Welcome to part 2 of a very special podcast series we are calling Faith & Justice.

In this series, we’re diving into what it looks like to follow Jesus in a world that is deeply in need of hope, healing, and justice.

Over these four episodes, we’re honored to be partnering with International Justice Mission, an incredible organization working to end violence, exploitation and modern-day slavery in some of the darkest corners of the world. 

Today, I get to sit down with former MLB player Nick Hundley, but even more than that, a man of deep faith and incredible leadership. Nick’s now the Director of Team Freedom, IJM’s program that brings pro athletes together to use their influence for good.

Nick shares about his journey from playing in the big leagues to working in the front office with the Texas Rangers, how he juggles all his roles and what it really means to live out your faith right where you are. 

And parents… there’s a piece of advice Nick’s dad gave him that you’re gonna want to tuck away. It’s gold.

Hey friends, Welcome to a very special podcast series called Faith & Justice.

In this series, we’re diving into what it looks like to follow Jesus in a world that is deeply in need of hope, healing, and justice.

Over the next four episodes, we’re honored to be partnering with International Justice Mission, or IJM - an incredible organization working to end violence, exploitation, and modern-day slavery in some of the darkest corners of the world. 

Today, I sit down with singer/songwriter Ellie Holcomb who has supported IJM in lots of different ways. We talk about why justice and compassion matter so deeply to her, and some practical ways you and I can make a difference too.

Ellie also shares how she was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 42 and how it has deepened  her relationships. She also opens up about how she navigates the challenges of parenting while pursuing her passion for music (oh, and she’s got a brand-new album coming out too!). 

This conversation is honest, encouraging, and full of hope. I can’t wait for you to hear it.

Last year, the Wall Street Journal reported that Bible sales are up by 22% from the year before (how cool is that?!).

So in today’s episode, we’re hanging out with Amanda Bible Williams, the amazing co-founder of She Reads Truth. If you’ve never checked it out, it is an incredible community that helps women engage with the Bible every single day.

Amanda opens up about her journey and shares some cool insights on why more people are opening up their Bibles, and why community matters when it comes to sticking with it. Plus She gives some practical tips for those just starting out on their faith journey (like what translation of the Bible to buy and what chapter to start with when reading the Bible for the first time). 

She also offers some heartfelt encouragement to anyone who has been hurt by the church - find out who Jesus is for yourself by reading His Word. He loves you and will meet you right where you're at.

Friend, this conversation will encourage you to keep opening your Bible and remind you that you don’t have to do it alone.

Today is part 4 of our marriage series and we’re wrapping things up with an incredible couple: Justin & Trisha Davis.

Their story? It’s real. It’s raw. In 2002 after planting their first church, Justin had an affair with a staff member (who was also Trisha’s best friend). They walked through four years of deep pain, grief, counseling and by God’s grace… restoration.

Here’s the thing… not every hard season happens because of choices we make. A medical diagnosis. A failed business. A struggling child. Family drama. A pandemic. These moments can easily pull us apart or force us to stand together even closer.

Justin & Trisha remind us that marriage works best when you choose to face challenges as a team instead of as enemies. We talk about the importance of honesty, vulnerability and turning towards your spouse when things get tough. 

This episode is full of practical wisdom and a whole lot of grace. I hope you are encouraged.

Today is part 3 of our marriage series and I had the privilege of sitting down with Nicky and Sila Lee, a well-known couple from England who developed The Marriage Course - a program that’s impacted couples around the world.

They’ve been married 49 years (yes, 49 years!) and they share the small but powerful habits that have kept their love strong: praying together, saying thank you (especially for the little things) and making time for regular date nights - even after almost 5 decades of marriage! My favorite part? Watching how they laugh together. They balance each other so well, you can just tell how much they truly enjoy one another. Their wisdom is simple, practical and so encouraging. No matter what season of marriage you are in.

For part 2 of this marriage series, I get to sit down with my friend, pastor and author Gary Thomas and his lovely wife, Lisa, about having a marriage that is built to last. 

They’ve been married 41 years (yes, you read that right!) and they share about the ups and downs they faced early on as parents, and the habits that have helped them keep growing together.

My favorite part of the conversation? When they talk about how they keep the fun - and yes, even the sex - alive in their marriage! 

Tune in for tips on staying connected, loving for the long haul and how to show up together through the years.

We’re back with another “Ask Adam Anything” episode and today’s topic is something culture often overlooks: rest. While busyness is celebrated and productivity is praised, Emily and I talk about how true renewal comes when we step back and embrace rhythms of rest.

On the flip side, many people think they're overworked and burned out - when it turns out they might just be bored! Work is a gift from God and we should do it with purpose! 

Friends, if you’ve ever felt worn out by the constant go-go-go of life, this episode is for you. I encourage you to find your rhythm where you can work hard AND rest hard.

In today’s episode, Emily and I dive into the importance of living a magnetic life - one that attracts others to us (and ultimately to Jesus). 

This can be especially difficult when so many Christians are perceived as judgmental and hypocritical (especially because of what we say and post online) which often repels people from wanting to know Jesus or having anything to do with the Church. OUCH!

Join us for a conversation filled with practical tips for living out your faith online. We hope you feel encouraged to make some tweaks in your own life and online presence!

In today’s episode I got to sit down with my friend, Carlos Whittaker, and a live audience!

Carlos is one of the most life-giving people I know. He is honest, hilarious and always full of hope. 

We chat about ways we can reconnect with God, what he’s learned about welcoming grief into his life since losing his dad to dementia almost 6 months ago and the challenges (and joys) of parenting older children.

Carlos also shares how he stays young both physically and at heart (it’s probably not what you think!) and we discuss something he does better than anyone I know - bridging gaps between people who are divided.
