Accountability That Actually Works (Real Talk with a Longtime Friend)

Accountability isn’t about pressure—it’s about purpose.   In this episode of the Live Your Purpose Podcast, I sit down with my longtime friend and accountability partner, Travis.

How to Know When God Is Leading You (Even When It’s Scary)

In this episode of the Live Your Purpose Podcast, we talk about one of the hardest—and most important—parts of the Christian life: learning to listen to God’s leading.   I share my personal journey of leaving my hometown and moving to Omaha to help start a church plant, including the doubts, fears, and questions that came with taking a bold step of faith. How do you know what’s truly from God and what’s just your own thoughts? How do you leave behind what’s comfortable to step into what God is calling you toward?   We also talk about that spiritual “sixth sense”—the quiet confidence that comes when you’re aligned with the Holy Spirit. That moment when you just know that you know that you know, even when the path ahead isn’t fully clear.   If you’re wrestling with a decision, sensing a nudge from God, or feeling stuck between comfort and calling, this episode is for you.   In this episode, you’ll learn:   - How to discern God’s voice amid uncertainty   - Why obedience often requires leaving comfort behind   - How fear and peace can coexist   - What it feels like to be in alignment with the Holy Spirit   - Practical filters for making faith-filled decisions   🎧 New episodes of Live Your Purpose drop regularly—subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next!
