Abortion has become the prevailing human rights crisis of our time, and many Christians remain silent. In this episode, we speak with Brian Saksa about why Christians must confront abortion with conviction, courage, and pro-life action.

Brian explains why abortion is not just a political issue, but a moral and spiritual crisis—and how passive faith within the Church has allowed abortion to continue. He shares how God moved him from silent belief to bold obedience, even at personal cost.

This episode is a clear call to Christians who say they are pro-life but struggle with fear, silence, or inaction. If you’re ready to understand what faithful obedience looks like in a culture of death, this conversation will challenge and equip you.

Have you ever prayed for a breakthrough, believed with all your heart, and still found yourself waiting?

Still trusting.

Still hoping.

Still wondering why nothing seems to be changing.

In this episode of Your Biggest Breakthrough, it’s just the two of us—no guest—because this conversation is for anyone walking through a season where the breakthrough hasn’t come yet.

We talk honestly about what happens when God feels silent, when the miracle doesn’t arrive on your timeline, and when you’re tempted to quit believing altogether. Wendie breaks down seven practical, faith-based principles that show you exactly what to do while you’re waiting—how to stay aligned with God’s will, take meaningful action, and keep your heart engaged instead of discouraged.

We also share real-life stories of delayed breakthroughs—health battles, infertility, healing journeys—to remind you that waiting doesn’t mean God isn’t working. Sometimes the breakthrough isn’t just about what God is doing for you, but what He’s doing in you.

If you’re in a waiting season right now, this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and a renewed sense of hope to keep moving forward without giving up.

What if the story you’re living right now—yes, even the painful parts—is being written by God with more intention than you can see?

In this episode of Your Biggest Breakthrough, we sit down with our dear friends Joe and Tamara Battaglia, and we promise you this conversation will move you. You’ll laugh, you may cry, and you’ll walk away reminded that nothing in your life is random.

Joe’s journey through Christian media, Tamara’s deeply personal miracles of motherhood, the heartbreaks, the waiting seasons, and the surprising love story God orchestrated between them—it all points to one powerful truth: God is always working behind the scenes, even when we don’t recognize it in the moment.

Tamara shares the heart behind her devotional, Written in Heaven—a collection of real stories from women who’ve walked through infertility, loss, divorce, illness, loneliness, and restoration. These aren’t polished testimonies; they’re honest, faith-filled reminders that God sees you, hears you, and is still writing your story.

We also talk about marriage, purpose, second chances, loneliness, worship as warfare, and why sharing your story—no matter how ordinary it feels—might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.
