In this episode, I have a real and honest conversation with my friend Casey Rolape about anxiety, fear, and what it looks like to replace anxious thoughts with the truth of God’s Word. Casey shares from her own journey and her devotional Truth for Anxiety, giving us practical encouragement for choosing truth, and learning to walk in the peace God has already made available to us. If anxiety has ever felt loud in your mind, this conversation is for you. You don’t have to be ruled by fear, you can learn to respond to it with truth.

In this episode, we’re studying the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19. After experiencing an incredible victory, Elijah found himself overwhelmed, afraid, exhausted, and running from what was happening in his mind. What I love about this story is that God didn’t shame Elijah for what he was feeling. He met him right there- in his exhaustion, fear, and racing thoughts. We’ll talk about what Elijah’s story teaches us about anxiety, exhaustion, negative thoughts, and learning to hear God when your mind feels loud. If your mind has been running nonstop, this conversation is a reminder that God knows where you are, He meets you there, and your thoughts don’t have to have the final word.

In this episode, I’m joined by Andrew Steier for a conversation about overflow faith- what it looks like to live from what God has already placed inside of us and allow our faith to impact the people around us. Your faith was never meant to stop with you. It was meant to overflow!

In this episode, we’re rethinking what evangelism can look like -meeting people where they are, listening to their stories, showing compassion, and being the hands and feet of Jesus in everyday moments. You don’t have to be a preacher to share the Gospel. You can be the light right where God has placed you. Because sometimes the most powerful way to point people to Jesus is simply to love them like Jesus.

In this conversation, I’m joined by author Chelsey DeMatteis to celebrate her new book, Mercy in the Margin. We talk about what it looks like to receive God’s mercy in the middle of everyday life- right in the middle of the chaos, the exhaustion, the interruptions, and the moments when we feel like we don’t have enough to give. Chelsey shares the heart behind her book and reminds us that God’s grace isn’t reserved for the moments when we have it all together. His mercy meets us right where we are.

In this episode, we’re getting real about the difference between grace and mercy, why we so often struggle to accept what God freely gives us, and what it looks like to actually live from a place of grace instead of guilt, shame, and striving. You don’t have to earn God’s grace. You don’t have to be perfect to receive His mercy. And you don’t have to keep punishing yourself for what God has already forgiven. Let’s talk about what it means to stop striving, receive what God has already given you, and walk in the freedom that comes from knowing you are fully loved, fully forgiven, and covered by His grace and mercy.

We like to wait until we feel ready. Until the fear settles down, until the path is clear, until obedience feels safe. But that's not usually how it works with God. In this episode, we're talking about the moments His power actually shows up, not before the hard obedience, but in the middle of it. The step you don't want to take. The conversation you're dreading. The yes that costs you something. That's not despite the discomfort , that's where He meets you.

In this episode we look at Mary and Martha from a different angle. Martha opened her home. Mary sat at his feet. And for centuries we've been told which one got it right. But what if that's not actually the point? Because most of us are a house divided: running on Martha energy while starving for Mary's posture. This episode is about what changes when you let presence come before productivity.

In this episode, we look at the kind of faith that doesn't quit-not a feeling, not a surge of confidence, but a woman who had run out of everything except the decision to keep going. And what Jesus called it when she finally got to him. Twelve years. Every doctor. All her money. And she was worse. Most people would have accepted the verdict. She didn't. When she heard about Jesus, she pushed through a crowd she wasn't supposed to be in, grabbed the hem of his robe, and held on.

The widow of Zarephath had nothing — and God asked for it anyway. This is a story about obedience before evidence, courage without clarity, and a woman whose name we never learn but whose faith Jesus himself couldn't stop talking about.

Esther didn't ask for the crown. She didn't ask to be the one. But when the moment came, she had a choice, stay silent and survive, or step forward and risk everything. This episode sits with the story of a woman who was quietly prepared for a very loud moment. If you've ever wondered whether where you are right now is on purpose, Esther's story has something to say to you.

Rahab wasn't who anyone would have chosen. Her past was public, her reputation was settled, and she lived on the edge of a city marked for destruction. But when two strangers showed up at her door, she made a decision that changed everything. In this episode, we're sitting with Rahab's story, what she risked, what she believed, and why a scarlet chord hanging from a window became one of the most powerful images of salvation in all of Scripture.

In this episode, we're studying Ruth and letting her teach us what it looks like to sacrifice self, take risks when the outcome is unclear, and trust that your posture of faith will position you exactly where God needs you to be. She lost her husband. She left her homeland. She walked into a field as a foreigner with nothing but faith and a mother-in-law who needed her. And somehow, Ruth ended up in the lineage of Jesus. If you're in a season where you don't know where you're headed, where you're doing the right things but can't see the ending, Ruth has something to say to you.

Offense feels personal. Maybe even justified. But what if holding onto it is doing far more damage than you realize? In this episode, Nick and Kalie get honest about the spiritual, emotional, and relational cost of offense, and why the Bible treats it as so much more than a feelings problem. Walking through James 3, Proverbs, Hebrews 12, and 2 Corinthians 2, they unpack how pride is almost always at the root, how bitterness spreads far beyond the moment that caused it, and why Paul calls unforgiveness an actual scheme of the enemy. This isn't a conversation about excusing what was done to you. It's about recognizing the open door you may not even know you've left wide open, and learning how to close it.

Waiting on God can feel confusing, painful, and exhausting -especially when you’re praying, believing, and still not seeing the answer. In this episode of Everyday Faith, Kalie sits down with her friend Holly to talk honestly about faith in the waiting. From years of praying for a baby to walking through seasons that still require deep trust, Holly shares how God met her in the uncertainty. Together, they talk about disappointment, hope, wrestling honestly with God, and how to keep trusting Him when life doesn’t look the way you expected. If you’re in a waiting season, this conversation will remind you that God is still present, still faithful, and still working - even here.
