It's Time to Rise Up
Our mission is to inspire and encourage men and women, across denominational lines, to pursue an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.

John’s Gospel doesn’t start with a manger or a genealogy. It starts before time, with a bold claim: Jesus is the Word, Jesus is God, and Jesus is the One through whom everything was made. Around the table, we read John 1 out loud and let it challenge the “small” versions of Jesus we’re tempted to settle for, replacing them with a Savior who is Creator, Light in the darkness, and the cle...
A strong marriage can still drift into silence, and it usually happens in plain sight. We sit down with Daniel Moore, marriage counselor, ministry leader, and author of "The Marriage Communication Toolkit: How to Talk and Truly Be Heard", to get honest about why couples stop talking, why “logistics only” conversations kill closeness, and how to rebuild connection without turning every hard moment into a ...
What if praying for healing isn’t reserved for “the really spiritual” people, but is part of normal Christian life? We lean into that question and finish our healing series with Seantell Coffey, getting as practical and biblical as possible about how believers can pray for the sick with faith, love, and calm confidence.
We walk through the scriptural foundation for healing prayer and spiritu...
Fear has a way of getting loud when your body is hurting, and your prayers feel unanswered. We sit down with Seantell Coffey to talk about biblical faith and healing in a way that protects the tender places: no blaming the sick, no shrugging with “God will do what He’ll do,” and no pretending symptoms aren’t real. We keep coming back to a simple, strong truth: faith is confidence in Jesus, an...
Sickness is scary enough without spiritual confusion layered on top of it. So we sit down with Seantell Coffey to get brutally clear about what the Bible actually says about healing and what it does not say. We talk about why calling a diagnosis a “blessing” can quietly distort your view of God, how Scripture frames sickness as something God redeems rather than something He gives, and why the heart of Je...
Healing is one of those topics that can stir up hope and heartbreak at the same time, especially if you have prayed for a long time and nothing seems to change. We sit down with returning guest Seantell Coffey to slow things down and to rebuild a biblical view of Christian healing rooted in God’s character, not hype, guilt, or formulas. If you or someone you love is dealing with chronic illness, pain, or a sca...
A night on an apartment floor changed everything. Amanda’s life had been marked by abusive relationships, addiction-fueled chaos, and the crushing belief that she was beyond love—three kids by three different fathers and a heart full of shame. One raw surrender—no script, no polish—set a new course that reshaped her identity, her family, and her purpose.
We walk through the aftermath o...
What if the chaos you grew up with felt so normal that safety seemed boring? That’s where Amanda’s story begins—inside a childhood shaped by alcohol, abuse, and constant turmoil, where “never” felt strong until life pressed hard enough to break it. She walks us through first sips and first highs, the rush of meth and the crash that followed, and the way male attention became a counterfe...
A hard heart. A bold knock. Tears in a hospital room. That’s how a quiet surrender began—and how a marriage and a man found their footing again. We sit down with Marcus and Keli Keener to trace a redemption story that blends miracle moments with honest, daily work: instant freedom from addiction alongside a longer journey through anger, anxiety, and depression.
Keli shares how she met Jesus first,...
What if the road out of suffering isn’t a shortcut but a map—one that leads through truth, courage, and the steady kindness of God? That’s the heart of our conversation with Chantel Coffee, a prayer minister whose story stretches from a chaotic childhood and early abandonment to a chronic illness spiral fueled by anxiety, mold exposure, and misdiagnoses. She shares how perfectionism and a fearful v...
The morning started before sunrise with a whispered prayer, a packed waiting room, and a promise from Matthew 19:26 echoing in our heads: with God, all things are possible. Hours later, the surgeon’s few words—“we got it”—opened a flood of relief. What followed wasn’t just a recovery; it was a cascade of moments that stitched faith and medicine into one story of mercy: Heather wak...
A phone that won’t pick up. A long drive filled with questions. And a CT scan that stops the room. When Heather traveled to care for her dad, no one expected a sudden collapse, an ER scramble, and the words brain tumor. The first hospital hinted at the worst and the weather grounded any hope of flying her closer to home. That storm rerouted them to Little Rock, where an MRI reframed fear into a plan and a top ...
What if your marriage isn’t just about happiness, but about holy purpose? We sit down with Daniel Moore to unpack his new book, Marriage as a Mission, and the hard-won lessons that turned personal pain into a roadmap for hope. From covenant vows to daily habits, this conversation reframes marriage as a God-witnessed commitment designed to bless more than two people.
We start with the difference between ...
What if your spiritual life felt less like a checklist and more like a living connection that fuels every part of your day? Daniel and Michelle Moore sit down with author and teacher Kim McIntire to unpack what it truly means to abide in Christ from John 15—and how a simple, consistent rhythm of Scripture, prayer, and praise can move you from duty to delight. Kim shares her journey from faithful routines to a ...
Hope may start at the table. We sit with Titus and Lesli Neuenschwander, a couple who turned personal heartbreak into Restoration House, a Carthage, Missouri home where families stay, eat, play, and gently relearn how to be together. Their story begins with adoption, threads through the deep ache of losing a child, and arrives at a surprising answer: combine therapy with radical hospitality so trust can grow where f...
A routine ride to an OB appointment turned into a cascade of small yeses that changed a family forever. We invited Sammy and Josh into the studio to share how a simple act of showing up for a young woman in shelter led to bringing her home for safety, standing beside her at a sonogram, and eventually saying yes to kinship care when private adoption plans fell apart. What began as protection for a birth became a stor...
What if your Bible stopped feeling like homework and started sounding like God’s voice? In this conversation with Kim and Amber, we walk through a transformative shift: reading Scripture not just for information, but for encounter. Kim shares the turning point—a simple Saturday class—that taught her to ask better questions, slow down to a passage, and respond to what God was saying. That practice d...
A lighthearted catch‑up turns into a turning point: Amber Sampson sits down with our podcast host, Kim, as she opens up about a steady childhood, a lonely adolescence, and the day fear drove her to an abortion clinic—where she heard a sentence that changed everything: “Leave this place and I will take care of you.” What follows is a tender, unfiltered testimony about God meeting people in dark room...
A simple yes can change the spiritual climate of a home and a church. That’s the current running through our conversation with Pastor Grant Curtis of Faith Assembly in Joplin, where a nearly canceled worship night became the spark that led him—and his daughters—into a room pulsing with hunger for God. We trace the chain of small obediences, from an unexpected invitation to Rise Up to the choice to ...
