58: Ladybug at the Well with Reina Cherry Jul 09, 2025

Show notes

If there is one woman I want to grow up and be like, it's probably Reina Cherry. You may not know her name, but her impact can be felt amongst hundreds of women that she has discipled and cared for over decades of ministry. She makes more disciples than cookies (and she makes a LOT of cookies - shout out Reina Cookies). She is fiercely devoted to a life centered around Christ and inviting other people into that life. And she is absolutely hilarious.

She is the goal and I am honored that I got to share time with her.

57: Beyond Your Circumstances with Jeramiah Bowles Jun 25, 2025

Show notes

Life has dealt Jeramiah a hand he maybe wouldn’t have picked for himself. But, God. Because of His faith in Jesus, Jeramiah has chosen a different path. One of joy and gratitude. One of hard work and generational legacy. His testimony is one of deep struggle and pain, but also one of big redemption, big healing, and big hope.

No matter where you find yourself, no matter the circumstances, God is bigger and we know He’s good. It’s messages like Jeramiah’s that remind us of this vital truth.

56: Your Story Matters with Tori Hein Jun 11, 2025

Show notes

We all have a story. We all have many life experiences, big and small, that make up who we are - the lights and the shadows.

What’s wild is we may not even realize how parts of our story play out in our everyday lives.

This week, I sat down with Tori Hein. She is a trauma-informed coach with Freedom Movement who wants to see all people walk in freedom through the power of Jesus Christ. She shares her story of hurt and healing and how much more alive she is by not white knuckling life any longer and surrendering it all to Jesus.

Anytime, I talk to Tori or hear her teach, I am encouraged and challenged to keep surrendering, knowing His ways are better.

Also, she’s giving any Neighbors fans $100 (!!) off their course. They also have a free version you can start with to see if it’s for you.

55: Get in the Fight with Mike Dragich May 28, 2025

Show notes

This week, I sat down with alligator trapper, marine corps veteran, MMA fighter, and founder of Project Savior Outdoors, Mike Dragich. We talk about how the fight in him turned from vengeance to justice after meeting Jesus. He inspires everyone around him to get in the fight, whatever that looks like for you.

Project Savior Outdoors is a ministry to fight veteran and first responders suicide. We discuss the realities of suicide in those fields and how the hope of Jesus is fighting back the darkest darkness. All while hunting alligators and adventuring in creation.

It’s a good one friends.

54: I Have a Job for You with Chantelle Kammerdiener May 14, 2025

Show notes

I want to be Chantelle when I grow up! She is wise, confident, and sharp. AND has a heart that beats for people, particularly survivors of human trafficking. Chantelle led a successful career in business (even working for the horse, Secretariat, more on that in the convo!) and as she encountered the brokenness of human trafficking, she knew she had to join the fight. So with a couple others, she founded Arize Together - a forever community that is breaking the cycle of sexual exploitation.

Hearing her talk so tenderly and proudly about the survivors in their community and why it matters that we care for the broken and the hurt is inspiring. I hope it inspires you to take the step God is calling you to take to walk out what it looks like to love Him and love people well.

For more info on Arize Together, go to http://www.arizetogether.org/ or follow them on Instagram @arize.together

Episode 53: The Country Music Missionary with Lou Ramirez Apr 30, 2025

Show notes

Lou Ramirez is a follower of Jesus and a behind-the-scenes powerhouse in the country music industry. Lou has worked, and currently works, with some of the biggest names in country music. People like Blake Shelton, Cole Swindell, Cody Johnson, Dan + Shay, and more. He has been in the music industry for 20 years and as he has grown in his faith so has his mission to love people and share Jesus with them. Lou is leveraging everything he has to share the gospel in the country music world and to be a light in a place where the things of this world have a strong grip on most. And that is why I have dubbed him the "country music missionary".

Episode 52: Sit Down & Slow Down with Trey Thompson Apr 16, 2025

Show notes

Do you ever meet those people that have such a genuine love for life it oozes out of everything they do? That's Trey Thompson. For the past 10 years, his circumstances have not always been easy due to a journey with brain cancer, but yet he finds ways to be grateful, joyful, and in tune with what God has for him.

His story is one of endurance, hope, and a whole lot of sourdough. If you're in Jax, go support @thedailykneadjax (best sourdough I've ever had).

Episode 50: Don't Turn Your Heart Off with Michael and Ashley Olson Mar 19, 2025

Show notes

Do you feel like you live life so full and fast you barely have time for relationships that truly matter? Relationships like your spouse, kids, friends, etc. Like everyone is getting your leftovers?
This conversation is one that will surely inspire you back to that abiding place in whatever relationships you find yourself in. Michael and Ashley have walked through many seasons and continuing to show up for each other, their boys, and their community has proven to be the most worthy calling apart from pursuing Jesus with all they are made of.
