Rereleasing this episode as it fits the new format. In this powerful and deeply personal episode, I had the opportunity to reconnect with a longtime friend, Kristen Campbell - a collegiate volleyball player turned mentor, nonprofit leader, and now founder of her own business. Kristen opens up about the highs and lows of her journey: from feeling on top of the world in her career, to walking through the heartbreak of infertility and burnout, and ultimately taking a bold leap of faith into entrepreneurship. Kristen shares how her unshakable faith and gift of encouragement have guided her through seasons of waiting, disappointment, and transformation. Her "One Big Thing"? Keep moving forward—no matter where you are or what you're facing. This episode isn't about having it all figured out—it's about embracing the process, showing up with palms-up obedience, and trusting that God will either fulfill the desire in your heart or lovingly replace it with something better. Kristen’s story will resonate with anyone navigating change, wrestling with uncertainty, or seeking clarity in chaos. Whether you're a parent, a spouse, a professional in transition, or someone sitting in a quiet moment wondering what now?—This conversation is for you. Key Takeaways: Why moving forward doesn’t always mean moving fastHow to listen for God's voice in the stillness and discomfortJournaling and prayer as tools for discernment and surrenderRedefining success through seasons of waiting and transformationThe power of community, encouragement, and spiritual alignment ____________________________________________ Join my YouTube Community of over 40k subscribers where you can watch all my episodes at https://www.youtube.com/@stevecampbellpr Thanks to one of my show sponsors! 💪🏼 Are you looking to get in the best shape of your life?

In this episode of The One Big Thing, I sit down with Neil Broere — pastor, writer, Bible teacher, and former missionary to Iraq — for one of the most profound conversations we’ve had on this show. Neil shares what Jesus has been teaching him in this season: union with Christ. We talk about what it really means to be in Him — not just saved by Him, not just working for Him, but living from a place of oneness where everything else flows downstream. This conversation moves deep into obedience, suffering, faith, and what it looks like to trust God even when prayers feel unanswered. Neil opens up about life on the mission field, raising a family in difficult environments, and how suffering becomes a gateway to intimacy with God rather than a sign of His absence. We wrestle honestly with hard questions: What happens when God doesn’t move the way we expect? How do we hold faith when the miracle doesn’t come? And how does suffering actually shape us into people who can carry the weight of God’s glory? If you’re in a season of uncertainty, pain, transition, or deep questioning — this episode is for you. It’s a reminder that God is still good, Jesus is still present, and your suffering is never wasted. Listen in and be encouraged — even if He doesn’t, He is still faithful. And He is still with you. _________________________________ Neil Broere is a teaching pastor at Radiant Central Coast in California, an author, and the Global Director of Becoming Love Ministries, where he helps pioneer gospel-centered initiatives around the world. Before relocating to California in 2022, Neil and his wife, Lindsey, served as missionaries in Iraq for six years alongside their four children. That season deeply shaped their faith and reinforced their conviction that Jesus is exactly who He says He is — and that a life of obedience can radically transform individuals and families. Neil is the author of Obedience, Suffering, & Reward, which reached #1 on Amazon’s Ecclesiology list and continues to rank among the top titles in the category. His upcoming book, LIMINAL: The Delicate Space Between Breaths, is scheduled for release in Spring 2026. Through his weekly devotional Between Sundays, Neil shares reflections drawn from Scripture and life experience, focusing on themes such as identity in Christ, the power of the gospel, God’s design for the church, the kingdom of God, suffering and wilderness seasons, and the beauty of communion. _________________________________ Join my YouTube Community of over 42k subscribers where you can watch all my episodes at https://www.youtube.com/@stevecampbellpr Thanks to one of my show sponsors! 💪🏼 Are you looking to get in the best shape of your life?

In this episode of The One Big Thing Podcast, I sit down with Ashley Merrick — cancer survivor, founder of United Capping, wife, mom, and someone whose story deeply challenged and encouraged me. Ashley opens up about the moment she received a breast cancer diagnosis at just 38 years old and how, instead of allowing bitterness to take root, she chose to trust God through one of the hardest seasons of her life. We talk about faith, fear, resilience, motherhood, and the powerful lessons that can come from pain when we allow God to work through it. What started as Ashley researching ways to preserve her hair during chemotherapy eventually turned into United Capping — a business and ministry that now walks alongside women during some of their darkest days. This conversation isn’t just about cancer. It’s about purpose being born through adversity, learning to look for blessings in the middle of the storm, and realizing that sometimes the hardest seasons in life become the very thing God uses to impact others.

After coming off one of the hardest and most refining seasons of my life, this conversation hit deep.

We talk about: The role of suffering as God’s refining processHow sin and shame quietly hold you back from who you’re called to beWhy many believers misunderstand God’s heart—especially around money and worthinessWhat it actually looks like to walk in freedom, not just talk about itAnd the one big thing Justin is learning right now: how to break free from shame by fully accepting what happened on the cross This isn’t a surface-level conversation. It’s honest, raw, and rooted in the reality that following Jesus will stretch you, break you, and ultimately rebuild you into who you were meant to be. If you’ve been wrestling with shame, feeling stuck, or trying to make sense of a hard season—this one’s for you. 📖 Book Reference - He Loves Me!

This brand new episode is a little different. It's been three months since I've recorded an episode and I felt the need to share my story and what God's done. There’s no guest joining me today—just me, speaking directly to you from the heart. Over the last few months, my family and I walked through one of the hardest and most humbling seasons of our lives. After stepping away from a career I thought would be my long-term security, I found myself in a place of uncertainty, no paycheck, closed doors, and more questions than answers. What followed was a season where God taught me how to truly wait on Him… not just say I trusted Him, but actually trust Him when I couldn’t see the outcome. He stripped away pride, fear, identity in work, and the need to control everything—and showed me what real provision looks like. In this episode, I’m opening up about the internal battles I faced, the moments I wanted to quit, and the unexpected ways God showed up for our family right on time. I’m also sharing how this season changed my faith, my perspective, and my understanding of what it means to surrender. If you’re in a waiting season right now… if doors have closed… if life feels uncertain… I hope my story reminds you that God has not forgotten you. My One Big Thing: Sometimes God delays what we want so He can develop who we’re becoming. 🎙️ In this episode, I share: What happened when I stepped away from my careerThe struggle of waiting when nothing makes senseHow God provided in ways I never expectedWhy suffering can produce deeper faithLetting go of control and trusting God’s timingWhat I learned about identity beyond success This is one of the most personal episodes I’ve ever recorded, and I’m grateful you’re here to listen. ________________________________________ Join my YouTube Community of subscribers where you can watch all my episodes at https://www.youtube.com/@stevecampbellpr Thanks to one of my show sponsors! 💪🏼 Are you looking to get in the best shape of your life?

This episode marks a brand-new chapter for The One Big Thing. From here on out, every conversation will center on faith — on what Jesus is teaching us in this season of life. I couldn’t think of a better person to start this new direction with than my friend Jake Kauffman. Jake and I go deep on something that every believer eventually faces: the role of suffering and dependence in our walk with Jesus. We talk about what it means to trust God when life unravels, why true transformation often comes through pain, and how the wilderness seasons of life can actually draw us closer to Him. You’ll hear Jake share his story of loss, healing, and renewal — and how God met him in the middle of it. We explore what spiritual maturity really looks like, the beauty of surrender, and why God’s favor often shows up in ways we don’t expect. If you’re walking through a hard season or wondering where God is in the middle of your struggle, I want you to know — you’re not alone. God’s not done with you. Your story is still being written. Listen in and be encouraged — Jesus is at work in your life too. __________________________________________ Join my YouTube Community of over 37k subscribers where you can watch all my episodes at https://www.youtube.com/@stevecampbellpr Thanks to one of my show sponsors! 💪🏼 Are you looking to get in the best shape of your life?
