Are you walking through a season of change—whether in your career, relationships, faith, or just life in general? Then this episode is for you.

On today’s Your Biggest Breakthrough, we sit down with Jarrod Graetz, former CEO of Australia’s largest Christian radio network and now a U.S.-based entrepreneur. Jarrod has faced the kinds of transitions most of us dread—leadership overhauls, financial crisis, global relocation, spiritual battles, and even the terrifying moment when his son lost the ability to walk just before their international move.

Through every twist and test, Jarrod clung to one truth: God’s got this.

🎙️ In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why Jarrod fired his entire sales team to honor God—and saw a miraculous turnaround
• How a $1.8M deficit became a $300k surplus during COVID
• What it looks like to obey God before seeing the provision
• The powerful vision that led him to walk away from everything

This isn’t just a story—it’s a roadmap for navigating change with bold faith and Holy Spirit-led courage.

If you need fresh strength to follow God's call—even when it doesn't make sense—this episode will encourage your heart and fire up your faith.

Have you ever wondered if God really hears your prayers? This episode might just be the confirmation you need.

We sat down with Vlad, whose story had us in tears—and in awe—of God’s relentless love. Abandoned by alcoholic parents, sent to a Ukrainian orphanage at just 7 years old, and surviving abuse and hopelessness, Vlad’s life seemed destined for pain. But then... God showed up—in the form of a man named Doug, whispered prayers in hidden bushes, and a loving family from Oklahoma who heard the call to adopt.

What makes this story so special is how relatable it is. You might not have grown up in an orphanage, but maybe you've felt unwanted, unseen, or like your prayers are bouncing off the ceiling. Vlad’s story will not only restore your hope, it’ll challenge you to love more boldly, believe more deeply, and trust that even the darkest seasons don’t get to write your ending.

If you’ve ever doubted your worth, questioned if prayer works, or needed a reminder that God still moves mountains, this episode is your breakthrough.

Expectations. We all have them—about how our day will go, how our relationships should work, and even how a simple hike will turn out. But what happens when reality doesn’t match what we envisioned? Frustration, disappointment, maybe even a little meltdown (just being honest!).

In this episode, we are sharing a real-life experience where our expectations got a serious reality check. From intense hiking surprises to grocery store battles and even dealing with our quirky little dog, we’re talking about how adjusting our expectations can make life (and marriage) a whole lot smoother. Plus, there’s a powerful biblical perspective that will challenge you to shift your focus and truly put others first.

So, are you the type who loves spontaneity, or do you need a solid plan? Either way, this episode is for you! Tune in, laugh with us, and let’s navigate this expectation game together.
