“For me, part of what makes a song truly great is that it’s striking that balance where you have both of those things—you have the truth of the Word, and you have the art of the song that grabs your attention and draws you in.”
In this special fiftieth episode, Sierra Bergman wraps up the 2025 year by interviewing ministers and musical guests Andrea Thurlow and Kris Jones. This episode also includes a new song featuring both of our guests, “Praise You with My Life,” and a single from Kris, “Did You Pray?” Both artists also spend time in this episode talking about how writing and performing godly music has helped them and others, and how God works in them to produce content that ministers. With positivity, humility, and thankful hearts, they share about their lives and encourage those who want to give of their talents to build up others. Interested in hearing more?

“We get to rely on God as our Source of stability. That stability doesn’t come from having ‘all of our ducks in a row’ per se, it’s from trusting in THE Source of stability, God.”
In this episode, Taylor Thurlow interviews Mr. and Mrs. Jared Torell (Nancy), two ministers with The Way International, and they talk about walking powerfully through change. Having recently gone through many changes, including marriage, graduating from The Way’s minister training program, and successfully doing five moves in five years, Jared and Nancy share on some of their experiences with trusting God through transitions. This episode is chock-full of helpful tips, scripture verses, positive ways to think about change, and personal stories that can help us remember that no matter what is going on around us, God knows it all, and He is our Source of stability.

“When life gets messy or challenging, genuine faith has to show up different than just looking like a Christian.”
In this episode, Heather Neault has a deep and thoughtful conversation with Mrs. Lyndon Sumlin (Vicky), a minister with The Way International, about the difference between having a true, vital, spiritual relationship with God and having the surface-level attributes of a Christian. Vicky addresses the negative effects this more presentational type of Christianity can have and what it means to instead love and live like Christ did. This episode is packed with powerful statements and reflections on how we as Christians can maximize our walk with God and show others Who He is through our actions.

“In our walk as ambassadors for Christ, we’re always on the lookout to make sure we are putting truth on in our mind and exposing ourselves to that....Over time, that exposure to things that the adversary might be throwing [at us] can wear us down. So, we do want to step away from that.”
In this episode, Lauren Schiano interviews Aaron Morphy about having integrity online, especially on social media, including ways we can speak the truth of God’s Word in love on these platforms. Aaron, who has a master’s degree in cybersecurity, gives unique insight into topics like internet safety, ideas for sharing God’s Word online, consideration for others online, and ways to combat sensationalism and polarizing content. He also explains several ways the internet is designed to draw users in, and ways we can, instead of getting pulled into endless scrolling, make the most of our time for God. While the internet has many pitfalls, it can certainly be used as a tool for positivity that believers can make the most of. Even online, we can bring the light of God’s Word and His integrity to others!

“God encouraged my heart, and I took a stand in that birthing room. And I told everyone in the room that I was going to pray for my son, and that God could heal him.”
In this episode, Hunter Mullins sits down with minister Matthew Duley and his son, Josef Duley, for a wholesome, encouraging conversation about taking a stand for God. Both father and son draw from their personal experiences, sharing moments in their lives where they made the decision to take a stand and saw the victories that followed. Matthew specifically shares about when his son was born and declared deaf by doctors. He prayed for his son despite this difficult news, and Josef was healed. Josef then shares about how he took a stand in leading a Christian Fellowship Club at his school. Through these sharings, full of scriptures and practical advice, we can find greater courage to stand for God in every category of our lives!

“To be all things to all men—how can you achieve that in your own life? How can you be relatable?”
In this episode, Hunter Mullins interviews Josh Page, a young man who started a community event in South Carolina called “Cruisin’ to Christ.” This outreach event has a large focus on meeting people and teaching hot Bible, and it’s also centered around something Josh loves: car meets.

Do you also love helping people with God’s Word? Listen to Josh’s story and see if you can bring more of God’s Word into your own community by doing what you already love to do.
