  • 36 & Single: Trusting God's Timing
    2026/11/13

    Every testimony matters. You don't need a dramatic story or a life-changing moment to have a story worth sharing. In this episode, Amanda opens up about her journey of faith and why every person's story of coming to know Christ is worth telling.

    She shares about a season of life when she was still single at 36, learning to trust God's plan and finding peace in the possibility that He might have her remain single for the rest of her life, while still remaining open to the opportunities He might bring along the way.

    Amanda also talks about the joys and challenges of being both a mom and a stepmom, and the intentionality that goes into raising children in a Christ-centered home. She and her husband are striving to be more than just voices telling their children about the Gospel. They want their kids to see what it looks like to follow Jesus through the way they live each and every day.

    It's a conversation about trusting God's timing, embracing the story He's writing, and recognizing that sometimes the greatest testimony is found in the everyday faithfulness of walking with Him.

  • Addiction, Faith, & Sober Houses
    2026/10/30

    At just 13 years old, Marc began smoking pot, setting him on a downward spiral that led to addiction, poor choices, and multiple trips to jail. But his story didn't end there. Through a sober house, Marc found the help he needed to get clean—and discovered something even greater along the way: God.

    Now a new believer with a growing faith and a heart for helping others, Marc believes that with God, anything is possible. After a year of sobriety, he came across a large house in Maine and could envision something bigger than himself: a place where other men could find the same hope and freedom he had experienced.

    Today, Chris’ Haven of Hope is open, offering men a fresh start through structure, accountability, and a brotherhood of men pursuing the same goal: staying clean and building a new life.

  • The Heart of the Gospel is NOT Checking off Boxes
    2026/10/09

    What does it look like to trust God when you don’t have an answer to “Why?” In this episode, we sit down with the president of the Fellowship of Evangelical Churches (FEC) to hear the story behind his faith, leadership, and passion for reaching people with the Gospel. He opens up about growing up without a dad and the lasting impact of missing that father figure in his life. He also shares how he learned to trust God even when the answers didn’t come. We talk about the challenge of balancing a demanding job that requires a lot of travel with his commitment to putting his family first. He gives insight into the FEC’s growing vision of planting churches across the country and now internationally in Africa. But perhaps most importantly, he shares a personal lesson he had to learn: you can spend your life trying to please God, checking all the right boxes, doing all the right things—and still find yourself lonely. This is a conversation about faith, family, leadership, trusting God in the unknown, and discovering that following Jesus is about far more than simply checking the boxes.

  • God Was Calling Me... I Didn't Recognize It
    2026/10/02

    In this episode, Justin sits down with a man who spent much of his life living without God, even while feeling for years that God was calling him to something more. He shares what changed when he finally chose to follow Jesus—and why faith is about so much more than simply showing up to church on Sunday. He talks about looking for everyday opportunities to make a difference, whether that means having a meaningful conversation with someone while he’s out and about or simply taking the time to connect with the people around him. One of his greatest joys has been watching his own two children make the decision to follow Jesus for themselves. His story is a reminder that faith isn't meant to stay inside the walls of a church—it’s meant to shape the way we live, love, and interact with people every day.

  • I Had My Life And That Was It
    2026/09/28

    Justin sits down with a music teacher who uses our church building to teach from. Music has been a huge part of his life. From playing instruments at a young age, to studying at Berklee College of Music, to traveling with a band, he spent years pursuing music and doing life on his own terms. He grew up going to church, but when he started asking deeper questions about God and faith, the people around him didn't have the answers he was looking for. So, for years, he walked away and pursued his own path. Then, one day in an airport, he picked up a Bible. What started as a simple moment turned into something he couldn't walk away from. As he read, he began to see his life—and the choices he'd been making—in a completely different way. Now, as a Christian, his passion for music has taken on a whole new meaning. In this episode, he shares his story of growing up in church, searching for answers, and finding God in an unexpected place.
