When God Shows Me the Sin I’ve Been Hiding

I almost didn’t record this episode. For the last few weeks, God has been exposing a pattern in my life: I get overwhelmed, seek relief apart from Him, drift into temptation, feel guilt and shame, then hide instead of confessing. In this episode, I talk honestly about that cycle, the danger of making even good gifts into idols, and the healing that begins when we humble ourselves before God and trusted people in our lives. Your sin is not too bad. But pride will keep you from returning to the Lord.

“Do People Like Me Ever Get Better?” (Faith, Depression, and God)

There are seasons where you believe God is real… but everything still feels dark. In this episode, I sit down with my friend Tim to talk about his experience as a pastor walking through depression, anxiety, and what it looked like to keep following Jesus when he couldn’t feel anything. We talk about: * what depression actually felt like * how it impacted his faith * where God met him in the middle of it * and what it looks like to trust God when nothing makes sense This is an honest conversation. No quick fixes. No pretending. If God is real… and the Bible is His message to us… what now?

The Slap That Brought Him Back to God

Andrew shares how he went from growing up in church, to walking away, to finding his way back to God in a way he never expected. We talk about what it looks like to drift, what brings us back, and how God often works through ordinary (and sometimes strange) moments to get our attention. This is a real, unfiltered conversation about faith, struggle, and what it means to start walking with God again.

Tried by Fire: Trusting God Through Chronic Pain | Ben Buckland

After a devastating accident in 2016, Ben Buckland developed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), one of the most painful chronic conditions known to medicine. What followed were years of suffering, identity struggles, and learning to trust God in the middle of pain. In this episode, Ben shares how God has been refining him through the fire and how those trials led him to start the Tried by Fire Podcast and begin writing his upcoming book. We talk about suffering, identity, marriage, worship, and what it means to trust God when life looks nothing like you planned. If you’re walking through a difficult season, I hope this conversation encourages you to keep trusting God.

Trusting God With the Results of Obedience

Lately I’ve felt overwhelmed. That constant mental loop where everything feels urgent and nothing feels settled. Then God met me in a simple, unexpected moment — at a gas station — through Matthew 11:28: “Come to me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” In this episode, we talk about: * why trusting God is harder than we admit * what it means to trust Him with all your heart * learning to surrender the results of obedience * and the heart behind my new book, Live Humble: A Field Guide for the Wandering If you’d like to support the book and help bring it to print, you can find the Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1258302213/live-humble-a-field-guide-for-the-wandering?ref=user_menu [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1258302213/live-humble-a-field-guide-for-the-wandering?ref=user_menu] If you’re a believer, I’d truly appreciate your prayers for this season and for this project. #TheLiveHumblePodcast
