  Don't Let the Dream Become the Nightmare

  Sep 25, 202618 min

  We all carry hopes and dreams around with us. Sometimes we even believe they will make our lives feel more complete. But what happens when those good hopes and dreams begin to carry the weight of proving our value, securing our future, or telling us who we are? In this deeply personal episode, Scott shares what happened when a dream he had carried for nearly two decades suddenly seemed possible—and then disappeared through an unexpected death. It’s an honest exploration of grief, desire, and surrender, and an invitation to both trust our Heavenly Father and pursue our dreams faithfully without expecting them to carry a weight they were never designed to bear.

  The Vows We Don't Know We Made

  Aug 17, 202625 min

  Most of us have made promises we don’t remember making: “I won’t need anyone,” “I won’t get my hopes up,” or “I’ll handle life on my own.” These hidden vows often begin as intelligent ways of surviving pain, disappointment, or loneliness—but over time, they can keep us from the connection, hope, and trust we genuinely desire. In this episode, Scott explores how these quiet agreements shape our relationships with others and with God. In the process he shares his own struggle with self-reliance and disappointment and considers what we can learn from a desperate man's interaction with Jesus. It’s an invitation to recognize the vow beneath our strongest reactions, honor why it formed, and allow the Father to lead us beyond survival and into freedom.

  When God Doesn't Fix It

  Aug 7, 202622 min

  What happens when you pray, believe, and God still doesn’t give you the outcome you desperately hoped for? In this deeply personal episode, Scott reflects on the loss of a good friend and the painful tension of trusting God when healing doesn’t come and the story remains unresolved. Through Jesus’ prayer in Gethsemane and His grief at Lazarus’s grave, Scott explores what it means to move beyond formula faith and remain with the Father when life still hurts. This isn’t an attempt to explain suffering or offer an easy answer—it’s an invitation to be an example to our family by grieving honestly, refusing to grieve alone, and discovering that even when God doesn’t fix our pain, He faithfully meets us in it.

  Stop Fixing, Start Listening

  Aug 4, 202624 min

  When someone close to you is struggling, your instinct is often to jump in with advice, correct the problem, or move the conversation toward a quick resolution. But sometimes the most loving thing you can do is simply stay, listen, and help the other person feel seen. In this episode, Scott explores what Jesus teaches us about remaining present in uncomfortable and unresolved conversations—and shares how his urge to coach, defend, or accelerate can get in the way of genuine connection with his wife and children. Because the people closest to us don’t always need us to fix them; sometimes they just need us to listen.

  When the Things You Own Start Owning You

  Jul 25, 202623 min

  Most of us don’t think our possessions own us—but what does it mean when a cracked windshield, an unexpected expense, or the pressure to be successful begins to quietly control us? In this episode, Scott shares what he learned from an interaction Jesus had with a wealthy man, a Lent experiment in buying nothing new and an embarrassing reaction to a crack in his Volvo windshield. It’s an honest look at how money, possessions, appearance, and achievement capture our attention and begin to shape our identity, often without us knowing it. At the end of the day, the goal isn’t for us to stop having things—it’s to stop letting things have us.
