I’m Not Who I Was: A Man’s Journey from Porn Star to Preacher with author, speaker, and hope dealer, Joshua Broome, Ep. 168 Apr 09, 2024

Show notes

We all have a choice in life: to see through the lies or to believe them. And one of the greatest lies so many tend to believe is that their past disqualifies or defines them. So many find themselves stuck in the bondage and grip of shame, guilt, and condemnation attached to past decisions or mistakes. However, 1 Corinthians 6:11 reminds us, “and that is what some of you were. - But you’ve been washed, you’ve been sanctified, you’ve been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” In other words my friends, we all have a common past - we come from a heritage of darkness - but because of the goodness and grace of God we can be brought from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light. Joining us today is Joshua Broome, a former adult film star who embarked on a life-changing journey to fill the void in his heart. Despite fame and success, Joshua found emptiness. Battling depression and thoughts of self harm, he discovered the transformative power of Jesus. Now, he shares his story of redemption on podcasts, TV shows, and stages, spreading God's message of restoration all over the world. With a BS in Christian Ministries, Joshua and his wife, Hope, have been married for seven years, raising their four sons in Dallas, Texas. Our prayer is that through today’s conversation you would remember this truth - no matter what you have done or what has happened to you, the love of Jesus Christ stands ready to change your future.

Stay Here: Uncovering God's Plan to Restore Your Mental Health with author, preacher, Christian content creator, and the founder of the mental health organization Stay Here, Jacob Coyne, Ep. 167 Apr 02, 2024

Show notes

Every forty seconds, someone takes his or her own life. Anxiety, depression, and suicide are at all-time highs--and they're stealing our sons, daughters, friends, and spouses. But that’s why our guest joining us today wants you to hear these words - Please stay. The world is so much better with you in it. With tender passion and bold hope, our guest today - author, preacher, Christian content creator, and the founder of a mental health organization called Stay Here - Jacob Coyne, wants to use this conversation to infuse life into the dark corners of mental health. Giving hurting souls a reason to live, he shows not only how Jesus brings life to the full, but also how anyone--regardless of their past or pain--can find healing, including how to attack our anxiety and calm our storms; defeat depression and live with a sound mind; overcome intrusive suicidal thoughts and enjoy life; and transform pain, trauma, suicidal thoughts, and addictions into purpose. Remember, it's okay to not be okay--but you don't have to stay that way. It's time to shine the hope of Christ into the darkness and witness His love transform broken souls into living, breathing signs to live.

If the Tomb is Empty, Anything is Possible with founding and lead pastor of The Church of Eleven22, Joby Martin, Ep. 166 Mar 26, 2024

Show notes

As we navigate our way through Holy Week and approach the observance and celebration of Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday, we wanted to share a powerful conversation that we believe could be transformational in your life. Our guest today puts it best by stating, “The Son of God was crucified, died, and buried, and He lay in the tomb for three days—until He walked out shining like the sun. In a culture in which history is erased or rewritten at will, the existence of an empty tomb matters. Why? Because if the tomb is empty, anything is possible.” Joining us today to help us reflect on and observe these life changing events is the founding and lead pastor of The Church of Eleven22, Joby Martin. In today’s conversation we will be simultaneously unpacking Joby’s 2 books, “If the Tomb is Empty” and “Anything is Possible.” Our prayer through this conversation is that your heart would be open and receptive to the message that God has prepared for you today, and that you would be challenged to answer this question: Who is Jesus to you? Because we believe this, your answer to that question has the power to change everything! My friends, He is Risen, He is Risen indeed!

The Future of Soul Care: How Technology & A.I. are Being Used to Strengthen the Church with Chief Solutions Officer at Gloo and a Pioneering Leader in Church Technology, Brad Hill, Ep. 165 Mar 19, 2024

Show notes

People are searching for help, hope, and encouragement now more than ever. With the influx of mental health issues riddling our country today, people are struggling to find solutions to their problems. And think about it, where do most people go when they have questions and seek a quick answer in today’s culture and society? You guessed it - ‘Dr. Google.’ However, one thing we know is that those answers may not always be accurate or the most faith focused, which leads to so many people within the church forming negative views of things such as technology and artificial intelligence. But that sparks the question and frames our conversation today: Can technology and artificial intelligence be used in a way that helps strengthen and develop the church rather than tearing it apart? And what is the Church doing to address the challenges facing today’s generations?

Thankfully, our guest today, Brad Hill, is a man who has been deeply involved in solving technology challenges for the church for over 20 years. Brad serves on the executive team at Gloo, which is known for being the trusted platform that releases the collective might for the church, and he is responsible for marketing, sales, success, and all facets of growing and serving Gloo’s network of churches, networks, and faith partners. Prior to Gloo, our guest co-founded Ministry Brands, which is the world's largest church/ministry technology company. As President, he completed over 40+ roll-up acquisitions and led the company to win Private Equity deal of the year for 2017. In addition to his experience starting, building, and coaching companies for Kingdom and business impact, Brad has also served in lay leadership at several churches across multiple denominations, and he currently lives in the Denver, CO area with his wife and two kids.

Our prayer throughout today’s podcast is two-fold: (1) if you are a person who is exploring online for help, you are not alone. There are people doing everything in their power to provide you with best resources possible to navigate in these challenging, often overwhelming times. (2) To affirm those who are skeptical of technology and A.I. to understand that although many use those things to do a world of bad, there are some people today using tech to do a world of good! Pray that God would continue to lead the way and guide their skill sets to do His work so that His will would be done.

Suffering Well: Finding Hope in the Midst of the Deepest & Darkest Moments of Life with Best-Selling Author, Speaker, and Renowned Psychiatrist, Dr. Curt Thompson, Ep. 163 Mar 05, 2024

Show notes

We all know that storms, challenges, and adversities are a part of this life which then sparks the question, in the face of personal and global suffering, is it possible to live with hope rather than despair? Joining us today to help us answer that question is a dear friend of ours here at the AACC - Best-Selling Author, Speaker, and Renowned Psychiatrist, Dr. Curt Thompson. In and throughout today’s conversation we will be unpacking Dr. Curt’s newest book, “The Deepest Place: Suffering and the Formation of Hope.” As we explore the Apostle Paul's experience of love, secure attachment, and the deeply felt sense of God's abiding presence carrying him through the challenges he faced—we pray that you too would recognize that God can transform your grief into a lasting peace that surpasses all understanding and how that reality can help us not just survive, but flourish and find security in the presence of our suffering.

The Gift of Marriage: Learning to Live, Love, and Lead Together with Renowned Speaker, Hope Dealer, & Harris Creek Baptist Church Young Adult’s Pastor, Grant Troutt & His Wife, Best-selling author, Renowned Speaker, and Social Media Influencer, Madi Prewe Feb 27, 2024

Show notes

As we’ve discussed all throughout this month, love and relationships can be challenging and take a lot of time, attention, sacrifice, and intentionality. Therefore, as we wrap up the month of February and really this entire ‘What Is Love’ series, we thought there were no better guests than bringing on a power couple who love Jesus as well as live, love, and lead others so well. Joining us again today is my dear friend - renowned speaker, hope dealer, & Harris Creek Baptist Church Young Adult’s Pastor, Grant Troutt accompanied by his bride - best-selling author, renowned speaker, and social media influencer, Madi Prewett Troutt. What I love about these two is that although God has entrusted them with an incredible platform that has a lot of influence, it’s evident that they are full of grace, humility, and find no greater joy than deflecting the honor and glory onto the Lord Himself. And what I love about today’s conversation is that it truly is for everyone as we’re going to be talking about how we can find true joy and satisfaction no matter the season and no matter your relationship status, as well as diving deep into the gift of marriage and reflecting on some strategies that can help couples love well or even turn their love around. We pray this would be a conversation that would be transformative in your life and those closest to you.

False Lovers: Overcoming the Grip of Sexual Sin, Addiction, and Shame with Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Sex Addiction Therapist, and Certified Partner Trauma Therapist, Jim Cress, Ep. 161 Feb 20, 2024

Show notes

There’s no question that sexual sin is something that many struggle with at some point throughout their life. Pornography, premarital sex, extra-marital affairs - they have unfortunately and heart breakingly become too common in our culture and society today. A recent statistic recently projected over 30 million people struggle with problematic sexual behavior, if not addiction - and another stat revealed that over 10 million youth and adolescents regularly view pornography online. Now we understand this is a sensitive topic, but one that needs to be further discussed if we are going to experience freedom from it’s bondage in order to expose this darkness into the light. Joining us today to help us develop a better understanding as to this death trap of a cycle related to sexual sin, shame, and addiction is a man who understands its grip and the path to recovery and sobriety. Today’s guest is renowned faith-based Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), Certified Partner Trauma Therapist (CPTT), as well as a man who serves on the Executive Advisory Board here for us at the AACC, Jim Cress. In knowing that the internet has really become the “crack cocaine” for sex addiction, as it allows individuals to remain anonymous, as well as being easily accessible and affordable, we need to continually educate, equip, and encourage individuals as to how they can stay alert and fight back from the strongholds of sin. Our prayer is that this episode would help you find and anchor yourself in the hope of Christ as you begin or continue on a path of healing.

Healthy People Make Healthy Relationships with Best-Selling Author, Speaker, Podcaster, and Licensed Professional Counselor, Debra Fileta, Ep. 160 Feb 13, 2024

Show notes

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, love and relationships are a hot topic of conversation. Therefore, today we wanted to re-air a conversation with an expert in our space to hopefully help you identify some healthy habits we can begin implementing within our daily lives to cultivate the love we so desperately seek. Joining us again today is a Licensed Professional Counselor and nationally acclaimed speaker who specializes in relationship and marital issues as well as mental and emotional health, Debra Fileta. Debra is also the author of six books and host of the Love + Relationships Podcast where she is passionate about spreading the message that healthy people make healthy relationships. The truth is, we all have the innate longing or craving to be loved, to be accepted, or to feel like we belong, but unfortunately too many of us get into relationships for all the wrong reasons. However, as Debra reminds us today, we can’t come to the table “half-full”, expecting someone or something else to fill, fix, or complete us. We need to be the one’s taking our burdens, pasts, and toxic patterns to the Lord as well as implementing the steps necessary to cultivate healthy habits which generate healthy relationships. No matter what your relationship status says, this episode will remind, challenge, and push you to keep looking upward and inward before looking outward.

People Fuel: Filling Your Tank for Life, Love, and Leadership with renowned business consultant, leadership coach, best-selling author, & psychologist, Dr. John Townsend, Ep. 159 Feb 06, 2024

Show notes

There’s no question that your environment impacts your experience. The people you surround yourself with will influence the trajectory of your life. Who are those people in your life? Are they constructive or destructive? Do they push you closer to your goals or pull you further away? Do they motivate you to become your best, or allow you to settle for less? Thankfully, today as we reflect on some of these questions, we will be guided by a renowned business consultant, leadership coach, best-selling author, and psychologist who knows the power of relationships, Dr. John Townsend. In today’s conversation we’ll be unpacking his newest book, People Fuel, as we learn how we can fill our tanks for life, love, and leadership. As Dr. Townsend will remind us, our bodies require physical nutrients to stay healthy. If we don't take enough iron, we can develop anemia. Too little calcium can lead to bone disease. In the same way, John identifies the key Relational Nutrients that we need as well. As we experience these critical elements from others, we grow mentally and emotionally more sharp and healthy. And as we give these elements back, others benefit as well. So buckle up and get ready for an incredible conversation as the person who taught you how to have boundaries now helps you to experience the best from those people you have allowed into your boundaries.
