In this episode, I’m joined by Steve Vandegriff—an experienced educator with a Master’s in Christian Education who teaches both online and in person at Liberty University (where I first met him as one of his students!). Steve also teaches at Regent University and Colorado University, and has written courses for Colorado as well. He is the co-author of Timeless Youth Ministry, Essential Student Ministry, and Disturbing Behaviors.

We dive into what led him to become a teacher, how he goes the extra mile for his students, and his heart for equipping future ministry leaders. Steve shares his passion for being available to help students not just academically, but in real-life ministry. We also explore the importance of building friendships with everyone—including those outside the faith—and why we must remain lifelong students of the Bible.

This episode is packed with wisdom, encouragement, and practical insights for anyone involved in ministry or passionate about investing in others.

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Melanie Chavez—host of the Christian Women Healing Trauma Podcast, Certified Trauma Coach, and founder of the Christian Women Healing Trauma Community. Melanie is on a mission to help women heal from their past and walk in the freedom Christ offers. Through her 12-week program, Surrender to Heal Academy, and her 50 Life-Changing Journal Prompts for Healing, she’s equipping women with the tools they need to surrender their pain and find purpose.

We dive into Melanie’s personal story, including the chaos and childhood trauma she experienced growing up. Together, we explore the path to overcoming generational trauma, breaking free from people-pleasing, and learning to live rooted in God’s truth. Melanie shares what it really means to surrender—through prayer, reading God’s Word, and surrounding yourself with a positive, Christ-centered community—whether that’s a church, small group, or online space.

This episode is full of truth, encouragement, and hope for anyone seeking healing and restoration. God is with you, and there is freedom on the other side of surrender.

In this powerful episode of Uncharted: Navigating Faith and Life, I’m joined by the incredible Catherine Kelly — podcaster, teacher, mother, and devoted follower of Christ. As the host of the Breathe Easy Podcast, Catherine brings a heartfelt and honest perspective as she shares her journey through a season of deep struggle.

We dive into her story — one marked by childhood and family suffering, negative thoughts, and the pain of contemplating divorce. Through it all, Catherine experienced the transformative power of God’s grace. She shares how surrendering control and trusting God completely changed her life.

We also explore the importance of forgiving ourselves and others, how meaningful communication with the people around us and with the Lord brings healing and direction, and how God’s faithfulness brings us from brokenness into peace.

This is a conversation full of truth, hope, and encouragement for anyone navigating a hard season. You’re not alone — and healing is possible.
