In Part 2 of my conversation with Megan Babcock, we go deeper—into marriage, legacy, and what it means to live with purpose that endures. Megan shares how faith has shaped her journey as a wife, mother, and mentor, and how she continues to walk in obedience even when the path requires surrender.

Together, we talk about building a legacy that reflects God’s goodness, pursuing healing within marriage, and living a life anchored in eternal purpose. This episode will remind you that God writes redemption stories not just for us, but through us.

Listen now to be encouraged to live, love, and lead with joy that lasts.

¿Alguna vez te has preguntado por qué, a pesar de orar y leer la Biblia, sientes que la gracia de Dios no fluye en tu vida? En este episodio exploramos los 3 bloqueadores de la gracia enseñados por Brad Bigney —orgullo, amargura e idolatría— y cómo reconocerlos desde una perspectiva bíblica y práctica.

Acompáñame mientras descubrimos:

• Cómo el orgullo nos hace resistir la ayuda de Dios (Santiago 4:6)
• Cómo la amargura envenena el alma y bloquea la gracia (Hebreos 12:15)
• Cómo la idolatría del corazón nos roba la misericordia de Dios (Jonás 2:8)

Aprenderás a identificar estos patrones, entender su raíz espiritual y reemplazarlos por humildad, perdón y adoración verdadera.
 La gracia no se gana, pero sí se recibe,  y a veces, lo único que necesitamos es remover lo que la está bloqueando.

Versículos clave: Santiago 4:6, Hebreos 12:15, Jonás 2:8

This week on From Damaged to Dangerous, Lynn welcomes her dear friend Kate Battistelli for a heartfelt conversation about faith, obedience, and embracing the unexpected paths God leads us on. Kate, a former Broadway actress turned author and speaker, shares her unique journey from the bright lights of The King and I to discovering God at 29 and eventually stepping into ministry and writing through what she calls “God dares.”

You’ll hear Kate’s honest reflections on the twists and turns of her life—how she learned to “do it afraid,” the powerful moment she accepted Jesus alongside her husband in an unlikely church setting, and how their daughter Francesca’s rise in Christian music was shaped by their faith and experiences.

Kate opens up about raising Francesca with purpose, the challenges and blessings of the empty nest season, and why she believes “mom is not your only name.” She encourages listeners to seek God’s purpose for their lives, embrace mentorship, and stay steadfast even when the world feels chaotic.

Whether you’re navigating your own life transitions or wrestling with what obedience looks like in your faith, this episode offers wisdom, encouragement, and a reminder that God’s plans often come in surprising ways.

Kate Battistelli is an author, speaker, former Broadway actress, and mother of Grammy Award-winning Christian music artist Francesca Battistelli. Known for her bestselling books The God Dare, Growing Great Kids, and The After Party of the Empty Nest, Kate helps women rediscover purpose beyond parenting years. From the stage lights of Broadway to a life devoted to ministry and writing, Kate’s mission is to inspire others to say yes when God dares them to believe the impossible. She lives in Franklin, Tennessee with her husband Mike and is grandmother to seven grandchildren. You can learn more about Kate and access resources at https://katebattistelli.com/

If you grew up watching MTV… if you’ve ever listened to a podcast… or if you’ve simply existed on the internet in the last 20 years… you’ve been impacted by today’s guest, whether you knew it or not.

Adam Curry — former MTV icon, media pioneer, and co-inventor of podcasting — joins me for a conversation that honestly feels like a movie. Most people know him as the Podfather… but very few know the plot twist that happened at age 58, when God interrupted his life and everything changed.

In today’s episode, Adam opens up about:
✨ His wild behind-the-scenes years at MTV
✨ How the early days of the internet and podcasting REALLY unfolded
✨ The moment he realized the life he built wasn’t enough
✨ His unexpected, late-life encounter with Jesus
✨ What it looked like to learn hearing God’s voice for the first time
✨ The surprising ways God had been chasing him for decades
✨ The spiritual battle inside the media world (and what Christians miss)
✨ How God repurposed his ENTIRE career for Kingdom impact

And then… we talk about Godcaster — Adam’s bold new mission to raise up 1,000 Christian voices and build a future where churches, ministries, and everyday believers become the broadcasters of hope in their communities.

This conversation is raw, fascinating, tender, and honestly one of the most hope-stirring testimonies you’ll hear this year. If you’ve ever wondered:

“Is it too late for me?”
“Does God still speak?”
“Could God use my story… even the messy parts?”

…Adam’s story is your YES.

Grab your coffee and buckle up — this episode is a ride.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL HEAR:

00:02 — The MTV years and the media revolution Adam never saw coming
07:45 — How a kid building pirate radio transmitters at 13 became the Podfather
15:10 — The moment Adam realized the life he built wasn’t enough
