That's the message Thann Bennett has been carrying for years — and in this conversation, he unpacks it in a way that is both deeply rooted in Scripture and completely practical for everyday life.

Thann is the author of My Fame, His Fame, a speaker, former public policy leader, and co-founder of ministries serving foster and adoptive families. He grew up in a family shaped by a father who broke a generational curse — a man who lost both parents at age eight and chose a different legacy. And Thann has spent his life paying that forward.

Today in part one, we dig into identity — what it means to be a child of the King, why the pressure lifts the moment you stop trying to build your own name, and why the mission God calls you to can never be fully walked out without the foundation of belief underneath it. We also talk about obedience — the decade-long argument Thann had with God about writing, the April morning he finally said yes, and the nine weeks that changed everything. 

It's not about you. It's about the One who formed you for Himself. And when that truth finally settles in — everything else starts to fall into place.

Rheanna Arfsten is back for part two, and this conversation goes somewhere really good. Rheanna co-leads Freedom Culture and the Occupy Freedom Ministry with her husband Justin, and today she's opening up about something deeply practical and deeply personal — the power of prayer. Not prayer as a religious duty or a last resort when things fall apart. Prayer as a living, breathing connection to the Holy Spirit that runs underneath everything else you do. 

We talk about what it actually looks like to pray continuously — and why it's less about finding the right words and more about inclining your heart toward God throughout your entire day. Rheanna shares practical ways to start building that muscle. And she tells two stories — one involving a lost action figure in a Super Target and one involving cookies and a neighbor — that will make you want to start listening for the Holy Spirit in the smallest moments of your life. 

She also closes with an encouragement that is equal parts honest and convicting: do it when it's hard. Do it anyway. Even when you have nothing to say. Especially then.

That's the question Rheanna Arfsten has been sitting with for years of motherhood. And the answer she's found is both simpler and deeper than most of us expect. It starts with where your eyes are looking. 

Rheanna is the co-founder of Freedom Culture and the Occupy Freedom Ministry, a two-time bestselling author, and a homeschooling mom of four who came to faith at 22 with no church background and a painful childhood behind her. God has used every single part of it. 

In part one of this conversation, Rheanna shares what inspired her book Raising Nations — and why it's not really a parenting book at all. It's about the eternal substance being built in you as you raise your kids. The transformation that happens not when everything goes right, but when you fix your gaze on God in the middle of everything that doesn't. 

We talk about the ski instructor analogy from Colossians 3 that reframed how she thinks about daily life, the morning practice that carried her through her heaviest seasons, and why she believes the greatest gift you can give your kids isn't a perfect mom — it's a mom who keeps pointing them toward a perfect God. 

This one ends with a prayer that is worth every minute of the conversation that led up to it.

In part two with Kaycee Stanley, we're talking about what the Reel Hope Project actually does — and why it matters more than most of us realize. Kaycee and her team make profile videos for kids in foster care who are waiting to be adopted, turning a county file full of hard statistics into a two-minute window into who a kid actually is. Funny. Creative. Worth knowing. Worth choosing. 

We hear about the kids who didn't want to be adopted — until they saw themselves the way Kaycee’s team saw them. We talk about what it looks like to sit with someone in grief without rushing them out of it, and why fun might be the most underrated tool for connection in any relationship. 

And then Kaycee shares something her mentor told her in her early 20s that reframed community entirely. If the goal is just to be best friends, it'll never hold. But if you're all holding onto Jesus at the center — you'll work through whatever.. That's not just advice for roommates. It's advice for marriage, for small groups, for anyone trying to build something real with imperfect people.

If you've been waiting for community to happen to you, this episode is a gentle nudge to start pursuing it — with intention, with vision, and with Jesus at the center.

Kaycee Stanley is the founder of the Reel Hope Project — an organization she and her husband Pete built to change the narrative around foster care and adoption by telling the stories of kids who are waiting. It's a mission that's deeply personal. Kaycee met her son Tez on one of their own video shoots, and today they have four kids spanning from toddlers to a twenty-year-old finding his way in the world. 

In part one of this conversation, we talk about what the long season of preparation actually looked like, how to speak identity into your kids in a way that actually lands, and why calling out who God made someone to be sounds different at five than it does at twenty. Kaycee also opens up about some of the hardest parts of adoption — the complexity of biological family relationships and what it looks like to keep bringing something back to the Lord when the next right step keeps changing. 

And she leaves us with a phrase that might just reframe your entire season of waiting: intimacy over impact.

In part two with Tori Benham, we're picking up the conversation on lies, community, and what it actually looks like to receive the gifts God puts right in front of you. Tori is a mom of four, emotional intelligence coach, and co-author of Beauty and Battle and Unshakeable — and she shares a convicting and beautiful story. 

We talk about the lies that quietly fuel anxiety in motherhood — the subconscious ones you don't even know you're believing — and a three-step framework straight from Scripture to recognize them, renounce them, and replace them with truth. Because sometimes the most destructive thoughts aren't even lies. They just spiral until your greatest ally feels like your greatest enemy. 

But the moment that stopped us? Tori hearing three words from the Lord that changed everything. Let it count. The small conversations. The neighbor next door. The kids' friends who show up at your kitchen table. Community doesn't always look like what we expect. But God is faithful in the ordinary if we're willing to receive it. 

You are not alone. And the proof might already be closer than you think.

In this first episode of our special May Motherhood series, we sit down with Tori Benham — mentor, mom of four, emotional intelligence coach, and co-author of Beauty and Battle and Unshakeable. 

Tori walks us through something she wishes someone had told her early on: that God modeled a rhythm in Genesis One that most moms never give themselves permission to follow. Create. Pause. See the good. Not because everything is perfect — but because you're doing more right than you think. 

We also get into the four stages of parenting — babysitter, referee, coach, teammate — and what it looks like to lead your kids toward a season where they actually want you on their team. And Tori gets honest about the thing that trips most moms up: fear. How it sneaks in, shuts you down, and convinces you that you're not capable — when love is the very thing that makes you more than capable. 

You are not failing. You are growing. This conversation will help you see the difference.

In our second conversation with Noah Egeberg, we're talking about the kind of faith community that changes people. Not the kind where you show up, shake some hands, and head home unchanged — but the kind where hungry people get in a room together and God just starts moving. 

Noah shares how a simple desire for connection led him to start Lighthouse — no strategy, no launch plan, just a handful of people and a willingness to say yes before he had it all figured out. And what grew out of that obedience is the kind of story that makes you want to go start something. 

We also dig into discipleship — and Noah reframes it in a way that might surprise you. It's not about becoming someone's spiritual guru. It's about pulling out a chair and helping someone find their seat at the table Jesus already prepared. The goal? Get them so connected to God that they don't need you anymore. 

Noah also shares something he's still working through himself: the tension between having every resource available and still falling into apathy. We're the most resourced generation and the most distracted. That's not an excuse — it's a call to be intentional. 

You were made for more than a lukewarm faith. This episode will remind you of that.

In this episode of the Everyday Faith Podcast, we sit down with Noah Egeberg to talk about what it really looks like to live a life of bold obedience—even when it sounds unconventional, uncomfortable, or completely unexpected.

From welding in a small town to building a water system in Uganda, Noah shares how a deep encounter with God’s Word led him into radical surrender—and a series of “only God” moments that changed the trajectory of his life.

But the story doesn’t stop there.

Now as a business owner and deacon, Noah opens up about the tension of feeling called to ministry while working in the marketplace—and how God is reshaping his understanding of calling, purpose, and influence. This conversation dives into how to recognize God’s voice, trust Him in your current season, and live out your faith right where you are.

You’ll be challenged to rethink what obedience really means—not as a pathway to results, but as a pathway to deeper intimacy with God.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re on the right path or wondered how your everyday work fits into God’s plan, this episode will remind you that sometimes the most powerful step of faith is simply saying yes.

In part two of our conversation, Rachel Bailey joins us to dive deeper into the power of belief—and how the lies we carry can shape our entire relationship with God and ourselves.

With honesty and clarity, Rachel shares how lies aren’t always loud or obvious—they’re often subtle, rooted in past experiences, and reinforced over time until they feel like truth. But those beliefs can limit what we see God do in our lives.

The good news? You don’t have to stay stuck. 

In this episode, you’ll learn a simple, practical framework to:

• Identify the lies you’ve been believing
• Break agreement with them
• Replace them with God’s truth

This conversation is both eye-opening and freeing—giving you tools to renew your mind, hear the Holy Spirit more clearly, and walk in the fullness of who God says you are.

Because when you change what you believe, everything changes.

In today’s episode of the Everyday Faith Podcast, we’re sitting down with Rachel Bailey to explore a powerful and often overlooked part of our faith journey: the lies we believe—and how they shape the way we see God, ourselves, and our circumstances. 

Rachel shares her story of growing up in the church, walking through deep personal loss, and later navigating brokenness in her marriage. Through those moments, she reveals how subtle lies about God’s character took root in her heart—and how the Holy Spirit gently exposed and uprooted them over time. 

Together, we unpack how the enemy works through deception, how those lies can quietly influence our thoughts and identity, and why recognizing them is the first step toward true freedom. Rachel also introduces a practical, Spirit-led framework for breaking agreement with those lies and replacing them with truth. 

This conversation is honest, eye-opening, and deeply encouraging for anyone who has ever wrestled with doubt, disappointment, or questions about God’s goodness. 

Because the truth is: God is still speaking. He is still healing. And when we invite Him in, He will reveal what’s been holding us back—and lead us into the freedom we were created for.

In today’s episode of the Everyday Faith Podcast, we continue our conversation with Erik Collins, campus pastor at Eagle Brook Church, as we talk about what it looks like to follow God into new seasons, trust Him with uncomfortable transitions, and discover the real purpose of church.

Erik shares about leaving a student ministry role he deeply loved to step into a new calling as campus pastor, and how that transition stretched his faith, reshaped his dependence on God, and reminded him that obedience often means taking the next step without seeing the full plan.

Along the way, this conversation turns toward a powerful and practical topic: what church is actually for. Together, we talk about why church isn’t just a place to attend for an hour each week, but a place to worship, serve, grow, and build meaningful community. Sunday may be the starting point, but true transformation happens in the everyday rhythms of walking with Jesus Monday through Saturday.

If you’ve ever found yourself drifting into routine, wondering why church feels disconnected from the rest of your week, or struggling to find your place in community, this episode will encourage you to lean in. God didn’t design His people to consume church from the sidelines—He invites us to be part of it, to grow through it, and to let it shape the way we live every day.

In this episode of the Everyday Faith Podcast, we sit down with Erik Collins, campus pastor at Eagle Brook Church, to hear a powerful story of failure, redemption, and encountering the unconditional love of God in a way that changes everything.

Erik shares how he grew up in church and knew all the “right” things about God—but never truly understood them in his heart. After years of chasing success and hiding sin, everything came crashing down in one defining moment that exposed it all. But what followed wasn’t rejection—it was grace. 

From there, God began rewriting Erik’s story—healing his past, calling him into ministry, and leading him step by step into a life he never could have planned on his own.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between knowing about God and actually experiencing Him, this episode will remind you that His grace is real, His love is personal, and He can redeem any story.

In this episode of the Everyday Faith Podcast, we continue our conversation with Super Bowl champion, speaker, and author Ben Utecht as we explore Pillar Four: Pursue Community. 

From the locker room to everyday life, Ben shares how his years in team sports shaped his understanding of relationships, collaboration, and the power of doing life together. But biblical community goes even deeper. Throughout Scripture, we see that faith was never meant to be lived in isolation—Jesus built a community of disciples, Paul strengthened communities of believers, and even creation itself reflects the power of relationship.  

Together, we unpack why pursuing community requires intentionality, vulnerability, and resilience. Whether it’s making the first call, stepping outside your comfort zone, or leaning on trusted friends during difficult seasons, meaningful relationships don’t happen by accident—they’re built through action and faith. 

If you’ve ever felt isolated, struggled to maintain relationships, or wondered how to build deeper connections in your faith journey, this conversation will remind you that God designed us for community—and that sometimes the most powerful step is simply choosing to reach out. 

Because when we pursue people with the love of Christ, we open the door for lives to be transformed.

In today’s episode, we’re sitting down with Super Bowl champion and speaker Ben Utecht to explore Pillar Three: Commit to Obedience. 

Together, we unpack a powerful truth — that the original sin was an act of disobedience, and ever since, humanity has wrestled with choosing self over surrender. But obedience was never meant to feel like control or restriction. It’s meant to be the evidence of love. 

Ben shares a defining moment from his college football career when pride, injury, and identity collided — and how a bold, Spirit-led confrontation brought him back to surrender. What followed wasn’t shame, but transformation. 

You won’t get it right every time. But every day is another opportunity to choose surrender, deepen your love for Christ, and build your life on the rock.

In Part 2 of our conversation with R.D. Saunders, we’re moving on to the second pillar of everyday faith: embrace your mission. 

R.D. reminds us that every single believer has a mission. The real question isn’t if you have one — it’s whether you’ve embraced it.

From powerful stories about simple obedience to raw reflections on leadership, submission, and personal growth, this conversation cuts through the excuses that keep us stuck. Waiting to feel ready. Waiting to know more. Waiting for the perfect timing.

What if waiting is the very thing keeping you from experiencing the power of God working through you? You don’t need more knowledge. You don’t need a bigger platform. You don’t need a title. You need a willing heart and a simple “yes.”

If you’ve been hesitating, overthinking, or wondering where to start, this episode will remind you that mission begins right where you are — in everyday moments, with everyday obedience.

R.D. shares his personal story of coming to faith through the sacrificial love of godly grandparents, reminding us that belief isn’t just taught—it’s caught when we see it lived out. Together, we explore the reality that everyone believes in something, but what we believe shapes everything: our identity, our decisions, our comfort, and our obedience.

This conversation also dives into why following Jesus will stretch us beyond comfort, how belief grows through proximity to God, and what it looks like to keep trusting when life doesn’t match what you hoped for.

If you’ve felt stuck, distant, disappointed, or like your faith is being tested—this episode will encourage you to return to the foundation: who God is, what He says about you, and why belief changes everything.

In this episode of the Everyday Faith Podcast, we are joined again by John and Shannon Velsor for a rich conversation about harvest season, planting faithfully, and understanding God’s timing. Together, we explore why Scripture talks just as much about reaping as it does sowing—and why harvest is not a passive season, but one that requires preparation, diligence, and stewardship. 

John and Shannon reflect on seasons of waiting, obedience, and unseen work, sharing how planting seeds of faithfulness, forgiveness, prayer, and trust prepares the soil for future fruit. 

If you’re longing to see fruit in your life but aren’t sure how to remain faithful in the in-between, this episode will encourage you to keep planting, keep trusting, and be ready for the harvest God is growing beneath the surface.

In this episode of the Everyday Faith Podcast, we welcome back John Velsor—this time with his wife, Shannon—for a powerful conversation about the cruciform life: living in full surrender to God with sacrificial love toward others. 

Together, we unpack how sowing seeds of forgiveness, blessing, and faithfulness in a hard season can lead to a true “harvest” on the other side. You’ll hear stories of unexpected provision, encouragement, and the internal transformation that happens when you ask, “God, what are you doing in me?” — not just “Why is this happening to me?” 

If you’re in a difficult season, waiting on God, or learning how to forgive and keep going when it hurts, this episode will remind you: what feels like punishment might actually be preparation—and resurrection can follow the cross.

Instead of setting too many goals and burning out, we talk about why fewer, more intentional goals - rooted in purpose and lived out in community - lead to greater clarity, freedom, and long-term growth. If you’re tired of setting goals that don’t stick and want a better way to grow in your everyday faith, this episode will help you start strong and finish well.

In this episode of the Everyday Faith Podcast, we're kicking off the year by flipping the traditional goal-setting conversation on its head. Instead of starting with resolutions and to-do lists, we invite listeners to begin with identity – who God has created you to be. 

We walk through a simple but powerful framework for building family guiding principles, grounded in faith and Scripture. You’ll hear how defining a God-given purpose, clear guiding principles, and a daily goal can bring alignment, clarity, and consistency to everyday life – whether you’re single, married, or raising a family. 

This episode is a helpful starting point for anyone who wants to set goals that actually reflect their faith – and live them out every day. Listen to find out how!

Sitting back down with John Velsor - senior pastor, leadership coach, and passionate advocate for transformation in families and leaders - we dive deeper into the pillars of belief and obedience through one of John’s personal seasons. 

John shares how a painful season of betrayal led to anxiety, panic attacks, and what he describes as a “dark night of the soul”. But in the middle of the chaos, God met him with a deeper invitation: to live the cruciform life, shaped by the cross—hands surrendered to God and arms open in sacrificial love toward others.

Together, we talk about why pursuing the right community matters, how to return to your “base” when you get blindsided, and why the turning point in healing often comes when you can not only forgive—but bless the people who wounded you. 

If you’re in a hard season and wondering where God is in it—or what obedience looks like when it costs you—this conversation will strengthen your faith and remind you: the dark night may not be an interruption… it might be an invitation.

John shares his powerful redemption story—from growing up in church, to running hard into addiction, to a life-changing encounter with Jesus that met him at his lowest point and changed everything.

John unpacks what it means to live a cruciform life—a life shaped by the cross. Discussing belief, obedience, and why following Jesus doesn’t remove hardship, but teaches us how to endure it and grow through it. You’ll hear why comfort can be the enemy of growth, how obedience positions us for resurrection power, and why miracles often begin with problems we’d rather avoid.

Heidi shares with us her powerful faith journey – from a Lutheran upbringing to a teen encounter with God, a season of lukewarm faith, and a breaking-point of “Jesus, help” that transformed her life. 

She unpacks what it means to move from simply believing in God to actually doing life with Him – hearing His voice, letting Him define your identity, and bringing that into her work as a therapist. You’ll hear how she now sees clients through the lens of God’s truth, speaks life and hope into their stories, and encourages all of us to lean into what God says over what we feel.

Jeff shares a recent experience that highlights how prayer, courage, and simple acts of kindness can shift relationships and set an example for our kids.

The conversation also explores how our own family stories, past experiences, and patterns can influence future generations—and what it looks like to respond with forgiveness, wisdom, and purpose. Jeff unpacks practical ways families can clarify their values, think long-term, and take steps that align with the legacy they want to create.

Welcoming back Jeff Zaugg to the podcast, founder and host of Dad Awesome, to talk about generational impact and what it means to live with a long-term, legacy-minded faith. Jeff shares about his life as a joyful girl dad of four, the simple identity statements that shape his home, and how his family pursues “more Jesus, more joy” in everyday life. 

Jeff helps us unpack how our culture often celebrates starting from scratch and independence, while Scripture paints a picture of connected, generational faith — parents, children, and grandchildren woven into God’s bigger story. 

This conversation will encourage you to zoom out, think beyond your own timeline, and start building a legacy of faith, blessing, and intentional family culture that can outlive you.

Today, she shares how God began using her to bring others into the Kingdom even before she fully embraced the mission He had for her. From posting about her desire for God on MySpace to interrupting a tarot card reading to point a friend to Jesus, Savanna’s boldness started early. After a short life-changing internship in her twenties, she returned to an AA group where her faith and love for others reflected Christ’s heart. And as we close out the episode, Savanna shares fantastic insight into how God’s redemption turned past trauma into compassion and confidence to share her faith as she “looks outward rather than inward.”

Next week in Part Two, you’ll hear even more incredible stories of faith conversations that challenged cultural norms – a friend’s radical spiritual transformation, a bold discussion about faith with family, and even a miraculous healing. Savanna also shares how simple, everyday faith impacts little ones, reminding us that it all starts with an intimate, trusting relationship with a trustworthy God.

In this episode, Abby shares her personal faith and community journey, highlighting why true community is essential to living out our faith. In addition to simply showing up and being present, genuine friendship calls for vulnerability, selflessness, and the willingness to navigate tough conversations with grace.

Abby’s recent experiences with friends beautifully illustrate how pursuing community can transform our lives. When we choose love, forgiveness, and humility in our relationships, we reflect the very heart of Jesus.

So how can you actively pursue community in your own life? Here are a few action steps to get you started:
✅ Get connected with a local church.
✅ Embrace relationship challenges instead of avoiding them.
✅ Stay open to how God might be growing and using you through community.

Jon shares a powerful personal story about feeling called into ministry while already years-deep into medical school—a journey that beautifully illustrates both the struggle and the joy of obedience!

Not sure where to start in learning to obey the Lord? We’ll explore how to hear God’s voice through scripture and prayer and how growing closer to Him strengthens our ability to follow His lead. This is such an encouraging conversation, and we’re so glad you’re here as we grow together in this essential discipline that God WANTS to bless!

David and his brother Jason have made a lasting impact in sports, business and faith, shaped by their father’s early teachings on mission. In this episode, David shares pivotal moments from his sports career and reveals how viewing every role in life through the lens of mission transforms the way we work, lead, and serve. Now, he’s using his God-given gifts and the path he’s walked to mentor the next generation of entrepreneurs.

If you’ve ever heard phrases about “living on mission” but wondered what that actually means for you, this conversation will bring the clarity and encouragement you need today. David reminds us that stepping into our mission is simply being faithful right where God has us. He challenges us to “make our current spot sweet through contentment,” as we move toward the “intersection of passion and proficiency.”

In this conversation about belief, Dean shares insight into what true belief really means. He explains that belief is more than just knowledge—it’s about fully surrendering to Jesus, much like a marriage covenant. He also reminds us that faith isn’t about how much we have; even the smallest amount, when placed in God’s power rather than our own, can move mountains.

Beyond his powerful teaching, Dean shares two incredible miracle stories—one that happened instantly and another that unfolded through persistent prayer. Both serve as encouraging reminders that our belief grows as we walk in obedience, trust, and persistence. This episode highlights the importance of truly knowing the God we believe in—because it’s the foundation for living out our everyday faith.

And today, we – Jess and Dan, the new voices you’ll be hearing each week – are excited to share with you about who we are, where we’ve been, and where we’re going on the podcast. If you tuned in earlier this year or at the end of 2024, you may have heard a bit about the name change and about the host line-up change; and today, we want to let you in even more! 

We can’t wait to grow and learn alongside you about what it looks like to live out our everyday faith. As we explored this topic, one question continued to rise to the forefront: HOW do we live out our everyday faith? And that’s where we came up with the Four Pillars of Everyday Faith:

1. Start with Belief
2. Embrace your Mission
3. Commit to Obedience
4. Pursue Community

In the next four weeks, we’ll dive into each of these areas as guests share wisdom, stories and laughs – and we hope you’ll join us, too, as we grow together & find inspiration to live out our faith at work, with family, and in the everyday rhythms of life.

Today, Gabe shares two more powerful stories from his travels, worshipping, praying, and serving communities. In Skid Row, a young man’s encounter with God brought deep peace amidst chaos, an example of how spiritual battles can play out in the physical world.

Then, in Canada, Gabe felt led to connect with a group of men. As testimonies of transformation were shared, their energy was ignited. A rainbow filled the sky, and this sign of hope marked the start of yet another awe-inspiring moment of a life revived.

As you head into your week, let these stories encourage you to follow the Holy Spirit’s nudges—trusting that God can use any moment for His glory.

In Part One, Jonathan shares about how a neighbor with provoking faith and an inspiring book launched him into his faith journey. He used his platform as an athlete and musician in a rock band to share his testimony early on and continued to use common interests, or ‘affinities,’ to connect with others and share the love of Jesus. Through these stories and a couple others involving a car accident and a social experiment, you’ll be encouraged to lean into who God created you to be and embrace the ministry of ‘being with.’

In Part Two, we share more laughs and dive deeper into what it looks like to minister to those in the mission field that’s already around you, whether that’s in your local community or a common interest (‘affinity’) community. From hosting an Alpha course and pizza parties for the neighborhood to welcoming a neighbor to live in their home, Jonathan and his wife Suzy live out the three rhythms that anchor Front Yard Mission – Pray First, Love All, and Invite Often.

 If you haven't heard Pamela's first two episodes with us on the podcast, be sure to go back and give them a listen. Her story is incredible and so is her husband - Scott Pyle's story!

Today, you'll hear about how a conversation between a patient and their family member before a risky surgery was a testimony to all the medical staff in the room. And in another story, we begin to understand the importance of praying and speaking faith over loved ones, even if they are unconscious!

 And finally, when logic and reason have stood in the way of someone putting their hope and trust in Jesus, hope is not lost. Pamela shares about how one man's fate was changed entirely when he realized through Pascal's Wager that there was no reason NOT to put his hope in Jesus in those final days.

 Pamela's stories remind us that if you're not sure where someone is in their faith, that's OK -- simply be present and listen.

 Dr. Pamela Pyle's NEW BOOK Anticipating Heaven is now available! Whether you are navigating a serious illness, supporting a loved one walking through a health crisis, or simply want to have an idea of where to start should your journey take a turn like this, you've got to pick up this 5-start read. Anticipating Heaven pulls wisdom from those who have walked this challenging road onto paper to provide both practical and spiritual insights.

Do you ever feel nervous about sharing your faith or inviting friends and family to church? For many of us, it's one of the hardest things to do. But in today’s episode, Gabe shows us what’s possible when we choose to lean in and plant seeds. He’ll share how he nurtured a relationship for years, even when it might have seemed easier to let it drift. And only God could bring the transformation they saw—a powerful story of baptism, a life-changing encounter with Jesus through a dream, and a family's hope restored.

Gabe also dives into how he lives expectantly each day, believing that God wants to enjoy life with us. That belief and a simple prompt from the Lord led him to an unforgettable fishing trip in Alaska. Several moments along the way might have seemed irrational to others, but Gabe’s willingness to step out in faith unlocked something truly amazing each time. This story reminds us how stepping out in faith with God can not only lead to incredible experiences, but it can be downright FUN—because that’s just like God!

Toward the end of the episode, Abby mentions some powerful resources for deepening your faith walk:

– Practicing the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence

– Knowledge of the Holy by A.W. Tozer

As you listen, consider: How might my week change if I approached each day with the expectation that God wants to enjoy life with me? Let this episode inspire you to share your faith with joy, and watch as God shows up in ways you never imagined. Join us online - facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith

Gabe’s stories reveal how God has used his life and experiences to connect with others in powerful ways. He shares about a coffee shop moment where a word of knowledge led to a healing, an encouraging late-night encounter with a stranger, and how his tattoos have become conversation starters that change atmospheres. Gabe also talks about using his testimony to reach people in some of life’s toughest situations.

Whether you're a new believer or someone looking to grow deeper in your faith, Gabe’s story is a reminder that God is using everyday encounters to bring healing and hope — and a piece of your own story might just be the perfect starting point for the next person.

In part one, Darrin shares his powerful faith journey, touching on his partnership with Tony Dungy, his transition from media to ministry, and his heartfelt dedication to investing in fathers and families through initiatives like All Pro Dad. Note: This episode includes discussions about suicide.

In part two, Darrin dives into the "ministry of availability," encouraging us to be open to God's call—even in unexpected moments. He challenges listeners to ask deeper, more meaningful questions and to embrace opportunities for faith conversations, whether at work, lunch, or beyond.

Here are some better questions than "how are you?"

• what was it like to grow up at age 11?
• what is your favorite book of the bible?
• what did you listen to on the ride to meet me?
• whats the most value character trait with a friend of the same sex?
• what societal issue do you feel uniquely burdoned for?
• what would you rather attend? - broadway musical, professional sporting event or a concert

With themes of prayer, discipleship, and leading with gentleness and respect, Darrin's story is both inspiring and practical, offering valuable insights for anyone seeking to share their faith boldly.

Let’s explore how living “on assignment” for God can transform lives!

LYRICS:

we, human beings

are wired for peace –

hunger for utopia still stirring in us all.

Eden the representation of the perfect place

where all was well, all the time, and to this day –

we strive to calculate

which leader, which candidate, which one can take the taint

from the earth

and restore her back

to her original shine

every four years we garner our decision,

yet as we strive for calm,

strife enters our discussions –

fear too,

(that obstinate liar)

convincing even the kindest of people

that evil is their neighbor.

but for those who follow the Way,

they strive unto a different Kingdom

where government is heralded with love and faithfulness, 

and each decision is laced with justice and righteousness, 

eternity at the forefront of every decree.

so with urgency,

the people of God

bring supplications, intercessions, 

prayers and petitions

to the throne of grace

that hears all

from every race,

every people, 

every tongue, 

and every nation.

these people are different, 

convicted that Shalom is not won at the ballot box

or taught through legislation, 

but rather through the people of God,

alive and active,

at every waking second 

devout in their destiny 

to bring restoration to the earth.

voting is one thing,

living the Way is another :

remember your neighbor

remember to pray

remember to carry yourself God’s way.

In this powerful episode of the Ask About My Faith podcast, we’re joined by Armin Assadi, a survivor of the Baha’i “silent” genocide and a former crime boss who experienced a dramatic transformation through faith. After fleeing persecution in Iran, Armin found success in criminal life but constantly asked, “How did I get here?” He shares his emotional journey from a life of violence to an encounter with Christ that changed everything.
Armin talks candidly about his struggles, including suicidal thoughts, and how God's grace found him in a mental health facility where he was wrestling with God and sharing poetry. His altar call moment, where he wept and surrendered his life, marked a turning point. He explains how experiencing God's grace—especially in court when he was found guilty but shown mercy—compelled him to boldly share his faith.
Armin emphasizes the courage it takes to talk about faith in today’s culture, encouraging listeners to normalize faith conversations without filtering out such a significant part of life. From ministering to a Vietnam vet at a gas station to staying unoffendable with co-workers, Armin’s story is a testament to the power of stepping out in faith and letting God work through everyday moments. This episode will challenge you to ask, "Where is my faith today?" and inspire you to take courageous action in sharing it with the world.
