  • Episode 21: From Diagnosis to Deliverance with Jacob Gaspard

    In this powerful episode of The Knock Podcast, we sit down with Jacob Gaspard, our first out-of-state guest, who flew in from south Louisiana after feeling a clear call from God to be obedient. Jacob shares his raw and unfiltered journey from a broken childhood, addiction-filled environments, divorce, and spiritual distance… to a moment that would completely change his life forever.

    After being diagnosed with a degenerative form of muscular dystrophy and told he had only years to live, Jacob reached the end of himself. With nothing left to hold onto, he surrendered his life to Christ—and what happened next stunned doctors and defied medical explanation. Just 45 days later, the disease was gone.

    Jacob opens up about anger toward God, wrestling with faith, the fear of obedience, and how distractions—even "good things"—can keep us from God's will. He also shares what true surrender looks like, how God stripped away control, business idols, and identity, and why obedience in the moment matters more than comfort or logic.

    This episode is a reminder that God is always working, even when it feels like silence—and that miracles often follow surrender.

    If this story stirs something in you—pray on it. If you're searching for more—lean in. Because God is always knocking. The question is: will you answer?

  • Episode 20: Overcoming Isolation Through Faith with Dr. Megan Malone

    In this episode of The Knock Podcast, we sit down with chiropractor, wife, mom, and follower of Christ Dr. Megan Malone to talk about the silent battles so many women face—miscarriages, postpartum struggles, hormonal transitions, and the shame that often comes with them. Dr. Megan shares how God led her into women's reproductive health through her sister's endometriosis, how He's now stirring her heart to serve women in perimenopause, and why these physical transitions are deeply spiritual moments too.

    Dr. Megan reveals how isolation becomes the enemy's playground, why women need vulnerability over silence, and how husbands can better support their wives through postpartum anxiety and emotional overwhelm. She also explains the impact of something as simple as your social media algorithm on a new mom's mental health—and gives practical steps to protect your home spiritually.

  • Episode 19: The Day God Got a Hold of Me with Travis Zessinger

    In this episode of The Knock Podcast, we sit down with Travis Zessinger — a husband, father, and familiar face at Project Power — to unpack the story behind a life that looked "full" on the outside but felt empty on the inside. Travis opens up about spending more than a decade in the "lukewarm" phase of faith, believing in God but never truly knowing Him. What changed everything wasn't a rock-bottom moment, but a quiet conviction that something deeper was missing. With encouragement from brothers like Matt and Justin, a study Bible he avoided for five weeks, and a powerful encounter that shifted the atmosphere of his home, Travis finally surrendered — and life hasn't been the same since.

    We dive into how God has been pruning him, reshaping his heart, transforming how he leads his family, and breaking old patterns of anger, ego, and emptiness. Travis shares raw moments of conviction, the importance of solid men in your corner, the power of Scripture, and why surrendering control to God brings a freedom the world can't offer. If you've ever felt stuck, "kind of" Christian, or unsure what's missing in your life, Travis's story will hit home in a way that's honest, relatable, and full of hope.

  • Episode 18: When Honesty Leads You to Jesus with Mark Joe

    In this episode of The Knock Podcast, we sit down with Mark Joe, whose journey runs from prison cells and compulsive lying to radical honesty, real repentance, and a bold life with Jesus. Mark shares how a moment of clarity in solitary confinement—simply deciding to stop lying—became the first step God used to completely redirect his life. From there, he describes years of searching for truth, developing a deep prayer life, reading Scripture, and eventually being wrecked by God's grace in the back row of a church service that led him to finally surrender to Jesus.

    Today, Mark runs Omen Coffee in the heart of a progressive city—not as a trendy business, but as a ministry ground zero. The shop has become a hub for young adults, Bible studies, baptisms, and conversations for people who are hungry for God but hesitant to walk into a traditional church. He talks about rebuilding his relationship and marriage through obedience, watching God restore what was broken, and why marketplace ministry and everyday boldness matter just as much as a pulpit. If you're wrestling with faith, frustrated with "church people," or just wondering if God is real, Mark's testimony will challenge you to open your Bible, talk to God honestly, and give Jesus a real chance.

  • Episode 17: Answering God in the Middle of the Chaos with Jeff Garner

    In this episode of The Knock Podcast, we sit down with Jeff Garner — a single father, business owner, and man who has walked through darkness most people can't imagine. Jeff grew up bouncing between instability, addiction, and survival. By eleven years old he was already drinking and smoking, and by his teenage years he was fully consumed by the lifestyle he once idolized. What started as fun quickly became a prison. The hole in his heart only grew deeper, and eventually he found himself living without hope, without direction, and without any sense of freedom.

    But God never stopped knocking.

    Jeff shares how years of pain, brokenness, and near-death moments finally brought him to a point where the only thing he could do was cry out for help. His journey into recovery wasn't clean or quick, but it became the path where God met him, taught him how to surrender, and slowly rebuilt the foundation of his life. For years Jeff prayed to a God he barely understood, only to later realize that Jesus had been pursuing him the entire time. When he finally opened the Scriptures and read the Gospels for himself, everything clicked — the freedom he'd been chasing, the healing he couldn't find, and the peace he'd never experienced all made sense in the person of Christ.

    Jeff's story is raw, honest, and filled with reminders that real transformation doesn't happen through willpower — it happens when you finally stop running and let God take over. Whether you're struggling with addiction, battling distraction, or wrestling with what faith even means, this conversation is a powerful reminder that Jesus meets us exactly where we are… and He never leaves us there.

  • Episode 15: When God Redirects Your Steps with Mark Griffith

    In this powerful episode of The Knock Podcast, we sit down with Mark Griffith — a husband, father, and minister with over 12 years in ministry — to talk about what it really means to move from believing in God to fully surrendering to Him. Mark opens up about growing up in one of the least biblically minded cities in America, wrestling with identity and purpose as a college athlete, and the defining moment that led him to say, "Yes, Lord" — no conditions attached.

    From battling addiction and pride to finding true freedom through confession, community, and the power of the Holy Spirit, Mark's story is a raw reminder that transformation begins where control ends. Together, we dig into topics of obedience, fatherhood, faith under pressure, and the tension between doubt and trust — discovering how God uses every season, even the hard ones, to draw us closer to Him.

    If you've ever questioned your faith, struggled with surrender, or wondered how to hear God's voice in the middle of transition, this episode is for you. Mark's testimony will challenge and encourage you to lay it all down and truly let God lead.

  • Episode 14: Building Faith, Family, and Fellowship | Answering the Knock with Mark Hynes

    In this episode of The Knock Podcast, we sit down with Mark Hynes of Welded Horn BBQ to explore how God can turn simple gifts—like great food and a welcoming table—into a ministry that binds communities together. Mark opens up about fatherhood and the honest, hard questions kids ask about heaven and suffering, sharing how those conversations have deepened his own walk. He reflects on seasons of struggle, from personal loss to the pressures of building a business, and how choosing service—feeding the homeless, showing up for neighbors, giving quietly—has become a daily act of worship.

    We also talk about guiding children toward a faith that's truly their own, the importance of reading Scripture in context, and why discernment matters when churches and culture send mixed messages. Mark's story is a reminder that God redeems messy lives, uses ordinary obedience, and often works through a shared meal to bring people closer to Him.

  • Episode 14: Finding True Freedom in Christ with Tess Boyer

    In this powerful episode of The Knock Podcast, Bobby and Gerrad sit down with Tess Boyer—a worship leader, mom, and former contestant on The Voice—to unpack her journey from chasing fame to finding complete freedom in Christ.

    Tess opens up about her years in entertainment, performing under the bright lights of television and the NFL, and how pride, identity, and the pressure to perform slowly pulled her away from the truth she was raised in. But everything changed the moment she fully surrendered—walking away from the spotlight and allowing God to rebuild her life from the inside out.

    She shares the lessons she's learned about revival, repentance, and identity, the danger of pride even inside ministry, and how God used her season of obscurity to teach her what true worship really means. Tess also vulnerably speaks about her recent loss, revealing how even in heartbreak, God's hand of protection and love never left her side.

    If you've ever struggled with letting go of control, finding your worth outside of titles, or hearing God's voice in the midst of busyness—this episode will meet you right where you are.
