The We Love Life Podcast

Are we being faithful with what God has entrusted to us?

In this episode of the We Love Life Podcast, Brian Ottinger sits down with Josh Kappes, Love Life’s Director of Development, for a powerful conversation about biblical stewardship, faithfulness, and trusting God through every season.

Josh shares his personal journey through ministry, family, and difficult seasons of suffering—and how God has used each experience to shape his understanding of stewardship.

Together, they discuss what it means to steward our families, relationships, finances, and God-given opportunities for His glory, while highlighting the importance of generosity and meaningful relationships in mobilizing the Church to stand for life.

“Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.” — 1 Corinthians 4:2

Everything we have belongs to God. The question is: Are we being faithful with what He has placed in our hands?

The Church is still the answer.

In this episode of the We Love Life Podcast, Brian Ottinger and Daniel Parks discuss why lasting change doesn’t ultimately come through politics, programs, or activism—it comes through Jesus Christ working through His Church.

From churches uniting across denominational lines to ordinary believers stepping out in faith, they share why the Church must do more than simply recognize the need—we’re called to show up, pray, serve, and take action.

They also look ahead to the Celebrate Life Prayer Walk on November 14, a day to gather as the body of Christ and celebrate the lives saved and transformed through the Gospel.

Politicians can be part of the answer. But Jesus is the Savior—and the Church is still the answer.

What does it look like to have a faith that can actually be seen?

In this episode of the We Love Life Podcast, Brian Ottinger and Daniel Parks unpack the story in Mark 2 of four friends who refused to let obstacles keep them from bringing a paralyzed man to Jesus. Their faith didn’t stop at seeing a need—it moved them to action.

They discuss what it means to see the need, step into it, push through obstacles, carry the mat together, and ultimately bring people to Jesus.

Because real faith isn’t just something we believe—it should impact the way we live.

See the need. Step into it. And let your faith be seen.

In this episode of the We Love Life Podcast, Daniel Parks and Brian Ottinger talk about the power of simply starting—and being faithful with what God has already placed in your hands.

Love Life’s first prayer walk began with just 32 people. Today, more than 250,000 people have participated in prayer walks across the nation. But it all started with one small step of obedience.

You don’t need to have the entire plan figured out before you move. Start small. Take the next step. Stay faithful. And trust God with the results.

Whatever God has called you to do, don’t let fear, past failures, or waiting for the “perfect time” keep you from starting.

“Do not despise these small beginnings.” — Zechariah 4:10

What does it look like to speak truth without fear—and love people enough to step into the hard places?

In this episode of the We Love Life Podcast, Daniel Parks and Brian Ottinger sit down with Rosaria Butterfield to talk about her remarkable journey from LGBTQ activist and professor of queer theory to follower of Jesus, pastor’s wife, author, and advocate for biblical truth.

Together, they discuss the connection between abortion and the LGBTQ movement, the idols shaping our culture, and why Christians must be equipped to engage with both truth and compassion.

Rosaria also shares a powerful reminder: the Gospel doesn’t simply cover our sin—it gives us victory over its bondage.

The Church doesn’t need to live in fear of the culture. We’re called to know the truth, get equipped, step into the battle, and trust God with the results.

“For such a time as this” isn’t just an encouragement—it’s a call to action.

In this episode of the We Love Life Podcast, Daniel Parks and Brian Ottinger unpack the story of Esther and what it means to recognize the time, place, and position God has given each of us.

Esther faced a choice: remain comfortable or step out in courageous obedience. Her story challenges us to ask the same question today: How are we using our influence, resources, relationships, and opportunities for God’s purposes?

For the Church today, that means being willing to pray, fast, take action, and stand for those who cannot stand for themselves.

You were placed here for such a time as this. How will you respond?

The fourth quarter isn’t the time to coast—it’s time to reassess, re-strategize, make adjustments, and finish strong.

Daniel Parks and Brian Ottinger discuss navigating the fourth quarter of a ministry season—and of life—with urgency, wisdom, and faithfulness.

They explore how to:

God is not finished with you. Keep pressing in. Keep bearing fruit. Finish well.

Is abortion modern-day child sacrifice?

In this episode of the We Love Life Podcast, Brian and Daniel examine the parallels between ancient child sacrifice and abortion today, exploring how fear, prosperity, trust, and spiritual deception shape the choices people make.

But this conversation isn’t about anger—it’s about pointing people to Jesus, healing, hope, and action. The Church is called to expose darkness, love people well, and stand for life.

How should Christians respond when someone mocks the truth, attacks their faith, or tries to provoke an argument?

In this episode of the We Love Life Podcast, Daniel Parks and Brian Ottinger unpack Proverbs 26:4–5 and discuss when to answer a fool—and when it’s wiser to walk away.

We tackle common pro-life objections, hostile social media comments, and how Christians can respond with truth, wisdom, and grace without getting pulled into foolish arguments.

The goal isn’t to win the debate. It’s to point people to Jesus.
