Dream Big Podcast with Bob Goff and Friends

This week on the podcast, Bob sits down with singer-songwriter Matthew West for a conversation about grace, identity, availability, and what it means to live a life that actually lasts. Together, they talk about everything from faith and family to baseball hats, prison phone calls, work ethic, and the quiet courage of taking small steps forward.
If this conversation resonated with you, Matthew’s latest music and newest book carry many of the same themes: learning to stop performing, receive grace, and stay faithful one step at a time. Be sure to check out his newest album, Don’t Stop Praying, recent songs like “Good” and “Jesus is King,” and his new book Don’t Stop Praying, available now.

Writing a book can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. In this Writing Room conversation, Bob Goff, Kimberly Stuart, and Allison Trowbridge talk about what actually helps, focusing on one reader, one clear idea, and the courage to start messy and figure it out as you go. Along the way, Allie shares how her work with Copper Books is helping authors navigate the publishing process in a more thoughtful, supported way.
If you’ve been thinking about writing a book but aren’t sure where to begin, this episode is a great place to start. And if you’re ready to take a step further, Allie is hosting a Book Fair in Nashville on May 8, a one-day gathering designed to help aspiring authors understand the full journey from idea to publication and connect with others doing the same.

Life isn’t either joy or hardship, it’s often both at the same time. In this episode, Bob and Liz Bohannon talk about how to stay grounded in the middle of it all by building deep, authentic relationships. They share why vulnerability matters, how to find safe people, and what it looks like to be the kind of friend you’re hoping to have. It’s a thoughtful, encouraging conversation about showing up fully and helping others do the same.
