Hi friends, welcome back to The Jesus Sampler Podcast. This December on the podcast, we open with a new series to end the year: UNBROKEN.

UNBROKEN is a high-intensity documentary-style series that follows the real stories of missionaries who stepped into the world’s darkest corners—and refused to bend when everything around them broke. Each episode pulls back the curtain on believers who faced kidnapping, persecution, violence, and spiritual warfare, yet held to Christ with a grip hell itself couldn’t pry loose. These are stories of hunger, fear, loss, triumph, miracles, and the quiet, stubborn faith that outlasts terror. This first episode opens with the harrowing true account of Gracia and Martin Burnham, a missionary couple kidnapped in the Philippines and held hostage in the jungle for over a year. With every march, every gunpoint encounter, every whisper of Scripture in the night, their story reveals what it truly means to walk with Jesus when the path is filled with enemies, uncertainty, and fire. Raw. Honest. Unflinching. UNBROKEN isn’t just a series—it’s a testimony to the God who sustains the human spirit when everything else is stripped away.

Hi friends! Welcome back to another episode of The Jesus Sampler Podcast!

In this powerful finale to our November Names of God series, Peyton McCombs dives into Jehovah Mekoddishkem — The Lord Who Sanctifies You. Using the courage of Esther as a blueprint, this episode shows how God positions ordinary people for extraordinary purposes. From Persia’s palace to today’s global move of God — from Auburn to Nigeria, South Africa to Tennessee — revival is spreading like wildfire, and you are called to step into it.

Through breathtaking testimonies & scripture, Peyton reminds listeners that God never leaves a story unfinished. Every detail of your life, every fear, every struggle, every “ordinary” moment is being used to prepare you for your assignment. This is more than a story of history — it’s your story, your calling, your Esther moment.

Hear how God is raising a generation set apart, igniting courage in the faint-hearted, and moving across continents to change lives. If you’ve ever wondered if your life matters in this great story of God’s Kingdom, this episode will answer that question: You were born for such a time as this.

Hi friends! Welcome back to another episode of The Jesus Sampler Podcast! In this episode, we dive into the Hebrew layers of the word “well” and discover a truth many of us avoid: before God fills us, He often purifies us. Scripture calls this process barar—the kind of refining where what’s useless is blown away and what’s valuable is revealed.

If you’ve been in a season where everything feels like it’s being stripped, shaken, or exposed, this message is your reminder that God is not punishing you—He’s pruning you. And pruning always leads to fruit. Always.

Through Ecclesiastes 3:11 and the honest moments Jesus speaks into our lives, we talk about why growth often feels like breaking, why God sometimes confronts instead of comforts, and how the painful seasons become the testimonies we carry into the next chapter.

If you’re ready to stop going back to what God freed you from, to trust the season you’re in, and to let Jesus get you closer to His heart—even if it means cutting things away—this episode is for you.

Hi friends! This week on The Jesus Sampler, we’re diving into one of the wildest obedience-to-impact stories of our generation: the Tim Tebow testimony. From being a miracle baby born on the mission field to a quarterback who turned a playoff game into a global sermon, Tebow didn’t just wear Scripture—he lifted the name of Jesus like a banner.

We’re talking missions, miracles, “coincidences,” and the moment 90 million people looked up John 3:16 because one man chose obedience over spotlight. And we’re linking it all to our November God-Name series: JESUS as our Banner—Jehovah Nissei- the One who goes before us, fights for us, and turns ordinary moments into divine appointments.

If you’ve ever wondered what God can do when you lift His name high, this is your sign! This is the episode for YOU!

Raise the banner. 

Step into the battle.

Watch Jesus do what only He can do.

Hi friends! Welcome back to another episode of The Jesus Sampler Podcast! This week, we travel to London to hear the powerful story of professional footballer Jason McCarthy, whose world fell apart before God called his name—LITERALLY. From the chaos of the pitch to a moment on the road that would change everything, Jason’s story reveals the unstoppable power of one name: Jesus.
Then, we dive into the meaning of Jehovah Jireh—The Lord Who Provides—and why His name still breaks chains, still brings peace, and still saves today.
Because there’s no other name on record like the name of Jesus.

Hi friends! Welcome back to another episode of The Jesus Sampler Podcast! This week, we are diving into what happens when believers surrender everything to Jesus. When we get SERIOUS about our walk with the Lord.

There was a vision in 1949— one of fire falling again, of young people crying out for Jesus in unexpected places. Seventy years later, I saw that same fire fall on the University of Arkansas. This episode bridges generations — from tent revivals to campus revival — and reminds us that God never forgets what He reveals. Tune in now! :)

Hi friends! Welcome back to The Jesus Sampler Podcast! Your obedience could change history — not just in your life, but in your town, school, college, workplace — anywhere God has placed you. In this episode, Peyton shares how moving into her first home became a picture of what happens when Jesus moves into our hearts.

We’re not waiting for revival — revival is here. But it starts with surrender. With cleaning house. With handing Jesus the keys.

This episode is a call to action: to deny ourselves, follow Jesus daily, and recognize that your "yes" to God might be the key that unlocks someone else's salvation.

Your obedience matters. Revival starts with you.
