Everybody worries about the future — but what does the Bible actually say about it? In this episode of Truth Over the Noise, hosts Nathan Woltmann and Trey Cochran dig into anxiety, fear, and the "what's next?" questions that keep Gen Z (and everyone else) up at night.

Opening in Matthew 6 with Jesus' words from the Sermon on the Mount, Nathan and Trey unpack a key distinction: Jesus doesn't tell us to stop worrying entirely — He teaches us how to handle it. They talk honestly about their own worries, why anxiety was a "taboo" subject growing up, and why they're glad this generation can finally be open about mental health — while still pointing back to Scripture as the anchor.

Along the way they walk through the widow and the jars of oil in 2 Kings 4 as proof of God's provision, and land on Proverbs 3:5-6 — trusting God with all your heart instead of leaning on your own understanding. They also get real about prayer's three answers — yes, no, and the dreaded "not yet" — and Nathan shares a personal story of a year-long "wait" that finally opened the door to his career in radio.

This is Part 1 of a multi-part series. Next week they continue with the command not to worry about tomorrow, the power of prayer, and more real-life examples of how God moves.

In this special episode of Truth Over the Noise, host Nathan Woltmann shares his full testimony — much of it publicly for the first time. From accepting Christ at four years old at his family's kitchen table, to growing up as the son of a traveling evangelist doing schoolwork in the back of a van, Nathan opens up about a life shaped by both a rich Christian heritage and years of private struggle.

He's honest about the hard parts: a long, hidden battle with pornography, dating relationships pursued for the wrong reasons, and academic struggles that culminated in his college major being cut out from under him at Pensacola Christian College. Nathan walks through how God used mentors in radio, a humbling season of learning patience, and a full-circle journey back to the very station where it all began — leading to his role today as Network Director of TIL Radio Network.

Through every failure and detour, one theme holds it all together: the grace, mercy, and faithfulness of God. Nathan's message to anyone listening — especially those struggling with addiction or doubting their worth — is that no matter what you've done, God still has a purpose for your life, and finding an accountability partner can change everything.

In this special episode of Truth Over the Noise, co-host Trey Cochran shares his testimony — a story of being counted out again and again, and a God who never gave up on him. From a difficult pregnancy and a childhood illness where doctors wrote "failing to thrive," to a kindergarten teacher who said he'd never learn to read or write, Trey grew up hearing plenty of doubt. He answers all of it with the words his sister gave him: let your haters be your motivators.

Trey gets real about the difference between the prayer he prayed at six and truly accepting Christ at fourteen, his own long battle with lust and pornography, and the mentors who shaped him — especially youth minister Jason Arrington and a literal mountaintop moment of learning to trust God. He shares the loneliness of being single into his thirties, how a Bumble notification led him to his wife Amber, and the recent hard road of surgeries, grief, and losing his grandmother, a 93-year-old pillar of faith.

It's an honest, emotional look at doubt, addiction, friendship, brotherhood, and the faithfulness of God through it all — proof that the people who doubt you don't get the final word. Grab the tissues; this one's heartfelt.

Meet Nathan Woltmann and Trey Cochran — two Southern guys, longtime friends, and the hosts of Truth Over the Noise, a new podcast from TIL Radio Network. In this premiere episode, they lay out what this show is really about: giving Gen Z and young adults honest, biblical answers to the questions nobody else will shoot straight about.

Nathan and Trey explain why they started this podcast after more than a year of prayer and planning, and who it's for — the teens and twenty-somethings who've been handed easy answers like "God's got you" but wanted someone to be real with them instead. Their heart is to be the older brothers you wish you'd had: honest, direct, and 100% out of love.

You'll also get a preview of what's ahead — upcoming episodes tackling anxiety, depression, worrying about the future, and other struggles head-on from a biblical worldview, plus a series on church and world history and why it still matters today. They also share their vision for revival in the next generation and how you can send in your own topics and prayer requests.
