Send us Fan Mail "From the darkness of a strip club to the freedom of God's grace, Brandy shares her remarkable journey through trauma, addiction, abortion grief, and shame—and how surrendering to Jesus changed her life." Abuse. Shame. A hidden abortion. A life that looks fine from the outside while everything falls apart on the inside. Brandy Milburn's story goes straight into the places most of us avoid, and then shows what it looks like when grace finally gets the last word. If you've ever...
Send us Fan Mail Your life can look like a war zone and still not be the end of your story. Ron Myers takes us back to Hurricane Katrina and the moment a Monday night football game pulled him into memories of floodwater, loss, and the kind of fear that makes you want to decide the ending too early. We talk about what it means to keep faith during crisis when you’re staring at debris, a diagnosis, a divorce, a termination letter, or a dream that collapsed. Ron shares vivid snapshots from the ...
Send us Fan Mail A seatbelt saved Chad Lewis’s life, but the pain that followed nearly rewrote his future. Chad joins us to tell the true story behind the nickname “Mr. Electric,” his love of music, and how a serious car accident led him into surgeries, pain management clinics, and a battle with prescription painkiller addiction that he couldn’t “power through” alone. If you’ve ever wondered how faith holds up in real suffering, this conversation doesn’t dodge the hard parts. We talk openly ...
Send us Fan Mail Some of the most worn-out Christians I know aren’t tired of Jesus, they’re tired of trying. If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I doing enough for God?” or found yourself stuck in shame, fear, or spiritual second-guessing, this conversation aims straight at that pressure point with a simple, disruptive claim: Jesus is enough. Ron Meyers shares how his early walk with Christ was marked by striving and insecurity, until the message of grace finally rewired his identity in Christ. The...
Send us Fan Mail We trade the highlight reel for the real story behind Ron Meyers, from an 11-year-old moment of despair to a life shaped by hearing Jesus say he still has a plan. We talk about hope that holds up in anxiety, addiction, and failure, and why your mess can become the message that helps someone else breathe again. • Ron’s early life in Iowa and feeling like the black sheep • The suicide attempt at 11 and hearing Jesus speak hope • Marriage, the Air Force, and be...
Send us Fan Mail Your strongest beliefs are already steering your next decision. Ron Myers digs into a question that sounds simple but can change everything: what are you believing about God, about yourself, and about what you’re walking through right now? We lay out the chain reaction from belief to behavior to movement to evidence, and why “biblical optimism” is not pretending life is easy. It’s trusting the God who is still working even when the moment hurts, feels unfair, or makes no sens...
Send us Fan Mail Grief can hit you like a wave you never saw coming. One day you’re steady, the next you’re wrecked by a song, a photo, or the silence where a voice used to be. I open with a question many of us are afraid to say out loud: what do you do when someone you love is gone, but your life keeps moving forward? And I remind you of a verse that matters when you’re hurting. Jesus wept. Your sorrow is not a sign your faith is failing. Maria Etheridge joins me for an honest, tender conve...
Send us Fan Mail One minute you are sitting at home watching a show, and the next you feel something that should not be there. That is how Darrel’s story starts: a lump under his arm, a biopsy, a pathology report, and the word nobody wants to hear. The diagnosis becomes stage four cancer, and yet what stands out most is not denial or bravado, but a steady, clear peace in his voice that makes you stop and listen. We talk candidly about what goes through your mind when life suddenly splits int...
Send us Fan Mail You can’t always control what happens to you, but you can decide what it becomes. Ron Myers sits down with Jaclyn Williams, a woman born with serious physical challenges connected to thalidomide, the drug once used for morning sickness that caused devastating birth defects around the world. Doctors told her family she might never walk or even reach adulthood. She grew up in hospitals, endured more than two dozen major surgeries, and still found a way to stand, move forward, a...
Send us Fan Mail A leather vest. Work boots. The smell of beer. A biker gets nose to nose with me in a packed nightclub and tells me he can break me like a matchstick. I do the only thing I can do: I pray. Then three words come out of my mouth that I did not plan, and the whole moment turns on a dime: “God loves you.” That true story sets the tone for a conversation about how quickly we judge people by what we see and how often we miss what they are carrying underneath. Then you meet R...
Send us Fan Mail Have you ever wondered why it takes bad news to remind us what really matters? Why do we wait to tell people we love them, pursue our God-given purpose, or slow down long enough to enjoy the life we've been given? In this heartfelt episode, Ron Meyers shares stories from everyday life, lessons from his four-year-old granddaughter, and the life-changing truth of God's amazing grace. Discover why so many people are rushing through life carrying burdens Jesus already carried to ...
Send us Fan Mail We wrestle with the question of identity and why “whose am I?” can bring more peace than any job title or success story. Benny shares how divorce, pride, and a life built on performance collapse into a moment of release and a real relationship with Jesus. • growing up in church while missing a personal relationship with Jesus • a painful divorce and the spiritual cost of division • chasing identity through a secular rock band and public approval • a business...
Send us Fan Mail A missionary story that doesn’t start with a pulpit, a seminary track, or a flawless “calling” moment can be the one that hits closest to home. I sit down with Grayson, who went back to school as an adult, found his faith sharpened through Christian education, and eventually said yes to serving in China. What follows is a vivid look at missionary life where the government is watching, gathering is complicated, and the gospel still moves from person to person with surprising s...
Send us Fan Mail We connect Independence Day stories and American history to the question that keeps us up at night: are we actually free on the inside. We trace real freedom to Jesus, not success, not politics, not performance, and we invite you to lay down guilt and live from grace. • honoring those who served and remembering freedom has a cost • asking whether we live free inside our own hearts • contrasting political liberty with spiritual freedom in Christ • Gala...
Send us Fan Mail He was a husband, a father, and a “normal” Gulf Coast guy until addiction kept taking more than he could pay. Blaine Landrum tells Ron Myers how alcohol turned into cocaine, cocaine turned into opioids, and opioids eventually turned into crystal meth, costing him his marriage, his children, his home, and nearly his life. Then came the moment he can’t forget: hungry, homeless, and eating from a dumpster in the same neighborhood where he grew up, he got on his knees and asked J...
Send us Fan Mail That feeling that whispers “there’s more” can get louder with every year you stay busy, stay responsible, and stay stuck. We start with a gut-check question: are you where God wants you to be, doing what He made you to do, or have you buried something you were created to carry? Our guest, blues rock musician Andy Watley, shares a story that hits home for anyone juggling faith, family, and big decisions. Andy grows up with music and sports, chases football, builds a life, rai...
Send us Fan Mail If you’ve ever thought, “I’m doing all the right things, so why do I still feel stuck,” this one gets uncomfortably honest. We’re talking about a truth that cuts through religious performance: hell doesn’t get removed by effort, it gets displaced by love, real love that shows up when Jesus changes you from the inside out. We walk through 1 Corinthians 13 and ask a different question than “How impressive is my faith?” Instead, we ask what’s producing our life. Gifts, kn...
Send us Fan Mail Jamie Tidwell’s story starts where a lot of people stop: homelessness, grief after losing her husband, meth addiction, and legal trouble that leaves her exhausted and numb. What caught us off guard is how God uses small, steady moments to change a life that feels beyond repair. Jamie wasn’t raised in church and didn’t even know many Bible basics, so her first steps of faith begin with a children’s Bible, patient mentors, and a growing awareness that she’s being pursued, not d...
Send us Fan Mail How much of your life is shaped by what you truly believe and how much is shaped by what you hope nobody argues with? We go straight at a hard question: are we trading blessings for approval, slowly becoming “covert Christians” who blend in so well we can’t feel our own purpose anymore? Ron Myers starts with a surprising picture a beta fish that perks up the moment it’s moved from dirty water into clean water. That simple moment becomes a spiritual gut check. When we adapt t...
Send us Fan Mail You can grow up in church, know all the right words, and still feel like you’re failing in secret. That’s why this conversation with songwriter Lewis Huggins hits so close to home. We talk about the quiet burden so many people carry: trying harder, performing for approval, and walking out of worship still exhausted inside. Lewis shares how music started as a kid singing hymns, then slowly became a way to survive insecurity, self-hate, and the pressure to be “enough.” L...
