Why Christians Are Afraid to Say “I’m Not Okay”
Why does honesty feel so risky in Christian spaces?
In this episode of Unshaken Through the Fire, AJ explores the unspoken pressure many believers live under — the pressure to always appear strong, joyful, and spiritually put together. While faith teaches hope, church culture sometimes teaches performance, leaving many Christians suffering in silence.
This conversation unpacks why saying “I’m not okay” can feel more dangerous than staying quiet, how toxic positivity and fear of judgment silence real pain, and what Scripture actually says about weakness, honesty, and healing.
From Jesus’ compassion toward the weary to God’s closeness to the brokenhearted, this episode reminds listeners that honesty is not a lack of faith — it’s often the first step toward healing.
This episode is for anyone who:
Feels pressure to perform spiritually
Struggles to be honest about their mental or emotional health
Has been told their faith should fix everything
Longs for a safe place to be real before God and others
🎙️ Unshaken Through the Fire
Faith doesn’t cancel pain — but it does make room for truth.

Faith & Depression — When God Feels Silent
What happens when you love God… but still feel depressed?
In this episode of Unshaken Through the Fire, AJ tackles a topic many Christians struggle with but rarely talk about — depression. Addressing the harmful belief that depression means a lack of faith, this episode walks through Scripture to show that even God’s most faithful servants wrestled with deep sorrow, exhaustion, and silence.
From David’s cries in the Psalms, to Elijah’s despair, to Jesus’ anguish in the Garden, this conversation reveals a powerful truth: faith does not cancel pain — and silence does not mean absence.
AJ shares personal reflections as a man of God who has battled depression, explores why God doesn’t always heal instantly, and explains how God’s silence can still be purposeful, refining, and filled with grace.
This episode is for anyone who:
Feels discouraged or emotionally exhausted
Has been told their faith should “fix” depression
Struggles to hear God in the silence
Needs reassurance that God is still near
If you’ve ever wondered whether God has forgotten you — this conversation is for you.
🎙️ Unshaken Through the Fire
Faith. Healing. Hope — even in the silence.

Stand Still and See
When you're surrounded by pressure, fear, and impossible circumstances, the last thing you want to hear is: "Be still." But in Exodus 14:10–14, as Pharaoh’s army chased Israel to the edge of the Red Sea, God’s command through Moses was simple: "Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord."
In this powerful episode, we unpack what it really means to be still in faith, not fear. With biblical truths, stories from preachers like David Wilkerson, and honest reflection, you’ll be reminded that stillness isn’t weakness — it’s spiritual warfare. God is already working in the dark. Now it’s your turn to stand and see.
