The What Now Podcast: Where Your Feet Are

What is the Bible?

In this episode of Where Your Feet Are, Mitch joins Adam to tackle a huge question in a really accessible way: What is the Bible? If you’re new to faith, curious about Jesus, or you’ve grown up around church but never really understood how the Bible works, this one’s for you. Mitch breaks the Bible down like a library, not just one book—walking through the different types of writings in the Old and New Testaments (law, history, poetry, prophets, Gospels, letters, and Revelation) and why that matters for how we read it today. You’ll hear about: * Why there are 66 books and how they fit together * What genres are in the Bible and how that shapes what you’re reading * How chapters and verses got there (and why they can sometimes get in the way) * How the early church decided which books made it into the Bible * What translations are, why they sound different, and how to pick one * The deeper “why” behind the Bible: not just information, but knowing Jesus Mitch closes by unpacking what it means to actually follow Jesus through Scripture—moving from just reading words to sitting at His feet, like Mary did, and letting truth lead you into real freedom. If you’ve ever thought, “The Bible seems confusing, complicated, or outdated,” this episode will give you a clear, practical starting point—without pressure, without perfect answers, and always right where your feet are.

Give Him the Keys Part 2

What do you do when you’ve handed God the keys to your life…and everything still falls apart? In this deeply honest episode, Adam shares the most painful part of his story: losing his first son, AJ, and wrestling with whether he could really trust God after that. From screaming at God in the middle of a small Florida neighborhood to hearing the quiet whisper, “I’m going to give you three,” Adam walks through how grief, anger, and confusion became the ground where trust and surrender were rebuilt. You’ll hear about: * Losing a child and choosing not to take the “keys” back from God * How God unexpectedly built a family out of tragedy * The simple, scared prayers God still chose to answer * Experiencing God as Adonai (Lord), Jehovah (relational God), and Elohim (all-powerful) in real life, not just in theory * Why being connected to a local church and community is critical when life falls apart * What it practically looks like to say, “Not my will, but Yours,” one step at a time If you’re wondering whether God is really good, really in control, or really worth trusting after what you’ve been through, this episode is for you. No fake answers. No pressure to pretend you’re okay. Just a real story of pain, surrender, and the unexpected ways God shows up when you let Him drive. Listen in and consider: will you give Him the keys—even here, even now, right where your feet are?

Give Him the Keys Part 1

What does it actually mean to “give God control” of your life—and why is it so hard to do? In this episode of Where Your Feet Are, Adam talks honestly about one of the biggest tensions in following Jesus: we love the idea of a powerful, loving “Father God,” but we struggle when He asks to be Lord—the actual owner and driver of our lives. Using the stories of: * Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane (“Not my will, but yours be done”), and * Peter stepping out of the boat to walk on water, Adam unpacks what it looks like to hand God the keys, not just call Him your co‑pilot. You’ll hear about: * Why losing control is at the heart of every powerful story (and your faith one too) * How Jesus Himself wrestled with fear, dread, and obedience the night before the cross * The difference between knowing God as “Daddy” (Abba) and trusting Him as Lord and Owner (Adonai) * A simple challenge: one area of your life this week where you can stop co‑piloting and let God drive If you’re new to faith, full of questions, or not sure you’re ready to trust God with everything, this conversation is for you. No perfect answers, no pressure to fake it—just real talk about control, fear, and steady steps of trust, right where your feet are today. Perfect for those who are: * Curious about Jesus * Wrestling with decisions, anxiety, or “what’s next?” * Wanting a faith that’s real, not just religious talk Stay tuned for Part 2, where Adam shares a raw personal story of when he had to give God the keys in a really hard situation.

No Easy Way Out

In this episode of Where Your Feet Are, Rob gets real about what following Jesus actually looks like when life is hard. Using an iconic scene from Rocky IV (yes, including the “No Easy Way Out” montage), he unpacks a big truth: choosing Jesus isn’t choosing the easy way out—it’s choosing the only real way through. If you’re new to faith, wrestling with doubts, or trying to figure out how Jesus fits into your real, everyday life as a teenager or young adult, this conversation is for you. Rob talks honestly about: * Why following Jesus doesn’t make your problems magically disappear * The difference between being saved from sin and still struggling in a broken world * How God can redeem pain, even when He didn’t cause it * The story of Joseph and what it teaches us about betrayal, suffering, and purpose * Why perseverance matters—and how God uses your hardest seasons to grow you You’ll walk away reminded that there may be no easy way out, but there is a way through: a real, living relationship with Jesus.

Do You Know Who You Are?

In this episode of Where Your Feet Are, Rob tackles one of the biggest questions we all wrestle with: Who am I, really? Using Jeremiah 1:5, Rob breaks down three powerful truths about your identity: * You are known – Before anyone followed you, noticed you, or misunderstood you, God already fully knew you—your questions, your doubts, your fears, and your potential. * You are formed – You’re not random or accidental. God personally designed your personality, passions, and wiring. Salvation doesn’t create your purpose; it reveals it. * You are set apart – Being a Christian isn’t about blending in; it’s about belonging to God first. You’re called to live differently in your school, friend group, team, and online spaces—and you’re not doing it alone. God is with you. Whether you’re a teen just starting to explore faith, a college student wrestling with purpose, or a young adult trying to figure out your next step, this conversation will help you see your life as intentional, valuable, and deeply seen by God. If you’ve ever thought: * “I’m too young.” * “I don’t know enough about the Bible.” * “I don’t fit the ‘Christian mold.’” * “Do I even matter?” …this episode is for you. Listen in and ask yourself: What would change this week if I really believed I am known, formed, and set apart by God?
