I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Robert J. Hunt about the power of accountability. Robert shared openly about his own journey to financial freedom and how taking ownership changed his life. In our conversation, Robert explained why accountability leads to true freedom - when we stop making excuses and take action. His book "Nobody Cares Until You Do" tells the story of paying off $90k in debt through some difficult decisions. We also discussed how to live out our faith in everyday life, not compartmentalizing it to Sundays. Robert challenged us to view even our workplace as a mission field and glorify God in all we do. I'd highly recommend checking out Robert's book to learn more about embracing accountability. He's graciously offering the first two listeners a free copy just for being a fan of this podcast!

I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Amelia Walden, author of the inspiring new book "From Jew to Gentile." In our conversation, Amelia shares her incredible story of coming from a Jewish/Catholic background to discovering a personal relationship with Jesus. Even after attending Catholic school, she realized she knew little about the Bible or what it means to know God. It wasn't until attending a local church service as an adult that the gospel truly clicked for Amelia. She vividly recalls hearing the pastor mention the book of "Johnny" (John), which opened her eyes to how much she still needed to learn. From that point on, she was hungry to dive deeper into scripture and build an authentic faith of her own. Amelia is so transparent about the ups and downs of her journey - from having a negative view of Christians to finally embracing the grace Jesus offers. No matter your background, I think you'll find a lot of wisdom and encouragement in her story. We also talk about the divide in our culture and how we can stand for truth while still loving others well. This is so key right now! If you want to connect with Amelia or get a copy of her book, I've included links below. I'd highly recommend giving it a read - it blessed me tremendously.

I'm back with another faith-focused conversation that I think you'll really enjoy. Today's chat is with Mandy Pallock, a creative communicator who is passionate about using questions to build resilient relationships. In this interview, Mandy shares vulnerably about her journey from hating talking to people to discovering the beauty of curious questions. I think you'll be encouraged by her practical tips for overcoming awkwardness and asking great questions in your daily life. We cover a lot of ground, from modeling curiosity for our kids to living purposefully, even in mundane moments like waiting in line. Mandy has some fantastic thoughts on seeing people through Jesus' redemptive eyes, instead of attacking issues and people. I'd love to hear your takeaways in the comments! And if you want to dive deeper into Mandy's message, check out her new book The Question Habit, along with her podcast Presently Engaged.

I'm back with another faith-focused chat that I think you'll find super valuable. Today I had the pleasure of talking with Wyatt Simon, a real estate investor who has built an incredible $20 million portfolio starting with just a $200k line of credit. In our laid-back discussion, Wyatt shares his origin story of how he got into real estate investing, including the mindset shifts and practical steps he took. I think you'll be encouraged and motivated by his perspective on using wealth and assets to glorify God, rather than hoarding riches for selfish gain. We also talk about common obstacles that hold people back from financial growth and stability. Wyatt offers some great advice on getting out of your own way, doubling down on your talents, and hiring out the rest. A few key takeaways: - Mindset is key - believe you're worth what you say you're worth and develop the discipline to stick to it - Focus on your highest-value tasks and outsource the rest - Interdependence is powerful - do what you're uniquely gifted at so we can all prosper Whether you're hoping to grow in financial wisdom or be inspired by Wyatt's faith-fueled mindset, I think you'll enjoy our conversation.

I recently had an impactful chat with Logan Hufford, a man who has an incredible story of finding hope and healing from sexual addiction. Logan was trapped in a cycle of porn, affairs, and seeing prostitutes for years. He felt overwhelmed by shame and like there was no way out. But when his wife gave him an ultimatum to get help or lose his family, it was a wake-up call. In this video, Logan walks through his journey to recovery. He shares about the Christ-centered 12-step program he joined, about retraining his brain and building new neural pathways, and the vital role community played. I loved hearing how Logan emphasizes recovery must address all areas - spiritual, scientific, and practical. Just "getting your heart right" isn't enough. Lasting change requires tangible actions too. Logan also talks about resources that were helpful for him, like the Psalms, his Instagram account @nolongerinbondage, and the Conquer Series. I hope Logan's story gives hope to anyone feeling trapped in sexual sin or addiction. There is a way forward, and people who will walk with you. Recovery is possible through God's redemption and the support of others. What stood out to you most from Logan's journey? What questions do you have for him about the recovery process?

I recently had the privilege of chatting with Kenny Sacht, founder of Wipe Every Tear. His story is so compelling - while on a mission trip, he witnessed firsthand the horrors of sex trafficking that so many vulnerable young women face. As a father of five daughters, his heart broke and he felt called to do something. What began as a desire to help just one victim transform into a life of freedom has blossomed into an entire organization rescuing and restoring dozens of precious lives. In this interview, Kenny shares: - The origins of Wipe Every Tear and how his passion to help was ignited - Practical ways average people can get involved in supporting victims - Stories of survivors and how love and education is changing their lives - Why we must see all people, even perpetrators, through God's eyes I was so moved by Kenny's vision to simply "love them justly" - no judgment, no hero complex. Just meeting victims right where they're at with the heart of Jesus. If you feel stirred to help or learn more, check out the links below! I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments too.

Today's Faithful Friday LIVE, Johnny discusses yet another attempt on former President Donald J. Trump's life, as he tried to enjoy a game of golf on Sunday. The Scripture focus is Romans 12:2 (ESV), which reads:"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.""Violence in Politics: A Call to Prayer and Renewal of the Mind" will cover topics such as:1. Prayer for Unity and Healing: Regardless of political or religious views, we need to unite in prayer for the safety and protection of our nation's leaders, including former President Donald Trump.2. Media Responsibility: The power of media influence should be acknowledged, and the language used to describe political figures can have real-world consequences, as seen in recent weeks. The incessant comparisons to Hitler over the last 12 years have no doubt had a direct impact. The Mainstream media doesn't just have a rhetoric problem, they have a heart problem. #HeartsMustChange3. Biblical Call for Transformation: Romans 12:2 calls us to reject worldly division and seek the renewal of our minds to discern God's will, focusing on what is good, acceptable, and perfect.4. Protecting Life Above Politics: No one should face death threats or violence for their political role or candidacy—our faith calls us to value life and seek peace for ALL.This episode is sure to be 🔥🔥🔥 so grab your Bibles and buckle up!Don't miss out!

I recently had the blessing of chatting with Danielle Wingate, an inspiring woman of faith. Danielle shared openly about her powerful testimony, including some difficult seasons earlier in life. Yet through it all, God remained faithful, even using her pain for purpose. Now Danielle helps connect and equip women to walk in freedom and step into all God has for them. She wrote the book "Fighting for Freedom" based on her journey. In our conversation, Danielle offered insightful perspectives on cultural lies that can captivate women's hearts and distract them from God's truth. She highlighted the importance of knowing God's Word, allowing Him to search our hearts, and walking in the identity and purpose He has for us.

I'm excited to give you the inside scoop on my conversation with Garry Ingraham. As a pastor who ministers to those navigating faith and sexuality, Garry has incredible wisdom to share. In this video, Garry vulnerably opens up about his own story of struggling to reconcile his faith and same-sex attraction. From early childhood wounds to finding identity at a gay bar, his journey highlights the inner turmoil many wrestle with. Yet Garry's story doesn't end there. At 23, he had a powerful encounter with Jesus that transformed his life. Garry talks transparently about the messiness after conversion and the healing God brought over time. Throughout our chat, Garry offers sage advice for how Christians can stand for truth yet love others well. He shares the pitfalls of cultural Christianity versus authentic faith. We also discuss how to separate ideologies from people, ensuring you don't come across as self-righteous. I know you'll be encouraged and equipped by Garry's humble wisdom and personal experience.

Do you ever feel stuck in a career or life rut? My chat today with midlife career change coach Lisa Mustard is packed with inspiration. Lisa shares her own story of burning out in counseling and having a "wake-up call" at 40. Rather than staying stuck, she got curious about her skills and passions. This led her to start a successful podcast and online continuing education company. In this encouraging talk, you'll discover: - How Lisa turned her "midlife crisis" into an opportunity for growth - Why playing small and comparing yourself to others kills creativity - How Lisa aligned her business goals with her core values like family, faith, and fun - Simple ways we can all live more congruently and authentically I loved Lisa's message around the power of showing up authentically and making a difference. Her example reminds us that it's never too late to bring more meaning and joy into our lives. So if you need some Monday motivation, have a listen!

I recently had the privilege of chatting with Dr. David Chotka, a pastor and author who has traveled the world equipping persecuted and impoverished churches. His stories of seeing the raw faith of believers in places like Ukraine and Uganda firsthand were incredibly inspiring. These persecuted Christians had next to nothing materially, yet their joy and trust in God in the midst of horrific circumstances was profound. Dr. Chotka shared transparently about his own journey with his wife's battle with a wasting muscle disease. After years of praying, they realized they needed to shift their focus from seeking healing to seeking the Healer himself. Soon after, on a trip to serve churches in Africa, Dr. Chotka witnessed his wife miraculously healed after over 20 years of living with her condition worsening. It's a powerful testament to what God can do when we seek him above all else! As always, share your thoughts in the comments below!Podmatch:Want to be a podcast guest?

In today's Faithful Friday LIVE we discussed the recent conundrum Democrat voters have found themselves in. Unbeknownst to them, of course. Kamala Harris is the Democrat nominee for President of the United States, despite the lack of a "democratic" process altogether. 💣Not a single vote was cast. She has ZERO votes! 👀"Gaslighting and Governance: Turning to God for True Understanding" is sure to be a HOT TAKE you don't want to miss!
