My Husband Confronts His Ex-Pastor Carl Lentz from Hillsong Church
We sit down with Carl Lentz, ex-Hillsong pastor, and we didn’t feel like we were talking to a “celebrity pastor” or someone from headlines—It felt like we were talking to a real human being who has walked through the fire and come out on the other side. This episode honestly felt different… like one of those conversations that stays with you. What stood out to me the most is how honest he was. No excuses. No pretending. Just real ownership of his mistakes, his pain, and his growth.
He talked about how small compromises turned into bigger ones… how pressure and fame didn’t create his issues, but exposed what was already there. And instead of running from it, he leaned into healing. We also talked about Hillsong, what it was, what it wasn't, Carl's forthcoming book, and so much more.

Why You Keep Doing What You Hate Doing... | Faith Friday Ep. 8
If you’ve ever said, “This is the last time”… and then found yourself right back in the same place—this episode is for you!
In Romans 7, Paul puts words to a struggle we all feel but rarely talk about:doing the very things we hate… even when we know better.
This episode breaks down:
Why willpower alone isn’t working
The real reason you feel stuck in the same cycle
What the Bible actually says about your struggle with sin
And why the answer isn’t trying harder, but something deeper
If you’ve been frustrated with yourself, feeling like you should be further along by now… you’re not alone—and you’re not broken.
This might completely change how you see your struggle.

She Married Against Her Family’s Wishes and Culture… And It Led Her to Christ with Sazan Hendrix
I’m sitting down with the incredible Sazan Hendrix for a conversation that gave me chills. Sazan shares her powerful testimony about how she found Jesus at 21 years old after hitting rock bottom. After a painful breakup and feeling completely lost, she prayed one simple prayer asking God to reveal Himself… and that night she had a dream that changed everything.
Before she ever opened a Bible or stepped into church, Sazan says she began encountering Jesus through dreams and experiencing a peace she had never known before.
We also talk about the challenges she faced when she fell in love with her now-husband Stevie — including the reality that her parents initially didn’t approve of their relationship because of cultural differences.
If you’ve ever wondered how God speaks, struggled with family expectations, or questioned whether God is real, this conversation is going to encourage you so much.
In This Episode
00:28 – Meeting Sazan + Life in Nashville
03:00 – Finding Godly Community & Seasons of Life
09:50 – 14 Years as a Content Creator
12:17 – Her Testimony: Finding Jesus at 21
15:32 – How She Met Her Husband Stevie
18:00 – God Revealed Himself Through Dreams
21:05 – Prophetic Dreams & Hearing God’s Voice
31:12 – Marrying Someone Your Family Doesn’t Approve Of
41:07 – Being First-Generation & Balancing Culture with Faith

Interviewing My Best Friend about Her Heartbreak that Lead to Engagement
Heartbreak, a breakup, a long waiting season, and a lot of trusting God.
I’m sitting down with my best friend Alyssa to interview her about her
unexpected love story. I've know Alyssa from all the way back to my LA
days. Alyssa shares her incredible love story with her fiancé, Regan.
What makes their story so powerful is that it wasn’t a straight path.
Alyssa and Reagan met at church and dated for several months before
realizing the relationship wasn’t healthy at the time. Even though they
loved each other, they chose to walk away. During the year they were
apart, Alyssa focused on seeking the Lord through prayer, fasting,
journaling, and community—even when it was painful. Eventually, God
redeems it. Listen for the full story!
This episode is a reminder that God’s timing is different from ours, but
when we surrender our relationships to Him, He can redeem and restore
in ways we never expected.
In This Episode
01:00 – Meeting My Best Friend Alyssa in an LA Bible Study
04:00 – First Impressions & How Our Friendship Started
07:00 – Dating in LA & Watching Each Other’s Relationships
10:50 – How Alyssa Met Reagan at Church
14:00 – Their First Relationship & Why They Broke Up
17:00 – Navigating a Painful Breakup in the Same Community
21:00 – Praying, Waiting, and Trusting God in the Unknown
31:00 – When Reagan Came Back & What Changed
42:50 – The Proposal, Engagement & God’s Redemption

Q&A: Baby #2, Candace Owens, Leaving OKC & Law School Struggles
Marriage, babies, law school, internet drama… we really said “let’s cover everything” in this one. 😂
Kaleb and I sat down and answered your questions about baby #2 (which we genuinely don’t have a clear answer on), whether law school has changed our marriage, where we’d move if we left Oklahoma, and our thoughts on the Candace Owens situation. We also talked about the emotional toll of criminal law, big dreams for the future, how motherhood has shifted my ambition, 75 Hard updates (we are TIRED), and the random little things that annoy us about each other. It’s honest, it’s a little chaotic, but it’s very us — just navigating this season and trusting God with what’s next.

08:45 – If We Left Oklahoma… Where Would We Move?
10:20 – Has Law School Changed Our Marriage?

Craig Groeschel On Protecting His Marriage, Social Media Boundaries & Avoiding Burnout
I sat down with Craig Groeschel, pastor of Life.Church, for an AMAZING conversation. We talked about:
How to actually make your marriage last 35 years
Why you should prioritize your marriage over your kids
The behind-the-scenes safeguards he’s put in place to protect his integrity
What anxiety looked like for him as a pastor
Social media boundaries (this one hit me hard)
And why struggling with mental health is NOT a sin
I loved how honest he was about going through anxiety in 2019 — even while leading 45 campuses. It reminded me that no one is immune, and asking for help is wisdom, not weakness.
This episode felt like a masterclass in safeguards, sanctification, and self-awareness. And I’m honestly so grateful for leaders like Craig who are willing to be vulnerable.
In This Episode
03:30 – 35 Years of Marriage
09:10 – Safeguards & Integrity in Ministry
16:55 – Private Faith vs. Public Platform
24:45 – Connecting with God in Different Seasons
25:50 – Craig’s Anxiety Story
29:00 – Asking for Help
32:20 – Pattern Disruption & Healthy Rhythms
41:55 – Social Media & Mental Health
46:10 – Is Anxiety a Sin?
