Everyday Faith Podcast

What if the reason your relationships feel unfulfilling has less to do with the people in them — and more to do with what you've been expecting them to fix? Dean Goossen is back for part two! Counselor, friend of the podcast, and father of eight – Dean walks us through one of the most honest and clarifying frameworks we've heard for understanding why we do what we do in relationships — starting wi...

What you believe is what you belong to. And that changes everything about your relationships. That's the idea at the center of this conversation with Dean Goossen — counselor, friend of the podcast, and father of eight. Dean has spent years sitting with people in their hardest moments, and what he keeps coming back to is this: most of our relational struggles aren't really about the other person. ...

Some of the most convincing arguments for faith aren't sermons. They're the ordinary moments where God shows up exactly when He's needed. In part two of our conversation with Kay Hiramine, we get more of the stories that have shaped his decades of walking with the Lord — moments of provision, healing, and community that defy easy explanation. Kay reflects on what real hospitality looks like, the d...

A Buddhist teenager, a secular leadership conference, and a moment that changed everything — this testimony is one you have to hear to believe. Today we're joined by Kay Hiramine, a man who has spent his life weaving relationships across more than 120 countries, and who carries one of the most remarkable testimonies we've ever heard on this podcast. Kay grew up in a Buddhist home in Southern Calif...

What is one thing you're carrying right now that Jesus already paid for? That's the question we leave every listener with at the end of this episode — and it's worth taking seriously before you answer it too quickly. As America marks 250 years of independence, we zoom out to look at where the idea of freedom actually started in this country. The faith of the Pilgrims. The God-language woven throug...

What happens when you strip away everything you've achieved, everyone you know, and everything that makes you feel significant — and all that's left is just you and God? For Ben Cooley, that question stopped being theoretical. He lost his job, his platform, and his sense of identity all at once. And what he found on the other side was something he couldn't have found any other way. Ben co-founded ...

What if the greatest gift you could give your kids isn't a better version of your parenting — but a healed version of yourself? Jeff Zaugg and Ben Cooley are back for part two of our Father's Day conversation, and this one goes to places we didn't expect. Both men get honest about the stories they carry — the moments of failure, the coping mechanisms built around pain, and what it actually looks l...

What if the most important thing you can do as a dad has nothing to do with how much you provide — and everything to do with how present you are? Father's Day is right around the corner, and we're doing something a little different. Today Dan sits down with two men who are thinking deeply about what it means to be a great dad — Jeff Zaugg, founder of Dad Awesome and father to four girls, and Ben C...

What if the mission God gave you was never meant to build your reputation — but to reflect His? In part two with Thann Bennett, we pick right back up where we left off — and the conversation just keeps getting better. Thann is the author of My Fame, His Fame, co-founder of A Fearless Life ministry, and a man God asked to turn around and face the people instead of the systems. We talk about humilit...

Your identity in Christ was never meant to be about you. And that's actually the most freeing thing you'll ever hear. That's the message Thann Bennett has been carrying for years — and in this conversation, he unpacks it in a way that is both deeply rooted in Scripture and completely practical for everyday life. Thann is the author of My Fame, His Fame, a speaker, former public policy leader, and ...
