What if the harvest you’re praying for is directly connected to the seeds you’re planting right now?

In this episode of the Everyday Faith Podcast, we are joined again by John and Shannon Velsor for a rich conversation about harvest season, planting faithfully, and understanding God’s timing. Together, we explore why Scripture talks just as much about reaping as it does sowing—and why harvest is not a passive season, but one that requires preparation, diligence, and stewardship.

John and Shannon reflect on seasons of waiting, obedience, and unseen work, sharing how planting seeds of faithfulness, forgiveness, prayer, and trust prepares the soil for future fruit.

If you’re longing to see fruit in your life but aren’t sure how to remain faithful in the in-between, this episode will encourage you to keep planting, keep trusting, and be ready for the harvest God is growing beneath the surface.

What if the most painful season of your life is actually preparing you for something greater?

In this episode of the Everyday Faith Podcast, we welcome back John Velsor—this time with his wife, Shannon—for a powerful conversation about the cruciform life: living in full surrender to God with sacrificial love toward others.

Together, we unpack how sowing seeds of forgiveness, blessing, and faithfulness in a hard season can lead to a true “harvest” on the other side. You’ll hear stories of unexpected provision, encouragement, and the internal transformation that happens when you ask, “God, what are you doing in me?” — not just “Why is this happening to me?”

If you’re in a difficult season, waiting on God, or learning how to forgive and keep going when it hurts, this episode will remind you: what feels like punishment might actually be preparation—and resurrection can follow the cross.

Are you ready for a simpler, faith-filled approach to goal setting that actually leads to growth?

In today's episode, we share a practical, faith-based approach to annual goal setting that actually works. Building on our previous conversation last week about family purpose and guiding principles, we explain how to create SMART goals that align with who God has called you to be.

Instead of setting too many goals and burning out, we talk about why fewer, more intentional goals - rooted in purpose and lived out in community - lead to greater clarity, freedom, and long-term growth. If you’re tired of setting goals that don’t stick and want a better way to grow in your everyday faith, this episode will help you start strong and finish well.

What if the key to setting meaningful goals isn’t doing more – but first knowing who you are?

In this episode of the Everyday Faith Podcast, we're kicking off the year by flipping the traditional goal-setting conversation on its head. Instead of starting with resolutions and to-do lists, we invite listeners to begin with identity – who God has created you to be.

We walk through a simple but powerful framework for building family guiding principles, grounded in faith and Scripture. You’ll hear how defining a God-given purpose, clear guiding principles, and a daily goal can bring alignment, clarity, and consistency to everyday life – whether you’re single, married, or raising a family.

This episode is a helpful starting point for anyone who wants to set goals that actually reflect their faith – and live them out every day. Listen to find out how!

What does it really mean to live a cross-shaped life when obedience costs more than you expected?

Sitting back down with John Velsor - senior pastor, leadership coach, and passionate advocate for transformation in families and leaders - we dive deeper into the pillars of belief and obedience through one of John’s personal seasons.

John shares how a painful season of betrayal led to anxiety, panic attacks, and what he describes as a “dark night of the soul”. But in the middle of the chaos, God met him with a deeper invitation: to live the cruciform life, shaped by the cross—hands surrendered to God and arms open in sacrificial love toward others.

Together, we talk about why pursuing the right community matters, how to return to your “base” when you get blindsided, and why the turning point in healing often comes when you can not only forgive—but bless the people who wounded you.

If you’re in a hard season and wondering where God is in it—or what obedience looks like when it costs you—this conversation will strengthen your faith and remind you: the dark night may not be an interruption… it might be an invitation.

What if real growth doesn’t come from avoiding hardship, but from learning to walk through it with Jesus?

This week we’re chatting with John Velsor, senior pastor in Minnesota and founder of Kingdom Leadership. John shares his powerful redemption story—from growing up in church, to running hard into addiction, to a life-changing encounter with Jesus that met him at his lowest point and changed everything.

John unpacks what it means to live a cruciform life—a life shaped by the cross. Discussing belief, obedience, and why following Jesus doesn’t remove hardship, but teaches us how to endure it and grow through it. You’ll hear why comfort can be the enemy of growth, how obedience positions us for resurrection power, and why miracles often begin with problems we’d rather avoid.

Sitting back down this week with Heidi Mortenson – licensed marriage & family therapist, speaker, author, and host of the Strong Tower Mental Health Podcast – we continue exploring what it means to live from identity rather than performance.

Together, we talk about how lies form strongholds, how inner vows develop, and why renewing our minds with truth is essential for real freedom. Heidi also explains the power of our words – how what we speak flows from the heart and affects our relationships, our habits, and our walk with God.

This episode ends with a powerful, guided time of prayer, breaking common lies and declaring truth in Jesus’ name - you won’t want to miss it!
