I sit down with Shayla Webb — attorney, entrepreneur, and founder of The AromaRoom in Carmel, IN — to share her powerful journey through suffering, surrender, and healing. In 2023, Shayla was diagnosed with a brain tumor and underwent two major surgeries, including a full craniotomy. The recovery was nothing short of life-altering: she lost her vision temporarily, had to relearn how to walk, and faced emotional and physical challenges that tested her faith to the core.

In this episode, Shayla vulnerably shares:

 * What it was like to face a diagnosis that turned her life upside down
 * How she wrestled with God in her suffering and still chose to stay with Him
 * What it really looks like to fully surrender every part of your life
 * How her healing journey led to the creation of The AromaRoom, a space for intentional breath, restoration, and peace

Shayla’s story is a powerful reminder that God can be trusted with all our needs, and that even when we feel broken, we are not beyond restoration.

🎧 Tune in to hear how one woman’s pain became her purpose — and how healing often begins with one deep, intentional breath.

I sit down with Shannoh Harris, a woman whose faith was forged in the hardest season of her life. Shannoh didn't grow up in a Christian home — it wasn't until her marriage that she came to know the Lord and put her trust in Him. But when her marriage fell apart and her ex-husband came out as transgender, Shannoh faced an unimaginable battle. During their divorce and custody trial, the court removed her second-oldest son from her care, ruling that her Christian beliefs made her home “unsafe.”

For 21 months, Shannoh walked a painful road of separation from her son, forced to surrender him — and herself — into God’s hands. With nothing but God’s promises in Scripture and her deep faith in His ability to redeem all things, Shannoh chose to trust and wait on the Lord’s timing. Her story is a powerful testimony to the peace, hope, and transformation that come from letting go of control and resting in God’s perfect will.

In this episode, we talk honestly about what it means to surrender, wrestle with doubts, and ultimately believe that God is at work — even in the darkest nights.

I sit down with Karen Alter, CEO of Boshoff Advertising and one of the three dynamic women behind the agency’s success. Karen shares what it’s like to be a Christian woman in the advertising world, how she got her start in the industry, and what it takes to run a thriving business in a fast-paced and often value-challenging field.

But what makes this conversation truly unforgettable is Karen’s deeply personal story — one that may stretch the way some in the Christian community think about faith, calling, and motherhood.

After years of walking through infertility and preparing to adopt, God showed up in the most unexpected way: one of her business partners felt led by the Lord to carry Karen’s child. What followed was nothing short of miraculous — a journey of surrender, friendship, divine provision, and a deeper relationship with God.

This episode is an honest, grace-filled look at:

• Being bold in your faith in the workplace
• Finding God in the waiting
• The beauty of spiritual obedience
• And how God writes stories we could never imagine for ourselves

You’ll walk away reminded that God is in the details — even in boardrooms, battles with infertility, and bold conversations between friends.

Sister Time!!  We sit down for another deep dive into Scripture — this time into John chapters 9 and 10.

We’ve read these chapters multiple times, dug into trusted commentaries, and even called up our pastors for help understanding how Jesus’ words and actions still speak powerfully today.

What does it mean to really see — spiritually?
 What kind of Shepherd is Jesus, and what kind of sheep are we?
 And how would Jesus respond to the world we’re living in now?

We wrestle with those questions and how we long to live more like Jesus into every moment of this discussion.

Here are 5 biblical truths we unpack from John 9 & 10:

1. Jesus sees what others overlook – (John 9:1-3) The man born blind wasn’t cursed; his healing would display God's glory.
2. Religious status doesn’t equal spiritual sight – (John 9:39-41) Some who claimed to "see" were actually blind to truth.
3. Jesus is the Good Shepherd – (John 10:11) He lays down His life for the sheep — not out of obligation, but love.
4. His sheep know His voice – (John 10:27) We can learn to hear, trust, and follow the voice of our Savior.
5. No one can snatch us from His hand – (John 10:28-29) Jesus offers eternal security and belonging to those who follow Him.

This episode is for anyone who wants to dig into the Word in a real, approachable way — and discover how ancient truths still shape our lives today.

This week, I sit down with Clyde Cowles — a man whose life is a living testimony to the redeeming grace and power of God. Clyde spent 50 years trapped in addiction. It all started as a teenager with his first hit of PCP, and from there, his life spiraled into decades of brokenness — costing him his marriage, his children, and nearly his future.But God. One day, while sitting on a park bench about to smoke a joint, Clyde heard the undeniable voice of the Lord: “Quit your destructive ways and follow Me.”And from that moment on, everything changed. No turning back. No desire to return. Just a heart fully surrendered.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders... and run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” – Hebrews 12:1
 
I sit down with Taylor Hogan to talk about the seasons that shape us and the God who remains faithful through them all. Taylor shares her powerful journey of:
