In this special episode, I sit down with my mom, Kiley Price, to talk about the pressure to have life “figured out,” what it means to live by faith when the future feels uncertain, and how to find peace when expectations weigh heavy. If you’ve ever felt like you’re falling behind in life or afraid of letting people down, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone.
We talk about what she’d tell her younger self in her 20s, her encouragement for women afraid of disappointing others, and her honest thoughts on raising daughters in today’s world. No matter what season of life you're in, this episode is the mom advice you didn't know you needed.
Whether you’re walking through a season of waiting, comparison, or fear, this conversation will point you back to hope — and remind you that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

Struggling to navigate social media as a Christian?
In this episode, I have the privilege of talking with Peyton McCombs, a Christian podcaster and faith-based creator from Owensboro, Kentucky. She is the host of The Jesus Sampler Podcast where she uses storytelling, testimony, and biblical truth to encourage others in their walk with God. Peyton’s passion is helping others encounter Jesus in their everyday lives and live boldly for Him both online and offline.
Together, Peyton and I dive into what it means to live out authentic faith on social media and how believers can navigate digital spaces without losing focus on their relationship with God. Peyton opens up about walking through a wilderness season and discovering a deeper sense of peace and discernment through surrender. The conversation explores the balance between faith and social media, how to guard your heart in an online culture obsessed with trends, and how to use your platform to inspire, uplift, and share the gospel with genuine purpose.
Be prepared to learn how to check your heart motives, pursue authenticity over aesthetics, and remember that your influence online is powerful when it’s rooted in truth. This episode is a reminder that faith isn’t about chasing followers or trends — it’s about living a life that points people to Jesus.

In this episode, I sit down with Danielle Danver, Youth & Young Adults Director, content creator, and woman of deep faith, to unpack what it truly means to steward influence through the lens of Scripture.
With a growing online community and a heart for helping others know God’s Word, Danielle shares her journey of faith — from encountering Jesus at a middle school church camp to rediscovering her calling later in life as a wife, mom, and ministry leader. Through seasons of drifting, surrender, and obedience, she’s learned that influence is never about numbers — it’s about faithfulness.
Danielle opens up about what holy influence looks like in a world obsessed with followers and virality, the temptation of comparison, and the peace that comes from aligning your heart with Kingdom purpose.
If you’ve ever wrestled with your own sphere of influence, questioned your purpose, or compared your calling to someone else’s, this episode will remind you that your ministry matters — right where you are.

Have you unknowingly pitched your tent in the land of “good enough”? In this episode, we’re unpacking what complacency really is—a self-satisfied state that can quietly keep you from the life God is calling you to live. We’ll explore how comfort, when left unchecked, becomes the silent enemy of progress.
If you’ve been feeling spiritually stagnant, disconnected from God, or stuck in routine, this conversation will challenge you to trade the safety of comfort for the stretching, refining, and transforming work of calling. It’s time to go where God says “Go”—even if it means leaving the camp you’ve built.
