Have you ever opened your Bible with the best intentions—only to feel confused a few minutes later?

Maybe you’ve quietly wondered, I just don’t get the Bible.

In this episode, we’re trading the lie that Scripture is too complicated for the truth that you can study the Bible with confidence and joy—and discover the living God who speaks through its pages.

Author, speaker, and podcast host Kelly Needham joins me to talk about why so many believers feel intimidated by the Bible and how that narrative can change. Kelly shares practical tools to help you approach Scripture with curiosity and confidence, move beyond simply checking a spiritual box, and begin encountering God through His Word.

If you’ve ever felt behind, unsure where to start, or discouraged in your Bible reading, this conversation is for you.

Because the Bible isn’t a test you pass or fail—it’s an invitation to know God.

Ever found yourself thinking, “I’ll be okay once this is over”? Once the grief lifts, the diagnosis changes, the prayer's finally answered... you know, once you see the light at the end of the tunnel?

But what if the tunnel feels long… or endless?

In this episode, we’re trading the lie “I’ll see the light when I get to the end of the tunnel” for the truth that you can see the Light God even in the darkness.

Pastor and author Chad Roberts joins me to share his powerful story of unexpectedly losing his eyesight and discovering what it really means to trust God when life literally and figuratively goes dark.

If you’re in a season where prayers feel unanswered or the future feels uncertain, this conversation is for you. Let's find together how God doesn’t wait for the darkness to lift before He meets us there.

Because even in the dark, you can still see God.

Ever found yourself thinking, ‘I’ve followed Jesus for years—why does this still feel hard?’

If that question has crossed your mind, you’re not alone.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Kristen LaValley, author of Growing Up Saved, who shares how saying the sinner’s prayer at a young age eventually led to deeper questions, seasons where faith felt heavy, and the guilt grew stronger.

Yet Kristen gently reminds us we can bring our real questions to a God who isn’t intimidated by them, but holds all the answers. As we do, we'll find how He uses it to deepen our roots in Him even further.

Together, let's learn how to shift from something to prove to something simply received, how to sit with questions without fearing them, and what it looks like to keep trusting God when you don’t have all the answers. God isn’t asking you to have it all figured out—just to keep walking with Him, one honest, faithful step at a time.

What if the reason you haven’t found peace yet isn’t because your life is too loud… but because you’ve been waiting for it to finally quiet down?

So many of us believe the subtle lie: Peace will come when this season settles.

But Psalm 23 tells a very different story.

In this powerful conversation, Bible teacher and author Tara Dew joins us to unpack the truth that peace isn’t the reward at the end of a calmer life — it’s the gift found in close proximity to the Shepherd.

Her new book, Overflowing Peace, walks verse-by-verse through Psalm 23, inviting us to slow down and rediscover a familiar passage with fresh eyes. Together, let's hear how biblical peace exists:

In valleys

In the presence of enemies

In the middle of unresolved chaos

Ever wondered how to talk to kids about scary things—storms, sickness, or other frightening moments—and they wonder if God is mad at them? Or maybe you’ve struggled with that yourself as an adult.

It’s easy to carry this lie that when bad things happen, God must be angry, punishing, or absent. But the truth of the matter is God is present in the storms, big or small. He never stops loving His children, even when life feels out of control, and He works through hard moments to show His promises and hope.

Join me as I break this down with Courtney Reissig, a Bible teacher, author, and mom of four, who opens up about the storm that scared her kids, and together, let's learn how we as families can talk about fear, trust, and God’s love in a way that’s relatable, practical, and full of hope.

Ever wonder if God’s promises rise and fall with how well you perform? If God’s favor must be maintained—or if His faithfulness might waver when you fall short?

When that assumption creeps in, the book of Joshua confronts it head-on. In this conversation with Jen Wilkin—Bible teacher, best-selling author, and a trusted guide helping believers grow in biblical literacy—we open Scripture together to see how God ensures the fulfillment of every promise He makes.

Not because of our consistency, effort, or worthiness, but because of His unwavering faithfulness.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• The lie that God’s promises depend on your performance—and the truth that sets you free

• Lessons on inheritance, family, and blessing in God’s timing

• Fun rapid-fire questions at the end so you can get to know Jen personally

Key Takeaway: God’s promises don’t rest on your effort—they rest on His faithfulness. Joshua reminds us that God goes before His people, stays with us in the unknown, and finishes what He starts. Obedience isn’t how we earn God’s presence—it’s how we respond to it faithfully.

Have you ever wondered… what if my best days are already behind me? After loss, sickness, or life just takes a turn you never would have chosen.

Join me as I sit down with the girl who has been there, Brittany Price Brooker, yet her story is a living testimony that God’s goodness is not cancelled by tragedy — and that redemption can grow in places we thought were only ashes. You'll walk away knowing He is still writing your story. And He is not finished yet.

Ever hit a point where you just… feel forgotten? You’re praying, doing all the “right” things, trying to keep your faith steady—but heaven’s quiet. Everyone else is getting their breakthrough, their answered prayer, their happy ending… and you’re over here wondering, “Did God skip over me?”

It's here where we can start believing the sneaky little lie: “God doesn’t care. He’s given up on me.”

But what if we’re misinterpreting the situation?

What if what we’re calling silence is preparation?

What if God absolutely cares more than we could ever know and what if He cares about every detail of your life?

Join me as I interview Whitney Lowe, author of Called Back to Who You Are and Set Your Eyes Higher, to trade this lie and discover the freeing truth for yourself. __________________________________________________________________
