  • Love covers. When God gave us his Son Jesus, who gave his life to pay for our sins, He covered us. It’s the opposite of exposing and shaming. Sadly, it seems to be the opposite of what people often do. And yet this is what God has called us to do for others, in small ways and big ones.

    Join me for a special conversation with my wonderful husband Pastor Gary Coiro as we talk about the difference between cancel culture and cover culture.

    “Above all, love each other deeply because love covers a multitude of sins.” - 1 Peter 4:8

  • Passion City Church has birthed some special artists and music that have been a light to my path. I’m so grateful for them. One of my favorites is Kristian Stanfill. He’s a gifted worship leader, singer/song-writer and he‘s been a part of my regular playlist for years now. But Kristian has been in a personal battle, that until November of last year, was a private one.

    How do you heal from a personal addiction to alcohol, when you’re a public worship leader? Kristian joins me for an encouraging, honest conversation about real life and a real God who helps us in our darkness. He has been sober for 2 ½ years now, but he has learned some important things along the way about healing and the love of God.

    I am so honored to share this important conversation with you and I hope, as I know Kristian does as well, that it helps others who are struggling too. You can make it out alive... and if you trust the process, God will bring healing and joy back into your life.

  • When Sandy Hartranft’s youngest son Ben was 3 years old, she walked into the dining room and could hardly believe what she saw. Ben had climbed up on the table and was literally swinging from the chandelier! With incredible humor, faith, and wisdom, Sandy shares her story of discovering her son had autism. How this amazing family has navigated the force of energy that is Ben, is inspiring. Ben is now a young man with hopes and dreams and an irresistible joy, and he’s even become a public speaker/advocate for people with autism. But the journey began with a mom who had to let go of what her idea of her family might be and learn to trust God with something even better.

    In this warm and wonderful conversation, Sandy shares her story and her advice to other families on this journey too. I love this family so much and I know you will too.

    You can find joy in the journey of autism. You just might need some help from someone who’s been there.

  • Christy Nockels is one of my favorite singers ever. Period. I fell in love with her voice from her days with Watermark, the popular duo with her husband Nathan. It was in the late 90's/early 2000’s and I was just beginning to really get into Christian music. Christy had this elegant and humble way of inviting me into a sacred space. She never over-sang. She just seemed to know what to do with every song she sang. To connect you to God seemed to be her agenda and for me, it just clicked. That gentle, honest, gorgeous voice has been singing over my life for decades.

    Christy has recorded many solo albums, been a founding member of Passion City Church, and sang with so many artists- you know her voice. You just might know her name. How did she do that?

    I am convinced it’s that unique ability she has to lead people in worship and almost disappear from the spotlight herself. There aren’t many like her...

    Her latest project, “This is the Hour”, is the most beautiful worship album I’ve heard in a long time and is one of my all-time favorite albums. For real.

    I can’t believe I get the honor of talking to Christy... and I get to share this conversation with you! I will try not to fan-girl too much because clearly, Christy is not about that.

  • Does a white man have a voice in the conversation around racial reconciliation?

    How can I be a bridge-builder if I don’t live near people who look different from me?

    What is God calling ME to do to help bring unity and healing to our world?

    20 years ago, Dr. David Anderson introduced the world to the concept of “Gracism-the Art of Inclusion.” Because how we talk about race has changed since 2007, the revised and expanded “Gracism”, has just been released. A mentee of Dr. Anderson, my friend David Heiliger has been learning and joining in this important work around the world.

    Join me and my special guest David Heiliger, Pastor of Multi-Cultural Bridge Building at Bridgeway Community Church for an honest conversation about the racial divide in our world and Jesus’s heart to heal it. We all have a part to play.

  • ...And I hope that failure comes your way

    And shows you there's a limit to your own strength. Til you can't help but offer other people grace, Yeah, I hope that failure comes

    That's what I wish for you

    What I hope you find

    May it all come true

    Knowing sometimes good things come from suffering

    Yeah, sometimes good things can come from suffering..."

    Jason Gray's lyrics for a song he wrote for his kids may make you flinch at first - but he knows the treasures God can bring through our failures. From the complex relationship with his own father to his painful divorce, Jason has found forgiveness and faith coming alive again and the healing that comes when we tend to our wounds.

    Join me for an honest conversation with one of my favorite songwriters. Jason has been through a hard season and God is just showing him more of what love and grace really are.

  • If you saw the movie "Jesus Revolution" chronicling the life stories of Greg Laurie and Chuck Smith, you'll be fascinated to hear how Kathy Gilbert's story intersects.

    Growing up in a conservative Catholic family in Maryland in the late 60's, Kathy was searching for answers to life's deepest questions. She thought the hippies had the answers and she left home to join a commune. Traveling across the country as a teenager, Kathy hitchhiked, experimented with drugs, and stayed at different communes trying to find what her heart was longing for. After a few close calls with danger, Kathy landed at a place called Shiloh in Oregon. It was there the Jesus revolution met her face-to-face and changed her life.

    I can't wait for you to meet this amazing woman! Kathy Gilbert has quite a story to tell of this tumultuous time in our country but also an amazing move of the Holy Spirit to draw young people to Christ.

  • Helen Smallbone is the mother of 7 kids, some of who have become quite famous. Rebecca St. James, her oldest, and Luke and Joel of For King and Country have experienced and are experiencing success in the spotlight.

    But Helen Smallbone is a mom who has more fear of success than failure. Join me for a conversation with a very wise woman who has navigated an unconventional life of faith with her extraordinary family. From times when the family didn’t know how they’d have a roof over their head, food on the table, or how they’d get around, Helen has many lessons to share about trusting God to be our Provider.

    I was absolutely riveted by her memoir, “Behind the Lights” but forever impacted by her faith. I can’t wait for you to meet her!

  • I host the morning show on BRIGHT-FM and I get to play so much great music. But this song “Build a Boat” by Colton Dixon, is the one I get the most emails and texts about. It has struck a deep chord with our listeners and with me personally.

    The wonderfully gracious and humble Colton Dixon joins me on the podcast this week! We talk about life, being a dad to twin girls, and his music career that God directed in a new way, after a heartbreaking season of disappointment.

    There are those times in our lives when we need the faith and radical obedience of Noah, the kind of crazy faith that makes us build boats when it never rains. Maybe you’re in one too? Join me for this encouraging conversation with Colton Dixon.

  • Meet my friend Eric Buarque. Eric never thought about acting as something he’d want to do until people started mistaking him for a very famous actor. And he wondered, is there something to this connection? Could I leverage how I look to break into the movie business?

    Thirteen films and twenty commercials later, Eric had a long, wonderful run in the industry with the most unique role: Bruce Willis’s body double.

    He shares his fascinating story of what he calls God’s favor... For years, Eric traveled around the world and experienced the thrill of being in big-budget films, acting, and occasionally doing stunts, all as Bruce Willis’s body double.

    With Bruce’s illness recently announced, Eric has nothing but sincere gratitude and prayers for Bruce and his family as they navigate this difficult journey.

    Join me for this fascinating conversation with a man who might look a lot like Bruce Willis on the outside, but on the inside, I think Eric looks like Jesus.

  • Ever had a panic attack? Jeremy Camp knows what it’s like. His new song “Anxious Heart” starts like this:

    Locked up and I'm so in my head

    Heart starts racing and I can't slow it down

    Hands shaking and l'm losing my breath

    Paralyzed with a mind spinning out

    My strength has grown weak

    No words left to speak

    I fell to my knees

    Cause I know what I need.

    It happened on a trip to Israel when Jeremy felt those feelings. He felt like he was dying. What was going on? He had a lot of questions and thankfully, he knew where to take them. The Lord showed Jeremy how he had been hiding fears on the inside that were manifesting in this anxiousness of heart.

    Having dealt with anxiety in my own life, those lyrics hit so close to home. Can you relate? Join me for an unforgettable conversation with singer/songwriter Jeremy Camp who shares how the Lord showed up for him...not with judgment, frustration, or disappointment, but in love.

  • Andrew Ripp is not an overnight sensation. He’s been at this songwriting thing for years now, achieving success in 2005 by co-writing the hit “Shine On” for Ryan Cabrera, and collaborating/ writing for Cory Asbury, The Wait and Ben Rector, The Judds, and others. But success came at a cost. A personal battle with addiction cost Andrew almost everything that mattered to him.

    But God...

    Andrew gave his life to Jesus and his story is just getting started. Celebrating 15 years of sobriety, Andrew has found a new kind of freedom, success, and sweetness in life in this season. His songs like “Fill My Cup” and “Jericho” have become anthems for those of us who have fallen in love with Jesus and are amazed by how He changes everything.

    I am so excited for you to meet Andrew Ripp! He’s my guest on the podcast and he has an amazing story of God’s intervention in his life.

  • Esther Brant has been a dedicated nurse for over 30 years and she just glows from the inside! A woman of tremendous faith and joy, with a giggle that bubbles up so easily and often, you’d never guess how much loss she’s suffered or how humble her beginnings were. When a crippling disease devastated multiple members of her family, Esther grieved and discovered God had a purpose for her amid her family’s suffering.

    She knew she had to help. She knew God was calling her to be a nurse. Growing up in a poor undeveloped village in the Bahamas, the odds were stacked against her but Esther prayed... “and I began thinking about all the people in the world I would help”.

    For anyone who has grieved hard and wondered how to hold on to their faith, Esther’s story is a master class in trusting God. I can’t wait for you to meet her on Your Day Brighter™.
