Before You Judge Judas… Check Your Heart

Judas walked with Jesus, saw miracles, and sat at the same table—yet he still betrayed Him. In this honest conversation, Dan and Janessa explore how closeness to Jesus doesn’t always mean surrender, and how subtle compromises can slowly pull our hearts away from God.

Through scripture and real-life reflection, this episode challenges us to examine what we might be trading Jesus for—and reminds us that grace still invites us to run back to Him.

Life Lived By Faith with Dan & Janessa — real conversations about faith, surrender, and following Jesus in everyday life.

This episode is for every believer who loves Jesus but still battles old wounds, habits, and hidden struggles. Dan & Janessa talk honestly about the tension between who you were and who you’re becoming — and why your struggle is not a sign of failure but evidence that God is still working in you. Through Scripture, real conversation, and you’ll be reminded that: Salvation is secure. Healing takes time. Struggling doesn’t disqualify you. And God meets you right where you are!

“Faith in the Middle Seat: The Red Sea Story”

Feeling stuck?

Not where you used to be… but not where God promised yet? That’s the middle seat — and God does His best work right there.

In this episode we unpack Exodus 14 and talk about:

🔥 Trusting God in tight places

🔥 Letting Him fight battles you can’t

🔥 Watching God make a way where there is no way

🔥 Turning your fear into your testimony

🔥 Letting God shut the door on what’s been chasing you

Family… the same God who split the Red Sea is still splitting seas today. Tap in — your breakthrough might be in the middle.

This one is for the ones who have been carrying a lot inside. The heart isn’t just where we feel things it’s where we store things. Psalm 119 reminds us that our hearts are full of pockets. And whether we realize it or not, we’re always putting things in there: In this episode, we get real about what we’re carrying — and how God’s Word is meant to live inside us, not just near us. Because when life squeezes you, whatever is stored inside comes out. If worry is stored, worry comes out. If anger is stored, anger comes out. If fear is stored, fear comes out.

This episode dives into the book of Hosea — a story of heartbreak, wandering, and a love that refuses to give up. We unpack how God pursues us even when we run, how sin over-promises and leaves us empty, and how God restores what shame tries to ruin.

If you’ve ever felt unworthy, distant, or “too far gone,” this conversation is for you.

Big Truth: God doesn’t drag you back — He draws you back. Again. And again. And again.

Scripture: Hosea 11:8 — “How can I give you up?”

We’re back! Join Dan and Janessa as we wrap up our Becoming Series.

This week, we’re talking about Growing in Godliness — what it looks like, why it matters, and how we can pursue it daily.

Join Janessa for a very special one-off episode, where she talks about having strength during difficult times in our lives. Even in our darkest moments, God provides supernatural strength for those who trust in Him. When life falls apart or storms rage, our hope is not in the absence of hardship but in the presence of a faithful God who never leaves us.

We explore the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in our lives through the lens of Galatians 5:22-26. This passage offers us a portrait of what our lives should look like when they are yielded to the Spirit.

Today, we dive into an inspiring passage found in Ephesians 4:1-16. Here, the Apostle Paul emphasizes our calling to live in unity and grow into maturity as members of the body of Christ.

This four-week series helps us understand Christian maturity and the process of growing in our faith. It reminds believers that God wants us to conform to the image of Christ
