  • Bringing Light to Human Trafficking: Faith, Awareness, and Hope (Featuring Meg Williams from AbolitionNC)
    Jan 19 2026

    This episode is about bringing light into a difficult topic — with faith, compassion, and hope at the center.

    I’m joined by Meg Williams, Director of Community Outreach at AbolitionNC, for a conversation about human trafficking that is grounded in awareness, prevention, and the belief that light is stronger than darkness. While the topic is heavy, this episode is not meant to overwhelm or scare — it’s meant to inform, encourage, and empower.

    We talk about common misconceptions around trafficking, how prevention begins with awareness and community, and how faith plays a central role in bringing healing and hope to survivors. Meg also shares how Jesus meets people in their deepest pain and how compassion, presence, and obedience guide this work.

    This conversation is a reminder that we are not powerless, that faith calls us to both awareness and action, and that even in broken spaces, hope is real and present.

    If you want to learn, grow, and reflect — without fear — this episode is for you.

  • The Power of One Person Who Shows Up (Featuring Virgo Dykstra)
    Jan 12 2026

    Sometimes the most meaningful impact doesn’t come from having the right words — it comes from simply showing up.

    In this episode, I sit down with my friend Virgo to talk about mentorship, presence, and the quiet power of being someone who listens. We share stories from youth ministry, moments of being seen at the right time, and the people who shaped our faith not through authority, but through empathy and consistency.

    We talk about why mentorship isn’t about fixing others, how creating safe spaces can change someone’s life, and why feeling heard matters more than having all the answers. This conversation is a reminder that influence often comes from small, faithful moments — not big platforms or perfect advice.

    If you’ve ever felt unseen, or wondered whether the way you show up really matters, this episode will remind you that presence is powerful — and that one person can make all the difference.

  • How to Grow This Year Without Burning Yourself Out (Featuring Bill Fahrner)
    Jan 5 2026

    As a new year begins, many of us feel pressure to set big goals, make resolutions, and completely reinvent ourselves — often without slowing down to ask what we actually need.

    In this episode, my dad and I talk about a healthier way to approach growth. We discuss the idea of choosing a single word to guide your year, the importance of margin, and how self-awareness can help you grow without burning yourself out. We also reflect on faith, discipline, distraction, and what it looks like to pursue long-term growth instead of chasing short-term pressure.

    We talk about identity, purpose, modern distractions like social media and AI, and why what you consume has a greater influence on your life than you may realize. This episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and think intentionally about who you’re becoming — not just what you want to accomplish.

    If you’re entering this year feeling motivated but also overwhelmed, this conversation will help you reset your focus and approach growth with clarity, grace, and sustainability.
