    Do You Like Who You Are Without What You Do? | EP178
    2026/11/05
    When was the last time you asked yourself whether you actually like who you are?

    Desiree and I started with a birthday conversation and somehow ended up talking about self-worth, the need to prove ourselves, wanting to be prioritized, and learning to recognize our value beyond what we do for other people.

    This one got personal for me, but maybe there's something in this conversation that will help you see yourself differently, too.

    2026/10/29
    What happens when your faith and your business feel like they're pulling you in different directions?

    Apostle Tonthalell Walters (General T) joins us to talk about discipleship beyond church walls, prayer that produces strategy, and the responsibility of building what God has entrusted to you.
    And somewhere along the way, this conversation became personal for me.

  • Who Are You Without Survival Mode? | FT Rebecca Boles | EP176

    Who Are You Without Survival Mode? | FT Rebecca Boles | EP176
    2026/10/22
    Rebecca "Royal" Boles joins us for a conversation about podcasting, heartbreak, transparency and the identity she built while trying to survive.
    Many people know her as Royal, but as Rebecca begins doing deeper healing work, she's confronting a difficult question: Was Royal who she became—or who she needed to become to protect Rebecca?
    We talk about validation, personas, sitting with yourself, returning to the parts of you you've avoided and allowing God to introduce you to who He created you to be.
    Who are you without survival mode?

  • Just Because It’s Good Doesn’t Mean It’s God | FT Kimberly N. Davis | EP175

    Just Because It’s Good Doesn’t Mean It’s God | FT Kimberly N. Davis | EP175
    2026/10/15
    Just because you’re good at something doesn’t automatically mean it’s your assignment.
    Kimberly N. Davis joins me for a conversation about discerning what God actually called you to do, knowing when something isn’t your lane, prophetic maturity and what it means to live as an image-bearer of Christ.
    Because sometimes obedience isn't starting another thing.
    Sometimes it's being willing to put down a good thing because God didn't tell you to carry it.

    Who Does God Say You Are? | FT JD Fomby | EP174
    2026/10/08
    JD Fomby is back, and this time we're talking about what happens when God completely changes the way you see yourself.

    After surviving a life-threatening accident, JD says he can no longer run from the calling he once struggled to fully accept. We get into identity, obedience, deconstruction, purpose, the cost of being used by God and learning to separate who God created you to be from the person life taught you to become.

    Who set your mind—and is that really you?

  • What If God Answers Your Prayer? | EP173

    What If God Answers Your Prayer? | EP173
    2026/10/01
    What happens when God actually says yes?
    Desiree and I are talking about Matthew 7, the meaning behind Jess Ask, fear of rejection, the weight of receiving what you've prayed for and the responsibility to act when God opens the door.

    I also share what happened when I asked God to make my career transition plain—and hours later, after nearly 10 years with my company, I was fired.
    Sometimes we're waiting for God to answer when He's waiting for us to respond to the answer He's already given.

  • I Think I'm Afraid of Being Famous | EP172

    I Think I'm Afraid of Being Famous | EP172
    2026/09/24
    Desiree called me famous—and I immediately rejected it. But the more we talked, the more I realized my discomfort with fame may have less to do with popularity and more to do with being seen.

    We're talking childhood rejection, fear of our past resurfacing, visibility, influence and what it means to steward being known when God increases your reach.

    Why You Keep Starting What You Can't Finish | FT Joy Pittman | EP171
    2026/09/17
    What if you're struggling to finish because you've been building from somebody else's blueprint?

    Joy Pittman joins us for a powerful conversation about Half-Built Houses, comparison, calling, spiritual gifts and the responsibility to steward what God has actually given YOU. And sometimes the half-built house isn't what you never started—it's what you completed but never carried to its intended purpose.

    Don't die a dreamer. Finish what God gave you to build.
