After nearly a year of silence, Encouraging Others Through Christ is back.
This episode wasn’t recorded in a studio. It was recorded on a walk with Stephanie—just the two of us moving through our neighborhood, moving through our story, and moving back into this space of sacred conversation.
We didn’t plan a grand relaunch. We just hit record and let the truth come through.
In this episode, we reflect on:
- Why I pulled the podcast from public view (and what’s changed since)
- What it’s cost me—energetically, financially, and creatively—to hide my spiritual frequency
- How Stephanie and I navigated the dissonance of institutional church, performance-based Christianity, and the call to live untamed
- The story of the “money truck,” our business journey, and trusting divine provision
- Why I no longer believe it’s sustainable (or aligned) to be a mystic under the hood
You’ll also hear us laugh, take a bathroom break at my parents' new house, and toss around phrases like “feral Christian.” (Yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like—and yes, that’s an episode of its own coming soon.)
This conversation is the kind of unfiltered, raw, relational presence I’ve always dreamed this podcast would hold. Not performance. Not production. Just Presence.
We’re back.
And we’re not hiding anymore.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
