  • From Detroit Grit To Healing Hearts: A Nurse Practitioner’s Journey Through Autism, Adoption, And Purpose
    2025/10/21

    What if the hardest season of your life is the training ground for your calling? We sit down with Dr. Natasha Weems—a Detroit-born nurse practitioner, author, and nonprofit founder—whose story threads faith through crisis, turning pain into a blueprint for purpose. From a childhood split between grit and opportunity to a home steeped in Scripture, Natasha learned early that resources and role models shape outcomes. That clarity guided her into healthcare, and a near-fatal scare with her newborn sealed the vow to meet crisis with skill and compassion.

    Her journey deepened when her daughter was diagnosed on the autism spectrum. Natasha became a full-time advocate—navigating therapy, fighting for access, and celebrating breakthroughs at the Kaufman Center that unlocked speech and confidence. When marriage collapsed under stress, she chose ownership over bitterness, rebuilt her life, and later found love again with a partner who showed up to serve—learning meds, sharing appointments, and embracing a blended family. Tragedy struck her extended family, and two six-year-old twins—newly orphaned—needed a home. Adoption wasn’t theoretical anymore; it was obedience to care for orphans, paired with the realities of trauma, PTSD, and a foster system stretched thin.

    Along the way, Natasha advanced to a Doctor of Nursing Practice and carried prayer into clinical care, treating anxiety, depression, and spiritual exhaustion alongside physical needs. We unpack real tools for teen mental health, spotlight resources like Lisa Nichols’s Motivating the Teen Spirit camp, and challenge communities to build bridges between churches, nonprofits, and healthcare providers. Natasha’s book, The Unbreakable Woman, anchors every chapter in Scripture and practical habits—affirmations, mindset shifts, and advocacy that moves families from surviving to healing. Her Pearl Health Foundation extends that mission to autism awareness, caregiver support, veterans, and global outreach that tackles preventable illness.

    Listen for a rare blend of candor and courage—how to hold onto faith without denying reality, how to be unbreakable without becoming unfeeling, and how to turn your story into someone else’s survival guide.

  • Charlie Kirk’s legacy sparked a wave of bold witness, calling the Church to unity, courage, and everyday obedience online and off

    The internet is roaring with testimonies—and for once, it feels like hope is trending. We open our hearts about Charlie Kirk’s legacy and the unexpected revival pulse we’re seeing: churches overflowing, campus groups multiplying, and ordinary people finding the courage to say, “Here’s what Jesus did in my life.” Politics fades to the background as a sharper reality emerges—good versus evil—and we explore how love and truth, held together, can still break through a polarized world.

    We get practical about turning inspiration into action. Think simple devotion over performative religion: five minutes with Scripture, honest prayers, and everyday obedience that rewires your habits. We talk stewardship in real terms—being present for your family, faithful with what’s in your hands, and ready for more only when you can carry what you already have. We also share a clear plan to “hack the algorithm” the right way: flood the feeds with personal testimonies, unify across denominations, and amplify stories that carry the kindness of God. When thousands tell the truth about grace, the internet changes—and so do the people scrolling.

    This is a call for unity that builds, not burns. We challenge leaders to gather cities in prayer, bridge divides, and major on what we share in Christ. We share examples of compassion in tough conversations, reminders that kindness leads to repentance, and a strong conviction that the Church is most persuasive when it listens well and loves boldly. If you’re ready to step out of passive faith and into a living witness—online and off—join us. Subscribe, share this episode with a friend who needs courage, and tell us your testimony so we can help it reach the people who need it most.

  • God is breaking down walls between believers through worship and revival.
    2025/08/02

    Have you ever felt the disconnect between God's promises and your current circumstances? Joel Mott's faith journey might just restore your hope. From singing in Ohio farm fields to leading worship revivals on California beaches, Joel's story reveals what happens when ordinary believers refuse to give up on divine promises.

    In this deeply personal conversation, Joel shares the pivotal moment when God interrupted his directionless college years with a clear calling to worship ministry. Despite having minimal musical training, he embraced this unexpected purpose only to face crushing disappointment when his ministry dreams seemed to collapse. The emotional turning point came one night as he punched a fence in frustration, demanding answers from God about failed promises—a raw honesty that ultimately led to breakthrough.

    What emerged from this crisis was the "California Will Be Saved" movement, which has now reached 35 cities with a simple but powerful formula: worship Jesus publicly, proclaim the gospel boldly, and watch God move. Joel describes unforgettable beach gatherings where hundreds of strangers encountered Christ, with many being baptized in the ocean. The stories of transformation continue to multiply years later, with new disciples now raising up others.

    Our conversation reveals striking parallels between this modern worship movement and King David's establishment of continuous worship before the Ark of the Covenant—how prioritizing God's presence transformed ancient Israel and can do the same today. Joel emphasizes that true revival dissolves denominational walls as believers unite around the throne.

    For anyone struggling with purpose or questioning if God's promises will ever materialize, this episode offers a timely reminder: sometimes our greatest disappointments become the launching pad for God's most extraordinary work. The divine story is bigger than our setbacks, and persistence through testing seasons yields fruit beyond imagination.
