  • MORE Than Enough! Real-Life TESTIMONIES of God's Divine Multiplication with Emily Reed | Ep. 21

    If being generous scares you… that’s okay.

    Because that tension really is an invitation into a deeper revelation of God’s character and truth, his Kingdom principles, and so much more.

    Most of us know that it's "good" to be generous (financially AND otherwise)... and yet, it can also be challenging to know how (and how MUCH) God actually wants us to live that out in our everyday lives.

    Today, we're sitting down with our friend Emily Reed and talking about all things generosity: working through our own fears and the barriers, discovering the powerful ripple effect of generosity, the practical examples and mindset shifts that have helped us most, as well as amazing personal testimonies of how exercising generosity doesn't just change us—but others through us, too.

  • From Confusion to CLARITY: A 4-Part Framework For Discerning God's Will ("Good" vs. "Should") | Ep. 18

    Just because it's a good thing... doesn't mean you should do it.

    Every single day, we're faced with a number of decisions.

    For some of us, it can feel daunting just to choose a restaurant to go to, or pick items off a menu, or what outfit to wear to an event...

    Let alone higher-stake decisions, like who to date or marry, whether to change jobs, whether to move (especially in a seemingly never-ending sea of information, opinions, and options).

    For others of us, our issue is more about overcommitting to things that ALL seem like good opportunities to pursue... leaving little time and energy for our actual values.

    Whether big or small, decision-making can sometimes feel like an overwhelming puzzle.

    And both of us have faced (and continue to face!) our fair share of difficult decisions and the unnecessary stress that can often accompany them.

    But through the crossroads in our own journeys, we've learned some super valuable lessons and tips that we want to share to help you discern God's will - and how he is leading you.

    In this episode, we dive into some factors that make decision-making so hard... and walk you through 4 categories of important questions that have helped us a lot in discerning between what's a "good" vs. a "should."

    We hope this conversation and framework helps you break free from analysis paralysis... and instead, find God's divine wisdom and guidance from amidst all the noise, in order to step forward with clarity, purpose, and confident faith!

  • "I Was ADDICTED To Junk Food" - Healing Your Relationship with Food with Verona Angol, Certified CBT Mindset & Macros Coach | Ep. 17

    Do you struggle with a "love-hate" relationship with food?

    Even if it might not be obvious on the outside, many people actually struggle with their relationship with food - and not even realize it's doing them harm long-term.

    And because health and nutrition can conjure up different feelings of shame, guilt, or even apathy (depending on your history with food), it's something that we don't tend to talk about often.

    Today we're excited to be joined by Verona Angol, certified CBT Mindset & Macros Nutrition Coach and host of the Lose Weight With Macros Podcast.

    Verona shares her own personal journey from working in IT and giving into constant cravings, to experiencing deep transformation through the help of a counselor - and the ultimate Counselor - to now helping others, too, through Mindset & Macros Coaching.

    Hear how she went from eating McDonald's every single day and self-sabotaging through binge eating and body shame... to experiencing the Holy Spirit's help in finally learning to nourish not just her body, but also her mind, heart, and soul.

    We also dive into the psychology behind our relationship with food and nutrition, how to prevent yo-yo dieting and legalistic mindsets – as well as practical ways to cultivate a balanced and disciplined approach to what and how we eat, without losing the joy of food and fellowship.

    We hope this episode empowers you to enjoy a healthier, freer, and God-honoring relationship with what (and how) you consume into the body he's given you.

  • What is “Self-Care” vs. “Soul Care” (& Why Does It Matter)? | Ep. 16

    More and more, the term "self-care" is getting tossed around in our culture and held in higher esteem.

    On the other hand, it's generally much more rare to hear about "soul care."

    Or, if we do (typically in Christian spiritual formation niches), it often still feels abstract and mysterious...

    So today, we want to demystify BOTH.

    Join us as we dive into the #1 voted-on topic that you picked in our Instagram poll: the difference between "self-care" & "soul care. "

    At times, these terms are used interchangeably or in different ways, so we explore the hidden nuances and explore why embracing both is essential for our lives... as well as real-life examples and practical ways to engage in self-care and soul care that go beyond cliché and surface-level ideas.

    We also address common challenges that prevent us from taking care of ourselves and our souls, and offer actionable tips for overcoming them, based on what's been helpful for us in our personal journeys.

    We hope that this conversation helps inspire you with a deeper understanding of why God invites us to care for ourselves holistically - as well as life-giving ideas for how to put that into action.

  • “I Heard God's AUDIBLE Voice” - Finding & Fulfilling Your God-Given Purpose with Chris Beth, Founder of The Bucket Ministry | Ep. 13

    Ever wonder what it's like to literally hear God's voice?

    But even when we don't... how can we still faithfully discern and take steps forward in the calling he has for us?

    Today we sit down with Chris Beth as he shares his inspiring personal story of how God led him from a 35-year-career in business to founding The Bucket Ministry, a non-profit organization that shares God’s love and truth with under-resourced communities around the world through the gift of clean, safe, drinking water.

    As a new believer, Chris found himself unexpectedly in the Amazon rainforest. Through this humbling experience, God spoke to him in an extraordinary, audible way - one that would forever change his life.

    In this episode, we unpack Chris' process of discovering and stepping into his God-given assignment, navigating through doubts and ambiguities, and the impact it's all had on him and his family.

    Most of all, we pray that this conversation helps you take steps forward in pursuing your God-given assignment - to help and serve those he cares for - with purpose, boldness, and FAITH.

  • Co-Founder & CEO: "We're At A Cultural Tipping Point" (You Won't Succeed At Work Without THIS) - Anthony Kennada | Ep. 12

    Life is FULL of ups and downs.

    Our schedules quickly get packed.

    Our to-do lists often feel endless… and only keep getting longer.

    At the same time… God invites us to find REST, peace, and strength we need from him.

    But HOW do we practically do that, in the midst of an increasingly fast-paced world?

    If there’s anyone who knows this struggle, it’s Anthony Kennada, Co-Founder and CEO of AudiencePlus, and Alex’s former colleague turned friend.

    Join us as Anthony shares powerful testimonies (including a life-changing medical miracle) and hard lessons he’s learned throughout his career and journey as an executive leader, marketer, husband, dad… and how God used all of it to ignite a personal revival in him and his family, revealing to them the importance of spiritual practices for thriving in all areas of his life.

    Together, we’ll explore real-life examples of WHY and how to practically incorporate and live out spiritual practices in our everyday lives - REGARDLESS of the increasing pace or changing circumstances around us - as well as how to cultivate a healthy attitude towards our spiritual growth (instead of being driven by religion and perfectionism).
