In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Rachel Hale, a singer/songwriter from Nashville and former American Idol finalist who loves Jesus deeply and is learning how to follow Him with courage in the entertainment world.

Rachel opens up about navigating the music industry as a Christian woman — especially the pressure to compromise values around purity, image, and identity. She shares stories of choosing kingdom convictions over cultural expectations, and how the Holy Spirit has taught her to lead even when there’s no blueprint for what God is asking her to do.

We discuss the tension of taking steps of faith when nothing makes sense on paper, and the courage it takes to stay obedient when you feel alone or misunderstood. Rachel also shares powerful moments where God spoke directly to her about her worth, her calling, and why “just because it sells doesn’t mean it’s valuable.”

If you’re in a season where you can’t see the next step, feel pressure to blend in, or wonder if you’re falling behind, Rachel’s story will remind you that God rewards obedience, He honors purity, and He always makes a way where there seems to be none.

Listen in and be encouraged — God is writing a story through your life that only you can carry.

In this episode of The One Big Thing, I sit down with Neil Broere — pastor, writer, Bible teacher, and former missionary to Iraq — for one of the most profound conversations we’ve had on this show.

Neil shares what Jesus has been teaching him in this season: union with Christ. We talk about what it really means to be in Him — not just saved by Him, not just working for Him, but living from a place of oneness where everything else flows downstream. This conversation moves deep into obedience, suffering, faith, and what it looks like to trust God even when prayers feel unanswered.

Neil opens up about life on the mission field, raising a family in difficult environments, and how suffering becomes a gateway to intimacy with God rather than a sign of His absence. We wrestle honestly with hard questions: What happens when God doesn’t move the way we expect? How do we hold faith when the miracle doesn’t come? And how does suffering actually shape us into people who can carry the weight of God’s glory?

If you’re in a season of uncertainty, pain, transition, or deep questioning — this episode is for you. It’s a reminder that God is still good, Jesus is still present, and your suffering is never wasted.

Listen in and be encouraged — even if He doesn’t, He is still faithful. And He is still with you.

Through his weekly devotional Between Sundays, Neil shares reflections drawn from Scripture and life experience, focusing on themes such as identity in Christ, the power of the gospel, God’s design for the church, the kingdom of God, suffering and wilderness seasons, and the beauty of communion.

In this episode of The One Big Thing, I sit down with my friend Andy Mason, founder of Heaven in Business, to talk about what it really means to walk with God — not just at church, but in every part of life.

Andy shares his incredible story of hearing God’s call to leave everything behind in New Zealand and start over in the United States. We talk about how to trust God when the next step isn’t clear, how to slow down enough to actually hear His voice, and what it means to live with a mandate that’s bigger than yourself.

This conversation reminded me that God moves at the pace of relationship — slow enough for us to walk beside Him. Whether you’re waiting on direction, wrestling with purpose, or learning how to yield control, this episode will encourage you to trust God’s timing and believe that He’s still leading you.

Listen in and be reminded: you’re not behind — you’re right where God needs you to be.

Rereleasing this episode as it fits the new format.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, I had the opportunity to reconnect with a longtime friend, Kristen Campbell - a collegiate volleyball player turned mentor, nonprofit leader, and now founder of her own business.

Kristen opens up about the highs and lows of her journey: from feeling on top of the world in her career, to walking through the heartbreak of infertility and burnout, and ultimately taking a bold leap of faith into entrepreneurship.

Kristen shares how her unshakable faith and gift of encouragement have guided her through seasons of waiting, disappointment, and transformation. Her "One Big Thing"? Keep moving forward—no matter where you are or what you're facing.

This episode isn't about having it all figured out—it's about embracing the process, showing up with palms-up obedience, and trusting that God will either fulfill the desire in your heart or lovingly replace it with something better. Kristen’s story will resonate with anyone navigating change, wrestling with uncertainty, or seeking clarity in chaos.

Whether you're a parent, a spouse, a professional in transition, or someone sitting in a quiet moment wondering what now?—This conversation is for you.

Key Takeaways:

• Why moving forward doesn’t always mean moving fast
• How to listen for God's voice in the stillness and discomfort
• Journaling and prayer as tools for discernment and surrender
• Redefining success through seasons of waiting and transformation
• The power of community, encouragement, and spiritual alignment

This episode marks a brand-new chapter for The One Big Thing. From here on out, every conversation will center on faith — on what Jesus is teaching us in this season of life.

I couldn’t think of a better person to start this new direction with than my friend Jake Kauffman.

Jake and I go deep on something that every believer eventually faces: the role of suffering and dependence in our walk with Jesus. We talk about what it means to trust God when life unravels, why true transformation often comes through pain, and how the wilderness seasons of life can actually draw us closer to Him.

You’ll hear Jake share his story of loss, healing, and renewal — and how God met him in the middle of it. We explore what spiritual maturity really looks like, the beauty of surrender, and why God’s favor often shows up in ways we don’t expect.

If you’re walking through a hard season or wondering where God is in the middle of your struggle, I want you to know — you’re not alone. God’s not done with you. Your story is still being written.

Listen in and be encouraged — Jesus is at work in your life too.

What happens when success on the outside doesn’t match the peace you crave on the inside?

In this episode of The One Big Thing Podcast, I sit down with my friend and powerhouse leader, Keri Ford. Keri works with high-impact leaders, entrepreneurs, and parents to help them rewire their nervous systems, set healthy boundaries, and reclaim presence in a world that constantly demands more.

We dive into the hidden cost of always being “on,” the struggle of raising kids in a tech-saturated culture, and the weight leaders carry when their identity gets wrapped up in what they do instead of who they are. Keri doesn’t just share big-picture ideas—she gives us practical guardrails: no phones at the dinner table, paying attention to what we consume, and learning to ask better questions to truly connect with those around us.

If you’ve ever felt stretched thin by technology, distracted from the people that matter most, or caught chasing success that doesn’t satisfy, this conversation is for you.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not about being perfect—it’s about being present.

One Big Thing: Protect your input. Guard your mind, your time, and your presence—because the world needs the most authentic version of you.

On this episode of The One Big Thing Podcast, I sit down with Jabari Davis, former University of Tennessee running back (2001–2004) and the man fans still call The J-Train, Big Juice, and The Gator Killer. While his highlight reels and touchdowns against Florida made him a Tennessee legend, what inspires me most is the work he’s doing now to make an impact far beyond the gridiron.

Jabari opens up about the highs of playing in Neyland Stadium, the lows of dealing with injury and depression, and the faith and family that helped him find purpose again. We talk about his transition from football to launching the Legends of Tennessee nonprofit, where he’s empowering the next generation through sports, mentorship, education, and youth mental health programs

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

• How to bounce back when life doesn’t go according to plan.
• Why your legacy isn’t defined by stats, but by the lives you touch.
• The importance of gratitude, community, and mentorship in building a meaningful life.
• How sports can teach lessons far greater than the game itself.

_______________________________
