Dr. Kimber Krosschell: Ever Feel Like Something Is Off In Your Body But Every Time You Test It Comes Back "Normal?" | EP 11

I've spent years pushing through fatigue, brain fog, and hormone imbalances thinking it was just my normal — and for a long time, I didn't even realize how much it was costing me. Not just physically, but spiritually. You cannot fully live out a God-given calling when your body is running on empty. That's why I brought on Dr. Kimber Krosschell, naturopathic physician and certified functional hormone specialist, to have a conversation I wish I'd had decades ago. If you've ever felt like something is off in your body but every test comes back "normal," this episode was made for you. What stopped me in my tracks was when Dr. Kimber explained what busyness is actually doing to us on a physiological level. It's not just a productivity problem — it's a hormone problem, a cortisol problem, and honestly, a spiritual warfare problem. The enemy doesn't need to get you to sin big. He just needs to keep you urgent, overwhelmed, and too depleted to sit at God's feet. The urgent is literally giving us a dopamine hit that makes the important — God, family, calling — feel less rewarding by comparison. That's not a motivation issue. That's a biological trap. Dr. Kimber also brought something I wasn't expecting: the connection between identity, the words we speak over ourselves, and our physical healing. How you see yourself matters to your body. Calling yourself sick, broken, or exhausted isn't just an emotional habit — it's a declaration your cells are listening to. We talk about bioidentical hormones, the Proverbs 31 woman as the picture of hormonal balance, why rest is a gift not a command, and what's coming in Dr. Kimber's book Holy Hormones: From Hot Mess to Hormone Blessed. Part two is coming — and trust me, you don't want to miss it. 00:00 – Your Body Is Affecting Your Destiny: Meet Dr. Kimber 03:12 – God's Medicine: What Naturopathic Medicine Really Is 06:24 – Men Have Hormone Issues Too: Testosterone, Bioidentical vs. Synthetic 09:36 – Busyness Is a Tool of the Enemy (And It's Giving You a Dopamine Hit) 12:48 – God Rested First: The Biblical Case for Rest 16:01 – What Chronic Stress Is Literally Doing to Your Body 19:13 – Breaking the Cycle: Where Healing Actually Starts 22:25 – Stop Saying You're Sick: Identity, Words, and Declaring Healing 25:37 – Practicing Faith-Based Medicine With Believers and Non-Believers 28:49 – Holy Hormones: The Proverbs 31 Woman and What's Coming in the Book

Katy Perry's Mom Reveals the Day Jesus Appeared to Her on a Train | Mary Hudson PART 2 | EP 10

In this powerful Part 2 of my conversation with Mary Hudson, I sit down again with one of the most fearless women of faith I know to hear the rest of her story — and friend, it gets even more incredible. Mary takes us from interviewing President Jimmy Carter at the White House to a moment on a train between D.C. and New York City where Jesus Himself appeared to her in a long white robe. What He spoke to her in that instant changed everything, and her words still echo in my spirit: there is a supernatural realm sitting right on top of the natural one, and God wants you living in it. I love how openly Mary shares the messy middle of her journey — being backslidden, working herself to exhaustion in Las Vegas radio and TV, and finally being drawn back to a tiny church by a former Folly's showgirl turned fiery preacher. She tells us how she prayed her future husband Keith back to the Lord before she ever met him, how God broke through 10% odds and scar tissue to give her three miracle babies, and how she rose above heartbreak when her daughter's career took a turn she never saw coming. Her honesty about motherhood, joy, and "casting the care" hit me right between the eyes. We also talk about her book Joyful Mother Equals a Happy Home, the supernatural healing of her crossed eye that doctors couldn't fix, and the legacy she's leaving through 18 years of Arise conferences around the world. Mary closes with a prayer over every viewer believing for a miracle, a baby, freedom from suicide, or a fresh encounter with Jesus. If you need hope today, press play — and please share this episode with someone who needs to hear that God is still the God of new beginnings.

Katy Perry’s Mom, Mary Hudson, Shares Her Untold Testimony of Redemption | EP 09

In this episode of Trusted Voice, I sit down with Mary Hudson for a powerful and deeply personal conversation about her life, her past, and the redemptive power of Jesus. Mary opens up about the pain she carried after having an abortion as a young woman, the depression and shame that followed, and how God eventually brought healing, forgiveness, and freedom into her life. Mary also shares about her wild journey through Europe, Rhodesia, radio broadcasting, and the unexpected moments that led her to encounter Jesus. From a glamorous media career to a radical salvation experience in Las Vegas, her story is filled with moments where God was working behind the scenes long before she fully recognized Him. This conversation is a reminder that no story is too broken for God to redeem. What the enemy meant for evil, God can turn for good. Mary’s testimony will encourage anyone who has carried shame, regret, or questions about their purpose to believe that healing, destiny, and transformation are still possible.

Bunni Pounds - America Reads the Bible: Can Scripture Spark a National Revival in America? | EP 08

What happens when Christians from different denominations, leaders from across government, and voices from all spheres of influence come together for one purpose: to publicly read the Bible over America? In this episode of Trusted Voice, I sit down with Bunni Pounds to talk about the vision behind America Reads the Bible and why this moment feels bigger than an event. We talk about the 250th birthday of America, the spiritual hunger in the nation, and why returning to Scripture is not just symbolic, but essential. Bunni shares the powerful story of how this initiative was born, what it has taken to bring together hundreds of national leaders and ministries, and why she believes this is a historic moment of unity for the body of Christ. We discuss Christian engagement in civic life, the connection between revival and public leadership, and how churches, families, businesses, and communities can participate in this nationwide Bible reading movement. This conversation is full of faith, vision, and practical ways to respond. We also talk about Bunni's journey from public policy to ministry leadership, her new book Stepping Up to Lead, and the legacy she believes God is calling her to leave. This episode is a call back to the simplicity of prayer, worship, discipleship, and the Word of God. Whether you care about revival, Christian unity, America’s future, or biblical leadership, this conversation will stir your heart and challenge you to engage.

Ché Ahn - California’s Turning Point: A Pastor’s Call to Action in Politics and Faith | EP 07

In this powerful episode of Trusted Voice, Pastor Ché Ahn shares his incredible life journey—from his rebellious youth as a drug addict and hippie to becoming a devout follower of Christ at 17, to now running for governor of California. A first-generation immigrant with a deep understanding of both freedom and oppression, Pastor Ché Ahn has experienced the beauty of liberty firsthand, and he's now fighting for it in a state that needs it more than ever. In a candid conversation with Naomi Van Wyk, Pastor Ché Ahn recounts how he faced government persecution during the COVID lockdowns, and the bold decisions he made to keep his church open. His stand led to a monumental Supreme Court case that overturned California’s unconstitutional restrictions on worship, resulting in a victory for religious freedom. But Pastor Ché Ahn's vision extends far beyond the courtroom—he’s rallying churches and believers across California to rise up, unite, and bring revival to the state. Join us as Pastor Ché Ahn shares how God is calling him to awaken the church in California, transform the state’s political climate, and prepare a new generation of faith-driven activists. This conversation is a clarion call for all believers to get involved, pray, and vote for a brighter, more righteous future in California.
