What happens when you're called to lead but still feel like you're "in the process" of growing? In this special solo episode of The Knock Podcast, Bobby takes the mic to answer a compilation of questions sent in by listeners. From the "imposter syndrome" of leadership to the practical challenges of raising a family in a "loud and busy" world, Bobby offers a raw and transparent look at his own journey of faith. Bobby breaks down the "Canoe Analogy"—a powerful warning for parents against just "drifting" with the flow of the world—and shares practical tools like Digital Sunsets to reclaim presence in the home . He also explores the rhythm of discernment, sharing a personal story about finding a long-sought answer on his own coffee table . Whether you are wrestling with doubt or trying to simplify your God-given purpose, this Q&A is a guide for anyone looking to stay intentional while answering the "knock." If this story stirs something in you—pray on it. If you're searching for more—lean in. Because God is always knocking. The question is: will you answer?   YouTube Episode: https://youtu.be/YIeiuarud8c Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4RHnXYNOrJi4H0VSxMD9V8?si=abdaced21f644281 Connect with us:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knockpodcast/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61...

What happens when a man has all the physical discipline in the world but lacks a spiritual foundation? In this episode of The Knock Podcast, Bobby sits down with the show's first-ever repeat guest, Justin Northern, to discuss the explosive growth of YOKED—a movement designed to pull men out of isolation and into intentional leadership. Justin explores the "softening" of the modern church and why men are often left feeling unchallenged. He breaks down the crucial difference between sacrifice (a concept every gym-goer understands) and surrender (the spiritual act of giving control to Christ). Using the powerful metaphor of the "Pace Car," Justin explains why a father's spiritual speed determines the trajectory of his entire household. From vulnerable stories of leading his family with humility to the "99 for the One" mentality of his ministry, Justin issues a call to arms for men to stop being "lone wolves." Whether you are a fitness enthusiast or someone looking for deeper purpose, this conversation is a blueprint for building a life that is truly "Yoked" to the Father.

In this episode of The Knock Podcast, Bobby and Gerrad sit down with Danielle Fogarty, a professional wedding photographer who spent years chasing "gold stars" and professional validation. Danielle opens up about the exhaustion of the "hustle"—shooting 45 weddings a year while maintaining a "picture-perfect" exterior—and how a season of profound "stillness" through motherhood and grief finally brought her to a place of true surrender. The conversation centers on the defining "valley" of her life: her father's battle with Alzheimer's and the miraculous ways God showed up in the midst of the fog. The conversation goes deeper into what God is currently chiseling away in Danielle—moving her from a performance-based identity to a secure foundation as a daughter of God. Danielle shares the incredible story of her father's baptism, a "full-circle" moment where, despite his fading memory, he recognized the Living Water. She reflects on her "1% surrender" in a hospital chapel and why she now views her father's passing not as a tragedy, but as a "transition to glory" and a spiritual gift that saved her own life. Bobby, Gerrad, and Danielle finish by discussing the power of breaking generational cycles and why answering the "knock" often requires us to let go of the camera and simply be still in the presence of the Father.

In this episode of The Knock Podcast, Bobby and Gerrad sit down with four-time world champion wakeboarder Kirby Liesmann for a powerful conversation about what happens when the pursuit of worldly excellence meets the radical grace of God. Kirby opens up about the "crash and burn" moments of his professional career—navigating the performance anxiety he called "the cook" and the vanity of the pro circuit—and how answering "the knock" led him to a life of total surrender. He shares the incredible testimony of his ACL being miraculously healed through prayer and the authority of the believer, proving that God's power is as real on the water as it is in the prayer room.   The conversation goes deeper into what God is currently chiseling away in Kirby—shifting his identity from "world-class athlete" to "son" and learning to lead with humility instead of self-reliance. Kirby reflects on how the "grind" of entrepreneurship and professional sports can quietly feed pride, and why he is now embracing a season of intentional rest and stillness. He also shares the beautiful story of how God orchestrated his relationship with his wife, Sydney, after he committed to biblical standards and moral surrender. Bobby, Gerrad, and Kirby finish by discussing the importance of staying focused on prayer and obedience, reminding us that true victory isn't found on a podium, but in the presence of the Holy Spirit.

In this episode of The Knock Podcast, Bobby and Gerrad sit down for a real, unfiltered conversation after hearing nearly 20 testimonies. They talk through the common threads they keep seeing—how so many stories begin with control, collapse into anguish, and ultimately lead to the same turning point: a desperate need for the presence of the Holy Spirit. As they reflect, they also unpack why testimonies don't just impact the audience—they've become a weekly reminder of where God pulled them from, and why gratitude matters without living stuck in the past. The conversation goes deeper into what God is currently chiseling away in them—identity, pride, emotional reactions, and the struggle to lead with humility instead of self-reliance. They also reflect on how athletics can build confidence while quietly feeding pride, and why their "crash and burn" seasons were necessary to redirect their lives toward God's calling. Bobby and Gerrad finish by sharing what they see ahead for The Knock—more conversations like this, bringing their wives into future episodes, and staying focused on prayer and obedience as the podcast continues to reach people in ways they may never fully see.

In this episode of The Knock Podcast, hosts Bobby and Gerrad sit down with their second out-of-state guest, Darryl Brown, joining from California. Darryl shares how his faith foundation began with a powerful example in his grandfather—a longtime pastor whose greatest desire was that his family would know Jesus. But like many, Darryl had to move from inherited faith to a personal relationship with Christ, and his path took him through identity struggles, construction culture, and a painful descent into opioid addiction that grew from prescriptions into dependency. Darryl opens up about multiple rehab attempts, the moment God met him in a desert facility during withdrawal, and how that encounter became an "unshakable faith" turning point—while also being honest about relapse after baptism and what it taught him about surrender, grace, and changed desires. Now walking in freedom with years of sobriety, Darryl's story is a reminder that God can turn the darkest detours into purpose, and that no one is too far gone to be pulled back under His wing.

Bobby and Gerrad come together for the first annual Christmas episode of The Knock Podcast—no guest this time, just the two brothers sharing a fun, honest conversation about the season. They kick things off with classic Christmas debates (real vs. fake trees, worst gifts ever, favorite songs), a few laughs, and real-life moments from what the holidays look like in their homes right now. At the heart of the episode, Bobby and Gerrad shift the focus to what truly matters—keeping Christ at the center of Christmas in a culture that often drifts toward everything else. They share practical ways they're building faith-centered traditions with their families, discuss navigating personal convictions without division, and reflect on the humility woven throughout the Christmas story, reminding listeners that Christmas is ultimately about celebrating the birth of Jesus with gratitude, servant-heartedness, and obedience.

In this powerful episode of The Knock Podcast, we sit down with Jacob Gaspard, our first out-of-state guest, who flew in from south Louisiana after feeling a clear call from God to be obedient. Jacob shares his raw and unfiltered journey from a broken childhood, addiction-filled environments, divorce, and spiritual distance… to a moment that would completely change his life forever. After being diagnosed with a degenerative form of muscular dystrophy and told he had only years to live, Jacob reached the end of himself. With nothing left to hold onto, he surrendered his life to Christ—and what happened next stunned doctors and defied medical explanation. Just 45 days later, the disease was gone. Jacob opens up about anger toward God, wrestling with faith, the fear of obedience, and how distractions—even "good things"—can keep us from God's will. He also shares what true surrender looks like, how God stripped away control, business idols, and identity, and why obedience in the moment matters more than comfort or logic. This episode is a reminder that God is always working, even when it feels like silence—and that miracles often follow surrender.

In this episode of The Knock Podcast, we sit down with chiropractor, wife, mom, and follower of Christ Dr. Megan Malone to talk about the silent battles so many women face—miscarriages, postpartum struggles, hormonal transitions, and the shame that often comes with them. Dr. Megan shares how God led her into women's reproductive health through her sister's endometriosis, how He's now stirring her heart to serve women in perimenopause, and why these physical transitions are deeply spiritual moments too. Dr. Megan reveals how isolation becomes the enemy's playground, why women need vulnerability over silence, and how husbands can better support their wives through postpartum anxiety and emotional overwhelm. She also explains the impact of something as simple as your social media algorithm on a new mom's mental health—and gives practical steps to protect your home spiritually.

In this episode of The Knock Podcast, we sit down with Travis Zessinger — a husband, father, and familiar face at Project Power — to unpack the story behind a life that looked "full" on the outside but felt empty on the inside. Travis opens up about spending more than a decade in the "lukewarm" phase of faith, believing in God but never truly knowing Him. What changed everything wasn't a rock-bottom moment, but a quiet conviction that something deeper was missing. With encouragement from brothers like Matt and Justin, a study Bible he avoided for five weeks, and a powerful encounter that shifted the atmosphere of his home, Travis finally surrendered — and life hasn't been the same since. We dive into how God has been pruning him, reshaping his heart, transforming how he leads his family, and breaking old patterns of anger, ego, and emptiness. Travis shares raw moments of conviction, the importance of solid men in your corner, the power of Scripture, and why surrendering control to God brings a freedom the world can't offer. If you've ever felt stuck, "kind of" Christian, or unsure what's missing in your life, Travis's story will hit home in a way that's honest, relatable, and full of hope.

In this episode of The Knock Podcast, we sit down with Mark Joe, whose journey runs from prison cells and compulsive lying to radical honesty, real repentance, and a bold life with Jesus. Mark shares how a moment of clarity in solitary confinement—simply deciding to stop lying—became the first step God used to completely redirect his life. From there, he describes years of searching for truth, developing a deep prayer life, reading Scripture, and eventually being wrecked by God's grace in the back row of a church service that led him to finally surrender to Jesus. Today, Mark runs Omen Coffee in the heart of a progressive city—not as a trendy business, but as a ministry ground zero. The shop has become a hub for young adults, Bible studies, baptisms, and conversations for people who are hungry for God but hesitant to walk into a traditional church. He talks about rebuilding his relationship and marriage through obedience, watching God restore what was broken, and why marketplace ministry and everyday boldness matter just as much as a pulpit. If you're wrestling with faith, frustrated with "church people," or just wondering if God is real, Mark's testimony will challenge you to open your Bible, talk to God honestly, and give Jesus a real chance.

In this episode of The Knock Podcast, we sit down with Jeff Garner — a single father, business owner, and man who has walked through darkness most people can't imagine. Jeff grew up bouncing between instability, addiction, and survival. By eleven years old he was already drinking and smoking, and by his teenage years he was fully consumed by the lifestyle he once idolized. What started as fun quickly became a prison. The hole in his heart only grew deeper, and eventually he found himself living without hope, without direction, and without any sense of freedom. But God never stopped knocking. Jeff shares how years of pain, brokenness, and near-death moments finally brought him to a point where the only thing he could do was cry out for help. His journey into recovery wasn't clean or quick, but it became the path where God met him, taught him how to surrender, and slowly rebuilt the foundation of his life. For years Jeff prayed to a God he barely understood, only to later realize that Jesus had been pursuing him the entire time. When he finally opened the Scriptures and read the Gospels for himself, everything clicked — the freedom he'd been chasing, the healing he couldn't find, and the peace he'd never experienced all made sense in the person of Christ. Jeff's story is raw, honest, and filled with reminders that real transformation doesn't happen through willpower — it happens when you finally stop running and let God take over. Whether you're struggling with addiction, battling distraction, or wrestling with what faith even means, this conversation is a powerful reminder that Jesus meets us exactly where we are… and He never leaves us there.

In this powerful episode of The Knock Podcast, we sit down with Mark Griffith — a husband, father, and minister with over 12 years in ministry — to talk about what it really means to move from believing in God to fully surrendering to Him. Mark opens up about growing up in one of the least biblically minded cities in America, wrestling with identity and purpose as a college athlete, and the defining moment that led him to say, "Yes, Lord" — no conditions attached. From battling addiction and pride to finding true freedom through confession, community, and the power of the Holy Spirit, Mark's story is a raw reminder that transformation begins where control ends. Together, we dig into topics of obedience, fatherhood, faith under pressure, and the tension between doubt and trust — discovering how God uses every season, even the hard ones, to draw us closer to Him. If you've ever questioned your faith, struggled with surrender, or wondered how to hear God's voice in the middle of transition, this episode is for you. Mark's testimony will challenge and encourage you to lay it all down and truly let God lead.   If this story stirs something in you—pray on it.  If you're searching for more—lean in.  Because God is always knocking.

In this episode of The Knock Podcast, we sit down with Mark Hynes of Welded Horn BBQ to explore how God can turn simple gifts—like great food and a welcoming table—into a ministry that binds communities together. Mark opens up about fatherhood and the honest, hard questions kids ask about heaven and suffering, sharing how those conversations have deepened his own walk. He reflects on seasons of struggle, from personal loss to the pressures of building a business, and how choosing service—feeding the homeless, showing up for neighbors, giving quietly—has become a daily act of worship. We also talk about guiding children toward a faith that's truly their own, the importance of reading Scripture in context, and why discernment matters when churches and culture send mixed messages. Mark's story is a reminder that God redeems messy lives, uses ordinary obedience, and often works through a shared meal to bring people closer to Him.

In this powerful episode of The Knock Podcast, Bobby and Gerrad sit down with Tess Boyer—a worship leader, mom, and former contestant on The Voice—to unpack her journey from chasing fame to finding complete freedom in Christ. Tess opens up about her years in entertainment, performing under the bright lights of television and the NFL, and how pride, identity, and the pressure to perform slowly pulled her away from the truth she was raised in. But everything changed the moment she fully surrendered—walking away from the spotlight and allowing God to rebuild her life from the inside out. She shares the lessons she's learned about revival, repentance, and identity, the danger of pride even inside ministry, and how God used her season of obscurity to teach her what true worship really means. Tess also vulnerably speaks about her recent loss, revealing how even in heartbreak, God's hand of protection and love never left her side.
