Headlines shout. Our hearts want to shout back. We chose something harder—and braver—a holy pause to ask what God is saying in the middle of grief, confusion, and the swirl of opinions. We honor Charlie’s life by refusing cheap noise and by picking up the work he modeled: live the gospel out loud with courage, love, and action that outlasts outrage.

We walk through the shock of loss and then track the unexpected signs of hope: surging searches for Christianity, communities returning to church, and people asking better questions. Along the way, we trace a pattern of “full circle” moments—how God brings us back to the beginning to complete healing, shift our perspective, and launch us into purpose.

Have you ever wondered why it's so difficult to believe you're truly loved, no matter what? That struggle is at the heart of our spiritual journey.

"Love like Jesus" sounds simple, but requires something profound first—allowing ourselves to be fully loved by Him. In this soul-stirring conversation, we unpack the vast difference between human love (conditional, performance-based) and God's agape love (unconditional, steadfast, relentless).

Have you ever wondered why you keep facing the same challenges over and over? That irritating coworker, family conflict, or professional disappointment might actually be a divine test revealing what's in your heart.

In this transformative episode, we unpack the crucial difference between God's testing and Satan's temptation. Testing from God proves our trustworthiness and readiness for greater purpose, while temptation lures us away from our divine calling. Understanding this distinction completely changes how we respond to life's difficulties.

The line between life and death is not always as clear as we think. Some stories defy medical explanation and invite us to consider the power of faith when science reaches its limits.

Angelic shares the remarkable 30-year journey of her son, Austin, who was born with complex congenital heart defects that doctors were certain would be fatal. From his earliest open-heart surgeries as an infant to a dramatic airport collapse in 2018—where he went without oxygen for more than twenty minutes—Austin’s survival has left medical professionals stunned. His story is not a single miracle moment, but an ongoing testimony of God’s resurrection power.

What if the things you're reaching for to feel alive are actually draining the life out of you? 

Most of us have seemingly harmless habits we've developed to cope with stress, boredom, or emotional voids. Whether it's that nightly glass of wine after a hard day, scrolling through explicit content online, or constantly seeking validation through achievement and people-pleasing – these coping mechanisms often masquerade as innocent indulgences.

Gratitude transforms everything—not just when life feels good, but especially during our darkest storms. This powerful conversation reveals how thankfulness works as both spiritual practice and biological necessity.

We're naturally wired for negativity. Research shows negative experiences stick to us like Velcro while positive moments slide off like Teflon. That's why gratitude requires intentional practice. Studies from neuroscientists like Dr. Daniel Amen and Dr. Caroline Leaf reveal that gratitude physically rewires our brains, increasing activity in the prefrontal cortex where judgment, impulse control, and empathy live. Meanwhile, thankfulness floods our bodies with feel-good chemicals while reducing stress hormones.

What would change if you truly understood the power your thoughts have over your reality? In this transformative episode, we dive deep into the revolutionary science behind how our thought patterns physically reshape our brains and ultimately determine our life experiences.

Neuroscience has caught up to what scripture has been telling us all along: we are quite literally what we think. Research from experts like Dr. Caroline Leaf reveals that up to 98% of mental, physical, and behavioral issues stem directly from our thought patterns. Even more fascinating, our thoughts create actual physical structures in our brains—positive thoughts form perfect tree-like neural structures, while negative thinking creates visibly damaged patterns.
