Calling Is a Relationship, Not Just a RoleDr. Arianna Molloy shares how true calling is anchored in relationship with the Caller, not just what we do—and how this keeps us grounded and joyful over time. The Hidden Cost of CallingDr. Molloy explains why people who feel called are also most prone to burnout—and how to pursue a healthy, sustainable version of calling that doesn’t sacrifice your soul.

In this episode, host Christine Caine sits down with Alicia Britt Chole for a profound conversation on spiritual formation, leadership, and staying faithful through the night seasons. Alicia shares how she, as a former atheist, became a passionate follower of Jesus, learned to linger in Scripture, and why so many leaders fall short—not for lack of passion, but lack of depth. If you’ve ever wrestled with burnout, grief, or disillusionment in your faith, this episode offers hope, truth, and a deeply needed reminder: Jesus is with us in the dark. SHOW NOTES:From Atheist to DiscipleAlicia shares her radical encounter with Jesus and how her love for Scripture began the moment she believed. The Word Is Alive—So Don’t Just Read It, Relate to ItShe describes how lingering in just a few words of Scripture can lead to spiritual awakening and deeper intimacy with Jesus. Why Leaders Are Falling—and What We Can LearnThey unpack the growing trend of spiritual burnout and moral failure in leadership, and how depth and honesty are crucial for longevity. What We Do with Conviction Matters MostAlicia reminds us that the Holy Spirit is always working, but it’s our response to His conviction that shapes our future. The Night Is Normal—And Jesus Is in the Middle of ItThey explore what it means to find Jesus in suffering, how to process church hurt, and why shared pain with Christ becomes holy ground.

In this episode, host Christine Caine has a rich and honest conversation with Jackie Hill Perry about spiritual growth, pruning, and obedience. Jackie shares the purpose behind her six-month social media fast and how it's led to deeper intimacy with God, a renewed perspective on identity, and the refining process of laying down even good things. Together, they unpack why true transformation happens offstage, in private, when we embrace pruning and choose obedience—even when it costs us. Listen in for encouragement to pursue God above all else. SHOW NOTES:Choosing the Wilderness: Why Jackie Stepped Away from Social MediaJackie shares how intentional time away is helping her rediscover her identity, quiet distractions, and deepen her dependence on God. Obedience in the OrdinaryFrom motherhood to marriage, Jackie discusses how spiritual power is just as necessary in the mundane as it is on stage. The Deception of Fruitfulness Without Full SurrenderThey explore how distractions, even good ones, can cap our joy and fruitfulness if we aren’t fully surrendered. New Levels, New Battles: Why Obedience Must Grow with InfluenceChristine and Jackie talk about how spiritual responsibility increases with influence and why deep consecration is non-negotiable. Eternal Rewards and Lasting ImpactThis conversation challenges us to shift our focus from short-term applause to long-term, eternal rewards—and why our secret obedience matters most.
