HouseFires Movement Podcast

In this episode, Halie sits down with CJ and Leana to share her powerful testimony.

What began as a life marked by anxiety, addiction, broken relationships, and the adult entertainment industry became a story of radical transformation through an encounter with Christ. Halie opens up about the reality behind that lifestyle, the pull of identity and money, and the tension of walking out conviction when God began calling her out.

This isn’t just a story about where she came from, it’s about what surrender actually looks like. Through it all, her story points to a God who still rescues, restores, and completely transforms lives.

If you’ve ever wondered whether real change is possible, this conversation is a reminder that Jesus still sets people free...and no one is too far gone for Him to reach.

Follow Halie and hear more of what God is doing through her:

Nick and CJ sit down with John Duncan to talk about men, discipleship, and the call to biblical responsibility. They unpack why many men feel disengaged in the Church today, how fatherlessness and culture play a role, and why discipleship and spiritual fatherhood are essential for the next generation.

This conversation isn’t meant to condemn men, but to encourage and equip them. Together, they point toward a deeper understanding of identity in Christ and the responsibility men are called to carry in their homes, churches, and communities.

In this episode of the House Fires Movement Podcast, we respond to questions from people who feel called to start gatherings, ministries, or new expressions of church. Rather than offering a formula, we share lessons we’ve learned about heart posture, preparation, and obedience when stepping into something God may be leading.

We talk about the importance of examining motives, letting God prepare you in hidden seasons, and surrounding yourself with healthy accountability and community. We also discuss why character and discipleship must come before gifting, how to recognize your calling without trying to be everything to everyone, and why simplicity and dependence on the Holy Spirit matter more than production or numbers.

We also share practical encouragement about spiritual warfare, boundaries, and perseverance, along with a few final exhortations for anyone sensing God stirring something new in their life.

If you feel called to pioneer, lead, or open your home, we hope this conversation encourages you to move forward with humility, wisdom, and a heart to please God above all else.

From viral sermons to prophetic accountability to Christian freedom, this episode covers several topics shaping today’s church culture. We discuss grace and surrender, testing what we hear, the importance of fear of the Lord, and how to speak truth in love without drifting into judgment or compromise. It’s a wide-ranging conversation, but the heart is simple: helping the church stay rooted in Scripture, humility, and real transformation.

In this episode of the HouseFires Movement Podcast, CJ, Nick, and Mason talk about a kind of revival that does not rely on hype or constant excitement. They explore how boredom, stillness, and spiritual discipline are often where God does His deepest work.

The conversation challenges revival culture that chases emotional highs and asks a harder question. What happens when the room is quiet and it is just you and Jesus? Drawing from Scripture and personal stories, they point to Acts 2 as a model of revival that produced devotion, repentance, community, and lasting fruit.

This episode is an encouragement for anyone who feels weary of chasing experiences or perhaps you aren't aware yet that's what you're doing, but you long for a steady, rooted walk with Christ. It's only in that place we'll see revival that grows through faithfulness, obedience, and daily surrender.

In this episode of the House Fires Movement Podcast, we talk honestly about modesty in the church - for women and men.

CJ, Leana, Leah, and special guest Niah share how Jesus reshaped their view of beauty, worth, and identity, and why modesty is less about strict dress codes and more about the heart and reflecting Christ.

We cover:

Why modesty feels triggering & misunderstood

How culture & social media shape our view of beauty

What Scripture says (1 Peter 3, 1 Corinthians 6, Titus 2, Proverbs 31)

How modesty protects dignity, identity, and purpose

A challenge to both women and men about attention, platform, and self-control

If you’ve ever wrestled with feeling “not enough” or pressured to be seen, this conversation will point you back to being known and loved by God.

In this episode of the House Fires Movement podcast, we dive into why the process matters just as much as the calling itself. CJ and Leana unpack the pressure to rush ahead, the impact of social media on calling culture, and the danger of mistaking passion for maturity. They share their own journey through seasons of pruning, hiddenness, correction, and consecration. They also highlight biblical examples like David, Joseph, Moses, and Paul to show how God forms character long before He opens doors.

If you have ever felt behind, impatient, or eager to step into what God has spoken, this episode will encourage you to slow down, root deep, and let God prepare you for longevity, not hype.

What does Jesus actually mean when He says, “Blessed are the peacemakers” (Matthew 5:9)? In this episode, CJ, Nick, and Leah unpack why peacemakers are not the same as peacekeepers; and why avoiding conflict or stirring it up are both out of step with the heart of God.

Too often, we confuse keeping the peace with making peace. Avoiding conflict instead of restoring what’s broken. This episode dives into the difference between peacekeepers, who fear confrontation; conflict makers, who thrive on drama; and peacemakers, who courageously pursue reconciliation, wholeness, and truth in love.

If you’re a pastor, leader, or believer longing for healthier community culture (and fewer “peacekeeping” explosions), this conversation will challenge and equip you to confront with love, correct with humility, and pursue unity without compromising truth.

Nick, CJ, Leana, and Leah talk about what it means to live set apart in a culture that treats darkness like entertainment. They walk through the roots of Halloween, what Scripture says about the occult and celebrating death, and why some things are a clear no for believers. They also talk about the gray areas, personal conviction, and how to stay in unity without slipping into compromise or becoming legalistic. The goal is not to be “the church that hates Halloween,” but to be a people marked by holiness, love, and the real power of Jesus.

In this deeply personal and faith-filled episode of the House Fires Movement Podcast, CJ and Nick are joined by their wives, Leana and Kayla, for an emotional conversation about miscarriage, grief, and finding hope through faith. Both couples share their own stories of loss, from the heartbreak of early miscarriages to the long road of waiting and the spiritual wrestling that followed.

Together, they reflect on loss, the ways faith can remain steadfast even in confusion, and how healing often begins when silence is broken. This episode is an honest, raw, and hope-filled reminder that God’s presence remains even in our deepest losses, and that sharing our pain can bring light to others walking the same road.
