    When God Doesn’t Heal: Finding Faith in an Unending Medical Nightmare

    13/03/2026 | 59 mins.
    What do you do when your body—and your faith—are pushed to the breaking point? Rebekah Howe has spent years facing a genetic condition that causes her joints to literally come apart. In this raw and unfiltered conversation, she opens up about the "nightmare" of constant surgeries, the anger she felt when medical errors occurred, and the heartbreaking moment a pastor told her she was "less than" because of her disability.

    If you are walking through a season of chronic pain, emotional trauma, or spiritual doubt, this episode is a survival guide for the soul. Rebekah moves past the "Pollyanna" cliches to show how to find a reason to get out of bed when the physical pain won't stop.

    In this episode, we discuss:
    The Stigma of Disability: Dealing with the "less than" label within the church.
    Medical Trauma: How Rebekah handled a doctor’s life-altering mistake and her subsequent anger.
    The MRI Playlist: A practical strategy for when you feel trapped by fear and anxiety.
    Elephant Circles: Why you need a "handful" of friends who care more about your heart than your comfort.
    The Refiner’s Fire: Why God allows suffering that feels like it’s breaking you.

    From Panic Attacks to Peace: How Apologetics Cured My Fear of Death

    06/03/2026 | 50 mins.
    Is your faith strong enough to handle a crisis, or is it just a "ticket out of hell"? In this powerful interview, Jennifer Beitel shares her journey from suffering with debilitating panic attacks and a crippling fear of death to finding unshakable peace through the "knowledge tradition" of Christianity.

    Many Christians today live in a state of "cognitive dissonance"—believing in Jesus on Sundays but feeling lost when faced with the "culture wars" or personal suffering. Jennifer, a microbiologist and founder of United Next Gen, explains why she stopped relying on "blind faith" and started diving into the scientific and historical evidence for the Bible.

    Whether you’re a parent struggling to answer your kids' hard questions, or you’re someone wrestling with anxiety about the future, this conversation will give you the "Box Top" you need to make the puzzle pieces of life finally fit together.

    In this video, we discuss:
    The Root of Anxiety: How Jennifer overcame a lifelong fear of death and hypochondria.
    The "Busy" Trap: Why staying distracted is the greatest enemy of a deep relationship with God.
    Scientific Evidence: A microbiologist's perspective on the design and fine-tuning of the universe.
    Biblical Worldview: How to move past "your truth" and "my truth" to find the objective Truth of reality.
    Parenting in 2026: Why equipping the next generation with apologetics is no longer optional.

    Surviving Hyper-Charismatic Church Corruption with Nakita Canfield

    27/02/2026 | 58 mins.
    "I didn't know the real Gospel until I left."

    After years of "Name It, Claim It" theology and hyper-charismatic pressure, Nakita found herself at the center of a "data-mining" operation—where leadership used her private social media to fake prophetic moments. When the "Best Life Now" promise failed to heal her physical crisis, she was labeled "demonic" for questioning the show.

    Nakita shares her "mass untangling" of spiritual abuse and how she found a grounded, evidence-based faith in Jesus that actually stands up to suffering.

    In this episode, we discuss:
    The "Data Mining" Scandal: How leaders use your private information to manipulate you from the pulpit.
    The Truth About "Word of Faith": Why the pressure to be "healthy and wealthy" is a crushing burden for the hurting.
    Healing from the "Bully Pulpit": Recovering after being publicly shamed and shunned by your church community.
    Evidence Over Emotions: How studying the historical Resurrection provided the anchor Nakita needed to survive a life of "chaos."

    If you’ve ever felt like a "loser" for not being healed, or if you're terrified to walk back into a church after being burned, this conversation is for you. You aren't alone, and you aren't crazy.

    The Darkness of Clinical Depression and the Light That Never Fades with David Bouchard

    20/02/2026 | 53 mins.
    Can you trust God when you don't feel hope? In this episode, I sit down with David Bouchard, a cybersecurity professional, scientist, and lay pastor who spent years as a strict materialist and atheist. Despite his academic success and professional achievements, David has lived with a "heightened sensitivity to the brokenness of the world," battling cycles of clinical depression, anxiety, and grief.

    David shares his "rock bottom" moment in Houston—where the darkness was so thick his wife had to hide the knives and remove doorknobs to keep him safe. He opens up about the unique struggle of finishing a seminary degree while feeling like an atheist, and how a single command from the book of Joshua changed his perspective on "standing up and moving" through the valley.

    Whether you are a believer struggling with your mental health, or you love someone who is, this conversation offers a powerful reminder: You are not a failure for being in the "pit," and you are certainly not alone.

    In this video, we discuss:
    The "Magical Trio": How depression, anxiety, and grief overlap and manifest in the body.
    Faith vs. Feeling: Why you can know you have hope in Christ even when you can’t feel a single second of it.
    The "Water" Metaphor: A practical tool for friends and family to ask, "How deep is the water today?"
    The "Crutch" Myth: Why David’s conversion happened at a high point in life, not a low one.
    A Sacred Ending: The beautiful story of playing guitar as a loved one took their final breath.
