In this episode of the Reach Podcast, we kick off a three part miniseries with Dr. Mark Yarbrough, president of Dallas Theological Seminary and professor of Bible Exposition. Together they dive into the book of Jonah a story often remembered for its “big fish,” but packed with lessons on God’s heart, human reluctance, and the call to share His message. Dr. Yarbrough sets the historical and literary stage for Jonah, helping us see how this ancient narrative connects directly to our mission of sharing Jesus today. From God’s compassion for all people to our responsibility as grace-recipients, this conversation challenges us to look past the surface and discover what Jonah still teaches us about evangelism, obedience, and grace.

How do you walk with a friend through the deepest pain imaginable? In this episode of the Reach Podcast, Blaine sits down with Holly Worley, Search staff in Davidson, NC, to talk about a powerful story of friendship, faith, and the patience required when spiritual conversations intersect with real-life trauma.

Holly shares how a simple Bible study in a Ben & Jerry’s shop unexpectedly led to years of walking alongside women who were spiritually curious but wrestling with deep questions. Together, Blaine and Holly unpack the importance of listening, loving well, and knowing when (and when not) to bring intellectual answers into the conversation.

In this episode of the Reach Podcast, Blaine sits down again with Tanner Morgan—former University of Minnesota quarterback and now on staff with Search Ministries—to talk about what it really means to “flip the switch” when it comes to faith.

Tanner shares the story of his longtime friend “Travis,” a fellow quarterback who has been asking big questions about God, the Bible, and salvation. From wrestling with doubts like “Why would God send good people to hell?” to wondering if becoming a Christian is just about “turning it on” when you’re ready, Travis’s journey highlights the struggles many face in moving from curiosity to commitment.

Together, Blaine and Tanner explore how authentic relationships, honest conversations, and biblical truth can help break down intellectual barriers. They discuss the difference between performing for God and surrendering to Him, what it means to be a child of God, and how grace cannot be earned but must be received.
