Descripción

This week’s conversation is tender, powerful, and honestly hard to put into words. In 2017, Hunter was told by doctors that he shouldn’t be alive today. Yet in the middle of that crisis, he had an encounter that changed everything: he remembers walking through heaven’s gates, sitting with Jesus, and hearing the words, “It’s not your time yet.” In this episode, Hunter shares how that experience reshaped his faith, what he remembers about the peace of heaven, and how it has changed the way he lives, loves, and shows up for people now. We talk about the way God can use what the enemy meant for evil and turn it into a story that draws others to Him, how Hunter’s family was impacted, and what it looks like to live like every day is a second chance. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to encounter Jesus, wrestled with fear about what comes next, or needed a reminder that God is still moving in impossible situations, this conversation will speak to you.

The One Thing in Your Life That Will Never Change (And Why That's Everything)

We change. Our circumstances change. The people around us change. And without even realizing it, we start to put that same lens on God — fitting Him into a human box simply because that's all we know. But Scripture doesn't say God changes with us. It says He never has and He never will. In this episode, we dive into what it actually means that God is unchanging — and why that truth is one of the most comforting things you can hold onto. We walk through the story of the woman in Mark 5 who had been suffering, broke, and exiled from her community for twelve years, and how one moment of bold faith changed everything. Then we talk about why His miracles don't have an expiration date, what neuroscience says about why we assume God moves the way we do, and how His consistency gives us a secure foundation that nothing in this world can offer. If you've ever wondered why God isn't showing up the way He did in the Bible — this episode is for you.

episode God's Timeline Isn't Slow... You're Just Being Impatient (Featuring Lainey Fahrner) artwork

God's Timeline Isn't Slow... You're Just Being Impatient (Featuring Lainey Fahrner)

What if the waiting isn't a sign that God forgot about you — but a sign that He's preparing something bigger than you planned for? In this episode, my sister Lainey is back, and we're getting into one of the hardest things to practice in your faith: patience. From hitting rock bottom and finally surrendering everything to God, to racking up scholarships she forgot she even applied for — Lainey's growth since her last episode is undeniable, and this conversation is proof of it. We talk about what it actually looks like to stop rushing God's timeline, how to tell when you're hearing God's voice vs. your own, and why the doors that close are sometimes the biggest blessings of your life. If you've been in a waiting season and wondering when it's finally your turn — this episode is for you.

episode Stop Playing It Safe With Your Prayers artwork

Stop Playing It Safe With Your Prayers

What if you've been praying — but not boldly enough? In this episode, I share two very real, very specific things I prayed for this past week — and how God answered both of them in ways I genuinely didn't expect. From almost failing a class to praying for an income stream on a walk, this conversation is about what happens when you stop vague-praying and start actually telling God what you want. We also get into the other side of it — why God is not a genie, how gratitude keeps you from missing the blessings already in your life, and why writing your prayers down might be one of the most powerful things you do this year. If you've been afraid to ask God for something specific, or you've been doubting that He's even listening — this episode is for you.

You Might Be Overcomplicating Your Relationship With God (Featuring Chazz May)

What if your relationship with God is simpler than you think? In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Chazz May for a conversation about what it actually looks like to have a real relationship with God — not just go through the motions. We talk about learning to hear God’s voice, journaling what He’s saying to you, and what it means to treat God like your best friend instead of something you only turn to at certain times. This episode is a reminder that God isn’t distant — He’s present in the little moments, the conversations, and the everyday parts of your life. If you’ve ever felt like your faith is complicated or hard to maintain, this might change the way you see your relationship with God.
