Former Hell’s Angels enforcer Joby Walters shares his incredible journey from outlaw life to Jesus, redemption, and freedom. Listen to his powerful story of identity, forgiveness, and grace. What happens when the life you thought would give you freedom, brotherhood, and belonging becomes the very thing holding you captive? Joby Walters has lived a story most of us could only imagine.

What if your biggest breakthrough isn’t a dramatic life change, but simply knowing Jesus? In this episode, Karen Berg-Johnson shares how a lifelong relationship with Jesus can transform how you face adversity, grow in faith, and share the gospel naturally. Karen gave her life to Jesus when she was just four years old, and her story challenges the idea that a “real” breakthrough has to involve a dramatic before-and-after moment. Instead, Karen talks about what it looks like to walk with Jesus through every season of life, including seasons of deep adversity and suffering. She shares how her faith was tested when both of her daughters faced serious health struggles, and how she learned to trust God even when she didn't have answers. One of Karen's biggest reminders is simple: you don't have to have everything figured out before you come to Jesus. Whether you're four or ninety-four, today can be a new beginning. If you're hurting, questioning God, or wondering whether you've gone too far to come back to Him, Karen's closing encouragement is especially for you. 👉 Watch the full episode and share it with someone who needs to be reminded that Jesus meets us right where we are.

For 20 years, she served as an associate professor of art at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota, where she taught photography, directed art exhibitions, and helped students explore the intersection of the arts and a biblical worldview.

Through her leadership, relationships, and work with donors, she helped advance Pulse's evangelistic mission and raise resources to share the gospel, particularly among young people. Today, Karen serves on the Pulse Evangelism Board and remains actively involved at Grace Church in Eden Prairie.

Your breakthrough may not be the dramatic, life-changing moment you've been waiting for—it may be one small decision away. In this episode, we reveal why the biggest transformations often begin with simple, consistent steps rooted in faith, discipline, and obedience to God. So many of us delay change because we're waiting for the "perfect moment." We believe breakthrough has to be huge before it counts. But what if God is inviting you into a series of small breakthroughs that slowly transform your health, relationships, faith, career, mindset, or purpose? In this heartfelt conversation, we share personal breakthroughs we've experienced recently, from writing a book despite self-doubt to finding God's peace amid painful circumstances to discovering how daily discipline creates lasting transformation. You'll learn why breakthrough isn't measured by its size; it's measured by whether you're moving forward. Whether you're feeling stuck spiritually, emotionally, physically, or professionally, this episode will encourage you to stop waiting for the "big moment" and start taking the next faithful step today.

What does it take to go from standing at the edge of a highway at 2 a.m.—ready to end your life… to receiving a miracle heart transplant and living with radical faith? In this powerful episode, we sit down with our dear friend Phillip Gornail to unpack a story that honestly left us in awe of God’s grace.

Heart failure. And eventually, a heart transplant And yet through every diagnosis, every loss, every moment where fear could have taken over, Phil chose something different: surrender. Trust.

With over 26 years of experience in Christian radio, broadcasting, ministry leadership, and nonprofit fundraising, she has consistently pursued work that serves something greater than herself. Sixteen years ago, God redirected her path into senior living and healthcare, where she now serves as a Senior Executive Director. There, she leads with a deep conviction that people matter more than systems and that true leadership begins with servant-hearted influence. Known for leading by example, Bobi is passionate about building cultures that honor dignity, purpose, and faith. Her journey includes a defining decade-long season of waiting — believing for a promotion that never came, watching carefully laid plans unravel, and learning to trust God through delay and disappointment. That season reshaped her understanding of success, obedience, and God’s timing. Through it, she discovered that God’s “suddenly” often emerges from years of unseen preparation. A devoted mom, advocate, and leader, Bobi’s story is a powerful reminder that waiting is never wasted — and that God is always working, even when the breakthrough feels delayed.

Abortion has become the prevailing human rights crisis of our time, and many Christians remain silent. In this episode, we speak with Brian Saksa about why Christians must confront abortion with conviction, courage, and pro-life action. Brian explains why abortion is not just a political issue, but a moral and spiritual crisis—and how passive faith within the Church has allowed abortion to continue. He shares how God moved him from silent belief to bold obedience, even at personal cost. This episode is a clear call to Christians who say they are pro-life but struggle with fear, silence, or inaction. If you’re ready to understand what faithful obedience looks like in a culture of death, this conversation will challenge and equip you.

Have you ever prayed for a breakthrough, believed with all your heart, and still found yourself waiting? Still trusting. Still hoping. Still wondering why nothing seems to be changing. In this episode of Your Biggest Breakthrough, it’s just the two of us—no guest—because this conversation is for anyone walking through a season where the breakthrough hasn’t come yet. We talk honestly about what happens when God feels silent, when the miracle doesn’t arrive on your timeline, and when you’re tempted to quit believing altogether. Wendie breaks down seven practical, faith-based principles that show you exactly what to do while you’re waiting—how to stay aligned with God’s will, take meaningful action, and keep your heart engaged instead of discouraged. We also share real-life stories of delayed breakthroughs—health battles, infertility, healing journeys—to remind you that waiting doesn’t mean God isn’t working. Sometimes the breakthrough isn’t just about what God is doing for you, but what He’s doing in you. If you’re in a waiting season right now, this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and a renewed sense of hope to keep moving forward without giving up.
