    Send me a text and let me know your thoughts!

    In this episode of 'Just Talking About Jesus,' youth pastor Kellen Peterson shares his transformative journey from a troubled youth to a leader in ministry. 

    Kellen recounts how his early rebelliousness eventually led him to a role where he could make a meaningful impact. 

    He emphasizes the importance of showing empathy and compassion, particularly to those on the fringes. 

    Kellen reflects on the challenges that today's youth face, from the isolating effects of social media to negative media portrayals of Christianity, and discusses how these factors complicate forming a relationship with Christ in modern times.

  • “I Got You”: A Testimony of Healing, Purpose, and Knowing Jesus for Yourself with Armentha Hackett

    Send me a text and let me know your thoughts!

    This week, I had the honor of sitting down with Armentha Hackett—an incredible woman of faith with a powerful story of survival, healing, and a deeper understanding of who Jesus really is.

    “You’re Not Going Home.”

    Armentha noticed a shortness of breath, but chalked it up to a cold. When she finally went to urgent care, they rushed her straight to the emergency room.

    “They asked me what I knew about oxygen levels. I said, ‘Normal’s like 98, 99%.’
     The nurse said, ‘You’re at 62.’”

    Armentha was admitted to the ICU. What followed were 45 days in the hospital, a battle against pneumonia, the flu, and a full-body shutdown caused by a respiratory infection. Doctors didn’t expect her to make it.

    “I was hooked up to everything… I didn’t even know how bad it was. But I kept hearing this still, small voice:
     ‘I’m here. I got you.’”

    It started with what she thought was just a cold. But God had a far greater plan—and presence—in what unfolded.

    In this powerful podcast episode, we hear the journey of George Sisneros, whose priorities were dramatically reshaped. 

    Initially living the American Dream with thriving businesses and a love for the Denver Broncos, he experiences a profound spiritual awakening. 

    Through introspection and a probing divine question about his true loves, he embarks on a mission-driven path, ultimately re-locating to Guatemala. 

    Compelled to exchange frequent prayers for a simple 'I love you' to God, he finds fulfillment in missionary work, reflecting on faith, family, love, and a genuine call to serve beyond comfort and material success.
