What if your calling isn’t about doing more for God—but becoming who you already are in Him?

In this episode of Unleashed, Ryan sits down with Tamra Andress—author, speaker, publisher, and Kingdom entrepreneur—for a powerful conversation about identity, calling, and living from sonship instead of striving.

Tamra shares her journey through burnout, betrayal, and radical surrender, and unpacks the difference between doing for God and doing with God. Together, they explore how passion and pain often reveal calling, why “good opportunities” can still pull us off assignment, and how to discern true Kingdom fruit.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, return to intimacy with God, and step into who you were created to be—without hustle, performance, or pressure.

In this short but timely episode of the Unleashed Podcast, Ryan shares a personal word of encouragement as we step into a new year together.

Drawing from Song of Songs 2:11–13, this episode is for anyone who has felt like they’ve been in a long winter season—waiting for promises, dreams, or callings to finally begin to unfold. It’s a reminder that waiting doesn’t mean forgotten, and that God is bringing many into a new season of growth, visibility, and purpose.

As 2026 begins, this is an invitation to stop hiding, let your light shine, and respond to God’s call to arise and step into what He’s been cultivating beneath the surface.

This episode is deeply personal.

You’ll hear a conversation with my dad that originally aired on the Streams of Income podcast, my first show, and was later played at his funeral. His words are simple, steady, and powerful, shaped by a lifetime of faith, perseverance, and joy in the midst of hardship.

As we move out of Christmas and into a new season, this message is a reminder to rest in the Lord, hold on to hope, and live with an eternal perspective. I’m honored to share his voice with you on Unleashed, and I pray it encourages you right where you are.

What if God could use your business to reach people the church can’t?

In this episode of Unleashed, Ryan talks with Mike Baer, a pioneer in the Business as Mission (BAM) movement and host of the Business as Mission Podcast. Mike shares his journey from pastoring and church planting to discovering how business can open doors to the unreached—especially in regions closed to traditional missionaries.

You’ll hear how marketplace discipleship mirrors the early church, why business unlocks access in the 10/40 Window, and how believers can use their skills to make disciples, create jobs, and bring lasting impact around the world.

If you’re a business owner or entrepreneur who senses God wants to use your work for more than profit, this episode will expand your vision.

In this episode, entrepreneur and Kingdom leader Markus Kaulius takes us on a journey through his powerful story...from a painful, insecure childhood to becoming a confident, Spirit-led businessman. Markus shares the moment God rewrote his identity at 15, the years of building (and eventually selling) his global supplement company, and the lessons he’s learned about hearing God’s voice, following peace, and trusting God’s timing.

We also get into practical transformation: why Markus no longer relies on traditional goal-setting, and how daily habits, routines, and alignment with the Holy Spirit have shaped the man he’s becoming. He talks through the rhythms that anchor his days, the sermons and inputs that fuel his growth, and the mindset shifts that helped him stay the course.

This conversation weaves together identity, purpose, divine direction, and practical discipline... the kind of talk that refreshes your faith and sharpens your vision.

In this honest and hope-filled episode, Ryan opens up about his own struggles with traditional goal-setting—and why many believers feel defeated by the pressure to hit every target. Instead of fixating on rigid plans and SMART goals, Ryan shares a freeing approach rooted in intimacy with God, daily obedience, and open-handed surrender.

You’ll hear real stories from his own “foundation year,” unexpected pivots, divine connections, and how God often redirects our path toward something far bigger than what we could’ve planned. If you’ve ever looked back on a year feeling like you “didn’t do enough,” this conversation will encourage you, ground you, and remind you that God is at work in the unseen.

This episode is for anyone who wants to dream with God, release perfectionism, and step boldly into the new year with peace, clarity, and purpose.
