This Way Podcast

What do you do when nothing seems to be happening?When you’re praying… showing up… doing the right things… and still—no change?In this episode of This Way, we step into the tension most of us don’t know how to live in: the long, quiet seasons where God feels distant and progress feels invisible.Through the story of George Müller—who prayed for decades without seeing the full outcome—and the overlooked twenty years in 1 Samuel 7, we uncover a truth we often miss:God does some of His deepest work where nothing seems to be happening.If you’ve been tempted to quit, grow weary, or walk away from the ordinary… this episode is for you.Because faithfulness isn’t proven in the breakthrough—it’s formed in the waiting.Stay in the field.

What happens when something sacred returns… and we don’t know how to receive it?In this haunting and deeply reflective episode, we begin with a story that should have ended in celebration—a century-old tradition, built year after year, collapsing in less than a minute. What was meant to burn bright instead fell silent. And in that silence, a question lingered:How did something so familiar become so fragile?From the tragic 1999 Texas A&M bonfire collapse, we turn to an ancient story with an eerily similar echo—the return of the Ark of the Covenant in 1 Samuel 6. After months in enemy hands, God’s presence comes home to Israel. It should be a moment of joy, restoration, even victory.But Scripture slows us down.Because the most dangerous moment…isn’t when God feels distant—it’s when He comes near.As celebration rises, something subtle—and sobering—emerges: familiarity without reverence. The people rejoice, sacrifice, and gather close… but in their comfort, they cross a line God had clearly drawn. And in an instant, celebration collapses into mourning.This episode explores the tension between wanting God to move for us and allowing Him to dwell within us.What happens when tradition replaces obedience?When outward actions mask inward drift?When we treat holy things as common because they’ve always been near?Through the lens of Shavuot (Pentecost), the giving of the Torah, and the outpouring of the Spirit, we’re invited to see that God doesn’t just return to be celebrated—He comes to transform, teach, and reign.And that requires more than excitement.It requires surrender.This is not just a story about Israel.It’s a mirror.Because the question still stands:Do we want God to deliver us…or to dwell with us?One feels like victory.The other will change everything.This is the way.

We love yellow roads.The ones that promise success, certainty, and arrival.The ones paved with achievement, survival, applause, and proof.In this episode of This Way, we follow two of them.One winds through France—where a survivor becomes a champion, victorypiles upon victory, and a yellow jersey begins to look like redemption itself.The other leads us into an ancient temple—where the Ark of God is captured,displayed, and misunderstood as proof of defeat.But what happens when victory masks loss?When winning convinces us we are right…whole…secure?Drawing from the rise and unraveling of Lance Armstrong and theunsettling account of the Ark in 1 Samuel 5–6, this episode confrontsthe difference between chasing wins and living in the presence of God.Because God was never in the box.He was never captured.And He was never defeated.The question is not whether we see God act—but whether we recognize Him as Lord.So ask yourself as you listen:Are you walking the yellow road toward victory…or walking with the God who is already your very great reward? 

This Easter, we step into a story told not just at the cross… but around a table.From a childhood home filled with unexpected guests…to a table where something precious is broken in love…to a table where Jesus sits with those who will betray and abandon Him…to a quiet meal where the risen Christ is finally recognized—these moments reveal something we often miss.The table was never just about food.It was about belonging.About who is welcomed.Who is seen.Who is invited to stay.And maybe, in a world where we rush past the table or sit alone more thanwe’d like to admit…this is exactly where we need to return.Because the invitation of Easter is not just to remember what Jesus did—but to come close enough to recognize Him.And to discover what has always been true:There is enough.There is grace.And there is a place for you.

In this episode of This Way, Kelly-Lynne explores the difference between faith and superstition through the story of Israel in 1 Samuel 4. From lucky charms and sports superstitions to the Ark of the Covenant itself, this episode challenges the subtle ways we can treat God like a guarantee instead of a guide. If you’ve ever expected God to bless your plans without first seeking His presence, this conversation invites you back to surrender, relationship, and trusting God beyond the outcome.

In this deeply honest episode of This Way, Kelly-Lynne shares her journey of grief following the loss of her best friend. With Scripture, story, and tenderness, she explores the biblical permission to grieve—without rushing sorrow or questioning faith. This episode is for anyone who feels the pressure to “move on,” wonders if their grief means their faith is weak, or needs reassurance that God meets us in the waters, not just on the shore.

What if the first thing God said to you wasn’t comforting—but confronting? In this episode, we step into 1 Samuel 3, where young Samuel’s first encounter with God brings not encouragement, but a heavy message of judgment for the man who raised him. Through a story of an unforgettable theatre moment gone unexpectedly quiet, we explore how meeting God rarely unfolds the way we imagine. Sometimes His voice disrupts before it restores, convicting before it comforts. This is a reflection on courage, surrender, and learning to trust that even God’s hardest words are still good.

In this episode, we step into the stillness of 1 Samuel 3 and the astonishing moment when the Lord came and stood beside a young boy and called him by name. Alongside a modern story of a woman who simply kept showing up to serve breakfast, we explore how God often works through steady presence rather than dramatic moments. With Eli’s quiet guidance and Samuel’s humble posture, we reflect on what it means to notice God’s nearness, to offer our lives in ordinary faithfulness, and to recognize that small, consistent acts can become sacred ground.

What happens when God keeps calling… and you keep missing it? In this episode of This Way, we explore the relentless grace of a God who doesn’t give up on us. Through the powerful story of David Ring and the biblical calling of young Samuel in 1 Samuel 3, we uncover a surprising truth: God isn’t limited by our weakness, our fear, or our slow response. If you’ve ever wondered whether you missed your chance, this episode is an invitation to listen again — because sometimes the call comes back, quietly and persistently, until we finally say yes.

As a new year approaches, the world rushes toward promises, plans, and pressure to improve. However, in Episode 12 of This Way, we choose a different path. No resolutions. No striving. Just renewal. Together, we step off the performance treadmill and into the quiet, sacred work God is doing within us — restoring, reshaping, and reviving the parts of our hearts we didn’t even know were weary. This episode offers an invitation to trade self-reinvention for renewal, and to discover that real change doesn’t begin on a calendar… it begins with falling in love with Jesus all over again.Here is the link to the Private "This Way Podcast" Facebook page.

In Episode 11 of This Way, we step into the shadows of Christ’s family line — a cursed bloodline that should have silenced the promise of Christmas forever. One broken king. One divine decree. One lineage seemingly cut off from hope. And yet… God was writing a greater story. As the branches of Jesus’ family tree twist through judgment and mercy, a stunning truth is revealed: the curse did not have the final word. Instead, it became the very place grace broke through — opening the way for us to be grafted in, adopted as sons and daughters into His family tree. The question remains… how are you grafted into this story and into this family tree?

In this episode of This Way, Kelly-Lynne Reimer leads us through the story of Brandon — a boy whose childhood secrets sent him spiraling into a life of crime, and whose prison cell became the unlikely place where redemption found him.Alongside Brandon’s journey, Kelly-Lynne guides us into 1 Samuel 3, where a weary priest and a listening boy remind us that God can speak through even the most flawed vessels. From Eli’s quiet counsel to Samuel’s humble “Speak, Lord,” we see how God redeems broken beginnings and reshapes our stories for His purpose.From sin to sanctuary, from silence to surrender — this episode explores the breathtaking view of a God who never stops calling.

In the stillness, God speaks—and His whisper can shake the world.In this episode, we trace two stories of divine calling: a young boy named Samuel in the darkness of the temple, and a young woman named Jackie Pullinger in the chaos of Hong Kong’s Walled City. Both heard the same quiet invitation: “Here I am.”Join Kelly-Lynne Reimer on This Way as we explore what it means to position ourselves close enough to hear when God whispers.

In a time when God’s voice was rarely heard, an unnamed prophet walked into the temple with a message for Eli, the high priest: stop giving God leftovers. In this episode, we follow his story alongside the early life of A.W. Tozer—a man with no credentials but a burning hunger for God—reminding us that what God seeks is not prestige, but surrendered hearts.

In this episode, we step into the shadows of both Scripture and history — from the corruption of Eli’s sons in 1 Samuel 2 to the courage of Corrie and Betsie Ten Boom in Ravensbrück. Their stories reveal the danger of hollow faith and the beauty of a life anchored in God’s presence. Even in the darkest places, light shines, faith grows, and hope endures.

In this episode, we step into Hannah’s prayer in 1 Samuel 2 and discover the surprising strength God gives to those who stumble. From her deep sorrow to her surrender, Hannah’s story reveals a God who lifts the lowly, breaks the power of the proud, and arms the weary with His strength. Join us as we explore what it means to walk with God when life feels unsteady, and how His presence becomes our steady ground.

In this episode, we step into Hannah’s story of surrender and trust. Amid joy and grief, we explore what it means to bring God our truest offering—not just in ritual, but in heart. From the upheaval of the world Jesus was born into, to the quiet faith of Hannah dedicating Samuel, we are reminded that worship is not about outcomes but about surrender. Even in seasons of loss, God calls us to bring what is most precious and lay it at His feet.

Listen to my guest speaker, Sheri Braun, share her story and difficult climb with Breast Cancer. Learn from her courage and her faith as we talk about hard things. It should be noted, that this episode was recorded three short weeks before she went to see Jesus.

This Way isnt' about polished prayers and a put together appearance. It is about being raw, real, and honest in the Presence of God. Hannah is an example of this, let's learn from her as we walk this way out in the presence of each other and, most importantly, in the presence of God.

Have you ever wondered what your little part could play in the big plans of God?

This Way...the way of Jesus isn't a smooth path devoid of struggle and difficulties but there is no other way, than this way, to discovering his strength, his grace, his word and his power are more than sufficient to sustain you as you walk in his way.
