In this episode of Forged, Michala and I sit down and answer the relationship questions many of you sent in. We’re not therapists. We’re not experts. We’re just two people who love Jesus, and who believe the Bible still works in every season and every relationship.

In this episode of 'Forged,' the discussion focuses on the challenges and misconceptions about marriage.  Featuring Justin and Michelle, who share their 17 years of marriage experience, they discuss the importance of understanding each other's needs, effective communication, and the impact of the 'Love and Respect' course on their relationship. 

Marriage doesn’t drift toward health. It’s built, slowly, intentionally, and over time. Joined by Danny and Jen, married for over 25 years, we talk honestly about the gap between what marriage is sold to be and what it really is once the honeymoon fades. This episode isn’t about perfection or romance, it’s about commitment, communication, timing, faith, and the quiet, consistent work that forms a strong marriage. Danny and Jen share candid stories about conflict, growth, learning each other’s differences, and choosing to keep showing up. We also talk about aligning spiritually, navigating seasons where growth isn’t equal, and the responsibility of modeling a healthy relationship for your kids. Marriage works, but only if you’re willing to do the work.

A lot of people don’t walk away from faith because they stop believing in God… They walk away because they think the Bible can’t stand up to questions. In this episode of Forge, I’m joined by Thomas Bailey from Creation Ministries International, an organization committed to helping Christians understand and defend the truth of Scripture, especially when it comes to Genesis, creation, history, and dinosaurs. Thomas shares his journey from working as an actor to becoming a communicator and speaker in the world of apologetics, with a deep conviction that truth matters and the Church has to be equipped. We talk about the message of Genesis and why it’s not a side issue. We get into the old earth vs. young earth debate, common assumptions behind dating methods, Noah’s flood, carbon-14, dinosaur claims, and why apologetics isn’t about “winning arguments”, it’s about strengthening believers and removing unnecessary barriers to faith. If you’ve ever felt stuck between what you grew up believing and what you’re hearing from culture, this episode is for you.

Guests, Andre Fontaine and Matt Allan

Welcome back to The Forged Podcast! In this episode, I sit down with Andre Fontaine for a real, honest, and often hilarious conversation about everyday life, personal growth, and what it looks like to stay grounded when things get messy. We swap stories about gym fails, garage mishaps, coffee opinions, hunting adventures, and then dig into what it means to find contentment no matter what season you’re in. It’s down-to-earth, practical, and full of those “oh yeah, I’ve been there” moments.

Malcolm’s story takes us from Pakistan to Canada,  with a whole lot of faith, culture, and deep questions along the way. In this episode, we talk about how his experiences with different worldviews strengthened his understanding of Christianity, what courses and mentors helped shape his walk with Jesus, and how the Holy Spirit plays a real, active role in everyday life. What does it actually look like to stay grounded in your faith, and how should you talk about what you believe, whether you're in a classroom, a coffee shop, or a totally unfamiliar environment.

Today’s guest, Josh Boettcher shares his journey growing up in chaos, from having demonic visitations, living in a psychiatric hospital, to the moment of absolute freedom.  How do you balance a life that moves from one extreme to another What does it truly mean to be repentant, and what are the pitfalls that “professional” Christian’s get trapped in?

This week’s episode is with Daniel Nemetchuk - he’s a mountain biker, 18–24 hour events kind of guy (yeah… wild), and now a husband, dad, business owner, who also studies and teaches Christian apologetics. We talk about everything from brutal race stories and that “push-past-the-pain” mindset, to how priorities shift when marriage and family come into the picture. We also share why risk-taking is essential for the growth of boys and men (not just on a bike), how he got into apologetics, and why defining truth actually matters, especially in the day-to-day stuff most people overlook. It’s a mix of raw stories, honest reflections, and a few deep dives that might make you rethink how you're living, leading, and showing up in your world.
