In this first episode of Called & Courageous, I share my personal journey of radical obedience—how saying “yes” to God cost me comfort, control, and certainty, but gave me purpose, clarity, and a front-row seat to His faithfulness.

From a 20-year career in the financial industry to being called into ministry through The 1 and Only Publishing, I open up about the trials, warfare, and sacrifices that came with my “yes,” and how God turned them into a 10-year vision to impact lives through 555,000 books.

If you’ve been delaying your God-given assignment—whether it’s writing a book, starting a ministry, or stepping into your calling—this episode will encourage you to trust God’s timing, surrender completely, and walk boldly in obedience.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why obedience to God often feels inconvenient but leads to breakthrough
  • How God used a dream to confirm my assignment
  • The unexpected events that pushed me into my calling
  • The importance of surrendering your plans for His purpose

💡 Remember: Obedience is the new success, and your story is proof.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
