Why is this happening? Does God truly work all things for good?

All things? Even death, destruction, pain, and addiction? What about murder?

Ward found himself working as a police officer in the heart of the L.A. riots, witnessing horrors he never thought he'd see, including the loss of his closest friend and partner.

To numb the pain, he turned to a nightly ritual of a giant glass of rum, just enough to escape—until it was time to face the world again the next day.

Where was God in all of this? Could He truly work it for good? Was He really in control?

Ward’s answer: He is.

If you’re like Ward or I, it’s time to answer those tough Christian questions and connect with the One who can break your addictions, heal your mental health, and lead you to your true purpose.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

How badly have you screwed up? Your life? Your relationships? Maybe even your faith?

Have you done enough to make up for your past, the people you hurt?

What does change, redemption, and transformation look like?

Having spent much of his life in an undercover law enforcement role, Paul lost touch with his true self, impacting his life, relationships, and faith. His life takes a turn when he experiences a powerful moment where the literal voice of God reaches him, confronting him in a way that shakes belief in his own control and forces him to face who he is.

If you’re struggling like Paul or I, it’s time to confront those difficult questions about faith and seek a deeper connection with God. The One who has the power to break your addictions, heal your mind, and guide you toward your true purpose is waiting.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Do you struggle with anxiety, alcohol addiction, or marriage issues? Spirituality? How about pride? What is "Marine marriage"?

Have you ever felt invincible? What's it like behind the scenes as a Marine? How does it feel to be responsible for protecting the President?

What happens when you're so full of pride because of who you think you are and what you do, that nothing can stand in your way? Not even God...

Then, it all comes crashing down. The accumulation of work and life causes such anxiety that you freak out over a simple sound from your phone, and you're not even sure why your wife would stick around.

You contemplate life, and death, and wonder if it would all be better if it was over.

Can Jesus fix what is so desperately broken?

Will God really come through?

If you’re like Josh or I, it’s time to answer those tough Christian questions and connect with the One who can break your addictions, heal your mental health, and lead your transformation.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Why are you here? What's your purpose? Is Spiritual life just a waste of time?

Have you ever wondered what really happens behind the scenes of Christian life, a pastor's life, or church culture?

We often see the “perfect” pastor on Sundays, but what about the struggles of addiction, mental health, and grief they face?

What is moral injury and why does it affect us the way it does?

In this episode, I sit down with Pastor and Chaplain Jared Altic for an open, honest conversation about Jesus, theology, church culture, Christian life, and the point of it all.

It’s time to finally face the questions. It’s time to take off the mask, be honest, and connect with the One who can break your addictions, heal your grief, and lead your transformation.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Have you been there? The struggle feels never-ending, and the hits just keep coming. Spiritual life seems so far away.

You're addicted to control, because things will only spiral worse if you let it go. You have to fix it all yourself, even if you're a Christian.

Jake thought he could fix everything—his marriage, his parenting issues, his health. He believed he had the power to make it all work. But even as Jesus was trying to lead him elsewhere, Jake wouldn’t let go. He was addicted.

Control was his thing. As a police officer, husband, and father, he believed everything would go as planned because he was in charge. But everything fell apart—his marriage couldn’t be fixed, his body showed signs that something was wrong, and his mistakes with his children became undeniable.

In the end, Jake had no choice but to admit his failures and turn to God for help.

If you’ve ever been where Jake or I have been, it’s time to finally face those questions. It’s time to find healing and connect with the One who can break your addictions, heal your grief, and lead your transformation.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Have you ever felt empty, like you had nothing left? Can spirituality make a difference?

Jason was searching for something, but he didn’t know what it was. He thought he could escape his past, but he was addicted to who he used to be. As a firefighter with a good job, he seemed to have everything—except something was missing. He felt so empty.

In his grief, he visited a Christian church, hoping to find what he was missing. But instead, he was turned away at the door. He was told he didn’t belong because of how he was dressed. That rejection felt like the end—of his search, his hope, and even his life.

If you’ve ever been where Jason or I have been, it’s time to finally face those questions. It’s time to find healing and connect with the One who can break your addictions, heal your grief, and lead your transformation.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Have you ever felt like it couldn’t get worse, and then it does—even in a Christian marriage? Even with a spiritual life?

Anthony and his wife thought their relationship couldn’t get much worse, and their personal lives weren’t any better. He found himself questioning, "Will it get better? Is there a way to save this? To save us?" Alcohol addiction became his escape.

"What is marriage supposed to look like?" he wondered. Where is God in all of this?

Christian marriage is already hard, but being married to a Police Officer and dealing with mental health struggles behind the scenes makes it even harder—often toxic.

When everything falls apart and you’re pushed to the edge, the only thing left to do is trust Jesus to redeem and transform it all.

Is God really capable? Will He show up?

If you’ve ever been where Anthony or I have been, it’s time to finally face those questions. It’s time to find healing and connect with the One who can break your addictions, heal your grief, and lead your transformation.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Have you ever felt like Christian faith, spiritual life, or even the church, was a waste of time?

Steve felt that way and walked away from faith long ago. He told his wife, "God, Jesus, religion—that’s your thing. I want nothing to do with it." Even after witnessing her miraculous healing, he remained skeptical.

But then, something changed. Like a Christmas morning revelation, everything shifted, and Steve and his family would never be the same.

If you’ve ever been where Steve or I have been, it’s time to finally face those questions. It’s time to find healing and connect with the One who can break your addictions, heal your grief, and lead your transformation.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
