In this episode, we’re confronting a sobering yet deeply inspiring reality—the persecution of Christians around the world. You'll hear from Gia Chacon, a humanitarian, speaker, and founder of For the Martyrs, an organization dedicated to raising awareness and providing aid to persecuted Christians globally.

Gia shares first-hand stories of believers who remain steadfast in their faith despite intense suffering. She challenges us to consider what true faith looks like in the face of opposition and how we, as the global Church, can stand in solidarity with those risking everything for the gospel.

Listen in as Gia reminds us that faith isn’t just about what we believe—it’s about how we live, even in the face of hardship.

In this episode, we're diving into the power of art to move, inspire, and transform. Grant Skeldon sits down with Zac Lawson and Rebecca Brunner—two artists who believe creativity isn’t just for entertainment, but a way to connect with deeper truth and emotion.

Zac Lawson is a two-time grammy-nominated songwriter/producer with his brother, JVKE, best known for their song Golden Hour. Rebecca Brunner is a singer, songwriter who appeared on The Voice and America’s Got Talent and is best known for her song Round Hole.

In this conversation, both Zac and Rebecca explore what it means to create art you can feel—art that resonates with the soul, stirs something real in the human experience, and ultimately points back to the Creator. They challenge us to move beyond trends and create with authenticity, passion, and a sense of purpose.

This episode explores the intersection of faith, creativity, and meaningful work with master craftsman Matt Impola. Matt is the founder of Handcrafted Movement, a company dedicated to building intentional, beautiful, and functional spaces.

Learn from Matt why craftsmanship still matters in a world of mass production and instant gratification. He'll challenge you to rethink the way you approach your work—whether in wood, words, or any other craft—and to see excellence, beauty, and attention to detail as acts of worship.

In a culture that often prioritizes speed and efficiency over quality, Matt reminds us to slow down, to embrace the process, and to create things that are not only functional but meaningful. Tune in now!
