In Episode 9 of Walking the Way Podcast, I sit down with Alissa Nazar and Sam Williams for a conversation about faith, community, entrepreneurship, and what can happen when women choose to support and encourage one another.

Alissa returns to the podcast to share more about her heart for helping women grow, connect, and step into what God is calling them to do. We’re also joined by Sam, whose passion for bringing people together and serving her community has created opportunities for connection in simple but meaningful ways.

We talk about building genuine community, using the gifts God has given you, serving others, protecting your time, overcoming procrastination, and learning to surrender your own plans so God can lead the way.

This episode is a reminder that sometimes the most meaningful conversations are the ones we don’t try to control. When we make room for God to lead, He can use our stories, relationships, and everyday lives in ways we never expected.

In Episode 8 of the Walk The Way Podcast, Josie sits down with Pastor Aaron for an honest, faith-filled conversation about encountering Jesus, overcoming addiction and depression, and learning what it truly means to walk closely with God.

Aaron shares how he returned to church at one of the lowest points of his life and experienced the love of Jesus in a way that changed everything. Together, they discuss speaking in tongues, authentic prayer and worship, the importance of Christian community, and why difficulty doesn’t necessarily mean you missed God.

They also explore how the enemy uses distraction, social media, and constant stimulation to pull our attention away from God—and why sharing the gospel isn’t about having every answer. It begins with loving Jesus, asking meaningful questions, listening to people, and sharing what He has done in your own life.

If you’ve been feeling distracted, distant from God, hesitant to share your faith, or unsure whether you truly need a church community, this episode will challenge and encourage you to keep the main thing the main thing: Jesus.

What does it look like to build a business, a marriage, and a life with God at the center?

In Episode 7 of Walk The Way, I sit down with the owners of All Valley Coin & Jewelry for a conversation that goes far beyond coins, gold, and business.

We talk about trusting God’s timing when doors close, walking through seasons of hardship, rebuilding when life doesn’t go according to plan, and understanding that faith doesn’t mean sitting back and waiting for something to happen. Sometimes you have to pray, trust God, and still be willing to put in the work.

We also dive into marriage, working together as husband and wife, learning each other’s strengths and weaknesses, building something as a family, and why having God at the center changes the way you approach business, relationships, and adversity.

All Valley Coin & Jewelry has also become more than a business. It has become a place where conversations happen, people are prayed over, relationships are built, and faith can be lived out through everyday interactions.

This episode is a conversation about resilience, discipline, marriage, business, discernment, and learning to see that sometimes the door God allows to close is the very thing that redirects you toward something greater.

If you’re building a business, walking through a difficult season, questioning God’s timing, or trying to keep your faith at the center of your life, this episode is for you.

🎙️ Welcome to Episode 7 of Walk The Way.

In Episode 6 of Walk the Way, Josie sits down with Ronda and Lisa from Old Town Nutrition in Temecula to talk about faith, friendship, business, and the way God brings the right people together at the right time.

Ronda shares how Old Town Nutrition began, how her parents prayed over every wall before the business opened, and how God transformed both her life and her career. Lisa shares how an “accidental career” became a friendship, a family, and an opportunity to serve her community alongside Ronda.

Together, they discuss recognizing God’s direction, acting on His calling, staying connected to His Word, and allowing a business to become more than a place that sells products. From divine appointments with customers to stopping everything to pray for someone in need, Old Town Nutrition is a beautiful example of what it looks like to keep Christ at the center of your work.

If you’ve ever wondered how God can use your business, your testimony, or even a simple conversation to reach someone, this episode is for you.

In Episode 5 of Walk The Way, Josie sits down with Sheila York, owner of Our Valley Magazine, a Christian publication created to share faith, truth, and hope throughout the community.

Sheila shares her journey of faith, the difference between religion and a genuine relationship with Jesus, and why believers must return to Scripture. Together, they discuss teachings Sheila encountered within the Adventist Church, what the Bible says about salvation and judgment, and why our righteous acts can never replace what Jesus accomplished on the cross.

This conversation explores salvation, spiritual discernment, biblical truth, and the importance of standing firmly on God’s Word in a world filled with deception.

What happens when you stop trying to control your business and fully place it in God’s hands?

In this episode of Walk The Way, I sat down with Brianna, owner of Cool Beans Coffee, a family-owned mobile drink business serving handcrafted cold brews, lemonades, refreshers, matchas and more.

Brianna shares how becoming a mother inspired her to build a business that allowed her to pursue her dreams while prioritizing her faith and family. She opens up about the discouragement she experienced when doors kept closing, why she refused to cut corners and how surrendering the outcome to God led to an overflow of opportunities.

They also talk about the difference between simply carrying the title of “Christian” and truly walking with Christ, salvation versus sanctification, dying to the flesh, speaking truth with grace and learning to trust God’s plan—even when a business doesn’t work out the way we expected.

This conversation is an encouraging reminder for every Christian entrepreneur: your business will fade, but God will always remain faithful.

What happens when the moment you thought would break you becomes the moment that strengthens your faith?

Nick Vaughn, owner of Concealed Solutions and a firearms instructor in Perris, California, joins Walk the Way to share the powerful testimony of his son’s leukemia diagnosis and the unexplainable peace his family experienced in the middle of it.

Nick shares how he believes God began preparing his heart before the diagnosis, why his family refused to let cancer steal their joy, and the unforgettable moments that reminded them God was present throughout the entire journey.

We also talk about discipline, obedience to the Holy Spirit, praying for people instead of judging them, being faithful where God has placed you and trusting Him when you cannot control the outcome.

Nick’s son is now in remission and has completed treatment. This episode is a reminder that even in our most painful seasons, God has already gone before us.

What happens when God asks you to surrender the life you thought you were supposed to live?

In this episode of Walk the Way, Josie sits down with registered nurse, entrepreneur, wife, and homeschooling mother Alissa Nazar. After spending 14 years working in emergency and trauma care, Alissa shares how God led her away from the ER and into a new season rooted in faith, family, integrative health, and entrepreneurship.

Alissa opens up about her battle with anxiety and depression, the moment she fully surrendered her life to God, and how faith transformed her marriage and family. Josie and Alissa also have an honest conversation about biblical submission, femininity, the Proverbs 31 woman, working as a Christian wife and mother, holistic wellness, and questioning what we have been taught about conventional healthcare.

This is a raw conversation about trusting God through uncertainty, following His calling, and having the courage to discuss the topics many Christians avoid.

Who are you really serving: God or man?

It’s easy to become consumed with what others think of us or to place pastors, worship leaders, and other people on a pedestal. But no person should ever take the place of Jesus.

The world will constantly fight for our attention and approval, but we have to keep our eyes fixed on Him. His opinion is the one that matters most.
