In this episode, we’re joined by Kristina Renee Wise, founder of Spiritual Healing Sisterhood, as she shares her powerful leap of faith.

Paul's Bio
Through serving in various forms of ministry for over two decades, Paul has realized the predominant theme has been cultivating authentic, accessible space to process God and life.
You can learn more about me through my profile, my podcast "Where did you see God", and at wheredidyouseeGod.com.
The "shepherding/pastoral" gifting gives Paul the unique ability to cultivate rich dialogue and process the difficult questions of life. While he has many stories to share of his own journey of learning who God is, who he is, and what that means for his life, he knows God can use any conversation to do "abundantly more" beyond simply telling his stories.
Paul enjoys sharing what it means to take crazy steps of faith, how to persevere through hardship, and how to hold firm to the belief that "God is God and God is good", no matter the circumstances.

“Abundance is about having a healthy heart and a healthy head...So that the fruits of the Spirit can operate and flow freely without us blocking it” ~Kevin Dupree
In this episode, we are honored to have Kevin Dupree as our special guest. Kevin shares his incredible journey of heeding God's call to relocate from Las Vegas to Detroit. He sheds light on his experiences during the waiting season, offering valuable insights that he gained along the way. Kevin also delves into the fresh revelation God gave him, giving us a deeper understanding of what it truly means to live an abundant life.

Guest Bio
Kevin was an educator in the Oklahoma City public school system for 7 years where he got the privilege of teaching and coaching inner-city students from diverse backgrounds. During this time, Kevin’s life was radically changed when he experienced one of the lowest and darkest times of his life that almost led to him overdosing on alcohol and prescription pills in his 2006 Nissan Altima outside of a grocery store.
After this moment Kevin realized that life was worth living and that he would seek to start living it ABUNDANTLY! Upon realizing his own need for a deeper sense of faith and hope for life, Kevin transitioned from the education system and into youth ministry to try and help students understand and develop a deeper sense of faith and hope for their own life that would lead to them also being able to live an abundant life.

Moses' encounter with God on the mountain is well-known, but what often goes unnoticed is his internal struggle with the task at hand. Many people can relate to feeling uncomfortable and resistant when called to do something that stretches them. However, obedience is key, even when we don't want to do what God is asking of us. Let's talk about some lessons we can learn from Moses journey.

"Watch and see where God is working and join him in his work.. " - Christopher Beth
How do you handle that unsettling feeling of needing to do more but not knowing how or what to do?
In today's episode, our guest Christopher Beth, founder of The Bucket Ministry, shares his journey of leaving a successful career in business consulting to dedicate his life to serving others and providing clean water. After a life-changing trip to the Brazilian Amazon, Christopher witnessed the devastating effects of unclean water and felt called to make a difference. He discovered a water filter that could provide clean water and also serve as a tool to introduce people to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Christopher and his team have since served over a million people and are committed to expanding their impact.
Christophers’s Bio
Christopher Beth is the Founder, Chief Storyteller and Director of The Bucket Ministry, a nonprofit organization that works to provide the love of Jesus and clean water solutions to communities in need around the world.
Prior to founding The Bucket Ministry, Christopher worked as a business consultant. He had no intentions to enter full-time ministry until he accompanied his then-high school daughter on a mission trip to the Brazilian Amazon in 2012.
While on the first stop on the Amazon River, Christopher witnessed the devastating effects of a lack of access to clean water on communities there when a woman asked him if he was thirsty. He watched her grab glasses, walk to the edge of the river and collect two dirty cups of water. Realizing he couldn’t drink this contaminated water, it was in this moment he heard the Lord say to him, “Help them.”
He returned home from the mission trip with a conviction to somehow merge the two great scarcities of God and water into one ministry. Thus, The Bucket Ministry was born.
Since founding The Bucket Ministry in 2015, Christopher has expanded the ministry’s work beyond the Amazon to actively evangelize and provide water filters to over 20 countries. The Bucket Ministry’s mission is to share God’s love through the gift of safe, clean, drinking water; and Christopher has every intention to realize that mission in every place lacking its spiritual and physical blessings.
He is a graduate of The University of Kansas and has been married to his wife Sheri for nearly 30 years. They live in a small town outside Dallas, Texas, and have two children, Savannah and Griffin, grandson Eli, granddaughter Hazel and a new one on the way.

"It was a difficult time because the boys weren't very receptive to it. They did not want to do it. We got to the point, once we had decided that we were moving, one of them decided they were going to ask around to see if somebody else would adopt them so they could stay. Wow, that was a tough, tough time." - Sam Sprunger
Sam's Bio
I am 43 years old, and live in NW Ohio. My wife, our 4 sons, and two basset hounds moved almost 2 years ago from NE Indiana, where I had lived my entire life. We are huge Chicago Cubs fans, and yes, the best day of our lives was November 2, 2016! : )
I have taught, online, for 4 years, and also have hosted a podcast for almost just as long! The 500 Section Lounge is the product of my wife telling me that I needed to socialize, after I started my online teaching. I decided that I loved to talk, so a podcast made a perfect fit, in my mind!
So, October 3, 2019, I started my podcast career. It worked out well, because that next March, we all knew the world came to a screeching halt. One thing that didn't stop was people were still willing, and had SO MUCH TIME, to do interviews!
I am the type of person who will talk to absolutely anyone, anywhere, anytime! I love conversing and finding out more about people! There are plenty of times that I will talk, upwards of 5 minutes, to the worker in the check-out line! If we have something to do, my wife will tell me that I can go get the car, so I don't make us late!
I just became a grandparent on October 12, 2022! I go by Pops! I didn't want to be grandpa... Pops was fitting for me! I love being Pops!
My wife and I love going to our boys' events. It's our "relaxation" time! We love seeing our boys performing.

How would you respond if He asked you to surrender your season of success?

“Your identity is established, your design is uncovered, and then your assignment gets revealed.” ~Matt Tommey
What happens when God calls you to walk away from something that is profitable and flourishing?
Our guest today, Matt Tommey, will share how God led him to shut down his company during a season of abundance and what he learned along that journey.

“There are people even now who struggle with the reality of, I'm not moving because I don't feel like I deserve to be given that.” ~Tonya Bailey
If you have ever felt this way, then you will enjoy today’s guest, Tonya Bailey, as she shares how her leap after retiring from the military allowed her to be a beacon of hope for her family and other women in ways she could have never imagined.
Tonya’s Bio:
Tonya Bailey Jones is a wife, mother, grand-mother, coach and transformational speaker. She is a retired Naval Officer with numerous awards and commendations. She graduated from University of Maryland-Baltimore with her bachelor's degree in Nursing and from Liberty University with her master's degree in Nursing education. With all these accolades and a successful career, you would think life was bliss for Tonya. However, it was anything but.
Tonya's professional success was birthed through decades of darkness, depression and despair and shrouded in shame and regret. When God gave Tonya the vision of speaking on stages, she
was excited and ready with thoughts of motivating women to rise to success from meager beginnings. However, that was not the assignment God had for her.
Through years of trepidation, apprehension and lots of self-discovery, Tonya is elated to now say she took the leap and is walking in God's calling for her life and moving at the pace of grace with God by her side.
As the creator and host of "Beauty Beyond the Ashes Podcast with Tonya B. Jones", she is reaching women throughout the world with the love of God. Known as "the lady with the soothing, compassionate voice who makes you want to lean in and chat," Tonya encourages women of faith to live beyond the guilt, shame and regret of their past choices and live in the fullness of who God created them to be.

What does it look like to obey God’s call to leap when everything in your world is interrupted by the cares of this world?
Our guest today will share how he drew closer to God during one of the most challenging seasons of his life and how his leap led him right where he needed to be.
On Saturday April, 29, 2023 Scott passed away from medical complications during his treatment. It is with his wife's permission that I share this podcast episode with you. Scott's legacy of having hope amid despair has left a beautiful imprint on my heart. He was known for his precious words ,"God's got this" and "God is in control." And his family declares that God still is.
Let's flood his Instagram page with words of encouragement for the family and please share how through this episode you learned the power of trusting God as you may be Navigating Life Interruptions.
Scott Boaman is an author, motivational speaker, life coach, seasoned business owner, and life-enhancer. He is involved with numerous ministry organizations and, along with his wife, Darlene, is also a pre-marriage facilitator at the church they attend, The Belonging Co.
Over the past twenty-five years, Scott has been involved with various ministry and charity organizations with a desire to serve and bless others while working to create a stable and secure future for his family. All seemed to be going well until he received an unexpected medical diagnosis of Stage 4 lung cancer. Within a matter of days, his future changed drastically, from one of normality to hopelessness and despair. While navigating this mind-altering news, God placed it heavily on his heart to use this life interruption as a vehicle to bless others experiencing various challenges and difficulties.
Through the struggle of navigating this difficult season in his life, Boaman has developed a oneness with God as he had never experienced before. God revealed methods and principles for him to have joy, peace, and comfort during this upheaval of life. Today, he uses his personal experiences to bring hope to the hopeless by moving towards oneness with God. He and his wife live in the Nashville area and have over thirty-seven years of living life together.

Balancing Motherhood and Your Calling in Ministry
Motherhood is a beautiful gift, yet we can easily begin to feel guilty if we feel called to do other things or step into other roles. As moms, we often need to be reminded that it's okay for us to function in our positional and missional responsibilities. Our positional responsibility is our role as a mom, while our missional responsibility is the calling outside the family. Sometimes they coexist and other times they are parallel to one another. Join this conversation with Jenn Uren and get equipped to live and leap.
Jenn is a mom of five kids and the host of This Mom Knows Podcast. Inspired by her love for home organization, she helps moms lean into what God has called them to do by creating a home that runs smoothly to support their mom-plus lifestyle. In this episode, she shares how understanding her positional and missional responsibilities allowed her to follow her calling and still show up as a mom without feeling guilty. She also shares how she balances her business, podcast, and family to keep their home running, and to have the physical and mental space to work on her passion projects.
If you feel overwhelmed by being the mom you were created to be giving the best to your family while trying to pursue your calling, this episode is for you.

When God gives you a vision, He doesn’t give it to a committee, he gives it to a single individual. However, fear of what others may think will often hinder us from making certain decisions, such as leaving a profitable high ranking job for a more community focused mission, moving to a new state, or taking care of a loved one. Join this conversation with James Rosseau as we discuss how and when to roll up your sleeves, go beyond your current position, and serve your purpose to the world.
James Rosseau is the Founder and CEO of The Corelink Solution, a non-profit that’s committed to empowering people to reach their potential. The organization delivers learning programs through the brand and faith-based media platform Holy Culture. His passion is to empower youth to understand, release, and maximize their potential.
James talks about how he chose not to be caught up in the demands of a corporate position to the detriment of his purpose. He explains that roles and positions are seasonal and the importance of not letting job titles or positions, which are temporary, stop us from serving our purpose, which is eternal. If you feel that God is calling you to do something courageous, this episode is for you.

● Roles and positions in a job are seasonal, but your purpose is permanent and eternal.
● You are a steward in a position for an appointed time. Leave it better than you found it when your departure time comes.
● The greatest enemy of our progress is the last success in a position or a job—people like clinging to their success and never moving forward.
● If your job is no longer providing an opportunity to learn, it may be the right time to move on to the next phase.
● When God gives you a vision, He does not give it to a committee. He gives it to a single individual.

When we take the time to reflect on the past season, we will often identify patterns of behavior we have or have picked up along the way. These patterns can be helpful or harmful depending on where they came from and how they are impacting our lives. As this year is coming to a close, it's time to look back at all the achievements, hurdles, and lessons learned in our personal, business, and spiritual lives and see how we can grow and learn from them.

Navigating Unwanted Pivots in Necessary Seasons
Pivots are moments in your life that are significant, challenging, or disruptive. You may have had a moment where you woke up one day and realized the past few years of your life hadn't been the best, and now you're ready to start doing things differently. There are other times when you feel things are going well and according to plan. And then suddenly, another season comes, with a different type of change, at a time you least expect. You may find yourself struggling because of this unwanted pivot or season, but how do you decide whether the path is God’s will? Join the conversation with Monet Carpenter as she shares with us about navigating unwanted pivots and necessary seasons in life, experiencing growth outside of the church community, and how to respond to God’s ideas that feel outside of our wheelhouse.
Monet lives in Alabama with her best friend and husband, Josh. Together they’re raising two kiddos in a house full of lots of noise, crumbs, and many baskets of clean but unfolded laundry. Monet lives the messy, unspoken parts of life openly to encourage other women that they, too, can embrace wholeness despite their brokenness. In 2021, Monet launched Purposed Box, a monthly subscription box business inspiring women to live “purposed” lives right where they are. Each month, she provides experiential and practical gifts that help the “everyday” women encounter Jesus daily. If you feel like God is calling you to take a leap or find yourself currently in the in-between season, then this episode is for you!

Pursuing Things For God Without Holding Back Truth with Billy Hallowell
We are living in a "filter bubble," an era with too much information, but it is our responsibility to be in search of truth. Almost everyone can get into media and create an impact, but it is easy to get jaded by all the information out there. As Christians recognizing that we have different outlets and being authentic in our message without withholding our truth is key. Although, we all have opinions and perspectives, most of us don’t hold onto our truth enough, especially when we feel something is weird and want to exclude it from our conversations out of fear of how we will be perceived if we talk about it.
“We need to talk about it all from a Christian lens and provide a resolution. We’re called to the truth, and it should always be the baseline for everything we do, whether it’s on social media, podcasting, blogging, or working in a media company” - Billy Hallowell.
Join the conversation with Billy Hallowell as he shares how he got involved in journalism, the struggle of wanting to pursue things for God but becoming distracted by pursuing things for himself, and how talking about taboo and difficult topics gives an opening to speak and give life into someone else's. Billy is a journalist, commentator, and digital TV host who has covered thousands of the biggest faith and culture stories. He has written over 14,000 stories on faith, culture, and politics, interviewed hundreds of celebrities, authors, and influencers, and is the author of four books. He is currently a journalist and host with CBN News and Faithwire and was formerly the director of content and communications at Pure Flix and the former faith and culture editor at TheBlaze. If you are curious about how you can look at life and advance through a faith lens, this episode is for you!

Today on the podcast Rachel will be chatting with Brandi Morris. She is a speaker, writer, blogger and founder of Light To Live By. She is also a mother to one 11 year old daughter who is full of personality and with whom she shares a love for music, theater and dance. Her mission in life is to lead women and girls into the full knowledge of the extravagant love the Father has for them. She believes our unique identities and experiences are all part of a divine conspiracy to lead us into the purpose we are created for.
Brandi shares with us how she felt a nudge from God early on that a move was on the horizon and how within 6 months she found herself making a major leap from her home of 16 years to an entirely new state. A leap that would challenge her faith, test her obedience and develop a saturated prayer life. If you are sensing a leap may be on the horizon and want to know how to manage the emotions, and resistance that you and your family may feel then this episode is for you.

Today Rachel is speaking with Amy Carroll. She is a speaker and writer with Proverbs 31 Ministries, a coach, and author of 3 books. She is also a wife to the man she’s loved madly for 30 years and a mother to two amazing sons. She feels that God is calling her to use her voice for Him in winsome, compelling ways, and she is still learning.
Amy shares with us how she entered into the writing world as a reluctant writer, submitted several book proposals that were rejected and the story behind her first book “Breaking Up with Perfect” and how perfectionism was the thing that almost kept her from making the leap in her life. A leap that would challenge her faith, test her obedience and develop a saturated prayer life. If you are sensing a leap may be on the horizon and want to know how to manage the emotions, and resistance that you and your family may feel then this episode is for you.

Today on the podcast Rachel will be chatting with Robin Jennings. He is an author, speaker, and teacher. As Rector of St. Francis in the Fields in Louisville, Kentucky, from 1983 until his retirement in 2014, Robin has years of experience encouraging countless churches and parishioners to cast a vision — to develop their personal life plans — equipping them with the tools necessary to participate in the divine nature of Jesus Christ. He evokes a deep level of participation, for the participation he engages Christians in is not about passively exercising one’s faith. Instead, Robin believes that when we participate in Jesus’s calling in our lives, we are energetic, involved, ever-changing and actively growing through our everyday, ordinary activities in life. He charges others to see the extraordinary revealed by the grace and knowledge found through our participation in the divine nature of the very real kingdom of God.

Today on the podcast Rachel will be chatting with Jason and Tori Benham. Jason and Tori Benham have been married for more than twenty years, own several businesses together, and are passionate about helping couples thrive in marriage. Their family hit the public stage in 2014 when Jason and his twin brother, David, were fired by HGTV for their public stand on Biblical values. Many consider the Benhams to be the "OG of Cancel Culture." Since that time, the brothers travel the country encouraging believers to stand strong for their faith, whatever the cost.
Jason and Tori grew closer to each other as a result of this very public fight. Their book, Beauty in Battle, chronicles their story and the practical ways the conflict that could've torn them apart actually drew them together.
Jason holds a Master's Degree in Christian Counseling and Tori is a certified Emotional Intelligence and Enneagram coach. They have been married for more than twenty years, have four children, and live in Charlotte, NC.
