In Part 2 of Tanner’s testimony, we step into the silent battle that followed the tragedy. Tanner’s life was once the talk of the town—always watched, always evaluated. Everywhere he went, he became whoever people expected him to be, until he couldn’t tell who he was anymore. That’s when the enemy’s lie took root: “People don’t love you—they just feel sorry for you.”

This lie drove him into a life of approval-chasing—working for worth, performing for acceptance, and numbing the ache with alcohol and marijuana.

He'd eventually go to built the life he thought would fix everything—marriage, a child, a home, a career. But even with everything he thought he wanted, he hit the darkest depression of his life and was left with the question... “Is this really it?”

But God was not finished.
In one desperate moment—in a cold shower—Jesus met him. Not in a sermon, not in a church service, but face-to-face in the place he least expected. One encounter, one conversation with the living God, and everything changed.

Today’s episode isn’t just a story—it’s an invitation.
We pray it doesn’t just make you think…
We pray it makes you change.

Look within your own heart and ask the question Tanner had to face:
“Am I really LIVING for Jesus?”

In week one of Tanner’s story, we walk through his battle with cancer, and the heartbreak of losing his mom to the same fight. He opens up about the anger, confusion, and deep questions he faced toward God, wondering how He could be all-knowing and all-loving while allowing such pain.

Yet even in the chaos, his mom’s faith became an anchor that would one day pull him back in.
What our small town thought they knew about his story was only the surface. Now, Tanner is sharing everything the way it was meant to be heard—through his own voice, and through the lens of God’s redemption.

This story is more than a series of tragic events, It’s a powerful, moving journey of raw honesty, unexpected hope, and a God who can turn trials into testimonies.

Part 2 releases next week. Do not miss it. This testimony will shake you, strengthen you, and remind you that no pain is wasted in the hands of God.

Is it God? The enemy? Or just your own thoughts? Every thought tells a story about who you are and what you’re worth. But not every voice deserves your trust. One voice directs you toward truth. One distracts you with lies. And one—yours—is left to decide which to believe. This episode explores how to discern God’s voice from the noise around and within you.

This might be one of the most important conversations we will ever had. 

How did we turn so far...? 

Somewhere along the way, Church became routine and worship became performance. In this conversation, we open our hearts about what’s been breaking them — the distance between who we are and who we were called to be.
We serve a God worthy of everything, yet we’ve reduced time with Him to a Sunday checklist.This isn’t about doing church anymore… it’s about being the Church again. Our hearts are grieved as we look at how far we’ve turned, but there’s still hope.
It’s time to return — to the purity of worship, and the heart of Jesus.

It’s a heart check kind of episode: learning to plan, but also to trust. To evaluate where we’ve been, and to hand what’s next over to God.

Is this the end of our podcast journey… or just the beginning?
If you know us, you know we ALWAYS talk about checking the motives of your heart-- but what does that mean and how do you do it? This week we walk you through it as the Lord reveals it to us.

Join us as we wrestle with those questions and reflect on Proverbs 16:2:

This week’s episode almost never aired. We wrestled with the tension of asking, “Is this conviction from the Spirit—that what we’re saying might not be right? Or is it just fear of what people might think?” Could it simply be our fear of letting you all down? Maybe our pride was getting in the way of admitting that we don’t know everything— but we don't...and that’s okay.

Through this conversation, we were reminded of our own humanity and our ultimate purpose: to point everything back to God. We are not all-knowing, and your beliefs should never be built solely on our words or this podcast. 

This episode dives into Halloween, traditions, and more.  The purpose: examine the heart behind what we do—and why we do it. We encourage you to ask yourself the same questions and seek truth for yourself.

Your feed is full, but your soul might be starving. Let’s talk about what you’re letting in—and how to shift from being influenced by the world to being shaped by the Word.
You are what you eat, listen to, and watch, so what is creating the algorithm for you life?

Seven years ago Tori and Kaitlyn nearly lost their lives in a devastating car wreck. They faced the sting of gossip, the weight of survivor’s guilt, a deep fear of death, and a deeper fear of losing loved ones.
This episode isn’t just about surviving—it’s about living fully in the life Christ gives.
We are all offered a "second" chance; a story of redemption.
Don't wait for a wake up call to turn your life around, because you may not get one.
The choice to make is Jesus, the time you have is now.

Lukewarm faith isn’t just about calling yourself a Christian but never living it out. Sometimes it’s doing all the “right” things for God—while forgetting Him in the middle of it. In this episode, we dive into Jesus’ warning: “If you are not hot or cold but lukewarm, I’ll spit you out of my mouth.” (Revelation 3:16) This conversation is convicting for everyone—including us as hosts. So how do we guard against becoming lukewarm? How do we stay fully alive in our faith, not just going through the motions? Let’s talk about what it really means to live on fire for Jesus.

Revival is the word on everyone’s lips right now. From national conversations to viral social media posts, people are asking: Is revival really happening? In this episode, we unpack what true revival actually is—not just an event, an experience, or a trend. It’s about lasting change, real faith, and a life that points to Christ.

Revival doesn’t start with a crowd—it starts with one person fully surrendered to Jesus

Could that person be you?
