Ana Cristina Cash: I Saw An Angel & It Spoke To Me
<p>This week on The Upload, Brooke Taylor and Pastor Mark Evans sit down with singer-songwriter <strong>Ana Cristina Cash</strong> for a heartfelt conversation about faith, motherhood, identity, and learning to find your worth in Christ—not in your accomplishments.</p> <p>Raised in a Cuban-American family and signed to her first record deal at just 15 years old, Ana Cristina shares how faith has been a constant thread throughout her life. From growing up in Catholic school to experiencing powerful moments with the Holy Spirit, she opens up about a vivid dream she had as a teenager that forever shaped her belief in God's presence and guidance.</p> <p>Ana Cristina reflects on the challenges of balancing music, marriage, motherhood, and life in the public eye. She shares how becoming a mother changed her perspective on faith, purpose, and what truly matters—and why protecting her children's hearts in an increasingly digital world has become one of her greatest callings.</p> <p>The conversation also explores:</p> <ul data-spread="false"> <li>Hearing from God through dreams and spiritual experiences</li> <li>Raising children with faith in a technology-driven culture</li> <li>Why comparison is one of the greatest threats to peace</li> <li>Finding identity outside of your career and accomplishments</li> <li>The importance of prayer, Scripture, and daily conversations with Jesus</li> <li>Navigating public perception while staying true to who God created you to be</li> </ul> <p>Ana Cristina also opens up about one of the most difficult seasons her family faced after her son was diagnosed with hemophilia. Through fear, uncertainty, and countless doctor's appointments, she shares how faith carried them through and taught her to trust God even when life didn't make sense.</p> <p>One of the most powerful moments of the episode comes as Ana Cristina reflects on losing a record deal at a young age and wrestling with a difficult question: "If my voice was taken away, would I still be worthy of love?" Through her faith journey, she discovered that her value was never found in her talent, success, or public recognition—but in who God says she is.</p> <p>Honest, vulnerable, and full of wisdom, this episode is a beautiful reminder that our identity isn't found in what we do, but in whose we are.</p> <p>🎧 <strong>If you've ever struggled with comparison, questioned your worth, or wondered how to trust God through uncertainty, this conversation will encourage your heart and strengthen your faith.</strong></p> <p><strong>Follow The Upload:</strong><br>📸 Instagram — <a href="https://instagram.com/theuploadlife">@theuploadlife</a><br>🎥 TikTok — <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@theuploadlife">@theuploadlife</a><br>🔗 Listen on iHeartRadio — <a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-the-upload-304486499/?cmp=ios_share&sc=ios_social_share&pr=false&autoplay=true">The Upload</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Brett Sheroky: Heart Surgery, Surrender & Finding Joy in God's Plan
<p>This week on The Upload, Brooke Taylor and Pastor Mark Evans sit down with country singer-songwriter <strong>Brett Sheroky</strong>for a deeply moving conversation about faith, suffering, surrender, and discovering that God’s plans are often far better than our own.</p> <p>A respected songwriter with cuts from artists like Blake Shelton, Tucker Wetmore, Jake Owen, and Matt Stell, Brett opens up about a journey that has been shaped as much by hardship as success. From losing his father as a teenager to battling seasons of depression, pursuing a music career for more than a decade before signing his first deal, and undergoing open-heart surgery for a congenital heart condition, Brett shares how some of the hardest chapters of his life ultimately drew him closer to God.</p> <p>Brett reflects on a pivotal moment during COVID when an unexpected feeling of overwhelming joy while playing barefoot in the backyard with his wife and children sparked a deeper hunger for a genuine relationship with Jesus. What began as simply attending church evolved into opening his Bible, seeking God for himself, and discovering a faith that was no longer about checking a box—but about transformation from the inside out.</p> <p>Together, they discuss:</p> <ul data-spread="false"> <li>Why God often meets us at the end of ourselves</li> <li>Learning to surrender control and trust a good Father</li> <li>How suffering can become a gift in hindsight</li> <li>The difference between knowing about God and truly knowing Him</li> <li>Why success, money, and fame aren't always the blessings we think they are</li> <li>Raising children with faith in a culture obsessed with self</li> <li>Finding joy that isn't dependent on circumstances</li> <li>How God uses pain to shape purpose</li> </ul> <p>One of the most powerful moments of the episode comes when Brett shares a realization that changed his perspective forever: many of the things he once begged God to remove from his life were the very things God used to bring him closer to Him. What once felt like punishment eventually revealed itself as grace.</p> <p>Honest, wise, and full of encouragement, this conversation is a reminder that God isn't always giving us what we want—but He is always giving us what we need.</p> <p>🎧 <strong>If you've ever wrestled with unanswered prayers, difficult seasons, or trusting God's timing, this episode will challenge you to see your story through a different lens.</strong></p> <p><strong>Follow The Upload:</strong><br>📸 Instagram — <a href="https://instagram.com/theuploadlife">@theuploadlife</a><br>🎥 TikTok — <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@theuploadlife">@theuploadlife</a><br>🔗 Listen on iHeartRadio — <a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-the-upload-304486499/?cmp=ios_share&sc=ios_social_share&pr=false&autoplay=true">The Upload</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Adam Sanders: Surrendering Success, Trusting God's Timing & Finding Purpose Beyond the Dream
<p data-start="275" data-end="532">This week on The Upload, Brooke Taylor and Pastor Mark Evans sit down with country singer-songwriter <strong data-start="397" data-end="413">Adam Sanders</strong> for a candid conversation about faith, ambition, and what happens when you finally stop trying to control the outcome.</p> <p data-start="534" data-end="924">Fresh off winning CBS's The Road and after spending 15 years building his career in Nashville, Adam reflects on the journey from dreaming about country music as a child to becoming one of Music Row's most respected songwriters and artists. But behind the recent success is a deeper story—one of learning to surrender his plans and trust God's timing.</p> <p data-start="926" data-end="1242">Adam shares how years of striving, hustling, and trying to "manifest" success left him exhausted, and why everything changed when he finally told God, "You draw the plays, and I'll run them." Soon after, unexpected opportunities began appearing—from The Road to major festival stages and career-defining moments.</p> <p data-start="1244" data-end="1277">The conversation also dives into:</p> <ul data-start="1278" data-end="1686"> <li data-section-id="1sow80z" data-start="1278" data-end="1310">Why success can become an idol</li> <li data-section-id="188j1mv" data-start="1311" data-end="1359">The difference between faith and manifestation</li> <li data-section-id="2i3kjo" data-start="1360" data-end="1430">Growing up in a Pentecostal church and wrestling with church culture</li> <li data-section-id="7r7w79" data-start="1431" data-end="1490">Finding a relationship with God beyond religious routines</li> <li data-section-id="1f4pyrm" data-start="1491" data-end="1551">Why so many people are hungry for deeper biblical teaching</li> <li data-section-id="tr311h" data-start="1552" data-end="1613">Learning to hear God's voice without overcomplicating faith</li> <li data-section-id="16a9ep" data-start="1614" data-end="1686">How God often speaks through people, experiences, and everyday moments</li> </ul> <p data-start="1688" data-end="2019">Adam also opens up about seasons of uncertainty between publishing deals, financial stress, and how those moments taught him to trust God as a provider. Through it all, he's discovered that true success isn't measured by awards, chart positions, or sold-out crowds—it's found in obedience, purpose, and becoming a light for others.</p> <p data-start="2021" data-end="2226">Whether you're chasing a dream, navigating uncertainty, or wrestling with questions about faith, this episode offers a powerful reminder that God's plan is often better than the one we write for ourselves.</p> <p data-start="2228" data-end="2402">🎧 <strong data-start="2231" data-end="2402">If you've ever struggled to let go of control, questioned God's timing, or wondered what success really looks like, this conversation will encourage and challenge you.</strong></p> <p data-start="2228" data-end="2402"><strong>Follow The Upload:</strong><br>📸 Instagram — <a href="https://instagram.com/theuploadlife">@theuploadlife</a><br>🎥 TikTok — <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@theuploadlife">@theuploadlife</a><br>🔗 Listen on iHeartRadio — <a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-the-upload-304486499/?cmp=ios_share&sc=ios_social_share&pr=false&autoplay=true">The Upload</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
