Today on the show, Kevin calls in to talk to me about dealing with church hurt and trauma. He's a licensed counselor himself, and finds himself counseling people through church trauma issues on a regular basis. He wants to know how to best serve those who are struggling with this kind of trauma. He's worked through his personal journey of church trauma, but as a counselor at a local church, he wants to find better tools to help those who are in the thick of it. If you find yourself walking through church trauma, this conversation will offer encouragement and next steps. Dig deeper by ordering my new book People Skills anywhere books are sold.

Jimmy Darts joins Levi + Jennie for a wild, hope-filled conversation about the behind-the-scenes heart of the viral kindness videos that have moved millions. From asking strangers for tiny favors to watching generosity "snowball" into life-changing provision, Jimmy shares how God gave him the strategy-and why he's obsessed with keeping the spotlight on everyday people who say yes.
Along the way, this episode goes deeper than you might expect: healing miracles, a Billy Graham YouTube moment that changed everything, a simple way to sort suffering and God's goodness, and why compassion (not polish) is often the catalyst for God's power. If you've ever wanted to live a more "activated" faith-this one will put gasoline on the fire.

This week, we're so excited to share something really special: a message Levi gave at one of our Fresh Life pop-up worship nights in Kalispell.
It's a word that's meant a lot to us, and we wanted to bring it here because it speaks so honestly to the tension so many of us feel-how to walk with God through both triumph and sadness.
In this episode, Levi talks about what it looks like to worship God in every season, whether you're holding joy, grief, gratitude, disappointment, or some mix of all of it. It's a meaningful, Scripture-filled reminder that we don't have to be crushed by hard seasons or defined by great ones-we can bring it all to God and find Him faithful in every part of the journey.
