For years, JJ lived a double life. 

Behind closed doors, he battled a hidden meth addiction. One he kept secret from the people who loved him most. Even his wife, Brooke, had no idea the depth of what he was struggling with. 

In this powerful and deeply personal testimony, JJ and Brooke sit down to share their story together. JJ opens up about the secrecy, the shame, and the grip addiction had on his life. Brooke shares the heartbreak, confusion, and whirlwind of emotions she experienced when she discovered the truth about what her husband had been hiding. 

But this isn’t just a story about addiction. 

It’s a story about redemption. 

After years of darkness, JJ had a life-changing encounter with Jesus that transformed everything. Years of prayers from other people led to a beautiful moment of redemption. Today, he has dedicated his life to helping young people avoid the same path he once walked... showing them there is always a better option and a greater purpose waiting for them. 

If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, secrecy, or hopelessness, this conversation is for you. Freedom is possible. Restoration is real. And no one is too far gone.

Everyone has an opinion... but is it biblical? 

In this episode, we are joined by our producer Toby to react to real listener submissions and put popular Christian hot takes to the test. Some are encouraging, some are uncomfortable, and some might challenge the way you've always thought. Instead of arguing from feelings, we open the Bible and ask: What does the Bible really say? 

While this one is just for fun, we hope that our conversation stirs the urge to test your own personal beliefs to see if they align with the Word. 

Grab your Bible and jump in!

"When church leaves the building" isn't just a catchy phrase... it’s a way of life. 

In this episode, we sit down with Matt & Kady Woodruff, the founders of Love is the Metric, to hear how God radically changed their lives and birthed a ministry that meets people where they are: in the streets, in addiction, in homelessness, and in deep brokenness. They go to the darkest places to for the one. 

What started as obedience became a calling. Matt and Kady share how the Lord led them beyond the four walls of the church and into the lives of the forgotten. It is their life's mission to walk with the hopeless, love without conditions, and help people not only get out of destructive situations, but into a real, life-changing relationship with Jesus. THIS is love on the move. 

This conversation is raw, faith-filled, and deeply convicting. It’s a reminder that the Gospel isn’t meant to stay inside a building; it’s meant to be lived out, one surrendered “yes” at a time. 

👉 If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like when faith turns into action, this episode is for you.

If you have faith...why are you still afraid? 

It's a question that many Christians quietly wrestle with, but rarely say out loud. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the tension between fear, anxiety, and faith, asking the hard questions believers often feel guilty for even having. 

Does fear mean your faith is weak? 

Can fear and faith coexist in the same heart? 

What does the Bible actually say about anxiety? 

Through honest conversation, scripture, and real-life experience, we unpack the difference between feeling fear and being led by fear. And why struggling with anxiety doesn't mean you're failing God. If you love Jesus deeply, but still feel overwhelmed, anxious, or afraid... this episode is for you. 

You are not alone. 

You are not disqualified. 

And fear doesn't get the final word.
