Episode 48: Jesus in a Strip Club with Tami Taunton Feb 19, 2025

Show notes

Yeah, you read that right. Tami Taunton, the founder of Hadassah's Hope, believes that all people should hear the good news of the gospel, and all people includes strippers. Each week, her ministry loves on girls in the clubs, leads bible studies, and even ministers to the bouncers and club owners.

Tami was your classic stay at home mom - loving her husband and raising babies unto the glory of God . Until one day, God blew all of that up and led Tami to start serving a group of people largely looked over or disregarded.

This conversation is inspiring and you may just find yourself bringing Jesus to a strip club near you.

Episode 47: From Prison to Pastor with Walker Day Feb 05, 2025

Show notes

From addict to jail to homeless to jail again to radically saved to cleaning toilets at the church to pastor, Walker Day’s story is one of darkness to light. His candid and authentic personality paired with his heart for the farthest, most broken people is magnetic. Woven through his story are countless lessons from the Lord and questions we all should wrestle through. This conversation will inspire you to go after whatever little thing God has put in front of you right now and to never miss an opportunity to love those people on the fringes.

Episode 46: Another Emergency Room Visit Jan 22, 2025

Show notes

Well, Caitlin and I are back with more ridiculousness than ever. Yes, I had another random injury with a trip to the ER and yes, now I have a good story. Yes, Caitlin has an ANCIENT iPhone and yes, we study an incredibly obscure passage of scripture and it's all just FUN. Also, this is a sneak peak of one of our Patreon episodes (aka what you could be getting more of every week)

Episode 45: Fighting Distraction with Ryan Britt Jan 08, 2025

Show notes

Today's guest is one of the smartest men in my life. Pastor Ryan Britt is the Executive Pastor of the Church of Eleven22. His giftings in leadership and teaching others how to lead well are a rare gift. We walk through SO many topics from the myth of self love, the Enemy's schemes to distract us from purpose, and how to lead and love well. This episode is so timely for the new year as it will give us handles and riverbanks as we set goals, make changes, etc. in order to stay Christ centered and mission focused.

To hear more from Pastor Britt, you can catch him on the Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin podcast weekly (he remains wiser than us all and does not have social media)

Episode 43: Are You an Overcomer? with Matt Chandler Dec 11, 2024

Show notes

In the past few years, has the world (or maybe your life) felt unstable, uncertain, or unsettled? Turns out, you aren't alone. This week we talk with Pastor Matt Chandler about his newest book, The Overcomers, and how the book of Revelation gives us so much hope and assurance in a broken and skeptical world.

Matt has the ability to peel back the layers of humanity and lay on the hope of Jesus in a way that is funny, relatable, and packed with hard hitting truths and wisdom. This is a conversation for anyone ready for a fresh wind of purpose and direction.

Episode 42: It's Hard Being Different with Joby and Reagan Martin Nov 27, 2024

Show notes

This week we were joined by an incredible father/daughter duo, Pastor Joby Martin and his daughter Reagan. Pastor Joby is the lead pastor at the Church of Eleven22 and just released his third book, Run Over by the Grace Train. Reagan just turned 15 and is navigating what it looks to be a believer in a secular world. Together, they give an honest look at the world we live in, the hope we cling to because of Jesus Christ, and how to do it all together.

Episode 41: Sometimes Life Just Hurts with Scott + Morgan Parks Nov 13, 2024

Show notes

We all face suffering. Whether it’s past, present, or coming. Suffering is a guarantee in the life of a Christian. Scott and Morgan Parks experienced a season of suffering and, amidst the hurt, decided to leverage it for the glory of God. We unpack their story of loss, their unique healing journeys - the good, the bad, and the ugly, and we talk about how God inspired their boutique as a platform to love other people walking through loss.

Our conversation is hard, but needed. If you’re hurting or you haven’t healed from past hurt, I hope you feel seen, loved, and encouraged today. I hope Jesus draws you into His healing wings and you find rest for your soul there. And don’t hurt alone.

Be sure to check out the Parks’ amazinggggg boutique: @shopteddyrose

Episode 40: There's A Demon On My Bathroom Counter Oct 30, 2024

Show notes

Welcome to the unfiltered wheel of topics – Caitlin talks very transparently about her journey with anxiety and the rollercoaster it’s been weaning off medication, we talk about the power of God on display in the book of Revelation, and what’s easy and hard in our lives right now. And then of course we cover trends were loving, the weird stuff Caitlin has in her bag at all times, and the disastrous cooking class we recently attended.
We laugh, we talk about recently crying, and we try and give you the real us. Our hope is you feel seen, you can laugh at yourself (or just at us), and you’re encouraged to keep pursuing Jesus.

Episode 39: I Want to Trust You, but I Don't with Lysa TerKeurst-Adams + Chaz Adams Oct 16, 2024

Show notes

The alternate title to this episode was "swipe right" because that's how Lysa and Chaz's love story started. This episode is FULL of gems. We get an inside look at why dating is hard, how to work through trust issues (we all have them), why doing the work on yourself is worth it, and what we can do to trust God when we just straight up don't feel like it.

Their love story will give you hope. It's a reminder that there is beauty after the pressing, my friend.

Lysa TerKeurst is a New York Times Bestseller Author, Speaker, and President of Proverbs 31 Ministries. She has written TONS of incredible books, but her newest one, I Want to Trust You, but I Don't, is a must read.

To follow along with Lysa, find her @lysaterkeurst
