S1 Ep 7: The Highs & Lows of Life

We’re diving into the beautiful, messy reality of life... the "highs" that make us feel invincible and the "lows" that make us question everything. Pr. Elijah Griner and Pr D'Andre Thomas joined me in this episode to explore how to find gratitude when things are good, how to keep your footing when the ground starts to shift, and how to enjoy everyday life in between the highs and lows.

S1 Ep 6: Grace Behind Bars

Have you ever broken the law before? Many of us have, and at the end of the day whether you have or not, we all rely on God's love and His Amazing Grace. In this episode, Earl Miranda and Stephen Feist joined me in the garage to talk about their redemption story. We talked about the influence they received from their fathers, the need for belonging, the consequences of a life of crime, and ultimately, God's grace which changed their lives!

S1 Ep 5: It's Ok not to be Ok

This episode was recorded with a live audience, at New Life South Coast. We had a powerful conversation about dealing with life's struggles, mental health, counseling, and getting punched in the face! I was joined by Eddie Harrison, Pr. Wandson Santana, and Matt Brum, who got real and transparent about how they navigated through their struggles and the tools and strategies they have picked up though the process. There is a surprise somewhere in the middle of this episode, so make sure you stick around until the end!
