What if following God was never meant to be complicated?

In this episode of the Spirit Media Podcast, host David Foster talks with Colorado-based author Vern Kaska about his new book, Following God Is Easy. A voice and network engineer who has built infrastructure across fifteen countries, Vern brings the same clarity he applies to complex systems into his walk with God — no formal theology training, just daily prayer, scripture, and a life built on relationship over religion.

Vern unpacks why so many believers feel exhausted chasing spiritual perfection, and why the answer isn't more rules but more relationship. He shares candid insight on prayer as ongoing conversation, why no person can come between you and God, and how the difference between religion and relationship changes everything about how faith actually works.

This conversation is for anyone who's ever felt like faith was too complicated, too demanding, or too far out of reach — and is ready to discover it was simple all along.

Can faith survive when everything else falls apart?

In this deeply moving episode of the Spirit Media Podcast, host David Foster sits down with author Meredith Nolasco to share the story behind her memoir, Hallelujah, Even Here. When her son Carter was born at just twenty-seven weeks, hope and heartbreak collided in the NICU. Over twelve fragile days, Meredith experienced both the deepest love and the unimaginable loss of a child gone too soon.

With remarkable honesty, Meredith walks through the days surrounding Carter’s birth and passing, the disorientation of grief, and the quiet, steadying presence of God she found in the midst of suffering. She reflects on the words that became her family’s anchor, the comfort she drew from the raw laments of the Psalms, and what the loss revealed about dependence, peace, and hope that endures even in the darkest valley.

This is an honest conversation about grief, faith, trauma, and lament — and the tender, powerful ways God meets us in our “even here” moments. For parents navigating loss, anyone walking alongside a grieving friend, or those searching for meaning in pain, this heartfelt episode offers comfort, companionship, and resilient hope.

What if, in the most terrifying moment of your life, you heard God whisper that He had already answered your prayer?

In this deeply moving episode of the Spirit Media Podcast, host David Foster sits down with Christian author, speaker, and real estate agent Michelle Wilson to explore the true story behind her memoir, Jesus Whispers. A devoted wife of more than forty years, mother of four, and a twin, Michelle has spent decades learning to recognize God’s voice in the ordinary and the extraordinary moments of everyday life.

At the heart of the book is an unforgettable moment: standing at the bottom of a snowy hill, Michelle watched a car run over her four-year-old son on his sled—and then heard God whisper words she has never forgotten. She shares how that day transformed her faith forever, how she first learned that God still speaks through Scripture, and other astonishing answered prayers, including a dream that led her husband to a dying man’s bedside.

The conversation explores faith, answered prayer, hearing God’s voice, mental and spiritual resilience, family, and the legacy of testimony we leave behind. Whether you’re seeking hope, wrestling with silence, or hungry to know God more personally, this heartfelt conversation will encourage and inspire you.
