Shayla Blaise says she should not be alive.

After going to the hospital because of severe fluid retention and rapid weight gain, an unexpected complication with an IV led doctors to discover a life-threatening aortic dissection. Shayla was told she needed emergency heart surgery, and she faced overwhelming odds against survival.

But Shayla says God healed more than her physical heart.

During her fight for survival, she believes God exposed a deeper wound connected to the rejection and abandonment she had experienced from her biological father. After choosing to forgive, Shayla says her father came from Florida to see her, their relationship began to heal, and her recovery took a remarkable turn.

This is an honest conversation about surviving the impossible, forgiveness, father wounds, church hurt, restoration, healing, and trusting God when the odds are against you.

What is a spiritual father—and is the concept actually biblical?

Apostle Don McClintock joins Tyler Redman for an honest conversation about spiritual fathers, mentoring, discipleship, healing from father wounds, and growing closer to God the Father.

Drawing from more than three decades of ministry, Apostle Don explains why healthy spiritual fathering is not about replacing God, but about helping people hear God's voice, discover their purpose, mature in their faith, and become everything God created them to be.

Whether you're searching for spiritual guidance or wondering if this biblical principle still applies today, this conversation offers practical wisdom for every believer.

At just 18 years old, David Bitok helped bring worship and the Gospel into public high schools through Encounter Night. After the first event drew approximately 300 people and the second drew approximately 400, David says the real challenge facing Gen Z isn't a lack of passion for Jesus—it's the need for discipleship.

David joins Tyler Redman for an honest conversation about finding faith for yourself, living differently as a Christian, reaching students where they are, surrendering your plans to God, picking up your cross daily, and why a worship experience must become a lifestyle.

From the story behind Encounter Night to David's powerful closing prayer for Gen Z, this conversation is about what can happen when one person is willing to say yes to God and take the next step of faith.

Whitney Wheeler once weighed 543 pounds, was taking 11 medications, and battled multiple addictions. After a frightening hospital visit left her believing she might die, she went home, cried out to God, and made a promise: if she woke up, she would tell her story to the world.

Whitney joins Tyler Redman for an honest conversation about losing more than 330 pounds and discovering that her greatest transformation went far beyond the number on the scale. She shares how faith, discipline, accountability, and surrender helped change her life—and why she believes deliverance can happen in a moment, but transformation still has to be walked out.

From overcoming addiction and serious health struggles to becoming The Anointed Coach, Whitney’s story is about what can happen when you yield your life to God and allow your testimony to become a way to help others find freedom.

Why do Christians need to come back to prayer?

Jershea Conley joins Tyler Redman for an honest conversation about building a genuine prayer life, finding faith for yourself, interceding for others, and learning to trust God when you cannot see the entire plan.

Jershea shares how growing up in church was not enough—she eventually had to discover who God was for herself. From finding deeper faith during the pandemic to moving away for college and trusting God through financial uncertainty, she explains how difficult seasons helped strengthen her relationship with God.

The conversation also explores why Christians should pray beyond their own needs, the importance of intercession, why testimony strengthens the faith of others, and the principle that private prayer produces public power.

Jershea also shares how faith influenced another major step in her life: starting her own business at just 20 years old and learning that sometimes following God means taking the risk before you know exactly how everything will work out.

Nataushia Burke came to Missouri with only 10 days of clothes and expected to return home after attending a church event.

She never went back.

Within days, Nataushia found a new job. Soon afterward, she found a place to live and began rebuilding her life in a state she never expected to call home.

In this episode, Nataushia joins Tyler Redman for an honest conversation about following God into the unknown, rebuilding after painful seasons, losing connection with faith during college, and finding her way back.

She also shares her journey from weighing over 500 pounds to becoming known online as the Seated Cardio Queen. After an injury changed the way she could exercise, Nataushia began creating accessible workouts for people of different sizes, fitness levels, and mobility abilities.

Nataushia also opens up about heartbreak, grief, abusive and unhealthy relationships, emotional walls, and learning to see herself differently. Her message is one she wishes she had understood years earlier: your weight does not determine your worth, and the number on the scale does not determine how much you matter.
