Everyday Faith Podcast

What if God has already placed exactly what you need in your life — and you just haven't let it count yet?In part two with Tori Benham, we're picking up the conversation on lies, community, and what it actually looks like to receive the gifts God puts right in front of you. Tori is a mom of four, emotional intelligence coach, and co-author of Beauty and Battle and Unshakeable — and she shares a convicting and beautiful story. We talk about the lies that quietly fuel anxiety in motherhood — the subconscious ones you don't even know you're believing — and a three-step framework straight from Scripture to recognize them, renounce them, and replace them with truth. Because sometimes the most destructive thoughts aren't even lies. They just spiral until your greatest ally feels like your greatest enemy. But the moment that stopped us? Tori hearing three words from the Lord that changed everything. Let it count. The small conversations. The neighbor next door. The kids' friends who show up at your kitchen table. Community doesn't always look like what we expect. But God is faithful in the ordinary if we're willing to receive it. You are not alone. And the proof might already be closer than you think.Join us online!🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com 💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith 💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaithWherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

When's the last time you paused in the middle of an ordinary day and actually said — this is good?In this first episode of our special May Motherhood series, we sit down with Tori Benham — mentor, mom of four, emotional intelligence coach, and co-author of Beauty and Battle and Unshakeable. Tori walks us through something she wishes someone had told her early on: that God modeled a rhythm in Genesis One that most moms never give themselves permission to follow. Create. Pause. See the good. Not because everything is perfect — but because you're doing more right than you think. We also get into the four stages of parenting — babysitter, referee, coach, teammate — and what it looks like to lead your kids toward a season where they actually want you on their team. And Tori gets honest about the thing that trips most moms up: fear. How it sneaks in, shuts you down, and convinces you that you're not capable — when love is the very thing that makes you more than capable. You are not failing. You are growing. This conversation will help you see the difference.Join us online!🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com 💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith 💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaithWherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

What if discipleship isn't about having all the answers — it's about leading someone to the one who does?In our second conversation with Noah Egeberg, we're talking about the kind of faith community that changes people. Not the kind where you show up, shake some hands, and head home unchanged — but the kind where hungry people get in a room together and God just starts moving. Noah shares how a simple desire for connection led him to start Lighthouse — no strategy, no launch plan, just a handful of people and a willingness to say yes before he had it all figured out. And what grew out of that obedience is the kind of story that makes you want to go start something. We also dig into discipleship — and Noah reframes it in a way that might surprise you. It's not about becoming someone's spiritual guru. It's about pulling out a chair and helping someone find their seat at the table Jesus already prepared. The goal? Get them so connected to God that they don't need you anymore. Noah also shares something he's still working through himself: the tension between having every resource available and still falling into apathy. We're the most resourced generation and the most distracted. That's not an excuse — it's a call to be intentional. You were made for more than a lukewarm faith. This episode will remind you of that.Join us online!🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com 💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith 💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaithWherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

When God calls you…do you actually say yes?In this episode of the Everyday Faith Podcast, we sit down with Noah Egeberg to talk about what it really looks like to live a life of bold obedience—even when it sounds unconventional, uncomfortable, or completely unexpected.From welding in a small town to building a water system in Uganda, Noah shares how a deep encounter with God’s Word led him into radical surrender—and a series of “only God” moments that changed the trajectory of his life.But the story doesn’t stop there.Now as a business owner and deacon, Noah opens up about the tension of feeling called to ministry while working in the marketplace—and how God is reshaping his understanding of calling, purpose, and influence. This conversation dives into how to recognize God’s voice, trust Him in your current season, and live out your faith right where you are.You’ll be challenged to rethink what obedience really means—not as a pathway to results, but as a pathway to deeper intimacy with God.If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re on the right path or wondered how your everyday work fits into God’s plan, this episode will remind you that sometimes the most powerful step of faith is simply saying yes.Join us online!🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com 💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith 💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaithWherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

What if the thoughts you’ve been believing aren’t actually true?In part two of our conversation, Rachel Bailey joins us to dive deeper into the power of belief—and how the lies we carry can shape our entire relationship with God and ourselves.With honesty and clarity, Rachel shares how lies aren’t always loud or obvious—they’re often subtle, rooted in past experiences, and reinforced over time until they feel like truth. But those beliefs can limit what we see God do in our lives.The good news? You don’t have to stay stuck. In this episode, you’ll learn a simple, practical framework to:Identify the lies you’ve been believingBreak agreement with themReplace them with God’s truthThis conversation is both eye-opening and freeing—giving you tools to renew your mind, hear the Holy Spirit more clearly, and walk in the fullness of who God says you are.Because when you change what you believe, everything changes. Join us online!🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com 💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith 💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaithWherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

What if the biggest battles in your faith aren’t happening around you… but within you?In today’s episode of the Everyday Faith Podcast, we’re sitting down with Rachel Bailey to explore a powerful and often overlooked part of our faith journey: the lies we believe—and how they shape the way we see God, ourselves, and our circumstances. Rachel shares her story of growing up in the church, walking through deep personal loss, and later navigating brokenness in her marriage. Through those moments, she reveals how subtle lies about God’s character took root in her heart—and how the Holy Spirit gently exposed and uprooted them over time. Together, we unpack how the enemy works through deception, how those lies can quietly influence our thoughts and identity, and why recognizing them is the first step toward true freedom. Rachel also introduces a practical, Spirit-led framework for breaking agreement with those lies and replacing them with truth. This conversation is honest, eye-opening, and deeply encouraging for anyone who has ever wrestled with doubt, disappointment, or questions about God’s goodness. Because the truth is: God is still speaking. He is still healing. And when we invite Him in, He will reveal what’s been holding us back—and lead us into the freedom we were created for. Join us online!🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com 💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith 💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaithWherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

What if the growth you’re longing for in your faith starts with going all in—not just on Sunday, but every day?In today’s episode of the Everyday Faith Podcast, we continue our conversation with Erik Collins, campus pastor at Eagle Brook Church, as we talk about what it looks like to follow God into new seasons, trust Him with uncomfortable transitions, and discover the real purpose of church.Erik shares about leaving a student ministry role he deeply loved to step into a new calling as campus pastor, and how that transition stretched his faith, reshaped his dependence on God, and reminded him that obedience often means taking the next step without seeing the full plan.Along the way, this conversation turns toward a powerful and practical topic: what church is actually for. Together, we talk about why church isn’t just a place to attend for an hour each week, but a place to worship, serve, grow, and build meaningful community. Sunday may be the starting point, but true transformation happens in the everyday rhythms of walking with Jesus Monday through Saturday.If you’ve ever found yourself drifting into routine, wondering why church feels disconnected from the rest of your week, or struggling to find your place in community, this episode will encourage you to lean in. God didn’t design His people to consume church from the sidelines—He invites us to be part of it, to grow through it, and to let it shape the way we live every day.Join us online!🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com 💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith 💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaithWherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

What if the moment that breaks you is the very moment God uses to reach you?In this episode of the Everyday Faith Podcast, we sit down with Erik Collins, campus pastor at Eagle Brook Church, to hear a powerful story of failure, redemption, and encountering the unconditional love of God in a way that changes everything.Erik shares how he grew up in church and knew all the “right” things about God—but never truly understood them in his heart. After years of chasing success and hiding sin, everything came crashing down in one defining moment that exposed it all. But what followed wasn’t rejection—it was grace. From there, God began rewriting Erik’s story—healing his past, calling him into ministry, and leading him step by step into a life he never could have planned on his own.If you’ve ever felt stuck between knowing about God and actually experiencing Him, this episode will remind you that His grace is real, His love is personal, and He can redeem any story.Join us online!🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com 💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith 💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaithWherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

What if the community you’re longing for requires courage to pursue?In this episode of the Everyday Faith Podcast, we continue our conversation with Super Bowl champion, speaker, and author Ben Utecht as we explore Pillar Four: Pursue Community. From the locker room to everyday life, Ben shares how his years in team sports shaped his understanding of relationships, collaboration, and the power of doing life together. But biblical community goes even deeper. Throughout Scripture, we see that faith was never meant to be lived in isolation—Jesus built a community of disciples, Paul strengthened communities of believers, and even creation itself reflects the power of relationship.  Together, we unpack why pursuing community requires intentionality, vulnerability, and resilience. Whether it’s making the first call, stepping outside your comfort zone, or leaning on trusted friends during difficult seasons, meaningful relationships don’t happen by accident—they’re built through action and faith. If you’ve ever felt isolated, struggled to maintain relationships, or wondered how to build deeper connections in your faith journey, this conversation will remind you that God designed us for community—and that sometimes the most powerful step is simply choosing to reach out. Because when we pursue people with the love of Christ, we open the door for lives to be transformed. Join us online!🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com 💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith 💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaithWherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

What does your obedience say about your love for Jesus?In today’s episode, we’re sitting down with Super Bowl champion and speaker Ben Utecht to explore Pillar Three: Commit to Obedience. Together, we unpack a powerful truth — that the original sin was an act of disobedience, and ever since, humanity has wrestled with choosing self over surrender. But obedience was never meant to feel like control or restriction. It’s meant to be the evidence of love. Ben shares a defining moment from his college football career when pride, injury, and identity collided — and how a bold, Spirit-led confrontation brought him back to surrender. What followed wasn’t shame, but transformation. You won’t get it right every time. But every day is another opportunity to choose surrender, deepen your love for Christ, and build your life on the rock. Join us online!🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com 💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith 💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaithWherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

What if the only thing standing between you and your mission… is waiting? In Part 2 of our conversation with R.D. Saunders, we’re moving on to the second pillar of everyday faith: embrace your mission. R.D. reminds us that every single believer has a mission. The real question isn’t if you have one — it’s whether you’ve embraced it.From powerful stories about simple obedience to raw reflections on leadership, submission, and personal growth, this conversation cuts through the excuses that keep us stuck. Waiting to feel ready. Waiting to know more. Waiting for the perfect timing.What if waiting is the very thing keeping you from experiencing the power of God working through you? You don’t need more knowledge. You don’t need a bigger platform. You don’t need a title. You need a willing heart and a simple “yes.”If you’ve been hesitating, overthinking, or wondering where to start, this episode will remind you that mission begins right where you are — in everyday moments, with everyday obedience.Join us online!🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com 💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith 💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaithWherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

Welcome back! We’re kicking off Season 4 with a powerful conversation on the first pillar of everyday faith: start with belief. Joined by R.D. Saunders — a lifelong leader and pastor who has served with EQUIP Leadership and now leads as the President of Ohio Christian University. R.D. shares his personal story of coming to faith through the sacrificial love of godly grandparents, reminding us that belief isn’t just taught—it’s caught when we see it lived out. Together, we explore the reality that everyone believes in something, but what we believe shapes everything: our identity, our decisions, our comfort, and our obedience.This conversation also dives into why following Jesus will stretch us beyond comfort, how belief grows through proximity to God, and what it looks like to keep trusting when life doesn’t match what you hoped for.If you’ve felt stuck, distant, disappointed, or like your faith is being tested—this episode will encourage you to return to the foundation: who God is, what He says about you, and why belief changes everything. Join us online!🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com 💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith 💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaithWherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

What if the harvest you’re praying for is directly connected to the seeds you’re planting right now? In this episode of the Everyday Faith Podcast, we are joined again by John and Shannon Velsor for a rich conversation about harvest season, planting faithfully, and understanding God’s timing. Together, we explore why Scripture talks just as much about reaping as it does sowing—and why harvest is not a passive season, but one that requires preparation, diligence, and stewardship. John and Shannon reflect on seasons of waiting, obedience, and unseen work, sharing how planting seeds of faithfulness, forgiveness, prayer, and trust prepares the soil for future fruit. If you’re longing to see fruit in your life but aren’t sure how to remain faithful in the in-between, this episode will encourage you to keep planting, keep trusting, and be ready for the harvest God is growing beneath the surface. Join us online!🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com 💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith 💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaithWherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

What if the most painful season of your life is actually preparing you for something greater?In this episode of the Everyday Faith Podcast, we welcome back John Velsor—this time with his wife, Shannon—for a powerful conversation about the cruciform life: living in full surrender to God with sacrificial love toward others. Together, we unpack how sowing seeds of forgiveness, blessing, and faithfulness in a hard season can lead to a true “harvest” on the other side. You’ll hear stories of unexpected provision, encouragement, and the internal transformation that happens when you ask, “God, what are you doing in me?” — not just “Why is this happening to me?” If you’re in a difficult season, waiting on God, or learning how to forgive and keep going when it hurts, this episode will remind you: what feels like punishment might actually be preparation—and resurrection can follow the cross. Check out John's Socials ➡️ https://bio.site/JohnVelsor Join us online!🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com 💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith 💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaithWherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

Are you ready for a simpler, faith-filled approach to goal setting that actually leads to growth? In today's episode, we share a practical, faith-based approach to annual goal setting that actually works. Building on our previous conversation last week about family purpose and guiding principles, we explain how to create SMART goals that align with who God has called you to be. Instead of setting too many goals and burning out, we talk about why fewer, more intentional goals - rooted in purpose and lived out in community - lead to greater clarity, freedom, and long-term growth. If you’re tired of setting goals that don’t stick and want a better way to grow in your everyday faith, this episode will help you start strong and finish well. Join us online!🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com 💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith 💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaithWherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

What if the key to setting meaningful goals isn’t doing more – but first knowing who you are?  In this episode of the Everyday Faith Podcast, we're kicking off the year by flipping the traditional goal-setting conversation on its head. Instead of starting with resolutions and to-do lists, we invite listeners to begin with identity – who God has created you to be. We walk through a simple but powerful framework for building family guiding principles, grounded in faith and Scripture. You’ll hear how defining a God-given purpose, clear guiding principles, and a daily goal can bring alignment, clarity, and consistency to everyday life – whether you’re single, married, or raising a family. This episode is a helpful starting point for anyone who wants to set goals that actually reflect their faith – and live them out every day.

What does it really mean to live a cross-shaped life when obedience costs more than you expected?Sitting back down with John Velsor - senior pastor, leadership coach, and passionate advocate for transformation in families and leaders - we dive deeper into the pillars of belief and obedience through one of John’s personal seasons. John shares how a painful season of betrayal led to anxiety, panic attacks, and what he describes as a “dark night of the soul”. But in the middle of the chaos, God met him with a deeper invitation: to live the cruciform life, shaped by the cross—hands surrendered to God and arms open in sacrificial love toward others.Together, we talk about why pursuing the right community matters, how to return to your “base” when you get blindsided, and why the turning point in healing often comes when you can not only forgive—but bless the people who wounded you. If you’re in a hard season and wondering where God is in it—or what obedience looks like when it costs you—this conversation will strengthen your faith and remind you: the dark night may not be an interruption… it might be an invitation. Join us online!🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com 💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith 💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaithWherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!

What if real growth doesn’t come from avoiding hardship, but from learning to walk through it with Jesus?This week we’re chatting with John Velsor, senior pastor in Minnesota and founder of Kingdom Leadership. John shares his powerful redemption story—from growing up in church, to running hard into addiction, to a life-changing encounter with Jesus that met him at his lowest point and changed everything.John unpacks what it means to live a cruciform life—a life shaped by the cross. Discussing belief, obedience, and why following Jesus doesn’t remove hardship, but teaches us how to endure it and grow through it. You’ll hear why comfort can be the enemy of growth, how obedience positions us for resurrection power, and why miracles often begin with problems we’d rather avoid. Check out John's Socials ➡️ https://bio.site/JohnVelsor Join us online!🧡 askaboutmyfaith.com 💙 facebook.com/askaboutmyfaith 💜 instagram.com/askaboutmyfaithWherever you are in your faith journey, you’re welcome here!
