Season 4

What if the prayers you've been praying have been asking God to do something He already did — and something He already asked you to do? Today we’re sitting down with Mark Halstensgard — a finance professional, husband, dad, and someone who carries some of the most remarkable testimonies we've heard on this podcast. Mark grew up in a faith-filled home, but it wasn't until his senior year of high sc...

What if living out the Beatitudes isn't about becoming a better person — but about letting Jesus overflow out of you into the people right in front of you? That's the thread running through part two of this conversation with Andrew Steier — and it ties the whole two-part series together beautifully. Andrew is a pastor, author, and founder of Always Going, and in this episode he and Jess and Abby f...

What if the Beatitudes aren't just inspirational words on a plaque — but the clearest picture Jesus ever gave us of what it actually looks like to live from overflow? Andrew Steier is back, and this conversation is one we've been looking forward to. Andrew is a pastor, author, and founder of Always Going — a ministry dedicated to helping believers live on mission and share the gospel in everyday l...

It's never too late to start using your words to build the people around you up. Not with your kids. Not with your team. Not with yourself. Jody Hill is back for part two, and this conversation is just as rich as the first. Jody is the author of The Parent's Secret Superpower, and today she brings the science, the scripture, and the stories that make everything she teaches click into place. We ope...

What if the most powerful thing you can do for the people around you is already inside you — and you just don't know how to use it yet? Jody Hill never set out to write a book. She was a communications major turned photographer turned accidental author — and the message she stumbled into came directly out of one of the hardest seasons of her life. In part one of our conversation, Jody shares how w...

The dream isn't just the picture you see at the end. The dream is walking out the process that gets you there. That's one of the most honest things Scott Ingegneri says in part two of this conversation — and by the time he says it, you've already heard enough of his story to know he means every word. Scott is a pastor, CEO of ACT International, and a man who has been saying "Good morning, Holy Spi...

He's been saying "Good morning, Holy Spirit" every single day since second grade. And the way he sees people because of it will make you want to do the same. Scott Ingegneri is a pastor, author, songwriter, dad of four, and CEO of ACT International — a missions organization that supports over 500 creative and innovative ministries around the world. But the story that sets the tone for everything h...

She couldn't pray for the outcome. She couldn't see what was coming. All she could do was take the next right step — and trust that the years of faithfulness in the secret place would hold. Part two with Ashlee Assadi is one of those conversations that stays with you. Ashlee opens with what the Lord has been placing on her heart — the conviction that He will use everything developed in the secret ...

What if God can see you in the darkest place you've ever been — and He's already on His way to find you? In part one, Jess sits down with Ashlee Assadi — wife, mom of five girls, artist, and writer whose words have now reached millions of people. But Ashlee's story doesn't start with a platform. It starts with a 21-year-old girl on her knees in tears, asking God if He's even real. Ashlee shares th...

What if saying yes to God — even when it costs you everything — is actually the safest place you can be? Today we're joined by Yegor Hambaryan, a friend of the podcast who has lived more adventures with Jesus in one lifetime than most of us could imagine. Yegor grew up in Armenia, came to faith as a young boy at a summer camp, lost both of his parents as a teenager, and went on to spend years as a...
