Trusting God's Next Step with Misty Phillip

Trusting God's Next Step with Misty Phillip
God has a purpose for each one of us before the foundation of the world! There’s a unique calling on each of our lives. His plans are good, but that doesn’t mean our lives will be without struggles. Jenny’s guest is best-selling author, faith leader, and technology executive Misty Phillip. She is equipping people to navigate life, faith, leadership, and technology with wisdom and discernment. From boardrooms to podcasts and the pages of her award-winning books, Misty encourages believers to lead boldly in a digital age without losing their souls to the screen. While many know Misty for her work helping Christians think biblically about artificial intelligence, this conversation also reveals the heart behind her ministry. She shares the painful losses and difficult seasons that have shaped her life, how God's faithfulness carried her through them, and the unexpected way He called her to leave a successful business to follow His leading into a completely different season of ministry. Her story is a powerful reminder that even when obedience is costly, God is always at work, bringing hope, purpose, and more than we could imagine. This is Part 2 of the conversation about AI, faith, discernment, and the hope we have in Christ. You can find Misty’s books, including “The Trojan Horse of the Digital Age: Why Christians Must Discern AI” online at Amazon and at Mistyphillip.com

AI, Faith & Discernment: Navigating the Digital Age with Misty Phillip
Artificial intelligence is changing our world faster than most of us ever imagined. After years of studying how technology is shaping our lives, Jenny’s guest, Misty Phillip became convinced Christians needed to think differently about AI. Whether you've embraced it, avoided it, or simply wondered what all the excitement is about, today's conversation will help you think about AI through the lens of faith and biblical discernment. Misty is the author of “The Trojan Horse of the Digital Age: Why Christians Must Discern AI” and helps us explore how we can navigate this new world with wisdom, discernment, and faith. And there's another story you'll hear today that I think will encourage your heart. God asked Misty to walk away from the successful venture she had built to follow an entirely different calling. That step of obedience wasn't easy—but it opened doors only God could open. Misty is the visionary COO of Trilogyworks, an advisory services firm that specializes in cybersecurity and AI. You can hear this story on Part 2 of this episode. Obedience isn't always easy, but as Ephesians 3:20 reminds us, God "is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us." When we trust Him, He is always faithful. You can find Misty’s books, including “The Trojan Horse of the Digital Age: Why Christians Must Discern AI” online at Amazon and at Mistyphillip.com

What Does It Really Mean To Follow Jesus? with Jason Butler (Part 2)
In Part 2 of Jenny’s conversation with Pastor, Counselor, and Author Jason Butler, you'll hear a remarkable testimony of God's transforming grace. Jason shares how God met him in the midst of multiple addictions and led him on the road to recovery, called him to leave a successful career, and led him into ministry through simple—but costly—obedience. Together we explore what it means to answer Jesus' call, just as Matthew did when Jesus simply said, "Follow Me." We also discuss the powerful account of the Rich Young Ruler and the challenging question that every believer should consider: “Will Jesus know you?” Jason also shares insights from his book, “Will Jesus Know You? :The Blueprint to Mold Your Heart to the Heart of the Father!” , along with what God has been teaching him in the quiet seasons of life—those moments when our faith is often deepened the most. If you've ever wondered whether God is asking you to take a step of faith, or if you're longing to know Him more deeply, I believe this conversation will encourage your heart and challenge you to trust Him more fully. Jason has a teaching podcast, “Will Jesus Know You?” and his book is available online and at major retailers.

What is it like to walk where Jesus walked?! Jenny’s guest is Pastor, Counselor & Author Jason Butler. He just returned from Israel - the epicenter!

In Part 1 of this compelling conversation, Jason talks about the beauty of the land where Jesus walked, being on the Sea of Galilee, the challenges facing Messianic Jewish believers, spiritual warfare, and what surprised him most during his visit. He also shares why he believes it's important to seek truth with discernment rather than relying solely on today's news cycle. Whether you've visited Israel, dream of going someday, or simply want a deeper understanding of the land where biblical history came to life—and where Scripture says Christ will one day return—this conversation will encourage and challenge you. His podcast is "Will Jesus Know You?" Part 2 of this conversation goes into Jason's personal story of success, overcoming addictions and following Jesus. You can find his book, “Will Jesus Know You?: The Blueprint to Mold Your Heart to the Heart of the Father!” on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, and other major retailers.

Why Doesn’t God Answer My Prayers with Dr. Erwin Lutzer
Have you ever wondered why God doesn't seem to answer your prayers? Maybe you've prayed for healing, restoration, direction, or someone you love—and heaven has seemed silent. If you've ever asked, Does God even care?, you're not alone.

An award-winning author, respected theologian, and host of the worldwide radio ministry Running to Win, Dr. Lutzer has spent a lifetime helping people understand God's Word and His faithfulness. Drawing from his powerful book, “Why Doesn't God Answer My Prayers? A Biblical Guide to God's Hidden Purposes,” Dr. Lutzer explains how God is at work even when His answers aren't what we expect—or when He seems silent. Dr. Lutzer helps us look at how unanswered prayer can deepen our faith, strengthen our trust, and reveal God's love in ways we may not recognize at first. Whether you're struggling with doubt, walking through a difficult season, praying for a prodigal, or searching for hope, this conversation offers biblical truth, encouragement, and practical prayers for you and those you love.

And the story of the Rich Young Ruler also challenges us to examine our hearts and priorities in following Christ! Thanks to our Ministry Partner Campbell Dental Care.

When God Doesn’t Heal (Part 2): Finding Hope, Purpose, and Joy with Chad & Sadie Roberts
What do you do when you believe God can heal… but He doesn’t? This is the 2nd part of a powerful and deeply honest conversation with Pastor Chad and Sadie Roberts as they continue talking about faith in the middle of life’s hardest storms after Chad lost his sight—a life-altering moment that challenged everything he believed about healing, and suffering. In Part 1, Chad and Sadie share their journey through loss, questions, and unwavering faith, offering hope to anyone who has ever asked: Why didn’t God change this? How do I keep trusting Him when life feels unfair? If you are walking through a difficult season, this episode reminds you that God is still present, still working, and often does His deepest work in the middle of the storm. Chad Roberts is the founder and lead pastor of Preaching Christ Church in Kingsport, Tennessee, and author of Blind Faith: Seeing God Through Darkness. Sadie Roberts serves through Strong ACC (From Cradle to Career), and together they host the marriage podcast The Marriage Conversation.
