  • Radical Trust: The Joy and Obedience of John the Baptist
    Mar 4 2026

    After reflecting on identity through King David and remembering who we are through Simba, we now turn to someone who never forgot.

    John the Baptist knew who he was.

    Before he ever preached, he leapt with joy in the womb at the presence of Jesus. Before the desert, before the crowds, before the prison — there was love. There was identity. There was trust.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • Radical trust in God’s plan • Obedience that looks uncomfortable but leads to joy • Friendship with Jesus rooted in humility • “He must increase, I must decrease” • And how to become comfortable with what once felt uncomfortable

    John’s life wasn’t safe. It wasn’t popular. It wasn’t easy.

    But it was full of joy.

    Because radical trust changes everything.

    If you’ve been wrestling with obedience, discomfort, or stepping into who God is calling you to be — this episode is for you.

  • Remember Who You Are: From King David To Simba (The Lion King)
    Feb 25 2026

    After reflecting on the life of King David — chosen, flawed, and deeply loved — we continue the journey in an unexpected place: The Lion King.

    What does a 1994 animated film have to do with Scripture?

    More than we think.

    In this episode, we explore the spiritual parallels between David and Simba — identity, exile, shame, calling, and the voice of the Father that never stops speaking.

    Both David and Simba forget who they are.

    Both must confront the lie.

    Both must return.

    And in both stories, identity was never lost — only forgotten.

    This conversation prepares the way for what comes next in our series: John the Baptist and the courage to fully embrace who God says we are.

    If you’ve been running… doubting… or living beneath your calling — this episode is a reminder:

    You are still the King’s child.

  • Train In Prayer, Fight In Faith: Lessons From King David
    Feb 18 2026

    Before David was a king, he was forgotten.

    Overlooked. Unseen. Not even considered worthy of being called in from the fields. Yet God saw what no one else could see.

    In this episode, we walk through the life of King David—the shepherd, the giant slayer, the fallen king, and the repentant warrior—to uncover what his story reveals about our own spiritual battles.

    We explore the pendulum of faith—the seasons where we feel close to God, the seasons where we drift, and the grace that never leaves us in either place. David’s life reminds us that faith is not about perfection, but about returning. His victories did not define him, and neither did his failures. His repentance did.

    We also dive into the giants we face today—the lies that tell us we are too much or never enough, the battles that test our identity, and the discouragement that tries to convince us to stop fighting. Through the powerful analogy of boxing, we reflect on how prayer is not passive—it is training. Training for every battle. Every hardship. Every giant.

    David’s life shows us that God does not choose the obvious. He chooses the willing. And even after failure, even after falling, David never stopped turning back.

    Whatever giant you are facing, this episode is a reminder: you are not alone in the fight. And through prayer, you are being trained for faith.
