In this episode, I sit down with longtime friend and Embrace Executive Pastor, Travis Waltner, to talk about influence. What it is and how to grow yours! We talk about influence. How it’s built, how it’s lost, and why humility matters more than being the loudest voice in the room. We unpack how influence can be lost just as quickly as it is gained, why presence is more important than platform and what it looks like to lead in the small, unseen moments. From leadership to everyday life, this conversation offers practical wisdom for growing influence the right way, especially in the...

In this episode, I sit down with two of my favorite people, my mom and dad. We reflect on faith, family, and what it looks like to love people well in every season of life. The good ones, the hard ones, and the ones where you’re not quite sure what God is doing. We talk about celebrating the wins, walking through loss, and showing compassion when someone feels stuck or unsure of where to turn. No matter where you find yourself, I hope this episode reminds you that God’s love meets you right in the middle of your everyday life, especially in the life between...

In this episode, we sit down with Noah Herrin - author, speaker and pastor of Way Church in Nashville. Noah’s star is quickly rising, but what really stands out is his commitment to being authentic and saying “no” to things that pull him away from what God’s called him to do. We talk about being a Godly man, what it looks like to choose the right partner in life, and Noah drops some incredible wisdom when it comes to dating. Friends, you won’t want to miss this conversation! Listen in and share with a friend! Grab a copy of Welcome to Manhood: Billy Graham “3...

I’m so pumped about today’s episode because I got to interview a guy I only know through his Instagram account: Ethan Benard. Ethan used to weigh over 600 pounds and he shares the ups and downs of his incredible weight-loss journey. He shares the challenges of maintaining motivation, the mental struggles he has when he puts in the work and doesn’t see progress and the importance of having a strong “why” to keep going on the tough days. I don’t know what change you are trying to make….relationship, health, career. Whatever it is, Ethan...

In this episode, Emily and I are kicking off 2026 talking about fresh starts. Why we love them, why they matter, and why they don’t always go the way we hope. There’s something about a new year that invites us to pause, reflect, and ask what kind of people we actually want to become. I’m sharing 8 books you should read in 2026 - not as a checklist, but as tools that can help shape your thinking, your faith, and the direction of your life. Even one or two of these could make a real difference. If you’re stepping into this year with hope, questions, or a desire to grow, I hope this...

In this episode, I sit down with J.D. Greear, pastor of The Summit Church in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina. Under J.D.’s leadership, The Summit has grown from a church of about 300 people to a movement of over 12,000. They have a bold vision to plant 1,000 churches by the year 2050. Woah!! But what I love about this conversation is that it’s not about numbers. It’s about leadership in real life. We talk about the complexities and weight of leadership, how to find balance when everything feels overwhelming, and what it looks like to lead faithfully in a divided world without...

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Shawn Johnson. He is the lead pastor of Red Rocks Church, an author, and someone God has used to impact thousands. And he is the coolest! Shawn shares openly about being diagnosed with Parkinson’s, the battle with depression that followed, and what it looks like to keep getting back up when life knocks you down. We talk about choosing joy on purpose, why fun actually matters in your faith, and the hope that will hold steady even on the hardest days. If you’ve ever felt like giving up, or you’re trying to keep going when things feel heavier than...

In this episode, I sit down with Brittany (Thune) Lindberg. An incredibly gifted singer-songwriter who also happens to be the daughter of the current U.S. Senate Majority Leader. We talk about the good and hard parts of growing up in the political spotlight. She also shares honestly about learning to live in the world but not be of it, surrounding yourself with people who think differently than you, and finding her own identity and calling as an artist. I also have to mention that Brittany and her husband Luke are dear friends of my wife and I’s. If you’re trying to stay true...

This week, I got to sit down with Masey McLain. She’s an actress, screenwriter, and producer who’s doing some seriously meaningful work. Whether she’s on set, writing, or speaking, Masey is passionate about telling stories that matter. <br><br> One of the things I admire most about her is her conviction. She’s said “no” to a lot of opportunities in Hollywood because they didn’t line up with who she is or what she feels called to. That kind of integrity is rare.<br><br> We also talk about her new movie, Soul on Fire, the true story of John O’Leary. And...

In this episode, we talk honestly about something so many of us feel but almost never say out loud: loneliness. It’s crazy how life can look so full from the outside… so many people, so much activity… and yet on the inside, we feel completely empty. <br> <br> We’ve gotten really good at giving the illusion that everything’s great, even when it’s not. But that gap between what we show and what’s actually real? It’s exhausting! And it’s taking a toll on so many of us. Loneliness can affect us mentally, spiritually, and even physically.<br> <br> But hear...
info_outlineLast year, the Wall Street Journal reported that Bible sales are up by 22% from the year before (how cool is that?!).
So in today’s episode, we’re hanging out with Amanda Bible Williams, the amazing co-founder of She Reads Truth. If you’ve never checked it out, it is an incredible community that helps women engage with the Bible every single day.
Amanda opens up about her journey and shares some cool insights on why more people are opening up their Bibles, and why community matters when it comes to sticking with it. Plus She gives some practical tips for those just starting out on their faith journey (like what translation of the Bible to buy and what chapter to start with when reading the Bible for the first time).
She also offers some heartfelt encouragement to anyone who has been hurt by the church - find out who Jesus is for yourself by reading His Word. He loves you and will meet you right where you're at.
Friend, this conversation will encourage you to keep opening your Bible and remind you that you don’t have to do it alone.
