My Daughter Hijacked My Podcast: Things I’d Tell My 20-Something Self
My 20-year-old daughter, Savannah asked me to write a list of a few things I wish I could tell myself at her age. I came up with 20! Then she stole the mic, picked her favorite 8, and interviewed me.
The result wasn't as much advice as it was a confession.
We get into why I spent years waiting for someone to notice me, what it cost to care too much about other people’s opinions, why “radical personal responsibility” is impossible until you can stand to look at yourself, and the thing I’m still trying to learn in my forties — how to actually be here for today instead of focusing all my energy on tomorrow.
If you’re in your twenties, some of this might save you a few years. If you’re past them, you’ll probably recognize yourself in the parts I got wrong.
What we cover:
• Everything belongs — the failures, the detours, the flaws
• Everything is spiritual, so stop over-spiritualizing everything
• Stop waiting to be noticed. Create value instead.
• People are fickle — stop worshiping their opinion of you
• Radical personal responsibility (and why it starts with loving yourself - the whole package)
• Beginner’s mind — nobody helps someone who already has it figured out
• Moving slow in romantic relationships
• Presence — the one I’m still working on
Reborn: people you admire, and the untold stories between the highlight reels.

I Was A Pastor When I Heard The Gospel | Chris Blackeby Pt 2
In Part 1, Chris Blackeby shared the heartbreaking journey that brought him to the edge of death. A lifetime of chronic illness, devastating betrayal, and unanswered prayers left him questioning everything he thought he knew about God.
Part 2 begins with the experience that changed everything.
What followed wasn't just physical healing—it was a complete transformation of how Chris understood God, grace, and the Gospel itself.
For nearly two decades, Chris has traveled the world sharing a message that has challenged and liberated countless people: the Gospel is Jesus plus nothing.
No striving.
No earning.
No endless effort to gain God's approval.
No behavior-based spirituality designed to make you feel like you're always one step away from connection with Him.
In this conversation, Chris and Jeremy explore the religious systems that often leave people exhausted, ashamed, and constantly working toward a relationship they already have. Together, they unpack the radical idea that God's love, acceptance, and presence are not rewards to be achieved, but gifts that have already been given.
For Jeremy, this message was deeply personal. When Chris first shared these truths years ago, Jeremy was a 31-year-old pastor. Yet for the first time, he felt like he was hearing the Gospel in a way that brought genuine freedom.
If you've grown weary of religious performance...
If you've felt trapped on a never-ending treadmill of trying harder...
If you've walked away from God because religion portrayed Him as distant, disappointed, or impossible to please...
This conversation may challenge everything you've been taught.
More importantly, it may help you discover the rest, freedom, and connection you've been searching for all along.

Slowly Dying While God Seems Silent | Chris Blackeby Pt 1
For most of his life, Chris Blackeby battled a debilitating illness that doctors struggled to explain. Exposure to toxic levels of lead, aluminum, and mercury during childhood left him fighting symptoms that steadily eroded his health, yet somehow he kept moving forward.
His body was weak, but his mind and heart were resilient.
As a young adult, Chris was rapidly rising in business and on the path to making millions. At the same time, his ministry was growing as his influence continued to expand. The future seemed bright. The next logical step? Marriage.
But just as Chris was preparing to propose, he discovered the woman he loved was living a double life. The heartbreak shattered him. What years of illness had failed to accomplish, a broken heart did almost overnight.
His health rapidly deteriorated, and doctors gave him only months to live.
Convinced he was nearing the end, Chris sold everything he owned and purchased a round-the-world plane ticket, intending to spend his final days traveling. He even bought insurance to ensure his body would be returned to his parents in Australia when he died.
This is Part 1 of Chris's remarkable journey through chronic illness, heartbreak, unanswered prayers, and a God who often seemed silent.

Prison to Private Jets to Peace - Part 2 - Scott Fell's Story
From childhood neglect to prison at 15… from the Army at 17 to years of high-functioning alcoholism… to extreme wealth, private jets, and a life that looked successful on the outside —but still wasn’t enough.
In Part 2 of this episode of Reborn, we continue to unpack Scott Fell's full journey: what shaped him, what nearly broke him, and the moment everything began to change.
Because even after reaching the pinnacle of success, the pain remained. And it forced a deeper question—what actually brings peace?
Scott’s story is a reminder that your life isn’t random—it’s a trajectory. And even the darkest chapters can be leveraged for something greater.
Peace can’t be consumed. It can’t be bought. It has to be awakened—and sustained by something greater than you.

From prison to private jets to peace.

Blooming Late in Life | Why You’re Not Behind
Have you ever felt like you're late to your own life?
Like everyone around you is ahead—financially, relationally, spiritually—and you're just now getting started?
That quiet pressure can be heavy. And if you're not careful, it will convince you that you're behind… or worse, that you've missed your window.
But what if that’s not true?
In this episode, we challenge the belief that life has a fixed timeline—and that success, purpose, or transformation must happen early to matter.
Because some of the most meaningful lives don’t unfold on schedule.
They unfold through experience, failure, rebuilding, and growth.
And what looks like “late” from the outside… may actually be preparation.
We talk about:
• Why comparison distorts your sense of timing
• Real examples of people who bloomed later in life
• The hidden advantages of starting later
• How your past may be shaping your future
And we walk through 3 practical steps to help you stop looking sideways and start moving forward with clarity and confidence.
If you’ve been feeling behind, here are three things to start doing today:
1. Define your own timeline instead of living by one you inherited
2. Focus on the next step instead of the full picture
3. Limit comparison inputs that pull your attention sideways
You’re not behind—you’re becoming.
Some things don’t bloom early.
They bloom when the roots are ready.
And when they do—they last.

Not Today, Cancer - They Took His Jaw. He Built His Life Back.
At just 38 years old, husband and father of two Beau Barron was diagnosed with an aggressive and extremely rare osteosarcoma of the jaw. The only chance of survival was a life-altering surgery: doctors would remove the entire lower right portion of his jaw and rebuild it using bone from his tibia.

In this episode of Reborn, Beau shares:
• The moment he received the diagnosis
• The long road of reconstruction and recovery

• The unexpected role of ayahuasca in his healing journey
• What this fight taught him about marriage, fatherhood, faith, and the value of every moment

If you or someone you love has faced cancer, trauma, or a season of darkness, this episode will meet you right where you are.

Beauty from Ashes - Lacey's Story Part 1
What happens when love turns into control — and faith is the only thing left to stand on? This is Part 1 of Lacey’s story, a powerful journey through heartbreak, healing, and the fire that refines us.
Lacey grew up in a close-knit Southern community, surrounded by love, faith, and possibility. Creative, beautiful, and spiritually-minded, she carried a heart that saw the good in everyone—sometimes to a fault. After graduating from Auburn, she was quickly swept off her feet by an older, charming, and persistent man. It all happened so fast, there was barely time to say “no.”
What began as a fairytale soon turned into a storm of secrecy, control, and quiet suffering. After 10 years —with two young boys depending on her and a third on the way—she made the impossible decision to walk away. This is Part 1 of Lacey’s story—a story of faith, resilience, and of a woman who found supernatural rest in the midst of rebuilding her life.
