What does it really mean to live with courage? In this episode, TJ unpacks the kind of courage that changes lives. Not the reckless kind, but the God-centered courage that steps up even when knees are shaking.

Through biblical truth, personal insight, and real-life examples, TJ explores how:

• Courage is cultivated in small victories, like David facing Goliath.
• Courage isn’t careless, but rooted in wisdom and purpose.
• Courage doesn’t always feel confident, but chooses to move forward anyway.
• Courage is contagious, sparking movements that shape history.
• Courage finds its ultimate anchor in the cross of Christ.

This episode challenges us to live a life marked by bold faith, limited regret, and to make an eternal impact. 

In a culture addicted to complaining, comparison, and self-pity, how do we resist the pull toward victimhood and instead live with gratitude and hope? In this episode, TJ opens up about how to avoid the trap of grumbling and wrecking gratitude by training our eyes to see God’s daily mercies and reframing our pain as a platform for God’s redemptive work. With personal vulnerability and insights from scripture, we will learn to unapologetically celebrate the small mercies that lead to big wins!

In this powerful episode, TJ sits down with Alex Sam, an Indian missionary whose life journey is nothing short of miraculous. Orphaned as an infant, he ran away from the orphanage at the age of 8 to the streets of Mumbai. Alex survived as a ragpicker, beggar, shoeshiner, and street vendor until he encountered the life-changing love of Jesus.

Now leading the Everett Mission in India alongside his wife, Sunita Marandi, Alex shares how God redeemed his story and is using him to bring hope to the hopeless. This episode is a testimony to God’s grace and how true transformation fuels lifelong mission.

In this episode, TJ unpacks “The Difficulty Cycle.” As a society, we often chase the easy route, avoiding discomfort because difficulty introduces pressure. But what if difficulty isn’t the enemy?

TJ walks through four points that help us embrace and grow through hard seasons:

1. Difficulty isn’t always bad
2. It illuminates priorities
3. It demands creativity
4. It builds confidence

If you're in a season of difficulty, take a moment, listen in, and be reminded that God often uses pressure to shape us.

Pastors and Ministry Leaders — this podcast was created with you in mind.

In ministry, there are seasons when staff or members leave — not always due to fault or failure, but simply because it wasn’t the right fit. These moments can be painful. It's important to allow the loss to matter, to grieve, and to grow from it. And yet, we’re still called to keep showing up — to lead and love those who didn’t leave.

If you’re navigating the departure of someone from your team or congregation, tune in as TJ offers a biblical perspective on how to process it with wisdom, grace, and love.

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is perfected in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 

In this episode, TJ sits down with Amber Smith to discuss the beautifully broken road from tragedy to the gospel.

 When we measure ourselves against others, it often leads to one of two outcomes—insecurity or pride. 

In this episode, TJ discusses how comparison, if left unchecked, can spread from our heads to our hearts. Comparison is a silent killer. It will prevent you from celebrating others, building community, and ultimately destroy you. Don’t let it!

You are not a big deal! 

Delight in differences. 

Learn from those around you. 

Trust in God!

It’s time to burn the resume! 🔥

In this episode, TJ discusses how truly understanding and partnering with your team, rather than simply trying to convince them to follow you, can unlock their full potential.  By showing genuine interest, building trust, offering careful critiques, and supporting your team, you create an environment where growth thrives.
