Does God have a sense of humor?

Some people think faith and laughter don’t belong together, but what if humor is actually a gift from God?

In this episode of Honest Christian Conversations, I sit down with Pastor Michael Dennis to talk about his unexpected journey from preaching in the pulpit to performing in comedy clubs. What began as a simple bucket-list challenge eventually became a meaningful way for him to connect with people who might never step inside a church.

In this conversation, we explore how laughter can open doors for genuine connection and how humor can be used as a tool to share faith in unexpected places.

Should Christians talk to people who disagree with their values?

In today’s culture, disagreements about faith, morality, and biblical truth can quickly become tense or divisive. Some believers may wonder whether it’s better to avoid those conversations altogether.

In this minisode of Honest Christian Conversations, I explore how Christians can approach difficult conversations with people who hold different beliefs or values. Is it possible to stand firmly in biblical truth while still engaging others with humility, wisdom, and love?

This episode discusses how followers of Christ can navigate disagreement without compromising their convictions or losing their witness.

Do you have a problem with Jesus?

It’s a question that might sound surprising, but for many people, faith comes with difficult questions, doubts, and moments of resistance.

In this episode of Honest Christian Conversations, I chat with author Constance Hastings to talk about the bold title of her book, The Trouble with Jesus, and the deeper message behind it.

Constance knew the title would raise eyebrows, but her goal was to open an honest conversation for people who are wrestling with their faith or struggling to understand who Jesus truly is.

Why can’t I stop this sinful behavior?

Many Christians wrestle with habits, patterns, or sins they desperately want to leave behind but find themselves returning to again and again. This struggle can lead to guilt, frustration, and even the feeling that something is wrong with our faith.

In this minisode of Honest Christian Conversations, I discuss the spiritual battle many believers face as they try to break free from sinful behavior. Why do some patterns feel so difficult to overcome? And what does the Bible say about transformation and freedom in Christ?

Have you ever been afraid to ask a question about your faith because you thought it might sound dumb?

You’re not alone. Many believers wrestle with doubts, confusion, or curiosity, but hesitate to ask questions for fear of judgment or embarrassment.

In this episode of Honest Christian Conversations, I sit down with podcast host Cassian Bellino to discuss the power of spiritual curiosity and why asking questions is so important to growing in faith.

In this honest and personal conversation, we explore how questions can deepen our understanding of God and strengthen our walk with Jesus.

What does it really mean to give everything for Christ?

Jesus often spoke about the cost of following Him. He called His followers to deny themselves, take up their cross, and surrender their lives fully to God. But what does that actually look like in everyday life?

In this minisode of Honest Christian Conversations, I reflect on what it means to truly surrender to Christ. Many believers want to follow Jesus wholeheartedly, but the idea of “giving everything” can feel overwhelming or unclear.

This episode explores the heart behind biblical surrender and why trusting Christ with every part of our lives is central to Christian discipleship.

Do you know what the Great Commission is—and are you living it out?

Before ascending into heaven, Jesus gave His followers a clear mission: go into the world and share the gospel. But what does that look like in everyday life?

In this episode of Honest Christian Conversations, I sit down with Kari Hunnicutt to discuss how travel and adventure have shaped her family's approach to faith and the Great Commission.

Kari shares how exploring new places has opened doors for meaningful conversations about Jesus and encouraged her family to see the world through the lens of God’s mission.

Do you struggle to create a consistent Bible study routine?

For many Christians, spending time in God’s Word can feel difficult to maintain amid busy seasons of life. Whether you're a new parent with very little quiet time, managing a full household, or entering a season with more flexibility, building a meaningful routine with God often looks different for everyone.

In this minisode of Honest Christian Conversations, I talk about the challenge of creating a Bible study routine that fits your real life—not someone else’s expectations.

Instead of striving for a “perfect” quiet time, this episode encourages believers to focus on consistency, grace, and building a rhythm of seeking God in everyday life.

Has your relationship with God started to feel stale or routine?

Sometimes life becomes so busy that our time with God slowly slips to the background. We still believe, but our spiritual life can begin to feel dry, distracted, or stuck in a plateau.

In this episode of Honest Christian Conversations, I talk with Debbie Howell about how believers can rediscover purpose and transformation in their walk with Jesus—even in the middle of busy seasons of life.

Whether you are raising children, navigating a demanding schedule, or simply feeling spiritually stuck, this conversation offers encouragement and practical insight for building a deeper connection with God.

Am I really ready to follow Jesus wherever He leads?

After my recent conversation with George Sisneros, I found myself wrestling with a challenging question. George shared how God called him to walk away from what many would consider the American Dream to follow Christ more fully.

In this minisode of Honest Christian Conversations, I reflect on that conversation and the spiritual conviction it stirred in my own heart. Listening to George’s story forced me to ask myself a difficult but important question: If God asked me to surrender everything, would I be ready?
