About Where You're Planted
Where You're Planted exists to show people that ministry can and does happen anywhere. Our conversation topics range from family topics, to careers, to interpersonal relationships, health in the church and more. We hope listeners will be inspired by the stories of our guests who have made the decision to stand firmly on the ground God has currently placed them on. When we allow ourselves to be where our feet are by opening our hearts and minds to God's will for us, we are able to grow the kingdom where we are planted.

When God Tells You to Walk Away from Your Dream Job ft Chierstin Susel
Chierstin Susel had what most people would consider a dream career. She was on TV, working in sports and doing both in a large city. But even after the NBA team in her market made an NBA finals, and she won MULTIPLE Emmy Awards, she found the milestones and the job itself didn't bring her the joy she thought it would. In an extremely admirable turn of events, Chierstin walked away from the job that was at one point the pinnacle of her goals and decided to pursue something bigger: God's call. Chierstin tells her story and gives so much encouragement to anyone who may be experiencing the extremely difficult struggle of deciding between what you thought was the plan for your life and the obvious nudges from God to pivot. While the world may call her crazy, as a believer, I was left in admiration of her bold faith and commitment to listening to God's voice. You will not want to miss her story.

Fatherhood, Accountability and Returning to Yourself in Ministry ft Jalen Seawright
Today I'm joined by Jalen Seawright, a husband, father, author, and worship leader. Jalen took me through his experience leading in both a megachurch and how that led him back to a smaller, more familiar church today. We discuss the difficult nature of serving in diverse churches and Jalen graciously opens up about some of the problems he faced in that capacity. His answers provide a lot of insight for churches and how they can better serve both their leaders and their congregations. More importantly, we talk about his family, a book he wrote for his daughters titled "Dreams Come True for Black Girls Too!" (link below), a time they all went viral and the plans he has for his future as a dad, a husband and a worship leader. Jalen is so honest, genuine and humble and this is a conversation that I was privileged to have with him.

So What Does God Say About Money? ft Pastor Derek Beauchamp
Is money evil? Are we supposed to be successful? Should we be tithing? Do we have to tithe to our own church? Can I pay off debt before I tithe? ..... so many questions that arise around finances, and let's face it, it can be uncomfortable to ask. We can all admit that one of the most awkward aspects of the church is money -- both within it and with how they discuss it. But like everything else, the Bible does provide us answers. Pastor Derek Beauchamp graciously joined me for this difficult, yet honest conversation about all things money. I so appreciate how he tackled this topic and I left it feeling a lot clearer about the subject as a whole and with some great tools. He is knowledgable, direct and humble in his delivery of the answers to these difficult questions. Find Derek on IG: @derek.beauchamp Find us on IG: @whereyoureplantedpodcast

The Bible, Prayer and How It All Collides With Football ft Paul Allen, NFL Play-by-Play Announcer
It's Season Two! We are back with a bang. I had the pleasure to speak with Paul Allen, also known as "The Voice of the Minnesota Vikings". Recently, Paul went viral for his epic call of the Vikings/Bills game during the 2022 season, but what struck me most about Paul was how he boldly proclaims his love for God, the Bible and people. In this conversation Paul and I had the opportunity to recap the the "God moments" that happened after Damar Hamlin's tragic medical scare and how powerful some of the opportunities for God to show up were throughout that week. We also discuss why prayer and reading the Bible can be so impactful in our careers within the professional football space. Paul is unashamed of his faith in all of the spaces he resides in and I know the conviction in which he talks about Jesus and the Bible will impact you also.

Lessons from 2022
For the final episode of Season 1, I recap a few of the major lessons God brought me through in 2022. From learning to be a better friend like Christ would, to being smacked in the face with the reminder that He knows the desires of our heart, God showed me so much this year. I hope this reflection helps you reflect a little, too, and that we all go into 2023 with a renewed and a stronger faith because of all the ups and downs. Happy New Year, and see you soon!

Faith, Football and The Joy Both Bring ft Gio the Podcaster and Shannon Algarin
For this episode, I am joined by one of the football communities coolest podcasters, Gio the Podcaster, and his amazing mom Shannon. Gio has became a superstar in the Philadelphia, Indianapolis and overall football communities over the last few years sharing his passion for sports and knowledge of the teams he loves. Recently, though, he got baptized along with his parents and they have been graciously sharing that journey with the social media world since. Gio, Shannon and the rest of their family have experienced a ton of hardship in Gio's 15 years of life. They have more reasons than most to be angry or reject God, but instead stand us an incredible example of trusting in God and using their hardships to glorify Him. It's not only a pleasure to get to watch them from afar as their family continues to receive so many blessings, but to also call them friends and witness their faith day in and day out.

Combatting Anxiety with God's Word and Other Helpful Tools ft Morgan Wilson
For this episode, I am joined by Morgan Wilson, who I have the privilege to know through my work capacity but also, and more importantly, as a friend. I met Morgan back in 2020 when her now husband, Logan, began training for the NFL Combine and preparing for the NFL Draft. Since then, Morgan and I have found we have many similarities when it comes to our faith and our mental health. Her willingness to be so open about anxiety and other mental health struggles has always struck me as so refreshing because of the platform her and her husband have. It would be very easy to act like her life is all rainbows and butterflies, but she's very real about the hardships the NFL life can bring, even when it doesn't seem like it from the outside looking in. She has always clung close to God's promises and continues to "do the work" day in and day out to remember how loved and protected she is. You will find Morgan so real, refreshing, and will want to cheer her and her husband on after hearing how committed these two are to God and their family. Such a privilege to have her on!

Finding and Trusting God (Full Stop!) through Sobriety ft Haley Gray
If you or anyone you love is suffering from substance abuse or addiction, please call the Addiction Crisis Hotline: 888-251-6535 My dear friend, Haley Gray, joins me today on what is one of my favorite conversations yet. Haley grappled with addition for much of her late teens and early twenties, but after a phone call she doesn't even remember answering, she sought out treatment and celebrated 3 years of sobriety on October 8th of this year. While she went to treatment to free herself of addiction, the real result that has impacted her the most is the relationship she formed with God. As Haley states in the episode, she always knew of God, but she was "given a religion", and it wasn't until this time of her life that she actually formed a relationship. Haley has one of the most confident, steadfast and pure hearts for God. The way she can see God in all of the good and bad throughout her journey is incredibly admirable, to put it lightly. Her story is one of refinement, surrender and ultimately, victory.

Lessons in the Waiting and the In Between ft Keaton Rosek
This week I'm joined by Keaton Rosek, a dear friend of mine, who has spent the better portion of this year in transition. Back in May, Keaton made the difficult but admirable decision to leave a job that was no longer serving him. Keaton has been so patient in the process of figuring out "what's next" and in that time, has been remaining close to God and allowing God to refine him throughout this season. The times of waiting and transition can be scary, confusing and at times, if we're being honest, downright boring. We talk a lot on this show, and in the real world, about the high highs and the low lows of our walks with God. Everyone loves a good miracle story of how God took something and made it new. But its not often people get real about how it feels to be in the waiting period before God shows you why He asked you to walk away or toward something. Keaton's willingness to talk about this was such a welcomed conversation because its where some of God's best work happens, and its important to not take these seasons lightly as they're necessary to become who we need to be to walk into the next blessing God has for us.

Discovering and Living in God's Purpose ft Purpose Coach JimDre Westbrook
Today's episode is a little different than our usual set up. I am joined by JimDre Westbrook, who is a purpose coach and entrepreneur. Instead of discussing his particular path and season he's personally "planted" it, I asked him to spend some time giving advice and encouragement to others in how to hone in on their own purpose that God has set out for them. JimDre is purpose-driven himself and his life is an example of how fruitful it can be when we trust God and stay in alignment with him. He gives great advice and practical tools to help all types of believers start to make this the focus on their life. I truly saw my life change when I dropped my ego and embarked on living in my purpose, so I hope this will help others find that same peace.

Clinging to Christ through College Sports, a Pandemic and Unexpected Retirement ft Zoe Schweitzer
TW: Eating disorders, disordered eating, diet culture, body image Zoe Schweitzer is well beyond her years when it comes to her spiritual, emotional and overall maturity. When a medical condition led her into an early, unexpected medical retirement from gymnastics, she had to fight hard to remain steady in her identity with God while her identity as a gymnast was stripped from her. Zoe is part of the age group that went through the depths of the pandemic while in college and on top of that, was a college athlete during that time trying to still adjust and compete. Beyond the hardships we all faced during that time, Zoe also battled and overcame the body image insecurities that so many gymnasts and young women face. She is proof you can battle those insecurities and come out stronger. Zoe is so steadfast in her walk with Jesus and is turning a corner in a new chapter of her life. Her clarity on God's plan will inspire not just all of the young women around her, but her peers as well. As someone 10 years older than her, I am deeply inspired by her and know that God is about to use her in a big way. Her story is one you don't want to miss.

Divorce, Codependency & Other Hard Things ft Joel Adams
This week I am joined by my friend Joel Adams who graciously agreed to touch on the difficult topic of divorce. In church environments, divorce is often handled in ways that unfortunately alienates the parties involved. Joel provides a great perspective on how divorce can ultimately lead to healthier outcomes, his experience in church while navigating divorce and how people can better support others who are also going through the same. In addition, we touch on byproducts of divorce, like parenting, codependency, the reality of dating again and other generally hard things. His transparency is appreciated and needed in church environments. Find Joel on IG: @gingerealestatelv Find us on IG: @whereyoureplantedpodcast Support us on Patreon: patreon.com/whereyoureplanted

Hangout with the Host
As I say in this episode, I don't think its fair to ask others to tell their story or talk about their relationship with God without doing it myself. My good friend Alli Mellody sat down with me to help ask a few questions that listeners wanted answered and we covered parts of my testimony, experiences of my childhood, why I think being single was the biggest blessing of my 20's and what my career looks like as a follower of God. As scary as talking about ourselves is, telling our stories is a duty we have as followers of Jesus, so I hope this background on me helps with all the episodes and guests moving forward!

Unshakable Faith through Unthinkable Heartache ft Kiera Bright
TW: Infertility, pregnancy loss On this episode, I am one-one-one with my friend Kiera Bright who was gracious enough to tell the entire story of her journey to motherhood. Kiera is the epitome of her last name: BRIGHT and joyful. But much of her journey to becoming a mom was anything but that. Kiera and her husband, Brandon, endured unimaginable loss, heartbreak and pain -- both physical and emotional. But when most people would feel hopeless, Kiera stood on her unshakable faith. Every time a door would close, Kiera would look for the window God was opening. She clung so tightly to God's promise that he would fulfill her heart's greatest desire: to become a mom. She knew that while God made her that promise, He didn't promise her how. So she continued forward, time and time again until she got her Dream girl. Her story will inspire and strengthen the faith of many. Find Kiera on IG: @lasvegasmakeupgirl Find us on IG: @whereyoureplantedpodcast Support us on Patreon: patreon.com/whereyoureplanted

Pastoring and Loving the City of Las Vegas ft Pastor Lee Coate and Tanya Coate
I was privileged to sit down with one of the Executive Pastors at my local church in Las Vegas, Lee, and his wife, Tanya. The Coates have been in Las Vegas for 31 years and have pastored through the stigmas and stereotypes that circle our city. As Las Vegas locals, we have heard it all -- "Sin City", we all gamble, we all live in hotels, you name it. A conversation that was meant to lift up a city we all love turned into an hour of encouragement for those who have left the church or feel like formal church is not for them or has wronged them in some way. Pastor Lee and Tanya recognize those frustrations but feel deeply the community that comes from the church is worth fighting for. They are passionate, authentic and excited about where God has placed them for the last 31 years. I hope deeply this conversation blesses you the way it did for me, and if you're not a Las Vegas resident, that you learn to "plant" yourself in your city, whether it seems like a conventional place to spread the gospel or not.

Prioritize God and the Rest Will Follow ft Brennen Creer
On this episode, I was joined by Brennen Creer, co-founder of The Athlete's Corner. The Athlete's Corner is "the sports leader in all things faith, family and philanthropy." Its become a huge community of believers in the world of sports and has allowed so many people in the industry live out their faith boldly. In addition to the community, they've fed millions of people through their partnerships with athletes and their foundations, and they're just getting started. Personally, Brennen had a very real encounter with God early in his life that led him to prioritize God and God's calling from that point forward. Brennen is bold in his faith and unapologetic in responding to God's direction for his life. This conversation is a necessary listen for anyone who may have a big idea on their heart they know is from God but the details of how it will all workout may not be clear yet. Brennen is encouraging, uplifting and his faith is all-around inspiring.

How God is the Ultimate Trainer in the Business of Fitness ft Ryan Benavente and Samantha Campbell
Sponsored by Apocalyptic Artists Ensemble (IG: @apocalypticartists) In this episode, I have an honest conversation with Ryan Benavente and Samantha Campbell who are both in the fitness industry in Las Vegas, NV. We discuss everything from their start in the fitness world to the lessons they've encountered and how the gym can be the ultimate space for ministry to occur. Both Ryan and Samantha have created communities within their gyms that allow their clients to show up exactly as they are. The phrase "come as you are" is used a lot inside churches, but its unfortunately not always a phrase that holds true. Spaces like the gym are so important for Christ followers to inhabit because it opens up the opportunity for our stories to collide with those who maybe haven't felt comfortable to walk into a church. You won't want to miss the wisdom these two provide! Find the guests on Instagram: @ryanbenavente_ @sj.thevegasplanner103 Connect with us on Instagram at @whereyoureplantedpodcast!

Similarly, Haley and her husband, Jeremy, were born and raised in Canada before moving to Las Vegas for his career. Savannah and Haley have both made serious sacrifice in order to support their husbands and go all in on this sport. This conversation will open your eyes to the reality of being married to a professional athlete, specifically those in combat sports, and how leaning on God has been the ultimate superpower to make the most of the season Haley and Savannah are in.

Luc is a worship pastor in Las Vegas, and Kat recently started working for the same church. Luc and Kat have been married for 12 years and are parents of twins.
