Nick spent years trying to outrun the pain in his life until addiction took nearly everything—his marriage, his family, his home, and eventually any sense that there was a way back. At one point, he made a decision to stop fighting and simply “burn it all to the ground.” But in the wreckage, something unexpected happened: God met him there. In this raw and deeply personal conversation, Nick shares how recovery led him from simply knowing about God to developing a real relationship with Him—one built on surrender, honesty, grace, and daily connection. His story is a powerful reminder that we do not have to clean ourselves up before we come to God. Sometimes the first step is simply turning toward Him.

We spend so much of life trying to define ourselves by our roles, careers, relationships, successes, failures, and the opinions of others. But what if the deeper question isn’t “Who am I?” but “Whose am I?” In this episode, Scott and Deb explore what it means to find our deepest identity in belonging to God. Through Scripture, personal experiences, and the reminder that our worst moments don’t get naming rights over our lives, they invite us to stop looking outward for our worth and instead Look To Him—the One who already knows us, loves us, and calls us His. He call us His because WE ARE HIS!

What if miracles aren’t nearly as rare as we think—what if we’re simply missing them? In this episode, Scott and Deb explore what happens when we stop looking only for the spectacular and begin recognizing God in the everyday: a changed heart, unexpected strength, peace before the problem disappears, the right person at the right time, and even our own inadequacy placed in the hands of Jesus. Through scripture and personal experiences, they discover that gratitude can give us new eyes to see how often God has already been present. Maybe we don’t need more miracles to believe He is near. Maybe we simply need to Look To Him and recognize the miracles that have been there all along.

“Blessed are the meek” may be one of Jesus Christ’s most misunderstood teachings. Meekness is not timidity, silence, or allowing others to control us—it is strength that has become responsive to God. In this episode, Scott and Deb explore the Hebrew meaning behind meekness, its connection to Psalm 37 and Step Three of recovery, and the difference between surrendering our will and becoming passive. Through honest reflections on pride, anger, control, relationships, and horse training, they consider what changes when we stop trying to force every outcome and trust that the care of God is safer than our control.

Heidi Neilson’s life appeared to fall apart overnight when she lost her marriage, home, financial security, and the future she thought she had built. In the middle of grief, betrayal, fear, and uncertainty, Heidi discovered that Jesus was not waiting for her on the other side of the hardship—He was already beside her in it. In this honest and hope-filled conversation, Heidi shares how her faith moved from checking religious boxes to intentionally checking in with Jesus, one prayer, one promise, and sometimes one minute at a time.

Grief is not limited to the death of someone we love. We can mourn a broken relationship, lost trust, declining health, years taken by addiction, a child who has grown distant, the parent we hoped to be or a future that never happened. In this deeply personal conversation, Scott and Deb explore the losses that come without funerals—and why we often feel guilty for grieving them. Jesus never tells us to deny our pain or hurry through it. He invites us to name what hurts, bring it honestly to Him and receive the comfort that comes when we no longer carry it alone as we Look To Him.

Ray Kimbrell thought his life’s calling was clear: lead Marines, serve his country, and stay the course. But when his newborn son Patrick nearly died, his wife Nancy suffered a stroke, and Patrick was later diagnosed with cerebral palsy, Ray’s life took a turn he never planned. In this deeply personal conversation, Scott and Deb sit down with Ray—Scott’s longtime friend and brother in every meaningful sense—to talk about faith under fire, the grief of letting go of one dream, and the sacred discovery that God had not abandoned the plan. He was revealing a greater one. Through Patrick’s joy, courage, humor, and Christlike love, Ray learned that sometimes the life we never expected becomes the place where we finally recognize Him.

What happens when faith begins to feel more like pressure than peace? In this episode, Scott and Deb sit down with Jeremy Neilson, author of Testimonies Anchored in Christ, to discuss his journey from alcoholism and hopelessness to a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ. Together, they explore the dangers of performance-based religion, the difference between obedience motivated by fear and obedience flowing from love, and how questions, disappointment, and even spiritual numbness can become invitations to know Christ more deeply. This conversation is a powerful reminder that our faith does not have to rest on perfect people, perfect institutions, or perfect performance—it can rest securely in a perfect Savior.
