She Walked Away From God… Then Heard His Voice

New artist, Rachel Purcell grew up surrounded by music in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, but her story goes way deeper than melodies and stages. From a young age, she knew who Jesus was… but somewhere along the way, she started living a double life. Church on one side. Pain, shame, and choices she never thought she’d make on the other. And then, at her lowest point, sitting alone in her car, Jesus met her there. No stage. No church service. Just a whisper from the Lord. In this episode, Rachel shares how God never stopped pursuing her, how a childhood prayer came full circle, and why her story is now giving hope to parents, prodigals, and anyone wondering if they’ve gone too far. Because the truth? You haven’t. Remember... Jesus meets you right where you are, not where you “should” be. Living a double life leads to exhaustion, but surrender leads to freedom. No story is too messy for redemption.

He Almost Gave Up His Dream… Then God Did This

“Follow God’s instructions, even when they don’t make sense, and watch Him do what only He can do.” Sean Rodriguez What do you do when God asks you to step into something that doesn’t make sense?

From kids ministry characters and inner-city roots to stepping out in faith with no guarantees, Sean’s story is a powerful reminder that obedience often comes before clarity. In this episode, Jonathan and Sean talk about trusting God when the path feels uncertain, serving faithfully in the “in-between” seasons, and how Jesus meets us right where we are—even when we’re ready to give up. 1. Obedience doesn’t always make sense, but it always matters. Sean followed God even when the instructions felt unclear, trusting that God would handle what he couldn’t. 2. Your “in-between” season is not wasted. Before music took off, Sean spent months serving behind the scenes and God used it to shape his character and connections. 3. Ask this question daily: Is someone’s life better because I was in it? That simple mindset shift turns everyday moments into ministry opportunities.

From Church Kid to Worship Leader: Chris Brown’s Rewrite Story

“Worship isn’t just written - it overflows from a life with God.”   Some stories are dramatic. And some are quietly powerful. This week on Rewrite, Jonathan sits down with Chris Brown from Elevation Worship and his story might surprise you. No wild detour. No rock-bottom moment. Just a life where Jesus was always present. Growing up in a small-town church, Chris saw faith lived out every day—at home, across the street at church, in the little moments that most people might overlook. And over time, that steady presence of Jesus became the foundation for everything—his calling, his family, and the songs now sung around the world.   Not every testimony is dramatic—but every life with Jesus is powerful. Sometimes the miracle is that He’s been there all along. Faithfulness over time creates impact you can’t always see. What feels ordinary today might be shaping something eternal. Your relationship with Jesus should overflow into your everyday life. Not just on a stage—but in your home, your habits, and your people.

Ellie Holcomb on Wrestling with God

“Jesus doesn’t step back from your brokenness - He leans in.” Ever feel like you’re trying really hard to be a good Christian… and still wondering if you’re enough? On this episode of Rewrite, Jonathan sits down with Ellie Holcomb for a really honest conversation about faith, heartbreak, motherhood, and the moments when following Jesus feels both beautiful and hard.

You don’t have to perform for Jesus. He loves you in your honesty, not your perfection. 2. Jesus moves toward the broken places. He meets us in grief, doubt, exhaustion, and even spiritual dryness. 3. Your truest identity is beloved. Before titles. Before relationships. Before success or failure — you are His.
