Where Was God? Responding to Tragedy, Evil, and Pressure Through God’s Word | Walk by Faith Webinar (Apr 28)
In this episode, Tyler interviews Pastor Brian, a longtime firefighter/paramedic and seasoned pastor, about his reaction to a recent tragedy in which children were killed by their father, who also died. Brian explains that such events grip him as a father and grandfather and also burden him for the family and first responders. He addresses the question “Where was God?” by saying God is not the author of confusion; the world is fallen and evil exists, so believers must rely on Scripture to keep emotions from overwhelming them. He urges consistent time in the Word, prayer, worship, gratitude, fasting, and daily surrender to stay aligned and equipped under life’s pressures. The conversation culminates in an invitation to a Zoom webinar on April 28 at 11:00 AM CST, “How to Walk by Faith,” focused on building faith through God’s Word.

Entertainment or Hunger for God? Joshua Hoover on Faith, Authenticity, and Reaching a New Generation On the Show Up podcast, Pastor Hollins interviews 21-year-old social media minister Joshua Hoover about whether people are seeking God or just entertainment online, emphasizing faith as essential and built through the Word. Joshua describes his daily rhythm, being led by the Holy Spirit, and a mission to create “pathways” rather than temporary programs—using authentic, varied content to make Jesus viral. They discuss compassion for hurting people, the importance of family and a community of believers to “hold your arms up,” and why many young people have moved away from church: inconsistency, sugar-coated truth, ego-driven efforts, judgment without love, and a lack of replacement for what they’re told to leave behind. Joshua shares how prayer, Scripture, identity in Christ, and surrender help him endure storms, and he closes with an exhortation that viewers are seen, loved, and called to repent and follow Jesus. 

Is It Really Lack of Faith—or Disobedience? Obedience Unlocks God’s Favor
The speaker challenges believers to examine whether their struggles come from “little faith” or from living in disobedience to God’s will, emphasizing that faith will not coexist with ongoing sin. Drawing from personal experience, he explains that attending church, reading Scripture, and hearing sermons can’t replace obedience, and that choosing relationships, desires, or lifestyles God never led can bring discouragement and hardship. He urges listeners to stop seeking motivational fixes, repent, and become doers of the Word, warning that delayed obedience is still disobedience and can affect families as well. He teaches that feeding the spirit through God’s Word builds faith to resist the flesh, and encourages those who feel weak to call on God’s grace for help, trusting God to direct their path and provide what they need.

Faith in the Fight: Rita’s Story of Prayer, Persistence, and Healing In this podcast episode, the host interviews Rita about persistence in faith while also taking practical action during life’s battles. Rita shares how prayer, trust in God, and a strong church foundation helped her face devastating news when her seven-year-old daughter Jasmine was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor, including radiation and ongoing medical care, while Jasmine ultimately grew up healthy and continues to testify. Rita describes balancing spiritual warfare with educating herself, seeking top doctors, and following Holy Spirit guidance, while continuing to serve in church. She also discusses her husband Reggie’s kidney disease, how she researched treatment options, implemented a plant-based diet and lifestyle changes, and maintained faith through dialysis. The conversation emphasizes relationship with God, community support, and believing God still heals and works miracles.

What Faith Produces: Patience, Maturity & Strength Through Grief (Pastor Mark’s Testimony)
In this episode, Pastor Mark and the host discuss how faith produces patience, maturity, and character, especially through painful life situations. Pastor Mark shares how he and his wife navigated the loss of their son, explaining that the patience God worked in them was often minute-by-minute just to get through the day, and that Scripture and speaking God’s Word helped mend their broken hearts. They emphasize that without faith and God’s Word people can remain trapped in grief, while faith leads to joy and peace over time. Pastor Mark describes relying on the Holy Spirit’s power, receiving strength to preach just three days after his son’s passing, and being sustained by a praying church community. They conclude by urging viewers to be intentional now about reading the Word, praying, worshiping, and building faith before trials come.

Come Out of Hiding: Rebuilding Your Faith After Life Shakes You
The speaker encourages listeners who have gone into “hiding” after painful experiences that shook their faith—such as loss, divorce, sickness, marriage struggles, or job loss—to come back and rebuild their faith. He explains signs of hiding, including feeling rejected, fearful, embarrassed, ashamed, isolating from others, abandoning hope, and pulling away from church and community, which leaves people vulnerable to discouraging thoughts. Citing scriptures about spiritual warfare and faith, he emphasizes that God has not left or rejected anyone and that community is vital for support and encouragement. He shares his own unexpected experience needing bypass surgery and how believers around him helped him stand firm. He teaches that faith is rebuilt by hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17), invites viewers to follow along for more messages, and closes by promising prayer and urging them to cast their cares on God.

Show Up: Activate Your Faith, Press Through Resistance & Believe God for Healing (Pastor Brian Hollins ft. Pastor Mark Bennett)
Pastor Brian Hollins hosts Pastor Mark Bennett on the Show Up podcast to call believers to wake up, stand up, and become doers of the Word by activating their faith. They discuss how being rooted in God’s Word and choosing daily obedience strengthens belief, helps believers resist the devil, and empowers them to press toward the mark despite resistance. The episode emphasizes that Jesus meets people at the point of pain, offers rest (Matthew 11:29–30), and that God’s promises are “yes and amen,” including healing and deliverance through the power of the Holy Spirit. They stress the need to acknowledge the Holy Spirit as a person, walk together as believers for encouragement and accountability, and rely on faith with works. Pastor Brian shares testimonies of praying for a pastor with stage-four cancer who was later declared cancer-free and of his niece surviving a childhood brain tumor despite bleak medical expectations, underscoring their message that God has not changed and the same power that raised Jesus from the grave dwells in every believer.
