• Episode 395 - Eighth Day Prayers with Sally Breedlove and Willa Kane

  How do we hold on to hope when life is filled with pain and disappointment? What role can prayer play in our suffering as we learn to cling to hope?Sally Breedlove and Willa Kane became friends through a shared commitment to prayer during a season marked by uncertainty. In 2020, as the world faced the upheaval of the COVID-19 pandemic, they felt led to invite others into daily rhythms of prayer—and thus, Eighth Day Prayers was born. The name "Eighth Day" reflects the day of Jesus’ resurrection, symbolizing the invitation to live into the hope of Christ. What began as a simple practice during a global crisis grew into a ministry that continues through their three-book series, **Eighth Day Prayers**, which follows the liturgical calendar and invites readers into a life of rhythmic, intentional prayer.Through their personal journeys of suffering—including the loss of a grandchild, the death of a parent by suicide, significant health diagnoses, and challenges in business—Sally and Willa have found prayer to be a steadying force, grounding them in hope and anchoring their walk with Jesus.In this episode, Davey sits down with Sally and Willa to discuss the simplicity and depth of prayer, how it sustains us in seasons of deep pain, and why it remains a vital part of our spiritual formation.If you’ve ever wrestled with the tension between hope and heartbreak, this conversation offers encouragement and perspective, reminding us that God can hold our hardest emotions and invites us into an honest, ongoing dialogue with Him through prayer.

• Episode 394 - Crushing Chaos with Dr. Manny Arango

  How do you bring order to the chaos of dysfunctional family patterns? What does it look like to experience lasting peace in the midst of relational disorder?Pastor and Bible teacher Dr. Manny Arango knows firsthand what it’s like to grow up surrounded by chaos. Raised in a home where his father battled addiction, Dr. Manny became a stabilizing force for his mother, but what seemed like support at the time eventually revealed itself as a deeply dysfunctional dynamic. It wasn’t until he became a husband and father that he began to recognize how these patterns were impacting his own family.Through the help of therapy and a deeper understanding of God’s design in Scripture, Dr. Manny discovered a powerful truth: true peace comes not from people-pleasing or control, but from aligning with God’s order. In his new book, **Crushing Chaos: Calm Your Storms. Order Your Life. Find Your Peace**, he unpacks how God is never intimidated by disorder and how He consistently brings order to chaos in the lives of His people.In this rich conversation, Davey sits down with Dr. Manny to explore the importance of identifying not just immoral behaviors in our families of origin, but also the subtle and often overlooked patterns of dysfunction, how setting healthy boundaries can become a gateway to peace, and why understanding the biblical pattern of God’s redemptive order is key when navigating personal storms.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by anxiety or like your life is spiraling into chaos, this episode will equip you with the insight and spiritual authority to confront disorder and embrace the peace that comes through God's divine order.

• Episode 393 - Brokenness, Redemption, and the Power of a Biker’s Prayer with Angie Howell

  What do you do when life leaves you desperate for hope? How do you find redemption when all you see is brokenness?Angie Howell knows these questions all too well. On the verge of her third divorce and pregnant with her eighth child, Angie found herself in a place of deep pain and loss. Shortly after the birth of her daughter, Jade, Angie sensed something was wrong. What followed was a long and difficult journey of medical tests and diagnoses, leading her into the complex world of parenting a child with special needs.In the midst of uncertainty and while still a lukewarm Christian, Angie encountered an unexpected moment of divine intervention. Her cousin, along with his biker friends, came to pray over her and Jade. In that powerful moment, something inside Angie shifted—she experienced a miracle not in her circumstances, but in her heart. It was the beginning of a profound transformation.Angie shares her story of struggle, faith, and redemption in her book, **Jewel of Heaven: A Beautiful Story of Brokenness, Redemption, and the Power of a Biker’s Prayer**. She calls herself a misfit, and through her writing, she vulnerably reveals how an unconventional group of believers helped her find hope and healing.In this episode, Davey sits down with Angie to talk about how the true miracle in our lives is often the change God brings to our hearts through pain, how He uses unlikely people to speak life and hope into us, and why our stories are never meant for us alone—they’re meant to bring healing to others too.If you've ever felt too broken for redemption, this conversation will remind you: no matter how far gone you feel, God is relentlessly pursuing you—even in your brokenness.

  What do you do when anxiety suddenly takes hold and you find yourself spiraling? How do you begin to unravel the past wounds and circumstances that have led you to a place of chaos and uncertainty?For author and pastor Levi Lusko, a season of anxiety emerged seemingly out of nowhere. After years of pushing hard in ministry and leadership, he found himself waking up in the middle of the night gripped by an intense panic attack. The journey to uncover the root causes of that experience took time—but it was through that very process that he discovered how God meets us not only in our triumphs but also in our most chaotic, uncertain seasons.In one of his most vulnerable books yet, Blessed Are the Spiraling: How the Chaotic Search for Significance Can Lead to Joy Through Life’s Shifting Seasons, Levi shares the raw, personal account of navigating panic attacks, questioning his calling, confronting deep-seated fears, and unearthing childhood wounds. Through that journey, he found a healthier, more grounded rhythm of life and ministry—one anchored in God's presence through every season and joy.In this candid conversation, Davey and Levi explore the emotional toll leadership can take, the transformative power of revisiting and healing from past childhood wounds, and the importance of discernment in choosing who walks alongside us through our healing journeys.If you’ve ever found yourself overwhelmed by anxiety or navigating a season that feels uncertain and out of control, this conversation offers a powerful reminder: you are not alone. In the midst of the spiral, God is present—and even in the messiness of life’s shifting seasons, it’s possible to discover deep, lasting joy.
