In this powerful Part Two with Kathy Ireland and her incredible mom Barbara, we dive even deeper into the journey God has had them both on — and I honestly was not prepared for how much this conversation would move me. We talk about what it truly means to be pro-life, how Barbara's prayer life has shaped not only her family but women around the world, and how Kathy went from being pro-choice to becoming one of the most fearless voices for the unborn — all because of what science revealed and what God's Word confirmed. Barbara's faithfulness to show up at Planned Parenthood, walk door-to-door, and pray on her knees every single morning is one of the most convicting and beautiful things I've ever witnessed.

Kathy opens up about the painful season that led to the launch of Kathy Ireland Brands — and what it looks like to rebuild with God as your only strategy. She shares the verse that carried her through it all: Joel 2:25, "I will restore the years the locusts have eaten." Whether you're in a season of loss, betrayal, or uncertainty, this part of our conversation will remind you that God's redemption is always bigger than what the enemy had planned. We also get into the surprising world of commercial lobster fishing — yes, Kathy has been Greg's first mate out on the open water — and the life lessons she's brought back to shore about doing hard things through Christ.

We close with wisdom for every generation: Barbara's simple charge to see a need and do something about it, Kathy's JOY principle (Jesus, Others, You), and the importance of learning to say no to good things so God can lead you to great things. Whether you're just starting out or navigating a hard season, I believe this episode will encourage you deeply. Don't miss Part One if you haven't seen it, and please share this with someone who needs to hear it today.

Kathy Ireland's Shocking Business Betrayal: How Her Faith Is Carrying Her Through It | EP 13

I have wanted to have this conversation for a long time. Most people know Kathy Ireland as the supermodel who graced thirteen consecutive Sports Illustrated covers, or the savvy entrepreneur who built one of the most recognizable lifestyle brands in the world. But what most people don't know is the faith that has been the foundation underneath all of it — from the lonely night in a Paris apartment when a teenager opened a Bible her mom secretly packed in her suitcase, to the boardroom battles and deep personal betrayal she is navigating right now. And sitting right beside her is the woman who started it all — Barbara Ireland, a mother of three who walked two miles to church as a girl, raised a family before she turned 20, logged trees, built businesses, and showed her daughters that you can always find another way if you're willing to work for it.

What struck me most about this conversation is the honesty. Kathy didn't sugarcoat where she's been. She talked about picking and choosing Bible verses like a spiritual buffet for years, making decisions she wouldn't make today, and what it felt like to finally read Genesis to Revelation at 44 and have it change everything all over again. She talked openly about the business partnership that imploded — a relationship of decades, built on trust, that took far more than money when it unraveled. And yet she sat across from me with no bitterness. She prayed for repentance and redemption for everyone involved, and I believe her. She also told me about a moment years ago when she woke up and realized she'd been thinking about an old wound every single morning and going to bed every single night carrying it — and the freedom she found when she finally let the Holy Spirit have it.

Barbara Ireland may be the unsung hero of this episode. Kathy calls her the ultimate entrepreneur — and watching how the two of them move together, finishing each other's sentences, grounding each other in what matters — it's something you don't often get to see. This is Part One of a two-part conversation, and I promise you Part Two is just as good. If you've ever wrestled with bitterness, betrayal, or trying to build something that matters while holding your faith at the center, this episode is for you.

South Korean Pastor Arrested for a Sermon — His Son Reveals What Really Happened | EP 12

In this episode of the Trusted Voice Podcast, I sit down with Chance Son, the son of a well-known South Korean pastor who was arrested, held without bail, and placed in solitary confinement — not for violence or financial misconduct, but for asking three questions during a 9-minute interview at his church. His father had already been on the government's radar for leading the historic 1027 worship event, which mobilized over a million people to oppose South Korea's comprehensive anti-discrimination law — legislation that would effectively silence pastors from speaking biblical truth.

Chance shares the harrowing details of his father's 145-day detention, the around-the-clock CCTV surveillance in his cell, and the political pressure that ultimately led to his release — including a pivotal meeting between South Korea's Prime Minister and U.S. Vice President JD Vance, where his father's case was personally mentioned. Chance also opens up about the broader war being waged against the Korean church, the threat to close his sister's Christian school, and why he believes what happened in South Korea is a warning America cannot afford to ignore.

This conversation is a raw, firsthand account of faith under fire — and a powerful reminder that silence is not an option. If you believe in freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the courage it takes to stand for truth, this episode is for you. Please share it, pray for the Sun family and the church in South Korea, and remember: the battle for biblical freedom is not just happening overseas.

Dr. Kimber Krosschell: Ever Feel Like Something Is Off In Your Body But Every Time You Test It Comes Back "Normal?" | EP 11

Tue, 26 May 2026 05:00:00 -0400

I've spent years pushing through fatigue, brain fog, and hormone imbalances thinking it was just my normal — and for a long time, I didn't even realize how much it was costing me. Not just physically, but spiritually. You cannot fully live out a God-given calling when your body is running on empty. That's why I brought on Dr. Kimber Krosschell, naturopathic physician and certified functional hormone specialist, to have a conversation I wish I'd had decades ago. If you've ever felt like something is off in your body but every test comes back "normal," this episode was made for you.

What stopped me in my tracks was when Dr. Kimber explained what busyness is actually doing to us on a physiological level. It's not just a productivity problem — it's a hormone problem, a cortisol problem, and honestly, a spiritual warfare problem. The enemy doesn't need to get you to sin big. He just needs to keep you urgent, overwhelmed, and too depleted to sit at God's feet. The urgent is literally giving us a dopamine hit that makes the important — God, family, calling — feel less rewarding by comparison. That's not a motivation issue. That's a biological trap.

Dr. Kimber also brought something I wasn't expecting: the connection between identity, the words we speak over ourselves, and our physical healing. How you see yourself matters to your body. Calling yourself sick, broken, or exhausted isn't just an emotional habit — it's a declaration your cells are listening to. We talk about bioidentical hormones, the Proverbs 31 woman as the picture of hormonal balance, why rest is a gift not a command, and what's coming in Dr. Kimber's book Holy Hormones: From Hot Mess to Hormone Blessed. Part two is coming — and trust me, you don't want to miss it.

Katy Perry's Mom Reveals the Day Jesus Appeared to Her on a Train | Mary Hudson PART 2 | EP 10

Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 -0400

In this powerful Part 2 of my conversation with Mary Hudson, I sit down again with one of the most fearless women of faith I know to hear the rest of her story — and friend, it gets even more incredible. Mary takes us from interviewing President Jimmy Carter at the White House to a moment on a train between D.C. and New York City where Jesus Himself appeared to her in a long white robe. What He spoke to her in that instant changed everything, and her words still echo in my spirit: there is a supernatural realm sitting right on top of the natural one, and God wants you living in it.

I love how openly Mary shares the messy middle of her journey — being backslidden, working herself to exhaustion in Las Vegas radio and TV, and finally being drawn back to a tiny church by a former Folly's showgirl turned fiery preacher. She tells us how she prayed her future husband Keith back to the Lord before she ever met him, how God broke through 10% odds and scar tissue to give her three miracle babies, and how she rose above heartbreak when her daughter's career took a turn she never saw coming. Her honesty about motherhood, joy, and "casting the care" hit me right between the eyes.

We also talk about her book Joyful Mother Equals a Happy Home, the supernatural healing of her crossed eye that doctors couldn't fix, and the legacy she's leaving through 18 years of Arise conferences around the world. Mary closes with a prayer over every viewer believing for a miracle, a baby, freedom from suicide, or a fresh encounter with Jesus. If you need hope today, press play — and please share this episode with someone who needs to hear that God is still the God of new beginnings.

Katy Perry’s Mom, Mary Hudson, Shares Her Untold Testimony of Redemption | EP 09

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 06:00:00 -0400

In this episode of Trusted Voice, I sit down with Mary Hudson for a powerful and deeply personal conversation about her life, her past, and the redemptive power of Jesus. Mary opens up about the pain she carried after having an abortion as a young woman, the depression and shame that followed, and how God eventually brought healing, forgiveness, and freedom into her life.

Mary also shares about her wild journey through Europe, Rhodesia, radio broadcasting, and the unexpected moments that led her to encounter Jesus. From a glamorous media career to a radical salvation experience in Las Vegas, her story is filled with moments where God was working behind the scenes long before she fully recognized Him.

This conversation is a reminder that no story is too broken for God to redeem. What the enemy meant for evil, God can turn for good. Mary’s testimony will encourage anyone who has carried shame, regret, or questions about their purpose to believe that healing, destiny, and transformation are still possible.

Bunni Pounds - America Reads the Bible: Can Scripture Spark a National Revival in America? | EP 08

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 06:00:00 -0400

What happens when Christians from different denominations, leaders from across government, and voices from all spheres of influence come together for one purpose: to publicly read the Bible over America? In this episode of Trusted Voice, I sit down with Bunni Pounds to talk about the vision behind America Reads the Bible and why this moment feels bigger than an event. We talk about the 250th birthday of America, the spiritual hunger in the nation, and why returning to Scripture is not just symbolic, but essential.

Bunni shares the powerful story of how this initiative was born, what it has taken to bring together hundreds of national leaders and ministries, and why she believes this is a historic moment of unity for the body of Christ. We discuss Christian engagement in civic life, the connection between revival and public leadership, and how churches, families, businesses, and communities can participate in this nationwide Bible reading movement. This conversation is full of faith, vision, and practical ways to respond.

We also talk about Bunni's journey from public policy to ministry leadership, her new book Stepping Up to Lead, and the legacy she believes God is calling her to leave. This episode is a call back to the simplicity of prayer, worship, discipleship, and the Word of God. Whether you care about revival, Christian unity, America’s future, or biblical leadership, this conversation will stir your heart and challenge you to engage.

Ché Ahn - California’s Turning Point: A Pastor’s Call to Action in Politics and Faith | EP 07

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 22:00:00 -0400

In this powerful episode of Trusted Voice, Pastor Ché Ahn shares his incredible life journey—from his rebellious youth as a drug addict and hippie to becoming a devout follower of Christ at 17, to now running for governor of California. A first-generation immigrant with a deep understanding of both freedom and oppression, Pastor Ché Ahn has experienced the beauty of liberty firsthand, and he's now fighting for it in a state that needs it more than ever.

In a candid conversation with Naomi Van Wyk, Pastor Ché Ahn recounts how he faced government persecution during the COVID lockdowns, and the bold decisions he made to keep his church open. His stand led to a monumental Supreme Court case that overturned California’s unconstitutional restrictions on worship, resulting in a victory for religious freedom. But Pastor Ché Ahn's vision extends far beyond the courtroom—he’s rallying churches and believers across California to rise up, unite, and bring revival to the state.

Join us as Pastor Ché Ahn shares how God is calling him to awaken the church in California, transform the state’s political climate, and prepare a new generation of faith-driven activists. This conversation is a clarion call for all believers to get involved, pray, and vote for a brighter, more righteous future in California.

"FULFILLING THE CALL OF GOD" Trusted Voice Podcast w/Naomi Van Wyk Ep.4 (Guest: Elizabeth Johnston)

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 22:00:00 -0500

Elizabeth Johnston is a homeschooling mother of ten children who, through her surrender to the Lord, stepped out of the typical “comfort zone” of home life and into the arena of cultural engagement and activism. For over two decades she’s educated her children at home, and along the way her voice has grown into one of the most influential pro-life and family advocates in our generation.

She isn’t just a mom — she’s a bestselling author, speaker, podcast host, and grassroots mobilizer who has been featured on major media outlets and platforms for her work defending the sanctity of life, strengthening families, and equipping believers with biblical truth in a world hostile to it.

Through her fierce refusal to keep silent in the face of evil, God has opened amazing doors for her. Her voice now reaches tens of thousands — if not hundreds of thousands — inspiring parents, believers, and everyday citizens to stand boldly for life, faith, and freedom.

In this episode, Elizabeth shares the story of her journey — from life as a full-time homeschool mom to becoming a movement leader whose influence is shaping culture’s view on life and family.

We dig deep into:
How her relationship with God changed everything — not just for her family, but for the platform she now carries.
The realities of speaking truth in a society that often rejects it.
Practical wisdom for believers who feel called to speak up, but don’t yet know how.
The heart behind her activism — and how she balances fierce conviction with the compassion of Christ.

Elizabeth doesn’t just talk about faith — she lives it every day, and she challenges all of us to do the same. Her insights are rooted in scripture, hardened by real-world confrontation with the cultural battles we face, and offered with pastoral care for the listener’s soul.
