Today I sit down with Jonathan Isaac, starting forward for the Orlando Magic. 

From overcoming injuries to working through the anxieties that come with being in the NBA, Jonathan talks about recenting going to Onsite, the significance of accountability and how pivotal moments have shaped his life. 

Jonathan talks about being vocal about his faith being way outside of his comfort zone.  He also opens up about this and other challenges he’s faced as a Christian in the high-pressure world of the NBA.

In today’s episode, I sit down with my friend and worship leader, Kristian Stanfill. 

We talk about staying in ministry for the long haul, following Jesus and the emotional rollercoaster of fatherhood (specifically since we both had sons graduate from high school this year)!

He also shares about the power of community, showing up as your real self, and what it means to start living free. 

Kristian recently celebrated 4.5 years of sobriety (Congratulations!!!) and was on the podcast back in 2023 to talk about his journey with addiction. Listen in here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-203-sobriety-with-kristian-stanfill/id1119318768?i=1000612453035

Conflict is inevitable in every relationship but how we handle it can make or break our marriage. 

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Gabe & Rebekah Lyons as we dive into what it means to fight well. 

Not married? They also share some advice for those who are dating and include their “red flags” for when to seek counseling (yes, it’s a good idea to do BEFORE you get married) and when to walk away.

Through real stories (like how they got into a fight an hour before this interview!) and kind encouragement, you’ll learn ways to navigate disagreements with grace, humility and love.

Whether you're dating, newly married or decades in, this conversation offers practical tools and insight to help turn conflict into connection - and draw you closer to your spouse and to God.

In today’s episode, I sit down with author Justin Whitmel Earley. 

Justin’s career began as a missionary in China until becoming a business lawyer. Along the way, he faced a tough mental health crisis that changed everything for him. What came out of that season? A totally different way of living. One that was shaped by intentional habits and vulnerability. 

We talk about the two spiritual habits he leans on the most, how being vulnerable can strengthen our friendships, and what it looks like to build deep connections with our kids (even in the midst of chaos). 

He also shares about his book The Big Mess - a reminder that the messiness of life, especially with our kids, can actually be a gift.

This Rough Cut Thought is specifically for pastors and church leaders.

Summer can be a hard time to be a pastor or work in a church. Attendance drops. Energy drops. You’re winded from a busy year. But what if instead of losing momentum, we leaned in and saw God move?

I have 7 ways to keep the momentum going in your church this summer!

Today, I sit down with my good friend (and the pastor of another church in town), Pastor Phill Tague of Ransom Church.

We question why it’s so rare for two pastors from the same town (Sioux Falls, South Dakota) to come together and associate with each other? Why is this so uncommon?

We talk about the dynamics of pastor relationships which often includes jealousy, competition and comparison.

This conversation isn’t just for ministry leaders. Whether you're in business, education, or any field where egos clash and vision competes, this one's for you!

We talk about the ups and downs of doing ministry with people who share the same heart for reaching the lost, why saying “yes” to what God’s called us to matters so much, and how real, honest friendship can change everything. 

Plus, Phill wrote a book and it’s amazing! Order today: https://amzn.to/430CLve

Today, I sit down with author and entrepreneur, Jordan Raynor.

We jump right into things by talking about the difference between being busy and being hurried (yes, there is a difference!). 

Jordan gives some great tips for how to find peace in our chaotic, overscheduled lives.  He also talks about building margin into our days and why he quit social media (LISTEN UP, PARENTS!)

We spend so much time looking into mirrors (so worried about our own lives) that we forget to look out windows (what others are doing around us). We can learn so many lessons from the remarkable lives of those around us. Don’t miss this powerful conversation!

So many men are bored! In their work and in their walk with Jesus. But it doesn’t have to stay that way. 

In this episode, I have an incredible conversation with Peter Ostapko, who shares his journey of creating the Kinsmen Journal - an annual magazine that challenges men to lead lives of transformative faith, redemptive fatherhood, and fostering a sense of brotherhood among men. 

We discuss what it means to be a man, why men today are bored and how to raise sons that become men. Peter emphasizes the need for men (and boys) to embrace risk, adventure, and vulnerability and how those things actually bring us closer to Jesus.

Tune in for insights on redefining masculinity and be sure to share this episode with the men in your life!

And if you have sons, make sure you listen to the full podcast episode or watch the episode on YouTube because we chat about how boys come alive through play and how safety is NOT the goal for your sons (and it’s SO good). 

Be sure to follow me on Instagram where I’ll be giving away 5 copies of the Kinsmen Journal!
