After 16 conversations, I felt God stirring something I couldn't ignore.

What began as a podcast focused on faith-forward conversations has slowly revealed something deeper: the power of testimony.

In this episode, I share why Built By Faith is pausing new guest interviews for the next several weeks and why I believe God is calling me into a quieter season of reflection, healing, and obedience.

As I've listened to the stories of Caleb, Jaylon, Gabe, and so many others, one truth continues to rise to the surface:

A testimony is not your story. It's His.

Scripture tells us that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. Yet many of us carry stories we've never fully shared, wounds we've never fully brought into the light, and places where God is still revealing what He wants to heal.

This isn't a goodbye.

It's a regroup.

A chance to sit at His feet, seek His direction, and better understand how He wants to use Built By Faith moving forward.

A seven-day panic attack.

A hospital visit.

A Bible opened to Philippians 4:13.

And a life that would never be the same.

In this episode, professional baseball player Gabe Klobosits shares his testimony publicly for the first time.

We talk about identity, anxiety, surrender, Psalm 23, purpose, obedience, and learning to trust God when the future makes no sense.

A conversation about what happens when life stops being about us and starts becoming about Him.

Jaylon Lee plays outfield for the GlowMojis in the Cosmic Baseball League, but his journey to this moment wasn't the path he expected.

After years of chasing professional baseball, Jaylon watched opportunities disappear, endured multiple releases, wrestled with financial hardship, and found himself questioning everything—including his faith.

In this episode, Jaylon shares the college years that shaped his faith, the identity crisis that followed baseball's disappointments, and the moment Proverbs 16:3 changed everything. He opens up about arguing with God, walking away from his Bible for months, therapy, surrender, and ultimately discovering who he was outside of the game.

What followed wasn't the future he planned—it was something better.

This is a conversation about identity, purpose, surrender, and learning to trust God when the path ahead doesn't make sense.
