We talk about our favorite Christmas traditions (and least favorites), whether Christians should celebrate Santa or not and we talk about biblical generosity.Christmas is a wonderful time to think about true generosity and especially what the Bible says about giving to others. In a world of social media, is it ok to post about your acts of generosity or is it better to not let your right han...

Life is hard. There is just no way around that truth. Things are going to happen that catch you by surprise and maybe even knock you off your feet and some of those things might be the consequence of sin that either you committed or sins that others committed against you. The deciding line is how you handle those moments. Your choices matter and when it comes to life, our choices have eternal impact. I loved hearing Rochelle's story of the grace of God in her life when she found herself single a...

My goodness this podcast is a gift! I have such respect for missionaries but these stories blew me away. Sara Michalski is a true hero of the faith and my faith was so encouraged just hearing about the way that God met her so many times at just the right moment. It has built my faith in PRAYER and listening to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. It built my faith in obeying the still small voice even when it feels uncomfortable because God may have a miracle in mind. You need to listen to this pod...

Adriana is a wonderful woman of God and I am thrilled to share her story on my podcast because she is a shining light for Jesus. Following Christ isn't about having the perfect or even good life, the point is that you can experience the goodness of GOD through the trials that come to every life. Life is a gift from God and He will be with you through it all, the good days and the bad days just the same. God is a faithful friend and when we go through life's challenges we have a friend who sticks...

Pastor Ben Sterciuc is a man of God who fled communism as a young man, came to America and has served as a pastor here in WA and also runs a ministry called Vital Solutions. He is a true hero of the faith. I loved hearing him tell the story of how God called him to start the Awaken Seattle Prayer Initiative 9 years ago. I believe that prayer initiative is bearing fruit all around Seattle and the suburbs of Seattle today. Our prayers are never in vain and are continually before the Father in Heav...

One thing I love about the Lord is that He is so patient and long suffering with us. I loved sitting down with my new friend Mechelle Allen and talking with her about the things that she has gone through and how God's hand has been upon her all her life. It's evident as you listen to Mechele that Maybe there will be parts of her story that you will relate to and maybe you will learn something new about yourself or about God as you hear how He worked in her life. Thanks for tuning in! Enjoy this ...

I wanted to share with my viewers some things that I am loving right now and that bring me peace. We are human beings, not human doings and I believe the Lord is calling us to be with Him more than we do for Him. What are you loving right now? What is bringing you peace and contentment and joy? Are you experiencing the abundant life that is offered to us in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? Have you been treating Jesus more like an employer than a friend? Are you enjoying the presence o...

It was such a treat to sit down with Breezy Royal. She is such a bright light for Jesus and her vulnerability to share things she has walked through is admirable and I know will be so helpful to walk others to a place of healing and deliverance. There are many things that can be a foothold in people's lives for the devils work, even in the lives of believers in Jesus. When Jesus died on the cross, He purchased our freedom. Are you living the abundant life that Jesus died for? Do you need greater...

A Journey of Regeneration with Sondra McKinney and Pastor Troy Pomeroy. It is true that as Christ followers we are being regenerated every day and we call that sanctification. Sanctification is the constant process of being renewed and transformed into the likeness of Christ every day and that is what the christian walk is all about.

Jay and I LOVED the opportunity to sit down with Seth Gruber on the 10.10 Podcast! Courage begets courage and Seth has brought courage to us and to so many who follow him. I am grateful for Seth's willingness to speak truth in a culture that hates truth and hates those who speak it. I pray that this podcast stirs up a fire in every believer who listens and that each of us would be motivated to use their own platform and influence to speak truth and stand for life. Seth shares about The White Ros...

What a fun conversation with these amazing godly women. Proverbs 31:30 says that Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. We talk about what godly women and men should be pursuing and things that really matter in life. 2 Corinthians 4:18 says "while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal." There are a lot of things we c...

I am so glad to have Jordan Shipley as my guest on the 10.10 Podcast. Jordan and I talk about life, ministry, family and he shares about the journey of losing both his mom and dad within a very short period of time. Loss is a part of every life and its an area that can be hard to be open and honest about and I know that men and women process loss differently so I pray that you all learn something new about God and about processing grief as you listen to Jordan's story.

I loved sitting down with my long time friend Jessica Downs as she shared about their journey of infertility, IVF and motherhood. I know you will be inspired, encouraged and will think deeply about the things that she has to share. Every human has struggle and pain and most of the time the pain and struggle is hidden from most people's view and we think that everyone else's life is problem free!! That is why there is so much healing and truth when we let people into our vulnerable situations. I ...

Happy 2024! It is good to look back and reflect on what God HAS done as well as looking ahead and praying about what God WILL do. Living in America, we are so blessed even on our worst days. We live in such comfort and convenience in our daily schedules and in fact if we are honest with ourselves, we pursue COMFORT above all. Does that ring true in your life? Are you making COMFORT an idol in your life? What does that even look like? What does God say about that? As this new year is unfolding, l...

Jeremy Vallerand is the President and CEO of Atlas Free, an organization that works to free those who are exploited by sex trafficking.
