Unexpected with Hannah Love

Today I’m sitting down with Madison Watkins to talk about a testimony that is ultimately a story of God’s pursuit.

Madison grew up knowing the Lord and knowing she had been given a voice for a purpose. But after finding success through reality singing shows and pursuing a career in Los Angeles, she began to realize how easy it was to know God while still seeking the things of the world.

As opportunities grew, so did the p...

In today's episode of Unexpected with Hannah Love, Shay and I sit down with our dear friends Rebecca St. James and Cubbie Fink for a conversation about marriage, family, faith, identity, and finding contentment in every season.

Together, we talk about trusting God's timing, walking through difficult seasons, building a Christ-centered marriage, raising children with purpose, and learning that true contentment isn't found in the next...

This episode is extra special — we’re sitting down with family for the start of a new Couples Series, and it’s one of the most honest, life-giving conversations we’ve had.

We talk about marriage, communication, prayer, and what it really looks like to build a family rooted in faith — not perfectly, but intentionally.

In this episode, we cover:

• What prayer actually looks like in marriage (and why it ca...

In this second part of my conversation with Dr. Laura Sanger, we go deeper… into truth, into awareness, and into the authority we have in Christ.

This is one of those conversations that may stretch you a little—but my prayer is that it also strengthens you.

We talk about the reality of spiritual warfare, the importance of understanding what we’re up against, and how we can stand firm without fear… because we...

In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Laura Sanger, and wow… this conversation is one I’ve been praying over for a while. We dive into her testimony, the power of prayer, and what it truly looks like to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit in our everyday lives.

This episode is a reminder that God is still moving, still healing, and still inviting us into deeper relationship with Him.

✨ In this episode, we talk a...

The new year is already here, and let’s be honest—many of us are stepping into it feeling behind, uncertain, or even overwhelmed. But what if we paused the pressure of goals and resolutions… and simply asked God what He wants for us?

In this episode, I’m sharing what I felt the Holy Spirit speak over this new year—and how we can all invite His voice into our plans and paths for 2026.

There’s a hun...

This episode holds a piece of my heart.

It’s the story of Mrs. Margaret — a quiet, faithful neighbor who walked our street daily and became a friend I grew to love deeply. In her final days, God allowed me the gift of being present with her… and the honor of sharing the love of Jesus in one of the most holy, tender moments I’ve ever experienced.

In today’s episode, I share:

• The importance of creating m...

This one was fun, y’all. Shay and I sat down over coffee and caught up on everything from our Facebook Marketplace finds to raising kids with grit and grace. We talked about parenting, marriage, farm life, and a few of our wildest antique “treasures.” (TicToc and OnlyGrans may or may not be our next big ideas…)

There’s a lot of laughter in this one—but also some sweet reminders of the joy in ever...

This episode was such a sweet one. I sat down with my friend and producer, Joe Cline—someone who knows me well behind the mic—and we had a real, unscripted conversation about seasons, stillness, and how we hear from God.

Joe shares his experience of pressing pause on his own podcast to make space for deeper listening and obedience. Together, we explore what it means to sense transition, to recognize the Holy Spirit&rsquo...

Today I’m sitting down with my dear friend Beth Barcus, someone who has walked with me for nearly a decade and played a huge role in the birth of this very podcast. Beth is a “porter” with Porter’s Call—an organization dedicated not just to counseling artists, but to truly walking with them in a relational, life-on-life way.

In this conversation, Beth shares the story behind Porter’s Call, the mea...

Y’all… I’m so excited about today’s guest! I’m joined by the one and only Jo Dee Messina, whose music was the soundtrack to so many of our lives — and now, her testimony is just as powerful.

Jo Dee shares openly about her journey from the height of country music success to a deeply personal encounter with Jesus. We talk about identity, healing, surrender, and how God will meet you in even th...

“The deepest thing is having a life partner.”

In this episode, Shay and I sat down for something a little different — a rapid fire Q&A (that turned into a heartfelt conversation, of course).

We talk about the funny, the messy, and the meaningful — from who takes longer to get ready, to what marriage has really taught us about love, faith, and vulnerability.

In this episode, you’ll hear us talk about:

•...

“I didn’t find God. He found me.”That simple, beautiful truth was the moment everything changed for Ben Fuller.

Welcome back, friends! Season 2 is here, and I couldn’t be more excited to start it off with a conversation that is so close to my heart—family culture.

We’re back for part two of the postpartum conversation, because let’s be honest—there’s a lot to unpack. In this episode, I dive even deeper into the emotional and physical shifts that come after having a baby, the things that caught me off guard, and what’s helped me the most in this season.
