Pastor Vern Frank didn’t grow up hostile to church—he grew up in church. Baptized as a baby, raised in multiple denominations, and familiar with Christian language, he thought he was fine. But behind the hymns and habits, his heart was far from God. By his mid-teens, he’d stepped away from church and was heading deeper into sin and rebellion.

Everything shifted the night he and his girlfriend hit a woman crossing the road who later died on the scene. The tragedy shook him to his core. Out of that darkness, at 19 years old, Vern found himself awake at 2 a.m. watching a TV evangelist explain, for the first time in a way he could grasp, what it meant to be born again—and that Jesus needed to be Lord, not just a vague belief. On his living room floor, he got on his knees, surrendered his life, and instantly knew he was changed.

In this episode we talk about:

• Growing up “in church” but never hearing how to truly be saved

• The night of the fatal accident and how God used tragedy without causing it

• Getting radically saved in front of the TV and waking up a different person

• How his girlfriend (now wife) could see the change before he even explained it

• The difference between adding Jesus to your life and actually giving Him everything

• Why only a small percentage of Christians truly live “all in” and what that looks like

• Discerning a call to ministry and waiting 22+ years before stepping into full-time pastoring

• Hearing God’s leading to move from Washington to Iowa—and then back to Washington

• Practical advice for believers who think they’re being called but aren’t 100% sure

• Clearing out “fog” and condemnation so you can hear God clearly

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I really surrendered?” or “Is this God calling me or just my own desire?” this conversation will help you slow down, examine your heart, and take your next step in obedience.

#UnmaskedPodcast #ChristianEncouragement #CalebMatthews #FaithUnfiltered

Today on Unmasked, Wesley sits down with global speaker, dream interpreter, and spiritual strategist Caleb Matthews, founder of The SeeLink. For more than 20 years, Caleb has traveled the world teaching believers and pre-believers alike how to understand the “DNA of their design,” recognize God’s voice, and spot the spiritual “links” in both the day and night seasons.

In this powerful conversation, Caleb shares:
• His early encounters with God through dreams at age six
• Growing up homeschooled and learning to discern the voice of God
• Missionary stories from Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and Tanzania
• Lessons from ministering at New Age festivals and spiritual gatherings
• How to discern whether a dream is from God, the soul, or the enemy
• His 3-step framework: Construct, Conform, Contract
• How to realign with God’s design when you feel stuck
• How to talk about faith with unbelievers using parables
• What it means to live “post-cross, pre-curse”
• How to spot the “See-links” God is showing you daily

You’ll walk away with practical steps to gain clarity, sharpen your discernment, and step boldly into who God designed you to be.

In Episode 11 of Unmasked, Wesley walks through the five real stages of change—not the ones we wish we had, not the ones people pressure us into, but the actual stages every person must move through before transformation becomes real and sustainable.

Whether you’re battling a habit, healing from your past, trying to grow spiritually, or simply wanting to become healthier emotionally, this episode breaks down why change takes time and why God walks with us through every step.

In this episode, Wesley covers:

• Stage 1: Not Ready to Change — The stage we rarely admit but all experience

• Stage 2: Thinking About Change — The holy tension where conviction rises

• Stage 3: Ready to Change — The internal shift that marks a turning point

• Stage 4: Taking Action — What obedience and courage look like in real time

• Stage 5: Maintaining the Change — Why consistency is the hardest and most important part

You’ll hear practical insight, biblical encouragement, and an honest look at why we can’t rush ourselves—or anyone else—through the process.

In this highlight from my conversation with Caleb Matthews, we talk about how God values character over gifting — and why that truth changes everything. Caleb breaks down what real spiritual maturity looks like and why developing your inner life matters more than any talent or platform. It’s a short clip with a whole lot of wisdom.

Full episode coming soon.

In this clip, Wesley and Kathleen address the internal battle of self-doubt — and how easily the enemy sneaks in with lies that make us feel unqualified or incapable of following God’s call. This short moment offers clarity, encouragement, and a reminder that God doesn’t speak through fear or accusation. He calls, equips, and strengthens — even when our own thoughts try to say otherwise.
