July 16, 2026Episode 294: Unsubscribing from Urgency: Why Jesus Isn't Grading Your Faith with Jessica Morris ❖ 294
Are you secretly exhausted from trying to get an "A" in your spiritual life?

In this laugh-filled reunion on the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, host Kristen Wambach welcomes back theological researcher and spiritual director Jessica Morris to dismantle the performance-driven engines of modern devotion. Together, they dive into Luke 9:23 to help you trade the legalistic courtroom of religious perfectionism for the effortless living room of grace. Pull up a chair to learn how to drop the burden of striving, step into a continuous spiritual flow, and find radical peace by unsubscribing from urgency.

Key Conversation Breakthroughs:
The Mirror of Spiritual Direction: We break down the quiet mystery of holding space, revealing why a spiritual director isn't there to fix your behavior but to help you drop your guard and rest in the Father's presence.
Balancing Trauma Excavation with Grace: We wrestle with inner healing, sharing how to prevent deep soul-work and "dying to self" from becoming a performance-based chore, anchoring you in wholeness instead.
Moving from Broken Cisterns to Absolute Peace: When people inevitably fail us, we explore how to anchor your inner stability solely in the unshakeable nature of Jesus.
The Paradigm Shift: From "Use" to "Flow": We challenge the idea of being a tool "used" by God, shifting instead to a blueprint of becoming open channels for the Holy Spirit to flow through effortlessly.
Luke 9:23 and Your True I Amness: Leaning into the Mirror Translation, we explore the liberating truth that His cross is your cross—fully finished so self-effort can finally stall out.
Jesus Isn't Grading Your Faith: Jessica shares a personal story that shatters her own religious scorecard, offering the profound relief that God isn't grading your performance.
Unsubscribing from Urgency: (Music Video) We unpack a live testimony from a recovery circle that redefines what it means to live in the "now." Learn how to identify frantic timelines as a trauma response and step firmly into the unhurried timing of a gentleman Savior.

July 13, 2026Episode 293: THE LIVE FEED: Finding Strength, Perseverance, Bathed in Peace: Not Settling for Less Than What He Has Offered by His Own Flesh ❖ 293
What if the most restrictive walls in your life aren't made of stone, but are built entirely from man's discord?
In this powerful episode of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, host Kristen Wambach dives deep into the profound reality of modern, invisible confinement—the suffocating pressure to perform, the weight of expectations, and the unexpected circumstances that threaten to shrink our world. When our immediate instinct in the friction is to beg for a supernatural jailbreak, we often miss the grander invitation of the Gospel.
Through His own flesh, Christ did something far more radical than merely smashing open exterior doors: He tuned our inner frequency to His own. He offered us an inheritance of strength, perseverance, and a life completely bathed in peace, immersing us into an incorruptible, immortal liberty that never requires permission from our surroundings to exist.
By shaking out the scriptures from Paul's prison epistles and contrasting his strategic sovereign rest with Peter's miraculous jailbreak in Acts 12, this episode shifts the paradigm of true Christian spiritual growth. You will discover that when you are fully unified with Him, freedom is no longer a destination you are running toward—it is the very atmosphere you carry right where you are. Stop settling for less than the absolute liberty He already purchased for you, and learn how to live spiritually brave in the middle of any environment.
What You Will Discover in This Episode:
The Architecture of the Invisible Cell: Recognizing the universal spiritual confinement created by performance culture and modern anxieties.
Tuned to His Frequency: How Christ’s sacrifice harmonized our mortal frame into the unchanging frequency of divine immortality.
Peter’s Escape vs. Paul’s Choice: Shaking out the text to see why Paul chose to stay behind bars to weaponize his confinement and broadcast the immortal Word.
Living Wide Open: Practical insights on bridging heaven and earth to carry absolute liberty as your daily atmosphere.

July 09, 2026Episode 292: “SUBJECT TO, NOT CENTRAL:” Dismantling the Performance Engine with Mick Wienholt ❖ 292
Every day we ask, "What would Jesus do?" But what if the deeper question is: "Who does Jesus say that I AM?" On this episode of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, host Kristen Wambach sits down with international podcaster Mick Wienholt (host of Coincidence or God) to dismantle the high-achieving performance engine we bring into our faith.

Mick unzips his history, showing how physical facts were overridden by supernatural reality. From surviving an avalanche in 2000 to the full-term stillbirth of his son, Luke, in 2012, Mick details how deep trauma shattered his pride and forced an absolute surrender. He exposes the exact moment in 2023 when the Holy Spirit delivered a specific pattern interrupt to his corporate career: "Because you are a created being, you are subject to, not central in, your own life."

Discover how to move from a comfortable, seated religion to a visceral, face-in-the-floorboards prayer encounter. Learn to stop functioning like a bucket trying to force control, and start living as a pipe that lets the Father's grace flow effortlessly on a practical Monday morning. It's time to lay down your targets and live Spiritually BRAVE!

💡 KEY TAKEAWAYS
Dismantle the Performance Engine: High-capacity believers easily use prayer as a checklist to fund their own ambitions. True sonship requires shifting focus from what you can execute to who He says you are apart from your performance.
Subject To, Not Central: Real intimacy begins when you realize your logic, targets, and desires are entirely subject to the King—He is the center of the template, not your personal provision metrics.
The Blueprint Precedes the Trauma: Naming a child "Luke" (Light-giving) while actively hating God proved that an eternal signature was already rewriting Mick's family tree.
Postural Surrender Breaks the Ego: Moving from a comfortable, seated prayer position to physically dropping to your knees with your face in the floorboards unmasks pride and deepens reliance on Holy Spirit promptings.
Be a Pipe, Not a Bucket: When you experience God as a loving Dad, you stop acting like a bucket hoarding control and become a pipe letting His inherent grace flow effortlessly to the world.

July 04, 2026 Episode 291: THE FREEDOM BAROMETER: Jesus, Galatians and Your Inalienable Right to Thrive | Manna MashUp: Soul Food Collection ❖ 291
What happens when a Baptist farm girl from Oregon is handed a heavenly assignment to check the shifting barometer of our cultural pressures on the nation's 250th birthday?
In this historic mash-up episode of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, host Kristen Wambach takes you on a profound, bilocational journey into the spirit realm to rediscover the true acoustic vibrations of freedom, legacy, and human dignity.
Confronted by the heavy, jarring discords filling our social media feeds and modern neighborhoods, Kristen stands in a room of remembrance to interweave four powerhouse foundations: the spiritual liberation of Galatians 4, the visionary architecture of the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights, the enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s "I Have a Dream" speech, and the absolute heart of Jesus.

This isn't an academic lecture on doctrine or a political debate—it is a practical path with raw stories, prayer, and simple activations designed to wake up the entrepreneurial dreamer inside of you. Kristen breaks down our unalienable, God-given rights not as abstract rules, but as the deep roots of a great tree that empowers you to self-govern, innovate, and safely pursue true happiness.
Tune in on this landmark July 4th to discover how your personal transformation, business ventures, and spiritual maturity compose a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. Your dreams are the ceilings of your reality. Learn how to tend your flickering inner flame, protect your God-given potential, and confidently weave your unique thread into the grand, divine tapestry of life.

June 26, 2026Episode 289: GOD, What am I Missing: with Heather O'Brien ❖ 289
Awareness is not the problem. The problem is that we don't know what to do with what we are aware of." — Heather O'Brien
What happens when a believer who knows all the right spiritual language is secretly battling a roaring tiger of anxiety? Welcome to the silent epidemic facing Christians who love Jesus deeply but still find themselves completely stuck.
In this powerful episode of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, host Kristen Wambach sits down with Spirit-led healing coach and host of the Heal with God Podcast, Heather O’Brien. Together, they strip away the exhausting weight of religious performance to deliver a practical, real-world roadmap for permanent breakthrough.
Heather vulnerably shares her journey from hiding chronic panic on a church pew to answering a whisper-quiet commission from the Holy Spirit: "Will you purify my bride?" If your prayers have felt ineffective or you are tired of throwing generalized words at the ceiling, this conversation will completely reset your communication with God. Learn why awareness of a problem isn't the same thing as healing, how we subtly domesticate our trauma like "spiritual pets," and how to uncover hidden strongholds before they take over your entire temple.

EPISODE TAKEAWAYS
The Mask of Spiritual Performance: Dismantling the unvoiced shame of loving Jesus while privately fighting daily emotional overwhelm or numbness.
The Feral Cat Compromise: How small identity compromises multiply like country stray cats and grow into roaring tigers loose in your living room.
The Exploding Milkshake Reality: A gritty, hilarious real-world look at why lingering bad behavioral fruit proves there is a hidden root that still needs an investigation.
The Root-Bound Reset: Shifting from surface adjustments to pulling up the roots below ground, drilling open waterways, and freeing your taproot connection to Jesus.

June 25, 2026 Episode 288: THE LIVE FEED: "Be Selfish and Consume Me" ❖ 288
Unfiltered Whispers from the Spirit...
What happens when a standard religious ritual turns into a radical invitation to absolute intimacy?
In this impromptu episode of The Live Feed, Kristen shares a raw, unfiltered word received straight from the communion table: "Be as selfish and consuming of my body and blood." If you are tired of living on spiritual crumbs, this episode is your invitation to aggressively feast on the finished work of Christ.
Unpacking the deep link between the mind-renewal of Ephesians 4 and the flesh-and-bone activation of James 2, Kristen breaks down how to take this supernatural infusion and embed it directly into your everyday body, mind, and spirit.

Stop trying to fix your old life. Tune in, consume His abundance, and let His life take over yours.

June 19, 2026Episode 287: Unlocking Heaven's Comfort and Practical Faith | Manna MashUp: Soul Food Collection ❖ 287
What do you do when the volume of life’s pain, distractions, or sudden storms drowns out the whisper of God’s voice?
In this powerful mashup episode of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, host Kristen Wambach brings together a raw, honest look at our deepest human moments with a strategic deep dive into the practical "technology" of faith. Whether you are navigating personal fear, emotional pressure, or feeling stuck at a crossroads of decision, this conversation delivers a safe path for your heart to move out of isolation and straight into the tangible presence of Heaven.
Joining Kristen is Pastor Dwayne Luard, founder of Grow Beyond Sunday, an organization dedicated to ending spiritual malnutrition in the body of Christ. Together, they pull back the curtain on why checking a religious box on Sunday leaves so many vulnerable to collapse when inevitable storms hit—and how you can build a resilient, Monday-morning lifestyle of faith instead.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
A Practical Path Through 4 Critical Moments: Immediate, action-oriented steps to take when you are afraid, in pain, met with silence, or don't know what to do next.
The Technology of Prayer: Why prayer is an authoritative responsibility to enforce what is already settled in Heaven right here into your earth, rather than a reactionary defense mechanism.
Tuning Out the Static: Cultivating an authentic, experiential intimacy that allows you to recognize the Father’s voice clearly, even in the middle of a noisy crowd.
The Power Couple Dynamic: An inside look at balancing execution, vision, and humility within marriage roles to honor each other's spiritual strengths without comparison or burden.
Removing the Blocks: A direct invitation to do the vital "heart work"—including letting go of hidden offenses and unforgiveness—to open up the windows of your spiritual senses for a fresh immersion of the Holy Spirit.
Stop settling for a form of godliness that lacks power. Tune in to receive an activation of your unique spiritual gifts, step off the boat of complacency, and start walking in the supernatural confidence of your sonship today.

June 11, 2026Episode 286: Trading the Canvas of Trauma for the Masterpiece of God! with Kate Massey ❖ 286
What do you do when your internal world doesn't match your Sunday theology? When you love God, but trauma, anxiety, or deep pain leaves you stuck?
In this episode of Interviewing Jesus, host Kristen Wambach bridges the gap between clinical mental health and supernatural deliverance. Sitting down with licensed counselor Kate Massey, author of Purpose in the Pain, we move past religious platitudes toward raw restoration.

Kate shares her journey of surviving trauma and the moments God met her in the mess to rewrite her reality. We tackle why we must stop running from our history, stop pretending the pain doesn't ache, and stop trying to just "suck it up." When we manage our own protection, we block the Holy Spirit from being our Comforter.

You do not define your own worth—the Master Artist already settled that on the cross. Your job is to surrender the brush, drop the exhaustion of people-pleasing, and let Him speak your true identity over your life.

👉 MOVE THIS TRUTH FROM YOUR HEAD TO YOUR HEART: Kate and Kristen have curated a special gift for you today. Download the Free printable PDF Listener Journal and Guide in the show notes to help you travel those heavy 18 inches from your head straight to your heart!

EPISODE TAKEAWAYS
Stop "Sucking It Up": Suppressing wounds and relying on self-coping mechanisms blocks the Holy Spirit from being your true Comforter.
Redefine Your Architecture: Past pain shapes your choices. Invite God into the raw truth of that ache to stop trauma from holding the steering wheel.
The Blueprint of Surrender: True humility is accepting that you aren't the painter of your life. Your worth is an immutable reality already settled by the Artist.
Gifts and Resilience: Unresolved friction often signals undeveloped spiritual gifts—like mercy or discernment—that require a mature community to anchor.
The 18-Inch Journey: Head knowledge cannot heal a broken heart. Use the Free PDF Listener Guide to bridge this gap and move kingdom truth into your physical body this week.

June 05, 2026Episode 285: Entering Heavenly Art Rooms: Shedding the Religious Matrix with Bracy Wevers ❖ 285
What happens when your career pivots, your body collapses, and standard religion fails to comfort you? My guest today, Bracy Wevers, survived a literal four-month physical and mental "death spiral" where white-knuckling her way through performance finally came to an end. If you are running on empty, this conversation is the exact green light your soul has been begging for to stop performing and start living.

The Relational Core
We aren’t trading theology—we are letting you listen in on a raw, unfiltered conversation between two friends who know what it looks like to hit rock bottom and find Jesus waiting right there on the floor. We talk about escaping the rigid religious "matrix," entering literal heavenly art rooms, and learning how to love the dark, messy pieces of your story just as much as the light ones.

Episode Takeaways
The Blueprint for Holy Surrender: Learn how to let your life completely unravel without losing your faith.

God Rewards Movement, Not Fear: You do not wait for the picture to be perfect before you act; restoration happens inside the motion.

The Power of Forced Rest: Sometimes, the most spiritual thing you can do is to lie down, stop talking, and let the Holy Spirit catch you in the uncreated darkness.
