🔥 "You're not what you do. You're who God says you are."

As we close out the Fireside Faith series, Joel Hayes joins me for one of the most real and powerful conversations yet.

Joel shares how a season of sports injuries and isolation shattered his confidence… and how God used that brokenness to build something far stronger: an identity rooted in Christ, not performance.

This episode explores:

• What true identity in Christ looks like
• Why confidence comes after surrender
• How we’re called to be salt and light in our circles
• What it means to give 100% even when we feel like we only have 20
• How God meets us — and changes us — when we show up

🎧 Whether you're in a season of struggle, searching for meaning, or just need a reminder that you are deeply known and loved, this episode is for you.

🌱 God is working in your story. Don’t keep it to yourself.
Go live it. Go share it. Go be the salt and light.

In a powerful and heartfelt episode, Paityn Valentine shares her journey of moving from religious routine to deep relationship with Jesus. As a freshman navigating faith away from home, Paityn opens up about battling perfectionism, discovering peace in God’s love, and learning to listen rather than just speak.

Together, we reflect on the parable of the lost sheep, the pain and purpose of transition, the beauty of unique friendships, and how God reveals Himself through presence not performance.

🔥 We talk revival, realness, and how spiritual deepening happens not just in chapel, but in quiet obedience.

🕊️ Whether you’re feeling distant from God or just craving community that gets it, this conversation will encourage you to turn your face back to the One who never turned His from you.

📖 Challenge of the Week: Be still. Listen. Let God speak. And READ YOUR BIBLE.

What if the very thing you thought disqualified you was what God planned to use most? This week on Living For His Glory, I sit down with Avery Cap, my sister in Christ and fellow pastoral ministry student, for a powerful, real, and unscripted conversation about calling, dyslexia, and how God speaks through whispers.

From a childhood in Illinois to late-night fireside conversations in Nashville, Avery’s story reminds us that God doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called. We talk about women in ministry, battling self-doubt, uncomfortable obedience, and how every small moment, like choosing to sit with a stranger, can lead to divine appointments.

If you’ve ever wondered if God can use your weakness, if your story matters, or how to step boldly into ministry, this is your episode. Get ready to be moved, encouraged, and challenged to live relationally and love people where they are.

🕊️ Go make a friend this week. Go serve someone. That’s where ministry starts.

When the fire dies down, what remains is faith refined.

In this raw and powerful episode, Justus Buckingham joins us to talk about what it means to be intentionally quiet in a noisy world, to fast when no one’s watching, and to trust God when your soul feels empty.

We talk about the tension between discipline and doubt, the challenge of being a real Christian in a lukewarm world, and why Jesus is found not just in the highs — but especially in the lows.

If you've ever asked:

• “Where is God when I feel numb?”
• “Why don’t Christians live like Christ?”
• “Can I really turn my life around?”

...then this conversation is for you.

🔥 Plus, we tackle fasting, finances, journaling, eternal perspective, and the power of repentance that actually changes you.

💬 Listen. Reflect. Respond.

✝️ Let this episode fan the flame of your faith.

What happens when you go from rock bottom to rising in Christ?

In this episode of Living For His Glory, I sit down with my old friend Chris Barreiro to unpack a truth we often overlook: the small things matter most.

From an invite to a frisbee practice that changed his life to the culture of authentic invitation modeled by mentors like Grant Goodwin, Chris shares how God uses ordinary moments to do extraordinary work.

We talk faith, discipline, vulnerability, and the pressure of stepping into adulthood—and how showing up consistently with Christ at the center is how lives are truly changed.

Challenge of the Week: What kind of culture are you bringing into your life and how is it shaping others?

👇 Tap in and be inspired to live for more than just yourself.

What happens when your faith feels like it's failing?

The pain gets louder…
And the pressure makes you want to give up?

This week, Sam Hickman becomes the first female guest on Living for His Glory and she holds nothing back.

…only to discover the power of true obedience, community, and alignment with God.

This episode isn’t polished. It’s real. Raw. And full of redemption.
