  Episode 22: What Is Your Foundation?

  Sep 15, 202624 minS1

  Storms have a way of revealing what we have built our lives on. In this episode, Ben and Ruth talk honestly about seasons that shook their marriage, the unexpected changes they have faced, and how building their relationship on Jesus helped them stand when life felt anything but steady. Drawing from Jesus’ teaching about the wise and foolish builders, they explore what it means to build our lives on the Rock rather than things that can change or disappear. Whatever storm you may be facing, the question remains: What is your foundation?

  Episode 21: I'm Still Dad.

  Aug 27, 202622 minS1

  What does it look like to be a father when your body has limitations? In this episode, I share what disability has taught me about parenting, comparison, asking for help, and learning to be present with my children. More than anything, I’ve learned that I don’t have to be the perfect father or do everything on my own. I just need to be faithful with what God has given me.

  Episode 20: Lust, Porn, Temptation? Run straight to God.

  Aug 17, 202621 minS1

  Lust is a battle many people struggle with but are often too ashamed to talk about. In this episode, I share some of my own experience with pornography and what God has taught me about finding freedom from lust. We’ll look at Samson, David, Solomon, and Joseph to see why strength, wisdom, and even righteousness aren't enough to make us immune to giving in to temptation, and why Scripture instead tells us to flee from sexual immorality. Freedom isn’t found in becoming strong enough to resist sin on our own, but in allowing God to renew our minds, change our desires, and learning to run from temptation straight back to Him.

  Aug 4, 202611 minS1

  In this episode, I share why our stories matter and how God can use even our deepest pain to encourage others. I talk about finding purpose in suffering, trusting God through difficult seasons, and using our experiences to remind others they are not alone. Your story may be the very thing God uses to bring hope, encouragement, and healing to someone else.
