Ryan Brown, pastor, writer, and disciple-maker, brings a compelling perspective on what it truly means to follow Christ in a world where faith often comes with a cost. His work centers on helping believers live out their faith authentically, especially amid the reality of Christian persecution around the globe and the challenges of living counterculturally in the Western Church.

In this episode, Ryan explores how consumerism and comfort can distort discipleship, the power of prayer to shape our lives, and why suffering can be a path to glory. He challenges us to measure joy beyond circumstances and to pray for God’s purpose rather than blessings on our plans. His insights invite listeners to embrace a deeper, more resilient faith that is lived out daily, no matter the cost.

Whether you’re wrestling with your own faith journey or looking to understand the bigger picture of the global Church, this episode will inspire you to live boldly and follow Christ on His terms.

Join us as we sit down with married couple and church planters, Brad and Paige Straarup. Their love story has been tested by several seasons of silence from God as they walked through infertility, loss, and even deportation. But through it all, they’ve discovered a deeper kind of strength they wouldn’t have otherwise learned of not “wasting the wait”.

This conversation is for anyone currently or has found themselves in a waiting season. Brad and Paige offer the hopeful encouragement that sometimes the miracle isn’t just what you receive—it’s who you become while you wait.

As football season kicks off, we have the perfect guest to dive deep into everything football. Today, we welcome Jake Arians to the No Grey Areas Podcast. He was a former NFL kicker for the Buffalo Bills and the son of Super Bowl–winning coach Bruce Arians.

Arians shares his journey from picking up football for the first time in 7th grade to earning respect as more than “just a kicker.” Growing up with a coach for a father meant constant moves, hard lessons, and a front-row seat to the game at every level.

Jake walks us through the highest and lowest moments of his career, the difference between being a coordinator and a head coach, and why emotional intelligence is one of the most important qualities in a leader. He shares why sports are one of the best teachers for kids, how “coaching hard and hugging later” earns lasting respect, and why life doesn’t hand out participation trophies. His perspective on hard work, sacrifice, and resilience offers lessons far beyond the field.
