In Part 2 of our conversation with Lynton Levengood, we go deeper into the heart behind the David movie. From the challenges of designing entire worlds from scratch to the small, powerful details most viewers might miss, Lynton gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to bring a story like this to life.

We talk about the moments that impacted him most, the balance between biblical accuracy and creative expression, and the intentional choices that shaped the film—including the beautiful emphasis on David’s relationship with his mom. Lynton also shares personal reflections on how this journey changed him, what he found most challenging, and why he believes this story is resonating so deeply with audiences right now.

If you’re a creative, or simply someone seeking purpose, this episode will leave you inspired to use your gifts with intention.

In this episode, Lynton shares more about his creative journey, how he first became involved in the film, and where it all began. He also takes us into his research process in Israel and how that experience shaped his vision for the project.

We hear about the incredible attention to detail and deep sense of purpose that went into bringing this film to life from the early stages of design to the intentional choices made along the way. This conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to translate a powerful biblical story onto the screen, and the heart behind every element of the production.

We hope you enjoy!!!

We’re kicking off 2026 with a BIG catch-up and a whole lot of gratitude. In this episode, we reflect on how last year wrapped up, recap our very first With Purpose event, and share what this new season is already teaching us about faith, motherhood, identity, and trusting God in the unknown.

We talk about the beauty and the overwhelm, the encouragement God has been placing on our hearts, and what it really means to be crowned with grace — finding our identity not in what we do, but in who we belong to.

And… we announce something BIG that is a huge answer to prayer!

Come catch up with us. 💛

In Part 2 of our conversation with Jean-Marie Stander, we continue her story and talk about some deeply personal and difficult seasons of her life.

Jean-Marie opens up about grief, loss, and the questions that come when life doesn’t unfold the way we expect it to. She shares how her faith was challenged, how God met her in the middle of the pain, and what it looked like to keep trusting Him through it all.

She also shares honestly about her health journey, including the removal of her uterus, and how navigating pain, identity, and womanhood has shaped her trust in the Lord.

Through unanswered prayers, deep sorrow, and moments of joy, Jean-Marie reflects on how God has been her constant help and comfort and how suffering has refined and strengthened her faith.

This episode is a tender reminder that even in the hardest seasons, God is near, faithful, and purposeful. Jean-Marie also leaves us with encouragement to live boldly for Christ and to find our true purpose in Him.

In today’s episode, we’re joined by the wonderful Jean-Marie Stander for Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Jean-Marie shares her journey of faith from growing up in a sporty, competitive family alongside her brother, Olympic swimmer Ryk Neethling, to navigating marriage, moving across countries, and stepping into motherhood.

With honesty and grace, she opens up about the challenges she faced while waiting to start her family, and how seasons of uncertainty and infertility shaped her faith and trust in God. Through both joy and suffering, Jean-Marie shares how God has remained faithful in every season, shaping her faith and deepening her trust in Him.

This is Part 1 of 2 — stay tuned for the continuation of Jean-Marie’s story.

If you haven’t listened to Part 1 of this conversation, we encourage you to start there first!

In this episode, we continue our devotional on God's Will.

We talk about what gets in the way of our joy and gratitude — how life’s disappointments, unanswered prayers, and heartache can test our trust in God’s will. Chrissie shares a personal story of prayer in the hospital, and we reflect on what it means to trust God even when His answers don’t align with our desires.

We also unpack the “safety nets” we tend to cling to - our idols of control, comfort, or security — and what it looks like to surrender them to the One who sustains us.

As we close this two-part conversation, we’re reminded that God’s will is not a person, place, or process — it’s a posture of the heart. A daily invitation to rejoice, pray, and give thanks, trusting that He is good and His purposes are perfect.

Referenced Scripture: Psalm 115, Psalm 116, 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18

What is God’s will — and how can we know it?

In this week’s devotional episode, we talk about what God’s will isn’t — it’s not random, a lottery ticket, or something hidden — and what it is: His sovereign plan, His revealed truth in Scripture, and His desire for us to walk in obedience and trust.

We also unpack what it means to trust God’s plan when life doesn’t go as we expected, and how surrendering our own will leads to deeper faith and peace.

Join us as we seek to understand and live out the will of God in our everyday lives.

Scriptures referenced: Psalm 33:11, Isaiah 46:9, Luke 10:26–27, 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, Proverbs 3:5–6, and more.

In this week’s episode, we’re unpacking some of the biggest hot topics right now—Netflix’s K-Pop Demon Hunters, Charlie Kirk’s legacy, and the latest rapture predictions. What do all of these have in common? They force us to wrestle with good, evil, and the gift of free will. At the end of the day, what we do with that free will matters—and it points us back to God as the ultimate standard of truth.

But here’s the real question: Are you ready for heaven? And if you knew your time was short, are you living in a way that reflects it?

Should Christians do yoga? It’s a question many are asking, especially as yoga has become so popular in schools, gyms, and wellness spaces. At first glance, it looks like harmless stretching—but what are the spiritual roots behind it, and why should believers be cautious?

In this episode, we’re joined by Lindsay, a Pilates instructor who once practiced yoga but felt convicted to step away. She shares her journey, why Pilates offers a safer alternative, and how we can care for our bodies while protecting our spirits.

If you’ve ever wondered about yoga’s true origins—or whether Christians can separate the exercise from its spiritual side—this conversation will equip and encourage you.

✨ Tune in and discover a better way forward.

In this special catch-up episode, Chrissie and Keryn open their hearts about the past few months — the loss of a beloved grandmother, the beauty of seeing God at work in Thailand, wrestling with fear, longing for heaven, lessons in waiting, and even a surprising look at spiritual battles in pop culture.

This isn’t a “topic episode” — it’s an open door into our lives and what God is teaching us right now. Our prayer is that somewhere in these stories, questions, and little God-moments, you’ll find encouragement, perspective, and maybe even a fresh desire to lean into Him in your own season.
