Gary Jepsen resisted going live for a long time. Then he finally hit the button. At his first Friday night Facebook Live, a woman with a torn meniscus was walking without pain or a knee brace by the end of the 45-minute call, and everyone who asked received prayer or a prophetic word. In this Igniting Vision call, Ryan and Gary build out the strategy behind it. They cover how a single weekly live can become a podcast, YouTube content, and an email-list builder all at once, plus how Gary is moving his coaching from one-on-one sessions to a growing group community. Along the way, Gary shares the story that launched him into ministry and simple, practical teaching on hearing God's voice. Find Gary at https://garyjepsen.com/

At five years old, Shawn Kennedy pretended her bedroom was full of people, and she was helping them heal. She knew she'd write a book one day. Then came decades of trauma, mental illness, addiction, and a learning disability that convinced her she was "dumb and stupid." In this episode, Shawn shares how God never let go of that dream, how a lie finally broke, and how she wrote not one but two books, including a Bible study for women healing from trauma. If you've got a story inside you and a voice telling you that you can't, this one's for you. Content note: This episode includes discussion of sexual abuse, suicide, and addiction.

Lachele Bryant spent 35+ years in law enforcement investigating crimes against children and 11 years sitting on a word from God. In this Igniting Vision call, she opens up about the vase she wrote on in 2015, the family gathering she finally hosted a decade later, and the ministry, She Is Becoming, now taking shape because of it. Lachele and Ryan talk honestly about disobedience, timing, and what it looks like to finally do the thing you already know you're supposed to do.

Cassandra is a ranch wife and homeschool mom of five who said yes to a message before she had a plan, a platform, or even confidence she was "the teacher" type. Holy Spirit told her to start a YouTube channel so she did, with zero clarity on what would come next.    In this episode, she shares the message on her heart for women everywhere: God is not disappointed in you. He's not waiting for you to get it together. He loves you because you're His. We talk about obeying before you have it figured out, why keeping things simple has been her secret weapon, and what it looks like to build something real, one small step of faith at a time.

In this Igniting Vision episode, Catherine Bass shares how losing her husband in a sudden accident led her to a moment in the hospital that changed everything and how that moment became a calling to help widows rebuild. From writing her story to launching TikTok in her grief to building a business around financial and emotional healing for widows, Catherine's journey is a powerful reminder that you don't need everything figured out to start. You just need to take the first breath. Connect with Catherine at https://www.catherinebass.com/

For 25+ years, Shirley Corcoran has lived with multiple sclerosis — and for the last several, she's done it from a wheelchair. In this Igniting Vision coaching call, Shirley sits down with Ryan to unpack how a quiet whisper from God — "let them know their power is in their words" — turned into a full-blown ministry. That whisper became In the Spare Room: a monthly, physically mailed letter written in the voice of Margaret, a 61-year-old woman navigating retirement and asking the question so many people eventually ask — who am I now, if nobody needs me the way they used to? Ryan and Shirley talk through the whole journey inside Kingdom Launchpad: how the idea finally clicked after years of "having the pieces but not knowing how to put them together," how she's using AI as a creative thinking partner named Clara, the moment a subscriber told her "I don't know how you got into my soul," and the very next step Ryan helped her map out live on the call — an online version of her Bible study, built on a simple landing page and email follow-up. This is a coaching call about what it looks like to build something real without waiting for full health, full clarity, or a full plan. Just the next faithful step.

This is a new kind of episode for Unleashed - an Igniting Vision call. These calls are coaching sessions for the person Ryan's interviewing, but the heart of it is for you. Watching someone take what's on their heart and turn it into something real — piece by piece — is exactly how Ryan learned to grow his own business, and that's what unleashes an audience: seeing it happen in someone else's story first. His first guest: Tim Taylor, a Kingdom Launchpad student and longtime friend from their Amazon days. Tim pivoted out of nearly 20 years of e-commerce into CalmBookedSafe, a pet-sitting business near St. Louis and this conversation is a real coaching session, not a polished recap. Here's what you'll walk away with: How Ryan is introducing Igniting Vision calls, a new coaching-style format for Unleashed How to pivot into something new without overthinking the next step God's already put in front of you What it actually looks like to build out an email list, lead magnet, and website from scratch How to grow a community and use Facebook ads to reach the right people How to spot platforms and partners that already reach the audience you're trying to serve and reach out Find Tim at CalmBookedSafe.com.

This week Ryan takes listeners on a journey back in time — literally. Picking up a journal he started writing in 2012, he shares entries from some of the hardest and most formative seasons of his life: navigating business uncertainty, walking through loss, and sensing God speak the simple but powerful words, "I am your source." Along the way, Ryan discovers something else in those old pages — the earliest signs of the calling he's living out today through Kingdom Launchpad: a passion for helping people ignite their ideas and step into what God has placed on their hearts. It's a powerful look at how God's faithfulness and your calling are often written long before you fully see them. Ryan also shares an exciting new offering...free coaching calls for those with a dream on their heart. If that's you, email [email protected] to be considered.

What if the things that have always fascinated you aren't random at all? In this episode, Ryan sits down with Steve Uppal, senior leader of All Nations Church in Wolverhampton, UK, and apostolic leader of the All Nations Movement. Steve shares how paying attention to your passions, your gifts, and even the injustices that make you angry can reveal what God wrote for you long before you were born. The conversation moves from personal calling to the state of the church. Steve opens up about the day God told his multi-site, multi-campus church they were "not fit for purpose," and the prayerful, careful dismantling that followed. He and Ryan talk about laying the foundation of Christ, why so many believers never step into their own work of ministry, and what a fresh reformation might look like in our lifetime. You'll also hear stories of ordinary people turning their workplaces into mission fields, and why you don't need a platform to be faithful with the people already in front of you.

Have you ever felt the nudge toward something — a book, a calling, a dream — and just... not moved? In this episode, Ryan unpacks a single verse from 1 Thessalonians 5 that stopped him mid-reading and reframed everything he does through this podcast. Feeling inadequate isn't disqualifying — it's actually one of the most common things Ryan hears from people on the edge of stepping into what God called them to. If that's you, this episode is a simple, honest push to stop waiting and take one small step today.   Start your Free Trial of Kingdom Launchpad - https://www.skool.com/kingdom-launchpad-6884/about
