Go-Karts, Nachos, and Following God's Lead | WALKING ROOTED EP 22
Go-karts, nachos, and a pillar of cloud. Wayne and Jesse catch up on a full couple of weeks, then get into something God has been showing them about staying when He says stay and going when He says go.
In this episode:
Jesse's favorite nachos might be at Denny's (and the great black beans debate)
A Young Life leader weekend where the plans fell through, and the little things God gave instead
A cabin getaway, kitesurfers, and a very relaxing three days
A scary moment behind a slow driver
Numbers 9 and what it means to be ready to stay or ready to go
What Saint Ignatius taught about consolation and desolation, and why following God doesn't always feel good at first
Let us know in the comments: how tall are you in centimeters, and what's the best nacho you've ever had?

Surprised By A Stranger, Movies Alone, And Forgetting The Can Opener
It's just Wayne and Jesse this week on the Walking Rooted Podcast, back for stories, laughs, and a lesson on caring for people well after last episode's guest. Jesse tells the story of peeking into a stranger's car in the church parking lot — and getting startled right back. Wayne recaps a solo camping trip to Millersylvania State Park, including a hammock in the wind, a 98 sleep score, and the great chili-dog can-opener disaster.Along the way: pizza order name mishaps, a solo trip to see the "House of Worship" movie (with Darlene Zschech, Paul Baloche, and Michael W. Smith), and a reflection on C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity. Jesse closes out with a teaching from 1 Thessalonians 5:14 on the importance of "proper diagnosis" when caring for people — knowing when someone needs a warning, encouragement, or tender care.Walking Rooted is a podcast about telling stories, sharing about life, and talking about what God is doing in our lives.

Pastor Got Stung So Bad His Eyes Stopped Working | Walking Rooted 019
Beekeeper and pastor Tim Heifer joins Jesse and Wayne on the Walking Rooted podcast to share one of the wildest testimonies you'll hear this year. After a routine hive harvest went sideways, Tim ended up covered in stings — and by the next morning, his eyes were literally moving in opposite directions, leaving him with severe double vision. What followed was an ER visit, a diagnosis that left even doctors stumped, and a weekend of prayer that ended in a healing Tim still can't fully explain.
Along the way, Tim also shares stories from his years as a youth pastor, a wild moment involving a ground squirrel and a very bold prayer, and what it looks like to speak blessing over people even when you don't share a language. It's a conversation full of humor, honesty, and real stories of God showing up in unexpected ways.
