What if Gen Z could become one of the most influential generations for the gospel? Abby Ralph of 1630 shares why she sees tremendous spiritual potential in young adults and how Christians can help turn that passion into lifelong discipleship and leadership. You’ll hear why Scripture, community, mentorship, civic engagement, and courageous faith matter in a culture filled with competing voices. Abby also shares encouraging stories from 1630 gatherings and young adults discovering that God can use them right where they are. This episode will inspire you to stop sitting on the sidelines and start investing in the next generation.

About the GuestAbby Ralph serves as the Young Adult Director for 1630, the young-adult initiative of Christians Engaged, focused on equipping ages 16–30 in discipleship, leadership, biblical worldview, and civic engagement. Abby earned degrees in Political Science and History from the University of Arkansas and previously worked for the Oklahoma House of Representatives. Her passion is helping the next generation follow Jesus, understand their calling, and become leaders who influence their communities for the Kingdom of God.

Reasons to Listen1. Disciple Gen Z — Discover practical ways parents, pastors, mentors, and everyday Christians can build authentic relationships with young adults instead of assuming discipleship requires a complicated program. 2. Stand on Truth — Learn why Scripture, biblical literacy, Christian community, and discernment are essential for navigating social media, AI, cultural pressure, and competing worldviews. 3. Turn Faith Into Action — Abby challenges believers to move beyond passive Christianity and recognize that God can use ordinary acts of courage, leadership, mentorship, and civic involvement for Kingdom impact.

Big Takeaways1. Return to Scripture — The loudest voice in your life shouldn’t be an algorithm. Regularly read Scripture so you can recognize biblical truth and evaluate the messages competing for your attention. 2. Discipleship Can Be Simple — Mentoring someone doesn’t always require a curriculum. Invite a younger believer to coffee, dinner, a game night, or simply into your everyday life and allow genuine relationships to create opportunities for spiritual growth. 3. Choose Community — Digital connection cannot completely replace Christian fellowship. Intentionally build relationships with believers who will encourage you, challenge you, pray with you, and keep pointing you toward Christ. 4. Courage Needs Christ — Boldness alone isn’t enough. Christian courage should be directed by the Lord so believers know not only what truth to speak, but when and how to speak it with both conviction and grace. 5. Get Off the Sidelines — Apathy convinces us that one person cannot make a difference. Instead, prayerfully identify the sphere God has given you—your family, church, workplace, school, community, or government—and faithfully begin serving there.

Missional Challenges1. Invite Someone In — Identify one younger Christian you can intentionally encourage this week. Invite them to coffee, a meal, or an activity and focus first on listening, building relationship, and learning where they need encouragement. 2. Turn Down the Noise — Set aside intentional time this week to replace social-media consumption with Scripture. Ask God to reveal which cultural voices are shaping you more than His Word. 3. Step Into the Arena — Choose one practical way to engage your community rather than simply commenting about its problems. Pray, serve, mentor someone, learn about a local issue, participate in your church, or find another concrete opportunity to bring biblical faithfulness into your sphere of influence.

Technology can disciple people toward Jesus—or quietly pull them away from Him. John Stewart explains why Christians cannot abandon digital spaces and how FaithChannel is working to create a safer, faith-centered streaming environment for families, churches, filmmakers, and creators. You’ll hear practical insight about Christian entertainment, cultural influence, algorithms, innovation, and the future of faith-based media. Most importantly, you’ll be encouraged to consider how your own skills, choices, and influence can help redeem culture for the Kingdom of God.

About the Guest

John Stewart is the founder and CEO of FaithChannel and founder of FaithNetwork. A U.S. Air Force veteran and internet-technology pioneer, he has spent decades helping churches and ministries use digital tools while building a free, curated home for faith-centered entertainment.

Reasons to Listen

  2. A Safer Choice: Learn why curation, not merely parental controls or algorithms, matters for families seeking meaningful entertainment.

  3. Technology With Discernment: Explore how Christians can use AI and digital platforms as tools without replacing human creativity or the Holy Spirit.

Big Takeaways

  1. Technology Can Serve Mission: Digital tools become missional when they carry truth, beauty, and the gospel to people who might never enter a church.

  2. Access Expands Reach: Removing cost barriers can open faith-filled content to families and nations that subscription models overlook.

  3. Curation Builds Trust: A safe platform requires intentional human judgment, not blind dependence on recommendation algorithms.

  4. Support What You Value: Watching, sharing, reviewing, praying, and financially backing Christian creators helps more meaningful work get made.

  5. AI Is Not the Spirit: Use technology with wisdom, but never confuse efficient generation with prayerful, Spirit-led creativity.

Missional Challenges

  1. Audit Your Attention: Review what your household watched this week and ask whether it strengthened faith, relationships, or purpose.

  2. Support One Creator: Watch, share, review, or purchase one project from a Christian filmmaker, musician, or storyteller.

  3. Create With Prayer: Before using any creative technology this week, ask the Holy Spirit to guide both your message and your method.

Description: What if God is speaking far more often than you realize? In this conversation, Mike Blackaby shares how believers can recognize God's presence in the ordinary routines of life—not just during miraculous moments or spiritual highs. Learn practical rhythms that help cultivate intimacy with God through everyday faithfulness. If you've ever felt spiritually dry or wondered why God seems distant, this episode offers hope and practical encouragement.

About the Guest

Mike Blackaby is a pastor, author, and speaker who co-authored Experiencing God in Everyday Life alongside members of the Blackaby family. Building upon the legacy of Experiencing God, Mike encourages believers to recognize God's presence in ordinary routines and develop sustainable spiritual habits that deepen intimacy with Christ. He holds a PhD in Worldview and Apologetics from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and is passionate about helping believers think deeply and live missionally.

Reasons to Listen

  1. Practical Faith Learn simple rhythms that help you experience God during ordinary moments instead of waiting for extraordinary ones.
  2. Lasting Transformation Discover why consistency—not spiritual highs—is the key to long-term discipleship.
  3. Actionable Wisdom Walk away with practical ideas you can implement immediately, including gratitude practices, silence, Sabbath, and habit-building.

Big Takeaways

  1. God Is Already Present You don't have to manufacture God's presence; you simply need to become more aware of where He is already working.
  2. Small Rhythms Matter Daily habits shape who you become far more than occasional spiritual experiences.
  3. Valleys Build Character Spiritual maturity is formed through everyday faithfulness, not just mountaintop moments.
  4. Silence Creates Space Intentional silence and solitude help us hear God's voice amid life's constant noise.
  5. Start Small Lasting transformation begins with manageable habits that fit naturally into your current season of life.

Missional Challenges

  1. Practice Two Minutes of Silence Spend two uninterrupted minutes each day simply acknowledging God's presence.
  2. Attach a Spiritual Habit Connect one new spiritual practice—such as gratitude or prayer—to an existing daily routine like showering, driving, or making coffee.
  3. Look for God Today Before ending your day, identify one ordinary moment where you saw evidence of God's presence.

Have you ever felt like God was silent, distant, or absent? In this powerful conversation, Kyle Strobel shares how seasons of spiritual dryness can become some of the most transformative moments in a believer's life. Discover why faith isn't built on emotional highs and how God often does His deepest work in the desert. If you're struggling with doubt, discouragement, or spiritual fatigue, this episode offers biblical hope and practical encouragement.

About the Guest

Kyle Strobel is the Director of the Institute for Spiritual Formation and Associate Professor of Spiritual Theology at Talbot School of Theology. He is a theologian, author, speaker, and co-author of When God Seems Distant and Where Prayer Becomes Real. His work focuses on spiritual formation, prayer, and helping Christians experience genuine transformation in Christ.

Reasons to Listen

  1. Hope for Dry Seasons Discover why spiritual dryness is not necessarily a sign that something is wrong, but may actually be evidence that God is deepening your faith and transforming your heart.
  2. Practical Spiritual Formation Learn practical ways to continue praying, reading Scripture, and walking with Jesus when emotions and motivation disappear.
  3. Biblical Perspective Gain a deeper understanding of the Psalms, suffering, weakness, and God's surprising work in seasons that feel spiritually barren.

Big Takeaways

  1. God Works in Deserts Seasons of spiritual dryness are often places where God exposes deeper issues of the heart and teaches us to trust Him by faith rather than feelings.
  2. Feelings Aren't Faith God's presence is not measured by emotional experiences. Mature faith learns to trust God's promises even when He feels distant.
  3. Weakness Reveals Need Spiritual growth happens when we recognize how much we need God's forgiveness, grace, and transforming work.
  4. The Psalms Give Language Honest prayers found in the Psalms help believers bring their confusion, disappointment, and struggles directly to God.
  5. Transformation Over Information Knowledge alone cannot produce Christlike character. Spiritual formation requires surrender, humility, and dependence on Jesus.

Missional Challenges

  1. Pray the Psalms Daily Spend the next seven days praying one Psalm each day, allowing Scripture to shape your honest conversations with God.
  2. Practice Honest Prayer Bring one area of discouragement, doubt, or weakness directly to God instead of hiding it behind religious performance.
  3. Encourage a Struggling Believer Reach out to someone who may be experiencing spiritual dryness and remind them that God remains faithful even when He feels distant.

Discover how Jesus transforms lives in ways no human solution ever can.

About the Guest

Kyla Gillespie is an international speaker, author, ministry leader, and founder of Renewed & Transformed Ministries.

  2. Identity Begins with Christ Lasting peace is not found in self-definition but in discovering who God says we are.
  3. Community Matters Deeply Authentic Christian friendships provide a safe place for truth, grace, healing, and spiritual growth.
  4. Transformation Takes Time God often works through a process of discipleship, Scripture, prayer, and faithful relationships rather than instant change.
  5. No One Is Beyond Hope God's power to restore and redeem is greater than any struggle, addiction, shame, or confusion we face.

Missional Challenges

  1. Build One Meaningful Friendship Intentionally spend time with someone who is different from you this week and listen to their story without judgment.
  2. Practice Honest Vulnerability Share one area of struggle with a trusted believer and invite them to pray and walk alongside you.

What do you do when rejection, shame, and painful words from your past keep shaping how you see yourself? In this episode, Clint Byars shares how God’s love restores identity, heals the heart, and breaks the lies that keep believers stuck. You’ll hear practical, biblical insight on moving from performance and insecurity into freedom, grace, and sonship. This conversation will encourage you to trust the Father more deeply and live from the truth that you are chosen, accepted, and loved.

About the Guest

Clint Byars is the founding and lead pastor of Forward Church in Sharpsburg, Georgia, and a trusted voice on identity in Christ, grace, and healing. He is the author of 11 Christ-centered books, including his newest release, Chosen and Loved, which brings hope to those who feel rejected, wounded, or overlooked. In addition to releasing more than 80 teaching series, Clint has developed prayer and meditation resources called Tools for Transformation, founded the Forward School of Transformation, graduated from Impact International School of Ministries, and regularly teaches at Charis Bible College.

Reasons to Listen

  1. Healing Truths Clint shares practical, gospel-centered insight for anyone carrying rejection, shame, or wounds from the past. This episode helps listeners move from merely knowing God loves them to actually living secure in that love.
  2. Identity in Christ The conversation powerfully explains why so many believers still struggle with feeling unwanted and how renewed identity changes daily life, relationships, and spiritual freedom.
  3. Purpose After Healing Clint offers a compelling vision for how healing is not the end goal, but the beginning of stepping into God’s mission by asking, “Who do you love?”

Big Takeaways

  1. God Wants You God does not merely tolerate His children; He deeply desires them. That truth shifts how believers approach prayer, healing, and intimacy with the Father.
  2. Identity Shapes Behavior What you believe in your heart about yourself will eventually shape your actions. Real transformation comes when God’s truth rewrites your inner self-image.
  3. Safety Changes Everything When people feel safe with God as Father, they begin to trust Him, open their hearts, and experience deeper healing and freedom.
  4. Grace Breaks Cycles Understanding God’s love and grace empowers believers to overcome destructive patterns, not by striving harder, but by living from who they already are in Christ.
  5. Love Clarifies Calling Instead of obsessing over what to do, believers can begin by asking who God has placed on their heart to love and serve.

Missional Challenges

  1. Receive the Father’s Love Spend time this week praying through Scriptures about adoption, sonship, and God’s love until those truths move from your head into your heart.
  2. Rewrite the Lies Identify one recurring lie of rejection or shame you have believed, and replace it daily with a biblical truth about your identity in Christ.
  3. Love Someone Intentionally Ask God who He wants you to notice, encourage, or serve this week, and take one concrete step toward that person in love.

What does it look like for Christians to lead with courage in today’s cultural moment? In this powerful episode, Bunni Pounds, founder of Christians Engage, shares why believers must step into leadership and influence the culture around them. Drawing inspiration from the biblical story of Nehemiah, Bunni challenges Christians to pray, vote, and engage with a biblical worldview.

This episode will help you move from surface-level connections to life-giving relationships rooted in Christ. ❤️

His transparency about addiction, restoration, and encountering God in unexpected places will deeply encourage any believer longing for hope. This episode reminds us that even in our deserts, God is shaping testimonies that will strengthen others.

About the GuestJesse Pruett is a worship pastor, songwriter, actor, and producer whose journey spans Hollywood film sets to leading worship at Calvary Baptist in Lake Havasu City, Arizona—one of the fastest-growing churches in the U.S. He directs CCG Worship and helped launch their debut album Faithful, a project shaped by real stories of healing and God’s transforming power.

💡 What if missionaries could hide entire Bibles inside everyday apps to bypass government surveillance? Eugene Bach, leading voice of the Back to Jerusalem movement, shares jaw-dropping stories of hackers using hologram Bibles, secret devices, and cutting-edge technology to smuggle God's Word into closed nations like China, North Korea, and Afghanistan. Learn how 170 million Chinese believers are meeting in factories, businesses, and homes right under the watchful eye of facial recognition cameras and super-app monitoring. This conversation will open your eyes to the creative ways God's Kingdom is advancing in the darkest places. 🌍📱

About the GuestEugene Bach is the leading voice in the Back to Jerusalem movement, author, strategist, and host of the Back to Jerusalem Podcast. For over 27 years, he has lived and worked in China, serving as a bridge between the underground Chinese house church and global partners while helping mobilize Chinese missionaries to reach unreached people groups across the 10/40 window. He is the author of multiple books including China and End Time Prophecy, I Stand With Christ, The Underground Church, and The Lame Shall Take The Prey, and annually hosts the Hackers Conference where tech experts create innovative tools to share the Gospel in closed nations.

Reasons to Listen1. Witness History Unfolding: You'll discover the untold story of the world's largest revival happening right now in China, where 28,000-30,000 people come to Christ every single day despite intense persecution. Eugene Bach provides firsthand accounts and statistics you won't hear anywhere else about 140-170 million Chinese believers living out radical faith. 2. Learn Underground Church Strategies: Eugene reveals how Chinese believers creatively share the Gospel using hidden Bible apps, hologram devices, and meeting in factories and businesses to outsmart government surveillance and facial recognition technology. These innovative ministry methods will challenge your own approach to sharing faith and overcoming obstacles. 3. Answer Your Mission Calling: Whether you're called to go, send, or support missionaries, this episode clarifies how Western Christians can actively partner with the Back to Jerusalem movement to reach the 9/10 unreached people groups between China and Jerusalem. You'll gain practical insights on representing Christ well in hostile environments and discover your role in completing the Great Commission.

Big Takeaways1. Represent Christ Always: Even when you're being cheated, overcharged, or treated unfairly, you must reflect Christ's light rather than the darkness around you. People in darkness are drawn to Christian nations and communities not by accident—they recognize the transformative power of the Gospel in how believers live, even when it costs you personally. 2. Freedom of Speech Matters: The first thing the enemy does in every nation—whether communist, Islamic, Hindu, or Buddhist—is restrict freedom of speech because the Word must go forth to complete the Great Commission. Christians must vigilantly protect and use their freedom to speak truth, recognizing that silence, not lies, is the true enemy of truth. 3. You Can't Delegate Obedience: The Great Commission isn't a vision you can delegate to others—it's a command that has you, and you only have three choices: go, send, or disobey. Every believer must actively discern their unique calling in completing the Great Commission, whether that means going to the mission field, training and sending missionaries, or supporting those already serving. 4. Integrate Faith Into Everything: The Chinese underground church thrives because believers don't separate their faith from family, business, or daily life—everything is interconnected in one community of Gospel witness. Instead of compartmentalizing your spiritual life from work and relationships, look for ways to naturally weave your faith into every aspect of your everyday activities. 5. Persecution Reveals Desperation: When people risk life, freedom, and family to access God's Word—hiding Bibles on secret devices and meeting illegally—it reveals how desperately valuable Scripture truly is. Don't take for granted your easy access to multiple Bibles, apps, and churches; approach God's Word with the same hunger and desperation that persecuted believers demonstrate daily.

Missional Challenges1. Pray for the Persecuted Church Daily: Set a daily reminder on your phone to pray specifically for Chinese believers and underground church missionaries facing persecution, detention, and surveillance. Visit BackToJerusalem.com to get current prayer updates and learn the names of specific leaders and regions that need intercession right now. 2. Examine Your Speech Witness: For one week, pay attention to how you respond when you're frustrated, cheated, or treated unfairly—are you reflecting Christ's light or the darkness around you? Ask a trusted friend or spouse to lovingly hold you accountable to representing Jesus well, especially in difficult interactions with customer service, difficult people, or stressful situations. 3. Choose Your Great Commission Role: Prayerfully evaluate whether God is calling you to go, send, or support missions work, then take one concrete action this month—research a mission trip, connect with a missionary to support financially, or sign up for cross-cultural training. Remember that you cannot delegate obedience to the Great Commission; determine your specific role and take the first step forward in faith.

Ever wake up wondering if God was trying to tell you something through your dreams? 🌙✨ Join us for an inspiring conversation with Paige Collins, founder of Icon Media and author of the "Awaken Dream Journal," as she shares how one transformative dream in 2017 changed everything. Discover practical steps to record, interpret, and understand the spiritual meaning of your dreams through a biblical lens. Paige reveals why dreams are conversation starters with God and how Christian dreamers are rising up to change the world for the Kingdom.

About the GuestPaige Collins is a lifelong dreamer, spiritual teacher, and the founding partner of Icon Media Group, a premier PR firm that has launched hundreds of New York Times bestselling books and led publicity for major faith-based films. Beyond her 20+ years in media strategy, Paige is also a screenwriter and producer, founding Honeybee Entertainment to develop inspirational content. Her passion for helping believers discern God's voice through dreams led her to create the "Awaken Dream Journal," a first-of-its-kind tool that equips Christians to record, interpret, and understand the spiritual meaning of their dreams through biblical principles and Holy Spirit guidance.

Reasons to Listen1. Learn the Biblical Foundation: Discover how dreams have been God's communication method throughout Scripture—from Joseph to the prophets—and why the promise in Joel that "your old men will dream dreams" applies to every believer today, not just Old Testament prophets. 2. Get Practical Dream Tools: Paige shares her proven framework of write-pray-wait for dream interpretation, including how to identify symbolism, recognize play on words, anchor dreams in Scripture, and distinguish between prophetic destiny dreams, processing dreams, and intercession dreams. 3. Overcome Fear and Doubt: Address common concerns about new age counterfeits, learn how to take authority over tormenting dreams, and understand why the Christian community needs to reclaim this sacred space where God speaks intimately to His people.

Big Takeaways1. Stewardship Awakens Revelation: The simple act of noticing, writing down, or speaking your dreams out loud signals to God that you're ready to receive more—what you steward multiplies, and faithfulness in small things (even seemingly random dreams) opens the door to greater spiritual insight. 2. All Dreams Are Conversation Starters: Whether prophetic, warning, or processing dreams from your daily life, every dream is worthy of bringing to the Lord's feet as a conversation starter—He wants to be involved in every area of your life, including what surfaces while you sleep. 3. Symbolism Requires Context and Prayer: Biblical dream interpretation involves looking for symbols in Scripture first, considering play on words, asking the Holy Spirit for a scripture to anchor the dream, and unpacking each element layer by layer with the Lord as your primary teacher. 4. Multiple Dreams Can Say One Thing: Sometimes God will give you several completely different dreams with unique symbolism that, when interpreted, all communicate the same message—this repetition confirms what He's speaking and shows the depth of His desire to communicate with you. 5. Christian Dreamers Change the World: God is raising up a generation of kingdom-minded dreamers who will impact marketplace leadership, ministry, intercession, and cultural transformation—your willingness to lean into dreams positions you to partner with what God is doing in this hour.

Missional Challenges1. Start a Dream Journal Tonight: Place a notebook and pen by your bedside, and when you wake from a dream, immediately write down everything you remember without editing—ask the Holy Spirit for a scripture to anchor it, then pray into what God might be showing you. 2. Reclaim Dreams for the Kingdom: If you've avoided dream interpretation due to new age associations, take authority as a believer and ask God to speak to you in dreams—the enemy counterfeits what's valuable, so reclaim this biblical communication channel with confidence in Christ. 3. Share Your Dreams in Community: Find one trusted Christian friend or mentor this week and share a dream you've had—iron sharpens iron, and discussing dreams with other believers helps unpack revelation you might miss on your own while building a community of dreamers.

Are you sacrificing your relationship with God to serve God? 💭 Author and ministry leader Karolyne Roberts opens up about spending her entire twenties striving for approval—even in ministry—until exhaustion forced her into a year-long sabbatical that changed everything. Discover how to break free from performance-driven Christianity, navigate social media comparison culture, and embrace the powerful practice of abiding in Christ daily. This honest conversation includes game-changing insights on the Fruit Fast, counting the cost before saying yes, and why Jesus withdrew when crowds grew. Perfect for overwhelmed believers ready to trade striving for surrender. 🙏

About the GuestKarolyne Roberts is the author of "The Beauty of Being: Strive Less and Live More With God as Your Guide" and founder of the women's ministry Dear Daddy, where she writes letters to God as her Father. After experiencing burnout from a decade of ministry service, she took a transformative year-long sabbatical that reshaped her understanding of identity and rest in Christ. Karolyne is passionate about helping Christians—especially women—break free from performance-driven faith and discover the freedom of abiding in God's presence, and she leads various discipleship initiatives including the Abide Journaling Challenge and Miss Eternity Christian mentorship program.

Reasons to Listen1. Break the Performance Trap: If you're exhausted from trying to earn God's love through ministry and good works, Karolyne's honest story of hitting rock bottom on her 30th birthday will show you how to shift from striving to resting in your identity as God's beloved daughter. You'll learn practical tools like the Fruit Fast and Abide Journaling Challenge to help you cultivate authentic intimacy with God instead of religious burnout. 2. Navigate Modern Comparison Culture: Discover biblical strategies for setting boundaries with social media, curating your feed intentionally, and measuring success by God's standards rather than likes, followers, or vanity metrics. Karolyne shares real-world wisdom on protecting your mental health in the digital age while still using platforms for kingdom purposes. 3. Master the Balance: Learn how to pursue God's calling with healthy ambition while avoiding the extremes of either burning out or becoming unfruitful. Karolyne reveals her monthly Plan & Pray approach, the power of counting the cost before decisions, and why leaving space for God to interrupt your plans leads to the most fruitful seasons of ministry and life.

Big Takeaways1. Your Identity Over Activity: God's love for you isn't based on your performance, ministry achievements, or how much you serve—you're worthy simply because He chose you and sent Jesus to die for you. When you ground yourself in being God's daughter or son first, you can serve from a place of rest and freedom rather than striving for approval. 2. Stop Planning, Start Surrendering: Instead of mapping out your entire year with rigid goals and vision boards, try planning month-by-month while surrendering each plan to God in prayer. This approach leaves room for God to surprise you, redirect your steps, and prevent the pride that comes from thinking you control your future—a lesson Karolyne learned powerfully in 2020. 3. Community Prevents Burnout: You weren't designed to fulfill your purpose alone—God intentionally surrounds you with a community of believers who can pour into you, support you, and help carry the load. Before launching back into ministry, prioritize building authentic relationships and practice asking for help instead of trying to do everything yourself. 4. Curate Your Digital Diet: Just as you guard what you eat physically, protect your mind by managing your screen time and intentionally curating your social media feed to include content that points you to Christ rather than comparison. The algorithm shows you more of what you engage with, so interact with scripture-based content and authentic believers rather than posts that make you feel inadequate. 5. Count the Cost First: Before saying yes to opportunities, ministries, or new ventures, pause to count the cost—spiritually, financially, and in terms of time and energy. This biblical principle of waiting for confirmation and assessing what sacrifice God is requiring helps you avoid overcommitment and ensures you're stewarding His calling with wisdom rather than just enthusiasm.

Missional Challenges1. Take a Sabbath Rest: This week, designate one full day (like Sunday) where you completely step away from work, ministry tasks, and productivity—no planning, no projects, just worship, community, and rest. Practice surrendering control by trusting that God will handle what needs to be done tomorrow, and notice how this rhythm of rest rejuvenates your soul and strengthens you for the week ahead. 2. Audit Your Screen Time: Check your phone's screen time report and compare how many hours you spent on social media this week versus how much time you spent in God's Word and prayer. Then curate your feed by unfollowing accounts that trigger comparison or inadequacy, and intentionally follow content creators who point you toward Christ and authentic faith. 3. Fast Before Your Next Decision: The next time you're faced with a significant decision or opportunity—whether it's a ministry role, job offer, or commitment—don't answer immediately. Instead, take time to fast (whether from food, social media, or another area), seek God in prayer, and count the cost spiritually, financially, and relationally before giving your response, trusting that His timing is always perfect even when it feels last-minute.

🔥 What does it really mean to be the salt of the earth? In this powerful episode, Christian rock artist Benny DiChiara of Empowered shares how God turned a canceled concert, a prophetic word, and a long season of waiting into a life-changing calling. Through his new EP Salt, Benny reveals lessons on spiritual endurance, divine timing, and standing firm in faith. You’ll be inspired to live boldly and step out in your God-given purpose—no matter how long the wait. 🌊💪 #Faith #ChristianRock

About the GuestBenny DiChiara is the frontman of the Christian rock band Empowered, whose latest EP SALT calls believers to live as bold witnesses for Christ. After overcoming a traumatic brain injury and countless trials, Benny continues to use his platform to glorify Jesus and embolden others to live out their God-given purpose.

Reasons to Listen1. Discover the Heart Behind “SALT” - Hear the incredible story of how a divine word—Safety, Anointed, Legit, Timing—birthed a record that’s more than music; it’s a call to mission. 2. Be Encouraged in God’s Timing - Benny’s decades-long journey is a testimony that God’s promises are never late—they’re always right on time. 3. Learn to Fight from Victory, Not for It - From “Throat Punch the Devil” to lessons on spiritual warfare, Benny reminds us that believers aren’t called to play defense—we’re called to take territory for the Kingdom.

Big Takeaways1. God’s timing is always perfect—your season will come when it aligns with His purpose. 2. “Salt” preserves and purifies; as believers, we’re called to bring truth that endures, not the “sugar” of comfort or compromise. 3. Feelings fade, but faith endures—don’t make decisions out of emotion, but out of obedience. 4. Spiritual warfare is real, but victory is already won through Jesus. 5. We don’t just need to know who we are—we must know whose we are.

Missional Challenges1. Be the Salt in Your Sphere - Ask the Holy Spirit to show you one person or space where you can bring truth and encouragement this week. Whether that’s a co-worker who’s weary, a neighbor you’ve avoided, or a friend who’s struggling — step into that moment with love and authenticity. Let your words preserve, uplift, and point back to Jesus. 2. Trade Sugar for Salt - Reflect on areas in your life where you may have softened truth for the sake of comfort or approval. This week, choose to live with holy boldness. Speak truth in love, even when it’s uncomfortable. Let your faith have flavor — not the sweetness of compromise, but the purity of Christ’s love that endures and transforms. 3. Move in His Timing, Not Yours - If you’ve been waiting for breakthrough, take a moment to surrender your timeline back to God. Instead of asking “When, Lord?” ask “What are You teaching me in this season?” Pray over your calling and take one small step of obedience today — trusting that His timing is never delayed, only divine.

💍 What if the way the church has been teaching about marriage and sex is actually harming couples instead of helping them? In this episode of The Missional Life Podcast, Sheila and Keith Gregoire share powerful insights from their groundbreaking research that has surveyed tens of thousands of Christians. Together, they unpack why rigid gender roles, obligation-based sex, and unhealthy teachings have left many marriages hurting—and how God calls couples to real intimacy, teamwork, and joy. Whether you’re single, newly married, or decades in, you’ll walk away with practical wisdom for building the marriage you truly want. 🌿✨

About The GuestSheila Gregoire is a bestselling Christian author, speaker, and podcaster who, alongside her husband Keith, is reshaping how the church talks about marriage, intimacy, and emotional health. Through their ministry Bare Marriage and books like The Great Sex Rescue and The Marriage You Want, Sheila combines biblical truth with groundbreaking research to help couples find freedom, joy, and genuine connection. With honesty, compassion, and data-driven insight, she equips believers to build marriages that reflect God’s heart.

Redefine Intimacy – Great sex isn’t about frequency; it’s about mutual pleasure, connection, and trust. Focus on building intimacy that honors both partners emotionally and physically. 5. Take Initiative Daily – Healthy marriages thrive when both spouses notice needs, take responsibility, and bring their best selves to the relationship. Small acts of dependability build long-term trust and closeness.

Missional Challenges1. Have an Honest Conversation – Set aside time this week to talk with your spouse about one area of your marriage where you feel disconnected. Listen without judgment and commit to taking one small step toward greater unity. 2. Prioritize Friendship Moments – Instead of waiting for a big date night, intentionally build friendship into your daily life—whether it’s going for a walk together, laughing over a meal, or going to bed at the same time. 3. Challenge a Harmful Belief – Identify one unhealthy teaching you’ve absorbed about marriage or intimacy (e.g., obligation or rigid gender roles). Replace it with a biblical truth that reflects God’s heart for love, respect, and mutuality.

What if everything you thought you knew about the devil was wrong? 📖🔥 In this thought-provoking conversation, award-winning author and filmmaker Jared Brock unpacks the myths and misconceptions about Satan from his book A Devil Named Lucifer. Jared reveals why the enemy is far less powerful than we often believe—and how every scheme is ultimately used to glorify Jesus. This episode will strengthen your faith, reshape your view of spiritual warfare, and magnify the brilliance of Christ. ✝️✨

About the Guest

Jared Brock is an award-winning author, filmmaker, and Christian thinker whose works explore faith, history, and culture.

Big Takeaways

Pastor and author JD King joins us to share how his life was transformed by the Smithton revival and how you, too, can be marked by the presence of God. In this powerful conversation, JD unpacks lessons from his new book Mighty Like Gideon—a call for courage, spiritual hunger, and obedience. Discover how God uses the unlikely, even the insecure, for incredible kingdom impact. You’ll leave stirred to surrender distractions and step boldly into your calling.

About the Guest

JD King is a pastor, revival historian, and author deeply shaped by his involvement in the Smithton Outpouring. He currently serves at Revive Church in Kansas City and is the co-author of Mighty Like Gideon, a powerful book blending personal revival experience and biblical insights to call believers into courageous, Spirit-led living.

Reasons to Listen:

  1. Learn from Real Revival – JD shares firsthand experiences from the Smithton Outpouring, giving rare insight into what sustained spiritual awakening looks like.
  2. Discover Your Calling – Through the lens of Gideon, JD helps listeners identify and overcome fear, insecurity, and spiritual compromise to walk fully in their God-given identity.
  3. Get Spiritually Reignited – This episode stirs a deep thirst for God’s presence, encouraging listeners to trade distraction for true hunger and intimacy with Jesus.

Big Takeaways:

  1. Spiritual Hunger is a Choice – Revival isn’t random; it starts with people who are willing to thirst, pray, and pursue God relentlessly.
  2. God Uses the Unlikely – Like Gideon, God chooses those who feel unqualified, transforming their weakness into strength through obedience.
  3. False Altars Must Fall – Before stepping into destiny, we must tear down the idols—fear, people-pleasing, performance—that compete for our loyalty.
  4. Courage Isn’t the Absence of Fear – Even when trembling, faith means saying “yes” to God’s call and taking the next step.
  5. Legacy is Built in Obedience – Our small, faithful steps today can echo through eternity when surrendered to Jesus.

Missional Challenges:

  1. Step Out in Faith – Identify one area where fear is holding you back and take a bold, God-led action this week.
