So, this is your invitation to pull up a chair and join us at the table. Jess has a book coming out...

The Enemy, Shame, and Learning to See Yourself the Way Jesus Does with Stasi Eldredge- Episode 1082
Sep 7, 2026I LOVED getting to sit down with Stasi Eldredge because it just feels like she’s a mentor to all of us. She knows Jesus intimately and wants us to know Him on that level and know the power we have to push back against the enemy, too. Her new book, Ladder of Love, includes a masterclass on spiritual warfare - and as we’ve been talking about the way the enemy’s stolen, killed, or destroyed our dreams, Stasi’s equipping us to fight back. Head’s up - we talk about her story which includes some...

Sep 4, 2026My new book, Don’t Let That Hold You Back, comes out September 15th, and today I get to read a short portion of it to you! This book is about THAT thing. You know the thing. Maybe it’s fear or doubt or lack of faith. I wrote this book because I want us to get curious about what’s actually holding us back, and then figure out what it looks like to take a step forward anyway. The entire book will be available to you in hardback, ebook, and audiobook format on Tuesday, September 15th which...

What Has the Enemy Stolen, Killed, or Destroyed—and What Can You Do About It? with Tim Ross- Episode 1078
Aug 24, 2026John 10:10 says, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." Steal, kill, and destroy-- they're all really different. They're all really unique. There's different things to do for yourself when they happen, and I think it's a really important conversation for us to have. In Don't Let That Hold You Back, I really deep dive into each of these things, but for this week and into the next couple of weeks, I wanted to have...

Aug 17, 2026Have you ever looked at someone else's life and thought, Well... they can do that, but I could never write a book, go back to school, teach, start the thing, do both? Y'all know Dr. Angie Smith as an incredible Bible teacher, speaker, bestselling author, and honestly just one of the funniest humans you'll ever meet. But what I love about this conversation is that we don't just talk about all the things she's accomplished—we talk about everything that could have kept her from doing...

David Pollack has lived a lot of life since his football days—playing in the NFL, watching that dream come to an unexpected end because of injury, joining the College GameDay team, walking through his wife Lindsey's battle with a brain tumor (she's now cancer-free!), and learning what it actually looks like to trust God through every season. One of my favorite parts of this conversation is hearing about the rhythms that have transformed his faith....
