Why do we wait until we’re drowning to pray? Why do we treat prayer like a last resort instead of our first response? In this episode, we dive into Philippians 4:6–7, where Paul reminds us to bring everything to God, not just our panic, but our daily lives, our quiet concerns, our gratitude, and our trust.

Prayer isn’t just for emergencies. It’s the lifeline that keeps us anchored in peace long before the storm hits. When we make consistent, honest prayer a part of our daily walk, we stop living in reaction mode and start living in the security of God’s presence.

If you’ve been treating prayer like a 911 call, this episode is your invitation to something deeper. Let’s talk about building a lifestyle of communion with God that brings peace, power, and stability, no matter what comes.

If this stirred something in you, if you’re ready to leave behind the shallows and pursue the deep things of God, then keep coming back. This podcast is here to walk with you, challenge you, and encourage you to go further than you’ve ever gone in your faith. You were made for the deep… and the deep is calling.

What if worship isn’t just something you do, but something you live?

In this powerful episode, we dive deep into Jesus’ words in John 4:23–24 and uncover what it really means to worship God “in spirit and in truth.” This wasn’t a casual conversation, it was a scandalous moment of divine revelation with a broken, outcast Samaritan woman. And it still speaks to us today.

We explore how worship is so much more than singing a few songs at church. It’s a heart posture. A lifestyle. A daily response to who God is, His holiness, His mercy, His power, and His relentless love.

You’ll be challenged to see worship not as an event, but as a way of life. Whether it’s through prayer, praise, service, or simple acts of obedience, every moment can glorify God when done in reverence and truth.

This episode is an invitation to go deeper. To tear down the walls of performance-based religion. And to live a life that worships God in every breath.

Key Scripture: John 4:23–24
Plus supporting Scriptures from Romans 12, Hebrews 13, Psalm 95, and more.

Don’t just sing louder, live surrendered.
This is what true worship looks like.

(Side note; if you haven't seen The Chosen, you really need to check it out!)

You were made for more than shallow faith.
In this episode, we dive deep into the truth that every believer is called beyond surface-level Christianity into a life marked by purpose, transformation, and intimacy with God. You were created with a spiritual hunger; a longing that nothing in this world can truly satisfy. That hunger is not a flaw; it's a divine invitation. Only God can fill the ache in your soul and lead you into the fullness of life He intended.

The shallow end can't hold a soul created for the deep. If you're tired of going through the motions, if you're restless for more, this episode is your invitation to step into deeper waters. We’re talking bold truth, because real faith costs something, and it’s worth everything.

You were made for more, and the more starts now.

If this stirred something in you, if you’re ready to leave behind the shallows and pursue the deep things of God, then keep coming back. This podcast is here to walk with you, challenge you, and encourage you to go further than you’ve ever gone in your faith. You were made for the deep… and the deep is calling.

After a long and necessary pause, I’m stepping back behind the mic to share the story of where I’ve been, why I stepped away, and why I believe God is calling us to go deeper than ever before. In this personal and raw episode, I open up about the soul-level wall I hit, the podcast that changed me, and the growing conviction that modern Christianity has settled for shallow.

This is not a return to “business as usual.” It’s a relaunch with purpose. Not to build an audience, but to build a community of believers hungry for more. More depth. More truth. More of God.

If you’re tired of surface-level faith, if you know there’s something deeper God is inviting you into, this episode is for you.

👉 I’d love to hear your story too. Email me at [email protected].

Let’s go deeper — together.

This episode is one that will touch your soul in a profound way. We’re talking about something we don’t often discuss but something that affects us all—walking with people through their final moments on this side of eternity.

Our guest today is William Sofield; a man with a calling as tender as it is powerful. He serves as a hospice chaplain, ministering to those who are facing the end of their earthly journey and offering comfort to families in their most vulnerable moments. With grace, compassion, and a deep reliance on the Lord, he brings the presence of Christ into some of life’s heaviest spaces.

In this conversation, we’ll explore what it means to bring hope where there is sorrow, light where there is darkness, and faith where questions abound. You’ll hear incredible stories of God’s presence in the final chapters of life and be reminded that even in our hardest moments, we are never alone.

Check out William's podcast, The Hopper.

I'm dedicating the first 2 weeks of 2024 to daily reminders of the different ways that we can renew our minds.

In this final installment, I break down 6 ways to take every thought captive.

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
–2 Corinthians 10:5

Whatever you find yourself in the middle of, take on an attitude of what am I supposed to learn in this?

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 
-2 Corinthians 4:16

In this episode, Kellye Fabian talks about the importance of being vulnerable with God about all of our brokenness.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. –Romans 12:2
