"What is your boss, God, telling you to do?" ~Paul Granger
In this episode, guest Paul Granger, talks about seeking first God's Kingdom, how to navigate unexpected job transitions, and how to overcome the mental mindsets that cause us to hesitate when God leads us into a leap.
Enjoy this for another podcast episode!
Paul's BioThrough serving in various forms of ministry for over two decades, Paul has realized the predominant theme has been cultivating authentic, accessible space to process God and life.
You can learn more about me through my profile, my podcast "Where did you see God", and at wheredidyouseeGod.com.
The "shepherding/pastoral" gifting gives Paul the unique ability to cultivate rich dialogue and process the difficult questions of life. While he has many stories to share of his own journey of learning who God is, who he is, and what that means for his life, he knows God can use any conversation to do "abundantly more" beyond simply telling his stories.
Paul enjoys sharing what it means to take crazy steps of faith, how to persevere through hardship, and how to hold firm to the belief that "God is God and God is good", no matter the circumstances.

“Abundance is about having a healthy heart and a healthy head...So that the fruits of the Spirit can operate and flow freely without us blocking it” ~Kevin Dupree
In this episode, we are honored to have Kevin Dupree as our special guest. Kevin shares his incredible journey of heeding God's call to relocate from Las Vegas to Detroit. He sheds light on his experiences during the waiting season, offering valuable insights that he gained along the way. Kevin also delves into the fresh revelation God gave him, giving us a deeper understanding of what it truly means to live an abundant life.
If you're in need of hope and encouragement, you won't want to miss this inspiring episode.
Guest BioKevin was an educator in the Oklahoma City public school system for 7 years where he got the privilege of teaching and coaching inner-city students from diverse backgrounds. During this time, Kevin’s life was radically changed when he experienced one of the lowest and darkest times of his life that almost led to him overdosing on alcohol and prescription pills in his 2006 Nissan Altima outside of a grocery store.
After this moment Kevin realized that life was worth living and that he would seek to start living it ABUNDANTLY! Upon realizing his own need for a deeper sense of faith and hope for life, Kevin transitioned from the education system and into youth ministry to try and help students understand and develop a deeper sense of faith and hope for their own life that would lead to them also being able to live an abundant life.

Moses' encounter with God on the mountain is well-known, but what often goes unnoticed is his internal struggle with the task at hand. Many people can relate to feeling uncomfortable and resistant when called to do something that stretches them. However, obedience is key, even when we don't want to do what God is asking of us. Let's talk about some lessons we can learn from Moses journey.

"Watch and see where God is working and join him in his work.. " - Christopher Beth
How do you handle that unsettling feeling of needing to do more but not knowing how or what to do?
In today's episode, our guest Christopher Beth, founder of The Bucket Ministry, shares his journey of leaving a successful career in business consulting to dedicate his life to serving others and providing clean water. After a life-changing trip to the Brazilian Amazon, Christopher witnessed the devastating effects of unclean water and felt called to make a difference. He discovered a water filter that could provide clean water and also serve as a tool to introduce people to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Christopher and his team have since served over a million people and are committed to expanding their impact.
Christophers’s Bio
Christopher Beth is the Founder, Chief Storyteller and Director of The Bucket Ministry, a nonprofit organization that works to provide the love of Jesus and clean water solutions to communities in need around the world.
Prior to founding The Bucket Ministry, Christopher worked as a business consultant. He had no intentions to enter full-time ministry until he accompanied his then-high school daughter on a mission trip to the Brazilian Amazon in 2012.
While on the first stop on the Amazon River, Christopher witnessed the devastating effects of a lack of access to clean water on communities there when a woman asked him if he was thirsty. He watched her grab glasses, walk to the edge of the river and collect two dirty cups of water. Realizing he couldn’t drink this contaminated water, it was in this moment he heard the Lord say to him, “Help them.”
He returned home from the mission trip with a conviction to somehow merge the two great scarcities of God and water into one ministry. Thus, The Bucket Ministry was born.
Since founding The Bucket Ministry in 2015, Christopher has expanded the ministry’s work beyond the Amazon to actively evangelize and provide water filters to over 20 countries. The Bucket Ministry’s mission is to share God’s love through the gift of safe, clean, drinking water; and Christopher has every intention to realize that mission in every place lacking its spiritual and physical blessings.
He is a graduate of The University of Kansas and has been married to his wife Sheri for nearly 30 years. They live in a small town outside Dallas, Texas, and have two children, Savannah and Griffin, grandson Eli, granddaughter Hazel and a new one on the way.

Sam's Bio
I am 43 years old, and live in NW Ohio. My wife, our 4 sons, and two basset hounds moved almost 2 years ago from NE Indiana, where I had lived my entire life. We are huge Chicago Cubs fans, and yes, the best day of our lives was November 2, 2016! : )
I have taught, online, for 4 years, and also have hosted a podcast for almost just as long! The 500 Section Lounge is the product of my wife telling me that I needed to socialize, after I started my online teaching. I decided that I loved to talk, so a podcast made a perfect fit, in my mind!
So, October 3, 2019, I started my podcast career. It worked out well, because that next March, we all knew the world came to a screeching halt. One thing that didn't stop was people were still willing, and had SO MUCH TIME, to do interviews!
I am the type of person who will talk to absolutely anyone, anywhere, anytime! I love conversing and finding out more about people! There are plenty of times that I will talk, upwards of 5 minutes, to the worker in the check-out line! If we have something to do, my wife will tell me that I can go get the car, so I don't make us late!
I just became a grandparent on October 12, 2022! I go by Pops! I didn't want to be grandpa... Pops was fitting for me! I love being Pops!
My wife and I love going to our boys' events. It's our "relaxation" time! We love seeing our boys performing.

“It's like He is four steps ahead of me…I always envisioned Him holding my hand, like I'm just right behind Him, and Him always turning around going, hold on one second, let me go in this door…I got this. And so I just felt like the whole journey was like that..” ~Dawn Barton
Have you struggled to believe that God will exchange your good for His better?
How would you respond if He asked you to surrender your season of success?
Our guest today, Dawn Barton, will share how God called her to transition from her successful career as a Mary Kay Consultant into becoming an author and how she has learned to navigate a new season of caretaking for her loved one.

Stunned to be entering her fifties as a successful author, she was inspired to write her second book, Midlife Battle Cry, urging women to resist the pull of streaming television algorithms and get excited about ‘redefining the mighty second half.
Dawn speaks at conferences, churches, elevators, and just about anywhere anyone will listen to her
thoughts on finding joy and humor in even the most difficult of circumstances. When she’s not smiling at blank pages pretending to write, Dawn is a speaker giving talks about cancer, joy, female empowerment, and direct sales, podcast host of the upcoming Porch Ramblings with Dawn Barton, and the founder of the Retreats at Trinity.

Tonya Bailey Jones: Godly Obedience Leads to Unexpected Calls“There are people even now who struggle with the reality of, I'm not moving because I don't feel like I deserve to be given that.” ~Tonya Bailey**
If you have ever felt this way, then you will enjoy today’s guest, Tonya Bailey, as she shares how her leap after retiring from the military allowed her to be a beacon of hope for her family and other women in ways she could have never imagined.
Tonya’s Bio:
Tonya Bailey Jones is a wife, mother, grand-mother, coach and transformational speaker. She is a retired Naval Officer with numerous awards and commendations. She graduated from University of Maryland-Baltimore with her bachelor's degree in Nursing and from Liberty University with her master's degree in Nursing education. With all these accolades and a successful career, you would think life was bliss for Tonya. However, it was anything but.
Tonya's professional success was birthed through decades of darkness, depression and despair and shrouded in shame and regret. When God gave Tonya the vision of speaking on stages, she
was excited and ready with thoughts of motivating women to rise to success from meager beginnings. However, that was not the assignment God had for her.
Through years of trepidation, apprehension and lots of self-discovery, Tonya is elated to now say she took the leap and is walking in God's calling for her life and moving at the pace of grace with God by her side.
As the creator and host of "Beauty Beyond the Ashes Podcast with Tonya B. Jones", she is reaching women throughout the world with the love of God. Known as "the lady with the soothing, compassionate voice who makes you want to lean in and chat," Tonya encourages women of faith to live beyond the guilt, shame and regret of their past choices and live in the fullness of who God created them to be.

It’s about Sacrifice. * Being on the same page is great, but remember you can be on the same page but in different sections.

Taking Big Bold And Brave Leaps In this episode Rachel is speaking with Clint Hatton. He is a husband, father to three boys, personal development coach, and has been pastoring for the last 16 years. He is also the author of Big Bold Brave, a book that inspires people to choose life and live boldly to fulfill their divine purpose.
Taking a leap or a move when you are married can be scary, especially when you don’t know what the next step is going to be. However, praying about it allows God to reveal to you and your partner what the leap is and when you should take the next step. Join the conversation with Clint Hatton as he shares his journey of big, bold, and brave leaps in his career, how he handled the transitions, and waiting periods when things were not moving as fast as he expected and why prayers, peace, and agreement are essential when taking a leap as a couple. He also talks about the loss of his firstborn son in 2019 which gave his family a compass and inspired him to write his book.

Balancing Motherhood and Your Calling in Ministry
Motherhood is a beautiful gift, yet we can easily begin to feel guilty if we feel called to do other things or step into other roles. As moms, we often need to be reminded that it's okay for us to function in our positional and missional responsibilities. Our positional responsibility is our role as a mom, while our missional responsibility is the calling outside the family. Sometimes they coexist and other times they are parallel to one another. Join this conversation with Jenn Uren and get equipped to live and leap.
Jenn is a mom of five kids and the host of This Mom Knows Podcast. Inspired by her love for home organization, she helps moms lean into what God has called them to do by creating a home that runs smoothly to support their mom-plus lifestyle. In this episode, she shares how understanding her positional and missional responsibilities allowed her to follow her calling and still show up as a mom without feeling guilty. She also shares how she balances her business, podcast, and family to keep their home running, and to have the physical and mental space to work on her passion projects.
If you feel overwhelmed by being the mom you were created to be giving the best to your family while trying to pursue your calling, this episode is for you.

Notable Quotes * Most mothers feel they do not have permission to do any other role apart from motherhood. * Moms have positional and missional responsibilities. * When we understand that the economy of our lives is built on different resources, we stop competing with other people. * When creating a motherhood and business balance, it’s important to know when certain things are inevitable. At times, hiring a house help or grocery delivery is the best thing to do.

Beyond the Comfort of Your Corporate Position into your Life’s PurposeWhen God gives you a vision, He doesn’t give it to a committee, he gives it to a single individual. However, fear of what others may think will often hinder us from making certain decisions, such as leaving a profitable high ranking job for a more community focused mission, moving to a new state, or taking care of a loved one. Join this conversation with James Rosseau as we discuss how and when to roll up your sleeves, go beyond your current position, and serve your purpose to the world.
James Rosseau is the Founder and CEO of The Corelink Solution, a non-profit that’s committed to empowering people to reach their potential. The organization delivers learning programs through the brand and faith-based media platform Holy Culture. His passion is to empower youth to understand, release, and maximize their potential.
James talks about how he chose not to be caught up in the demands of a corporate position to the detriment of his purpose. He explains that roles and positions are seasonal and the importance of not letting job titles or positions, which are temporary, stop us from serving our purpose, which is eternal. If you feel that God is calling you to do something courageous, this episode is for you.

Pursuing Things For God Without Holding Back Truth with Billy Hallowell
We are living in a "filter bubble," an era with too much information, but it is our responsibility to be in search of truth. Almost everyone can get into media and create an impact, but it is easy to get jaded by all the information out there. As Christians recognizing that we have different outlets and being authentic in our message without withholding our truth is key. Although, we all have opinions and perspectives, most of us don’t hold onto our truth enough, especially when we feel something is weird and want to exclude it from our conversations out of fear of how we will be perceived if we talk about it.
“We need to talk about it all from a Christian lens and provide a resolution. We’re called to the truth, and it should always be the baseline for everything we do, whether it’s on social media, podcasting, blogging, or working in a media company” - Billy Hallowell.
Join the conversation with Billy Hallowell as he shares how he got involved in journalism, the struggle of wanting to pursue things for God but becoming distracted by pursuing things for himself, and how talking about taboo and difficult topics gives an opening to speak and give life into someone else's. Billy is a journalist, commentator, and digital TV host who has covered thousands of the biggest faith and culture stories. He has written over 14,000 stories on faith, culture, and politics, interviewed hundreds of celebrities, authors, and influencers, and is the author of four books. He is currently a journalist and host with CBN News and Faithwire and was formerly the director of content and communications at Pure Flix and the former faith and culture editor at TheBlaze. If you are curious about how you can look at life and advance through a faith lens, this episode is for you!
Tune in!

[00:30] Episode intro and a quick bio of the guest
[01:44] Billy’s background and what he does in the faith media space
[02:59] Billy’s life before and how he became involved in the faith media
[06:22] The nagging desire that drew Billy to media from a tender age
[07:56] How we get distracted wanting to make a name for ourselves
[09:51] The moment that shifted Billy to pursuing things for God and not himself
[11:46] How Billy was able to gauge one good opportunity from the next big opportunity
[15:07] A bit about journalism and how Billy combines his faith into that
[17:52] Holding to the truth enough when getting your perspective out through media
[19:34] Billy’s book, Playing With Fire, and the reactions he received from people
[22:20] Why we need to be mindful of what we exclude because we’re afraid to talk about it
[24:44] Billy’s book writing journey and how he balances it with his journalism work
[26:39] Billy’s next leap
[27:30] Moving back to CBN after 3 years and why it was a God-led move
[28:53] Prayer and journaling: How Billy renews his spirit after covering difficult projects
[30:21] How to reach out, connect or learn more about Billy
NOTABLE QUOTES:
- God has a way of taking our interests and moving them in the way that he wants us to go when we trust him.
- A lot of time, we’re sprinting toward something that we want, but sometimes, we might be sprinting toward something that is not meant for us.
- We get so distracted by the things around us wanting to make a name for ourselves.
- As Christians, we are called to the truth, and it has to be the baseline of everything we do.
- The world is talking about some Christian topics more than Christians are doing it.

Today on the podcast Rachel will be chatting with Robin Jennings. He is an author, speaker, and teacher. As Rector of St. Francis in the Fields in Louisville, Kentucky, from 1983 until his retirement in 2014, Robin has years of experience encouraging countless churches and parishioners to cast a vision — to develop their personal life plans — equipping them with the tools necessary to participate in the divine nature of Jesus Christ. He evokes a deep level of participation, for the participation he engages Christians in is not about passively exercising one’s faith. Instead, Robin believes that when we participate in Jesus’s calling in our lives, we are energetic, involved, ever-changing and actively growing through our everyday, ordinary activities in life. He charges others to see the extraordinary revealed by the grace and knowledge found through our participation in the divine nature of the very real kingdom of God.
In this Episode we talk about about:
- What led him to going to Seminary and why God led him down that path
- How his personal experiences prepared and equipped him to write his books

Their family hit the public stage in 2014 when Jason and his twin brother, David, were fired by HGTV for their public stand on Biblical values. Many consider the Benhams to be the "OG of Cancel Culture." Since that time, the brothers travel the country encouraging believers to stand strong for their faith, whatever the cost.
Jason and Tori grew closer to each other as a result of this very public fight. Their book, Beauty in Battle, chronicles their story and the practical ways the conflict that could've torn them apart actually drew them together.
Jason holds a Master's Degree in Christian Counseling and Tori is a certified Emotional Intelligence and Enneagram coach. They have been married for more than twenty years, have four children, and live in Charlotte, NC.
In this Episode we talk about about:
- Advice and practical tools for married couples (and families) who are in transition.
- The fundamentals of managing conflict in a Godly way within marriage
- Advice for couples who have a partner pursuing their dreams and causes the other partner to feel triggered
- The benefit of “pause”
- The importance of dreaming together
- The benefits of conflict within a healthy relationship
