In this episode of The Good Fight, Kim Bigler introduces new semi-regular co-host Nathan Rocky as they dive into honest conversations about faith, suffering, transformation, and the deeper work God does through life’s hardest seasons. From humor and human connection to Lent, perseverance, and the hope that “does not disappoint,” this episode wrestles with Romans 5 and asks a powerful question: What if suffering isn’t the end of the story, but the place where God produces endurance, character, and deeper intimacy with Him?

Kim Bigler welcomes Zac Turner for a vulnerable discussion on isolation, accountability, and the power of authentic Christian community. From personal testimony to conversations about church hurt, this episode explores why vulnerability matters and how God uses community to refine, heal, and strengthen his people.

Josh Elder, Pastor of St. Timothy on the Northshore and Host of “Let The Bible Speak” Podcast 

I am blessed to have great friendships with many pastors and folks in the ministry. This new episode opens with how Josh and I met, a God-ordained meeting that influenced The Good Fight Podcast. Josh shares how Jesus pursued him, even in the thick of addiction, and started restoring his heart and life—eventually calling him into ministry. The Lord seemed to lead our conversation, and to some deep points, and I walked away personally ministered to. You will too. For those who want real honest dialogue, this listen is for you.  

Julie Wondergem 

Faith in our faith will lead to disillusionment, but faith in God’s character will keep one strong even when His plans look different than our own. Julie shares her testimony of faith since childhood, and how her faith was tested through a season of experiencing spiritual abuse and strengthened in the valley of foster care having to give up children she loved back to life. Faith is war, but it’s also surrender. True faith does not “name and claim” their wish list and treat God like a genie or slot machine. True faith is trusting Him and His goodness/faithfulness even when He doesn’t move His hand the way we believe He should. Now, Julie helps hold up the arms of many who must contend for the vulnerable yet who also must leave the result to God alone.
