What happens when the weight of expectations shatters your life?
Being a pastor’s kid doesn’t protect you from divorce, temptation, financial struggle, or losing everything. We’ve lived through it—crossing lines we never thought we would, facing emptiness, and wondering if God could still use us.
UnqualifiedPK (UQPK) is where we tell the raw truth of our messiest moments—not to glorify the pain, but to point to the God who redeems it.
This is a space for anyone who feels too broken, too ashamed, or too far gone. Here, you’ll find stories of hope, healing, and grace that’s bigger than failure.
If you’ve ever felt unqualified—this channel is for you.
Pull up a chair. Let’s talk about the shame, the struggle, and the redemption.
Welcome to UQPK.
In this episode of UnqualifiedPk, we talk about a kind of faith that doesn’t get much airtime — the faith that lives quietly in the background. The kind that shows up every Sunday but sits against the back wall. The kind that loves Jesus deeply but doesn’t want a microphone, a platform, or a stage. We unpack the tension many people feel in church and Christian culture: the pressure to be visible to be considered “faithful” the assumption that obedience always looks public the guilt that ...

Love Isn’t a Feeling — It’s the Decision to Give | UQPK Ep8
In this episode of UnqualifiedPk, we talk about one of the most overused — and misunderstood — words in Christianity: love. Most of us grew up believing love was a feeling. Something emotional. Something warm. Something that comes naturally when circumstances are good. But when we slow down and look at Scripture, we start to realize: biblical love doesn’t look anything like the version we’ve been taught. This conversation unpacks why: love isn’t primarily emotional love isn’t about comfor...

Joy Isn’t a Feeling — It’s the Decision to Stay | UQPK Ep7
In this episode of UnqualifiedPk, we wrestle with one of the most misunderstood words in Christianity: joy. We both assumed joy was a feeling — excitement, happiness, a good season of life. But the more we studied Scripture (and honestly questioned our own assumptions), the more we realized… we didn’t actually know what biblical joy was. This conversation unpacks why: joy isn’t circumstantial joy isn’t pretending things are okay joy often shows up in suffering, not the absence of it joy...

Hope, Peace & the Pain That Shapes Us (Advent Reflections) | UQPK Ep6
In Episode 6 of UnqualifiedPk, we dive into the Advent season — not the polished version you see on church stages, but the real-life version of hope and peace when life feels heavy, confusing, or downright impossible. Advent traditionally invites Christians to slow down, reflect, and anticipate the arrival of Jesus. But what do you do when life speeds up instead? When suffering feels endless? When hope feels hard to find… and peace feels impossible to hold onto? This week we talk openly abo...

When You Know You’re Forgiven But Still Feel Stuck | UnqualifiedPK Ep5
In Episode 5 of UnqualifiedPk, we break the “episode 4 curse” and invite you into our real-time struggle — not a polished testimony from years ago, but what we’re walking through this week. Adrienne shares honestly about wrestling to feel forgiven, even though she knows God has already wiped her clean. Travis talks about carrying the weight of the past while trying to fight new battles, and how comparison has stolen joy for years. We read and unpack 1 John 1:5–10 (NIV) — light and darkness,...
It’s Thanksgiving week, and after a few heavy episodes, we wanted to sit down, breathe a little, and talk about gratefulness—not in a cheesy way, but in a real, practical, “this actually helps my anxiety” kind of way. In this episode of UnqualifiedPk, we share some of the things we’re genuinely thankful for right now: our home and this little podcast corner, the wild journey of doing a show together as a married couple, our blended family and co-parenting story, the community sports have brou...

Our Abortion, Our Shame, His Grace | UnqualifiedPK Podcast Ep3
Content Warning: In this episode we talk honestly about abortion, shame, and spiritual warfare. Please watch with care if this is a sensitive topic for you.In Episode 3 of UnqualifiedPK, we share one of the most painful parts of our story: the abortion we had over a decade ago. As two pastor’s kids who “knew better,” this was never something we imagined would be part of our lives or our marriage. But it is. And hiding it nearly destroyed us. We talk about how that decision affected our relati...
