Living Beyond Sunday

Episode 49: Fatherhood, Weight, and the Way We See God w/ Dr. Samie

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2509348/fan_mail/new] This conversation hit deep. We sat down with Dr. Samie and talked about fatherhood, the weight fathers carry, and how so many of our views of God are shaped through the lens of earthly relationships. For some people, “father” brings comfort, safety, and presence. For others, it brings distance, pressure, silence, or pain. The beautiful thing about Jesus is that He didn’t come to reveal an angry distant deity. He came revealing the Father. We talked about identity, generational patterns, the pressure men silently carry, and how the love of God was never meant to feel transactional. A performance-based mindset will always make you feel like you have to earn what was freely given. But sons don’t live striving for belonging. Sons live from belonging. This episode felt less like a podcast and more like sitting around a table having an honest conversation about life, healing, responsibility, and grace. Whether you’re a father, healing from father wounds, becoming a father, or simply learning to see God rightly, this one’s for you.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2509348/support]

Episode 48: Grief, Grace, and Gratitude w/ Michael and Ashton Mitcham

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2509348/fan_mail/new] In Episode 48, Michael and Ashton join us for a deeply honest conversation about grief, grace, healing, and gratitude. For those who know Living Beyond Sunday, Ashton is usually the one behind the scenes helping bring every episode to life through creativity, production, and countless unseen moments that help carry the vision forward. In this episode, we step away from the usual format and sit down for a conversation that’s personal, vulnerable, and real. Without diving into every detail, we talk through painful seasons, loss, difficult beginnings, and the weight that life can sometimes place on people long before anyone else notices. But more importantly, we talk about grace. The kind that quietly sustains you. The kind that meets you in the middle of grief and slowly teaches your heart how to breathe again. This episode isn’t about pretending pain doesn’t exist. It’s about discovering that even in broken places, gratitude can still grow and God can still be found present in the middle of the story. A meaningful conversation filled with honesty, reflection, hope, and the reminder that no chapter is wasted. Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2509348/support]
