As Christians, we’re called to love one another. But if we’re honest, that’s not always what it looks like online. In this episode, Jessica is joined by April Terrell, a care ministry leader, to talk about how we often show up on social media. They dive into heart posture, how to discern when to engage, when to step back and what to do when something on social media is simply beyond you.

What happens when new believers suddenly have big platforms? In this episode, Jessica sits down with Pastor Ryan Britt to explore that very tension. As more people come to faith online, they’re often looked to as spiritual authorities before they’ve had the chance to truly become rooted. So how should they navigate that? And how should the Church respond without elevating them too quickly or tearing them down? Together, Jessica and Pastor Britt unpack the weight of influence, the challenge of sanctification in the public eye, and what it really looks like to extend grace in a culture that’s quick to critique. Plus, in a world shaped by AI, they explore what authenticity can look like for a follower of Jesus and why it matters more than ever.

It's easy to believe our “weaknesses” disqualify us from influence. We look at others online and count ourselves out. In this episode, Jessica sits down with Joshua Delp, whose story challenges that lie. Josh leads, teaches and speaks while living with a stutter that once made him question whether he could ever speak or lead publicly. They talk honestly about fear, obedience, and learning to trust God when confidence feels out of reach. Joshua shares how God has met him not in spite of his “weakness”, but through it. And how that dependence has shaped his leadership, ministry, and willingness to show up in a world that may otherwise discourage him in what he feels called to do. If you’ve ever felt overlooked, unqualified, or tempted to stay silent because you don’t measure up, you’re going to want to listen in. God isn’t looking for flawless people. He’s looking for willing ones.
