  • 1st Anniversary Celebration

    1st Anniversary Celebration
    Jun 3 2026
    Can you believe it’s been a full year? Over the past 52 weeks of navigating crazy, unbelievable faith, Brian and Kersha have realized that while time flies when you're having fun, stepping in front of a camera to be raw, vulnerable, and messy is a journey of its own. From tech glitches with Pilot Jerry to cell phone alarms randomly going off from 2018, this milestone reflection proves that nobody has it completely put together—and that's exactly how God likes it. Brian and Kersha look back at a year of radical growth, unexpected detours, and the life-changing shift that occurred during their trip to Puerto Rico with John Maxwell. They unpack the deep realities of what it means to stay consistent when you'd rather wave the white flag, reminding us that God doesn't call the qualified; He qualifies the surrendered. It’s a raw celebration of the fact that if God carried you through this past season, He isn't about to abandon you in the next.🔥 What You'll LearnThe three definitive lessons learned after 52 consecutive weeks of showing up to record a faith podcastWhy the things we expect to be massive hurdles often turn out simple, while the "easy" things stretch us the mostThe reality of behind-the-scenes production and the discipline required to build family consistencyWhy people universally love the idea of bold faith right up until it demands bold, uncomfortable obedienceHow to stop obsessing over a perfect, flawless script and embrace the raw, authentic value of making a messThe incredible trajectory shift that can happen to your entire life through a single, open-door connectionWhat it truly looks like to step out of a spouse's shadow to confidently claim your own seat at the tableWhy faith is inherently inconvenient and why no one in the history of scripture ever received a comfortable callingWhy your personal weakness will never disqualify you from God's ultimate plan, but your unwillingness willHow to pivot from a culture that screams "follow your heart" to a lifestyle that values spiritual supervision💬 Memorable Quotes"Faith is usually inconvenient. Nobody in scripture got a comfortable calling.""This year we discovered people love bold faith until bold faith requires bold obedience.""God rarely calls the qualified people. He qualifies the surrendered people.""God has sustained this podcast longer than most people sustain a New Year's resolution.""God is faithful. Humans are—Humans are messy. That is for sure.""Most bad decisions begin with the phrase, 'Watch this.'""If God carried you through this year, He's not going to abandon you next year or next season.""Some of us didn't need another motivational quote this year. We needed repentance and a nap.""We're not qualified, we're just surrendered.""Your weakness does not disqualify you. Your unwillingness might.""Obedience beats feelings.""Following Jesus is still the wildest adventure on Earth."🛑 Reflect + ApplyThis week's challenge:Reflect on this past year: what is one specific prayer that you completely stopped praying because the breakthrough didn't happen fast enough?Look closely at your life over the last 12 months—where did fear win, and where did God's grace completely surprise you?Is your heart running wild without proper supervision? What practical steps can you take today to prioritize obedience over shifting feelings?What hidden, unexpected field is God clearing for you right now while you are busy looking for fruit in an old harvest?📖 Scripture FocusJoshua 1:9 — "Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Not just where you plan, map out, or over-spiritualize, but wherever you actually move.Genesis 12:1 — "Go from your country... to the land I will show you." A clear reminder that Abraham had to practice bold obedience and step out before receiving geographic clarity.Matthew 14:29 — "Peter got down out of the boat." Showing the distinct difference between the 11 disciples who chose comfort and the one who chose the wild adventure of water-walking.Romans 5:8 — "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." The ultimate blueprint of love and leadership established by a Savior who was willing to go first before we had it together.Proverbs 24:16 — "For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again." A beautiful testament that a year of messy human slip-ups can still be firmly anchored by God's sustaining grace.🙌 Join the MovementKnow someone who needs a reminder of God's year-long faithfulness?

  • The Value of Going First

    The Value of Going First
    May 27 2026
    Ever felt like you’re waiting on a green light from God, but the truth is He’s actually waiting on you? We love the reward and accolades of a breakthrough, but almost nobody volunteers to step out first and risk looking foolish. At some point, staying safe isn't wisdom—it’s just overthinking masquerading as a backup plan while you watch from the sidelines.Brian and Kirsha unpack why going first is the ultimate catalyst for fast growth in your life, your marriage, and your calling. From Abraham's map-less journey to checkout line etiquette and Kirsha’s reality check as a traveling salesman's wife, this episode is a raw look at what it takes to break out of the "bystander effect." It’s time to stop over-spiritualizing your hesitation, drop the awkward turtle defenses, and find out what happens when you finally get out of the boat.🔥 What You'll LearnHow to distinguish between an intentional season of waiting and simply paralyzing yourself with overthinkingWhy fear of judgment and rejection keeps 98% of people safely hidden away in their comfort zonesThe secret to moving out of your partner’s shadow to claim a bold, active partnership in your marriageWhy your next big breakthrough is directly tied to your willingness to go first and initiate the connectionHow modern distractions like keeping your earbuds in at the checkout line are killing everyday chivalryThe profound relationship between faith and momentum, and why obedience always precedes clarityWhat Peter and the 11 silent disciples teach us about the dynamic of stepping onto the waterHow the entire layout of the Gospel hinges on Jesus choosing to move toward the cross firstWhy playing it safe is an invisible path to slow regret while taking the leap triggers fast growthHow to stop using "let me pray on that" as a religious disguise to keep your life parked in neutral💬 Memorable Quotes "Some of us aren't waiting on God, God's waiting on us to stop overthinking it." "I didn't want to be one of the 11 disciples sitting in the boat while my husband's out walking on water." "You can't walk on water if you won't get out of the boat." "Obedience often comes before clarity." "What if the thing you're waiting on is actually waiting on you?" "Inaction breeds doubt and fear, but action breeds confidence and courage." "We act our way into feeling, we don't feel our way into acting." "Sometimes the riskiest thing you can do is to play it safe." "Playing it safe is slow regret. Going first equals fast growth." "If you're waiting on everything to feel safe, you might be waiting a very long time." "If you move today, what might God do tomorrow?" "Crazy faith begins where excuses end."🛑 Reflect + Apply This week's challenge:Where is God asking you to go first right now, but you keep hesitating or asking for more details?Are you currently hiding behind the excuse of being an introvert instead of stepping out into your community?Look at your day-to-day habits: where are you prioritizing comfort and predictability over radical obedience?What is one specific phone call, email, or apology you can initiate today if you completely cast out the fear of failure?📖 Scripture FocusJoshua 1:9 — "Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Not wherever you plan or overthink, but wherever you actually move.Genesis 12:1 — "Go from your country... to the land I will show you." Abraham teaches us that the destination reveals itself only after the departure.Matthew 14:29 — "Peter got down out of the boat and walked on the water." Proof that experiencing the miraculous requires leaving the safety of the crowd.Romans 5:8 — "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." The foundational blueprint of love is set by a Savior who initiated the rescue first.James 2:17 — "Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." A reminder that true belief cannot remain stationary in a vacant parking lot.🙌 Join the Movement Know someone who's stuck in a pattern of hesitation? Send this episode to them.

  • Faith Under Fire: When Life Gets Hot, What's Left Standing?

    Faith Under Fire: When Life Gets Hot, What's Left Standing?
    May 20 2026
    Ever felt like God has hit the "do not disturb" button right when your life is hitting a boiling point? We love faith when it works fast, but real faith shows up when nothing makes sense and the silence feels completely deafening. But what if the fire you are walking through isn't actually your problem? What if the heat is simply revealing what's real?Brian and Kirscha dive into what it truly means to hold onto faith under fire, exploring how unshakeable trust is formed like a diamond through heat, pressure, and time. In this episode, they challenge our "microwave miracle" culture, share a monumental personal breakthrough regarding their daughter Kenley’s 12-year journey, and remind us that divine silence is never divine absence. It's time to stop waiting for convenience and start trusting God before the rescue even happens.🔥 What You'll LearnWhy your faith isn't proven when God rescues you, but when you trust Him before He moves on the back endWhy the fire you are walking through isn't the problem—it’s the ultimate revealer of authentic faithWhat Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego teach us about standing resolute even if God doesn't rescue usThe danger of chasing "microwave miracles" in a low-and-slow spiritual processing societyWhy divine silence doesn't mean abandonment, and how to stop assuming God has snoozed your crisisHow to navigate the confusing "spaghetti noodle bowl" of your own overthinking and stay aligned with truthThe divine physics of spiritual diamonds: how heat, pressure, and time formulate unbreakable trustWhy God isn't trying to burn you down, but is intentionally burning off what can't go where He is taking youHow to honestly evaluate your walk and recognize if your faith is real or just a matter of convenienceThe power of quiet perseverance through the lens of Kenley's miraculous vision therapy milestone💬 Memorable Quotes"Your faith isn't proven when God rescues you. Your faith is proven when you trust Him before He does anything on the back end.""If we all knew that God would rescue us if we jumped into a burning pit, we would all do it just to feel that rush of faith.""Real faith, that's the faith that shows up when nothing makes sense.""Faith under fire isn't cute, it's uncomfortable. It's actually quiet.""Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego said, 'He can. Even if He doesn't, we are not going to bow.'""The fire is not really the problem. The fire reveals what's real.""Nothing will mess with your faith more than watching Jesus take a nap in your crisis.""You get caught up in your own head, like your head is the spaghetti noodle.""We may not be hearing from God, but He hasn't lost track of us.""God isn't trying to burn you down. He's burning off what can't go where He's taking you.""If your faith only works when life works, is it really faith or is it convenience?""When the fire hits, you don't need more control, you need deeper trust."🛑 Reflect + ApplyThis week's challenge:Are you trusting God only for a rescue, or are you willing to praise Him even if He doesn't change your current circumstances?Where are you letting the "spaghetti bowl" of your own overthinking distract you from the singular strand of God's truth?What area of your life—finances, marriage, health, or family—is currently under the intense pressure and heat of a refining fire?Who can you reach out to in your community this week to share your heavy journey with or offer a word of encouragement?📖 Scripture FocusDaniel 3:17-18 — "He can. Even if He doesn't, we are not going to bow." Resolute faith in the midst of a literal furnace.Mark 4:38-40 — "Jesus is lying in the bottom of the boat asleep peacefully." Facing the storm when it looks like God is napping.James 1:2 — "Consider it pure joy whenever you face trials." Understanding that testing produces steadfastness and character.Habakkuk 3:17-18 — "Though the fig tree does not bud... yet I will rejoice in the Lord." Choosing real faith over convenience.Mark 9:24 — "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!" Navigating the silent spaces while crying out for alignment with His character.🙌 Join the MovementKnow someone who's walking through a heavy trial? Send this episode to them.
