How to Gain Influence with Travis Waltner
Life Between Sundays
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...

Adam’s Mom and Dad - Learning Through Heartache and Loss
Life Between Sundays
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.

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...

The Weight of Change: 600lb Ethan Benard on His Weight-Loss Journey
Life Between Sundays
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.

I don’t know what change you are trying to make….relationship, health, career. Whatever it is, Ethan...

8 Books You Should Read in 2026
Life Between Sundays
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.

Chasing Your Calling Without Losing Yourself with Masey McLain
Life Between Sundays
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...

21 Instagram Must Follows + Hardwired for Friendship
Life Between Sundays
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...
