What happens when you believe in Jesus, believe you’re saved, but still wonder what it really means to have a personal relationship with Jesus?

You pray. You go to church. You try to live the way you’ve been taught a Christian should live.

But something is still missing. There’s no real peace.

So you start wondering...why?

Cindy Moats knew that feeling. She had been led to an altar, told what to say, and then told, “You’re saved.” For years, she believed in Jesus and believed she had a relati...

What happens when putting God first gets harder because everything else in your life is going well? You can be serving God, building a successful career, helping others, and not realize your relationship with God is being neglected. Sometimes the hardest spiritual drift to recognize happens while you’re busy doing good things.

Bill Baker learned that lesson the hard way. His life looked successful from the outside, but he didn’t recognize what had gotten out of order until it was too late.

Now, Bill shares what he wishes he had done differently and the...

You’re trying to keep trusting God in hard times. But what happens when you’ve prayed for things to change and they haven’t?

Maybe you’re tired of waiting. You don’t understand why God hasn’t changed it. And some days, you’re doing everything you can just to keep holding on.

Kimberly Goins reached a point so dark that her prayer became, “God, if You don’t sustain me, I’m not going to make it.”

But Kimberly has also experienced moments she couldn’t understand until later, including an unexpected prayer spe...

The doctor gave you the bad news. Now how do you keep those words from becoming the only thing you can hear?

You want to trust God, but fear has a way of pulling your attention back to the diagnosis, the prognosis, and everything that could go wrong.

What if worship has something to do with what happens next?

Matthew Barker has faced moments when the doctors' words sounded convincing and worry had every reason to take over.

But this isn't just about what happened to his family.

It's...

You said you were done. And you meant it.

But somehow, you ended up right back there again.

Whether it's drugs, alcohol, pornography, gambling, or another addiction you can't seem to break, eventually you start wondering why wanting to stop isn't enough.

Bob Ferry knew that cycle well. He tried to get free for years. He couldn't.

Then, at his lowest point, Bob prayed a prayer he wasn't even sure would work.

If you're tired of starting over, hear...

Madison Gedman was just hours from death because of a rare blood disorder... and she didn't even know she was sick.

The story didn't begin with the diagnosis.

It began long before anyone knew she was in danger.

She didn't want to move back home.

Her parents almost left for vacation.

She almost went to a different hospital.

Looking back, she realized God had been weaving every one of those moments together long before anyone knew her life was in danger.

But surviving turned out...

What if you've been going the same direction for so long... you've never stopped to ask where it's actually taking you?

Steve Kang was raised Buddhist and began meditating as a child, believing it could take a million years to reach God. He became so devoted that he even brought Christian friends to the Buddhist temple.

Then a drug-induced nightmare, a suicide attempt, and what Steve describes as eight hours in hell confronted everything he believed. Months later, he says he was shown heaven.

Whether you're still...

You keep wondering if this battle is just part of who you are now.

When Judy Gregerson was diagnosed with schizophrenia, she says it felt like she was handed medication in one hand... and despair in the other.

For years, she believed what others said about her future until she had to decide whose voice she was going to believe.

Maybe your diagnosis is anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or another mental illness. Maybe you've quietly started believing nothing will ever change.

Because...

Why would the day you died become the best day of your life?

Johnathan Bond had a plan: an accounting degree, a career, and a future that made sense. Then, just hours after singing There's a Miracle in the Making, everything changed.

After being pronounced dead following a devastating car accident, Johnathan discovered something that mattered even more than surviving.

Listen to hear what he discovered that day... and why, more than thirty years later, he still calls it the best day of his life.

Ever feel like everyone else seems to hear from God… except you?

If you've struggled to hear God's voice, questioned whether God still performs miracles, or wondered if you've wandered too far from Him, you're not alone.

Josh grew up Buddhist. Shelly knew about Jesus but was living a life she knew wasn't leading anywhere good. Neither of them expected God to meet them in the middle of doubts, addictions, pain, and unanswered questions.

What followed included freedom they couldn't manufacture, healing after seventeen years of chronic pa...

You spend years dreaming about a home.

Then instead of settling in, you're losing sleep and wondering why peace feels so hard to hold onto.

That's what happened to Eric Davis when the dream house he'd prayed for turned out to be haunted.

What followed forced him to wrestle with spiritual warfare, deliverance, and the authority believers have in Christ in ways he never imagined.

And what he discovered may help anyone who's wondering why the answer they prayed for doesn't look the...

She survived years of trafficking and attempts to train her in witchcraft.

So why, decades later, did Dawn Churchill still feel trapped by anger, anxiety, and memories she thought she'd already survived?

For years, she couldn't understand why peace felt so difficult to hold onto—or why she even struggled with resentment toward God.

Then she discovered something she never saw coming.

Because escaping what happened to you isn't always the same as healing from it.

You keep wondering if God is trying to get your attention.

Not with a burning bush. Not with an audible voice.

Just that conviction you can't shake.

Michael Boyd was living a life of drugs, robberies, and bad decisions when he kept sensing one simple message:

"Go home."

One night, he listened.

What happened next made him realize that some warnings aren't meant to scare us—they're meant to protect us.

To...

You've been praying for someone you love.

A spouse who doesn't believe.

A child who seems uninterested.

A prodigal you're desperate to see come back to God.

And if you're honest, you've wondered:

"Why isn't anything changing?"

Alyssa Rahn spent years praying for her husband and children while feeling responsible for their relationship with God. The more she focused on changing them, the heavier the burden became.

Then a conversation with her young son revealed...

Christian mental health gets complicated when you love God, know the verses, and still secretly wonder why peace feels easier for everyone else.

For decades, Noelle Hoffmeister believed depression wasn’t something she struggled with — it was who she was. Even while teaching in Christian schools, encouraging others, and trying counseling and medication, she carried a quiet belief she never fully said out loud:

“Maybe joy just isn’t for me.”

Then she started noticing how shame, repeated thoughts, and deeply rooted mental patterns were shaping the way she sa...

You can be deeply loved and still feel like part of your story is missing.

Lisa Breedlove grew up knowing she was adopted, but for decades she carried unanswered questions about her biological mother, family history, identity, and where her story really began. Even routine doctor visits became painful reminders of everything she didn’t know.

After nearly 20 years of searching, Lisa and her husband Spencer finally got the call they thought would never come: her birth mother had been found.

But their adoption reunion story became about far more than answers. What un...

Near-death experiences are forcing people to ask harder questions about life after death.

Because when people across different decades and backgrounds keep describing strikingly similar experiences after clinically dying… it gets difficult to ignore.

Professor Michael Zigarelli spent years investigating accounts that included verified details people had no normal way of knowing.

And if you’ve ever wondered whether there could actually be evidence for something beyond this life… this conversation will challenge what you think you know about death, eternity, and the afterlife.

Forgiving someone who hurt you on purpose sounds impossible… especially when they knew exactly what they were doing.

If you’ve ever struggled with forgiveness after betrayal, anger, or deep emotional pain… you’ll recognize this tension immediately.

You can know what’s right— and still not want to do it.

That doesn’t make you a bad person.

Because it’s different when they hurt you intentionally.

Today, we’re talking with Pastors Terrell and Brandy Scott—

And their story doesn’t start with healing. It starts with a decision...

Some Christian testimonies about hearing God’s voice don’t start the way you’d expect.

Matthew Lovell thought he knew God. He was sure of it—until the night everything broke.

He was showing up. Praying. Doing what he believed was right.

He wasn’t questioning it.

He thought that was all faith was.

Then he found out his wife was having an affair—right before their 5-year anniversary.

That night, he’s in his kitchen.

Music blasting. Cleaning. Cryi...

You asked God to forgive you. But forgiveness didn’t remove the consequences of what you did.

You can’t go back and change it. And your relationships didn’t stay the same.

So now you’re left trying to figure out how to move forward with God when your life doesn’t look the way you thought it would.

Inés Franklin shares what it looks like to rebuild after choices she couldn’t undo and what actually has to change when nothing around you resets.

If you’ve ever wondered what i...

You know what God is asking you to do.

You just keep hoping it’s not Him.

You feel it clearly, but the questions get louder.

What if you’re wrong? What if you’re not ready?

Shayla Jesse had that moment.

Clear direction and a quiet resistance she couldn’t ignore.

Then something shifted.

It wasn’t about proving herself ready.

It was about saying yes before she felt ready.

And what came after changed how she sees hearing God’s voice and...

You see the message and your stomach drops.

“come home now.”

No explanation. Just enough to know something’s wrong.

An unexpected moment that led to something no one could explain.

You’re already moving, trying to think, trying to stay calm—but you’ve never dealt with anything like this before.

That’s where Shelley Kemp found herself when her son’s accident changed everything in a single afternoon.

Not just because of what happened…

but because she didn’t know what to do next.

There wa...

You thought it finally worked.

The thing you prayed for. Believed for. Even when the odds said it shouldn’t.

And then it didn’t.

Now you’re trying to make sense of a God you still believe in… but don’t understand the same way anymore.

Dawn Pruszkowski lived through that—trying to hold onto faith in the middle of it.

She didn’t get answers right away. But something shifted in a moment she didn’t expect.

Not the outcome… but how she learned to trust God again af...

You trust God.

But you still find yourself wondering… why hasn’t this prayer been answered?

April Farlow knows that tension.

She spent years praying to become a mother while watching other families grow around her.

The delays were confusing. The miscarriage was devastating. And the silence from God raised questions she never expected to ask.

But what felt like the end was quietly shaping something she couldn’t see yet.

A ministry. A new kind of family. A life she never would have planned.

If you...

Have you ever had a thought you couldn’t shake… and wondered if it meant something more?

Not loud.

Not dramatic.

Just something small that kept coming back.

That’s where this started for Sheila Hara.

In the middle of raising three kids and managing a full, busy life, she began noticing quiet nudges she almost ignored. Nothing obvious. Nothing urgent. But over time, those moments started forming a pattern.

And following them changed everything.

In thi...

There’s usually something we quietly accept as the limit.

A weakness.

A struggle.

Something that never seemed to come as naturally as it did for everyone else.

So we adjust.

We build our lives around it… and stop expecting much to change.

Dr. Terry Tripp, also known as Doctor Blue Duck, grew up unable to communicate clearly.

People often had to speak for him.

But he didn’t stay there.

He worked relentlessly to improv...

When someone you love is struggling… and you can’t fix it.

They keep calling you. You keep praying. And nothing changes.

Not the next day. Not the next week.

That’s the space Debra E. Johnson found herself in.

In this conversation, Debra shares what it looked like to keep trusting God while waiting for answers—and the quiet ways God was still moving even when nothing seemed to change.

If you’ve ever wondered whether God hears you when your prayers feel unanswered, this faith story will help you s...

Not everything that seems like it should help your marriage actually does.

In this episode, Josh and Shelly break down what they’ve learned firsthand—what strengthened their relationship, what quietly created distance, and what they didn’t realize until they were already in it.

This isn’t theory. It’s what actually played out.

They share the patterns that didn’t work, the shifts that made the biggest difference, and how small changes in how they communicated and showed up began to change everything.

This co...

Why does he feel distant… even though nothing big happened?

You’re still talking. Still showing up. But something feels different—and you can’t pinpoint when it changed.

This conversation with Heather O’Brien gets underneath emotional distance in marriage—where it actually starts and why it’s so hard to fix once it’s there.

Because emotional disconnection doesn’t usually happen overnight. It often begins with something unspoken, unresolved, or unmet—and over time, that turns into withdrawal, resentment, and feeling alone in your own marriage.

If you’ve been wondering how...

Nothing is technically wrong… but something feels off in your marriage.

No conflict. No crisis. Just a quiet disappointment you haven’t named.

This episode is for Christian wives who love God but feel tension in their marriage and aren’t sure why. When disappointment goes unspoken, it doesn’t fade—it reshapes how you see your spouse, yourself, and even God.

If you’ve been looking for Christian marriage advice, clarity in your relationship, or understanding emotional distance in marriage, this conversation will help you recognize what’s already happening beneath the surface.

What do you do when life looks successful on the outside—but something inside still feels unsettled, tense, and hollow?

This episode is for anyone who loves God yet quietly wonders why peace hasn’t followed obedience.

When God intervened, it wasn’t subtle. Everything she relied on began to fall silent, forcing a decision: keep accep...

Have you ever felt God nudging you — but wondered if it was really Him or just your own thoughts?

In this episode, April Snook shares a real moment where she had to trust a quiet inner prompting from God while facing financial pressure and uncertainty. With only $30 for groceries and two small children at home, she stood at a decision point: dismiss the thought… or act on it in faith.

This conversation gives language to a question many believers carry: How do I recognize God’s voice with confidence? You’ll hear what His guidance can soun...

Have you ever stayed faithful—and still wondered, Why do I feel like I’m going backward?

This episode is for believers who kept praying, obeying, and trusting God, only to find old thoughts, fears, or patterns resurfacing after a season of spiritual momentum.

Caitlin Childs returns to share a deeply personal stretch of her journey when growth didn’t feel victorious—it felt confusing. Instead of rushing the process, God met her there, gently revealing that what felt like regression was actually part of maturing faith.

You’ll hear how God walks with us th...

What happens when you stop waiting to feel ready and choose to obey God anyway? This episode speaks to believers who love Jesus but hesitate when obedience feels uncomfortable, awkward, or costly. In this conversation with Erica Meads, you’ll hear what faith looks like when it’s lived out loud—praying for people, stepping toward those in need, and trusting God to move when you move first. Erica shares moments where broken fingers were healed through prayer, where people encountered Jesus and became believers, and where simple obedience became God expanding His Kingdom right here on earth.

This...

What if God asked you to walk away from something successful—with no backup plan?

This episode is for anyone who’s paused mid-prayer, felt resistance rise in their chest, and wondered if obedience is really what God is asking right now.

Christina Smith shares a real-life faith testimony of obeying God’s clear instruction to close a successful business after more than 17 years—before she understood what...

If God has already forgiven you, why do some fears, reactions, or inner battles keep coming back no matter how hard you pray?

That question is where this conversation begins.

As we stepped into a new year, there was a clear sense this was how God wanted us to begin. Not with striving. Not with performance. But with healing.

In this episode of the God’s Goodness Podcast, we sit down with Heather O’Brien to talk about a truth many believers have never been taught. Deliverance is for everyone. And no matter how...

Not all faith journeys look the same. But like a race, what matters isn’t where you start - it’s that you do.

Some begin early. Some begin late. And some don’t look like they’ll ever begin at all.

If coming to faith felt harder for you than it seemed to for others - or if belief came slowly through skepticism or resistance - this episode will help you make sense of your story.

Tracy Morgan didn’t grow up believing in God. She thought Christians were naïve...

If you’ve been trying to be everything for everyone—and still quietly feeling like you’re failing—this episode is for you. In this deeply honest, faith-filled conversation, we step into the hidden weight many Christian moms carry: shame, overwhelm, anger, and the pressure to get it all right.

If you’re in a season where your emotions feel louder than your faith… where old wounds are resurfacing… or where God is stirring things you thought were already healed, this episode is going to meet you right where you are.

Because the truth is: sometimes the shaking in your heart isn’t a setback — it’s an invitation.

It leaves you wondering… “Is something wrong with me? Or is God actually doing something deeper?”

How do you know when your unraveling is actually God rebuilding you? That’s the question at the center of Rachel's V...

If your walk with God has felt heavier than it should—like you’re trying to trust His heart while carrying a pressure you can’t explain—this episode may be the moment something finally shifts. Because living in that tension slowly steals your peace, dulls your ability to hear God’s voice, and shapes how you see Him without you even realizing it.

As you listen, you’ll begin to recognize the subtle ways fear, perfectionism, and old survival patterns can quietly influence your faith—especially if you grew up around unpredictable reactions or learned early to keep the pe...
