But Now
Sometimes the most powerful shift in life begins with two simple words: But Now.
In this opening episode of Season 5, we explore the identity pivot found in Isaiah 43:1. Before God addressed Israel’s circumstances, He reminded them who they were. Created. Redeemed. Called by name. His.
Through a deeply personal story from an adoption event and reflections on childhood voices, belonging, and transformation, this episode confronts one of the deepest battlegrounds we face: identity.
Many people are still organizing their lives around survival seasons, old labels, and voices that no longer have authority. But now invites us to move forward from a new foundation.
In this episode we explore how identity shapes confidence, purpose, and discipline, and why growth begins when we stop fighting surface symptoms and start confronting root issues.
If you've ever struggled with past labels, self-doubt, or defining yourself by old seasons, this episode will help you realign with who God says you are.

Get a Grip
What does it really mean to “get a grip” in faith?
In the Season 4 finale of Take the Pressure Off, we explore the difference between gripping in anxiety and gripping in faith. Through personal stories of parenting, leadership, football lessons, and marriage, this episode unpacks how to loosen control, break anxiety’s grip, and rest in God’s steady hold.
Anchored in Isaiah 41:13, this episode brings together the lessons of the season, pace, pressure, boundaries, seasons, and surrender, and reminds us that we are not holding our lives together alone. We are already being held.
If you’ve been carrying too much or gripping too tightly, this episode will help you move forward with steadiness instead of strain.
