  028: He Prayed for a Hard Season. Two Months Later a Drunk Driving Crash Left Him Paralyzed.

  Aug 2, 202634 minS1

  "I asked God to present me with something hard I could grow from. I just should have clarified, let's not do paralysis." Two months before a drunk driving accident broke his neck and left him paralyzed from the chest down, 26-year-old Riley Lambert prayed for a hardship that would grow his faith. In this raw and unforgettable conversation, Riley shares why he has never once blamed God, how being forced to be still finally introduced him to the Holy Spirit, and what gratitude actually looks like on the days that simply suck. In this conversation, we explore: The Prayer That Changed Everything — how asking God for a "hard situation" set the stage for the hardest and most defining season of his life Never Blaming God — why Riley sees his paralysis as an answer to prayer instead of a punishment The Gift of Being Still — finding the Holy Spirit when you can no longer distract yourself from your own thoughts The Midwit Trap — why we overcomplicate faith, gratitude, and life when simplicity is the whole point The Hard Thing Is the Right Thing — a simple filter for discernment, from reading the Word to guarding your time on social media You are a jar of clay, cracked and imperfect, and that is exactly where His light gets in. Keep running the race, friends. We're praying for you. ✨ Shop the Mission: www.madeofclay247.com Instagram: @ madeofclay247 @ rileylambert4

  027: God Is SO Much More Than a Spot on Your Calendar

  Jul 26, 202646 minS1

  "God is not a spot on your calendar. He is the paper on which the calendar is written." Jay Owen started his agency at 17 with $5,500 in his first year. More than two decades later it's a multimillion dollar business, and he's Chief of Ministry Staff at one of the fastest growing churches in the country. But this conversation isn't really about success. It's about what it costs, what actually lasts, and the day his wife looked at him on a hotel bed and said, "Something's gotta change." In this conversation, we explore: The work-life "blender," not balance: Why balance is the wrong goal, and how to think in rhythms and seasons instead of a 50/50 split that never works. The four people every person needs: Someone to look up to, someone looking up to you, someone beside you, and someone who believes in you when you don't believe in yourself. "It's not your business to succeed": How Jay untangled his identity from his achievements and learned to steward instead of striving. Faith meets AI: The Parable of the Five Talents, the Great Commission, and where Jay draws the line between a kingdom tool and outsourcing what humans should do. The story you're telling is not your own: Why your customer is the hero, and how clarity in messaging changes everything. You are not too broken for God to use. He does His best work through the cracks. Press play, friend. We're praying for you. ABOUT THE GUEST:Jay Owen founded his marketing agency at 17 years old and has spent more than two decades helping people tell their stories with clarity, growing it from a $5,500 first year into a multimillion-dollar business. He also serves as Chief of Ministry Staff at the Church of 1122, one of the fastest-growing churches in the country. A husband of 23 years and dad of five, Jay is passionate about helping entrepreneurs build businesses that last without sacrificing their families.

  026: "We're Just Called to Love People" — Steven Bertalan on Ditching the Script and Seeing People as People

  Jul 19, 202657 minS1

  "It's not just about the bicycle. It's the fact that you're seeing the person for who they are." Steven Bertalan has spent years behind a camera telling other people's stories. But it wasn't until he fixed his homeless neighbor's bike on his own driveway that he finally understood what the gospel actually looks like in real life. No stage. No script. No motive. Just a person choosing to see another person. In this conversation, we explore: The viral bike video and what it taught him — how a simple act of seeing someone as a person changed his own understanding of the gospel Leaving church without leaving God — what it actually looks like to step away from the building while holding on to the relationship Performative Christianity vs. real faith — why "saying the right things" and "doing the right things" are not the same, and how to tell the difference The danger of transactional mission — why a scripted prayer on a street corner might be doing more harm than a quiet cup of coffee Asking questions as a spiritual practice — why Jesus answered so few of them directly, and what that says about how we should show up for people You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to show up. ✨ Shop the Mission: www.madeofclay247.com Instagram: @madeofclay247 Follow Steven: @stephenberty
