifting and ready for a clear compass, this conversation offers both hope and a roadmap.

If this helped you regain focus and courage, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review so more people can find real hope and practical wisdom.

Holiday magic is better when it has a mission. We pull back the curtain on the Ron Myers Christmas City Gift Show and trace its unlikely rise from a post–Air Force leap of faith to a 42-year Gulf Coast tradition that funds ministries, lifts small businesses, and welcomes thousands into a thoughtfully designed shopping experience.

We start with the spark: a first-time event that proved ideas can move people, then the steady steps that followed—flea markets, a seasonal pivot, and a prayerful leap to the Mississippi Coast Coliseum. Along the way, we break down what makes Christmas City work at scale: 300+ curated booths, Breakfast with Santa for families, and the adults-only Shopper’s Paradise with live music, wine, and a relaxed pace. Even operational tweaks like widening aisles in 2020 turned a crisis constraint into a permanent comfort, reshaping how guests browse, connect with vendors, and make memories.

Beyond the booths, we explore impact. Christmas City helps fund Ron Myers Ministries, supporting Christian rehab centers, anti-trafficking efforts, missions, and values-driven media. It also delivers a timely economic boost after the summer season, filling hotels and restaurants and earning recognition as a top 20 tourism event in the Southeast. Vendors benefit from curation that values quality and variety, a selection process that raises the bar, and a community vibe that turns door prizes and promo exchanges into shared momentum.

Threaded through the story is a clear throughline of faith, perseverance, and purpose. Ron talks candidly about setbacks—from hurricanes to pandemics—and the steady commitment that kept the vision alive. For entrepreneurs and dreamers, this is a blueprint: start where you are, serve people well, and build systems that honor both experience and impact.

Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves meaningful holiday traditions, and leave a review to help others find the show. What would you ask Ron about the “secret sauce” that keeps a community coming back year after year?

What would you do if grief knocked the breath out of your life? We sit down with Janice, a military mom who lost her son Sean, an Air Force firefighter with a bright smile and stubborn independence, to suicide. Her story doesn’t end at the funeral. It turns—quietly, defiantly—into a mission: start real conversations, craft memorials that spark healing, and give people a safe place to say the hard parts out loud.

Janice takes us into the day everything changed and the slow, courageous decisions that followed: leaving a steady job, launching “Sean’s Story,” and transforming a craft table into a lifeline. She shares how remembrance decals and hand-painted tumblers aren’t just products; they’re prompts for the conversations that save lives. We unpack practical steps for helping loved ones at risk—recognizing behavior changes, asking direct questions, staying present, and connecting people with resources like 1-800-273-TALK—while pushing back against the silence that isolates so many families.

We also dive into a clear, grace-centered look at freedom in Christ. No spiritual hustling. No worthiness ladder. Just the steady truth that we are free from the crushing weight of the law, no longer ruled by sin, guided by the Spirit, and uncondemned. If you’ve ever felt judged, unworthy, or tired of trying to earn God’s favor, this conversation is a breath you can finally take. Acceptance is received, not achieved—and from that place of security, we can show up for ourselves and for each other.

Listen for a mix of raw honesty, practical tools, and steady hope. If this resonates, share it with someone who needs to hear “you matter” today. Subscribe, leave a review to help others find the show, and tell us: who will you check on this week?
