In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, I sit down with minister, podcaster, and three-time author Justin Belt to dive deep into the themes of his latest book, The Purpose In The Pause. 🙏📖

We talk candidly about the toughest "pause moments" in life—the times when everything feels like it’s on hold or moving in slow motion. Justin opens up about what inspired him to write his book and how he personally navigated seasons of silence, uncertainty, and waiting on God.

Together, we uncover the pressure Christians often feel to perform, to always “get it right,” and the guilt that comes when life doesn’t go as planned. Have you ever wondered:

• “Did I do something wrong?”

• “Why does it feel like God isn’t showing up?”

• “Is God punishing me?”

Justin answers those questions with wisdom and grace as he challenges these misconceptions and shares how God uses pauses not as punishment—but as preparation. 💡

From breaking down the selfish tendencies that make us think the world revolves around our wants, to exploring how a silent season can become an echo chamber for our insecurities, this episode is full of insights, truth, and encouragement.

🎧 Tune in and discover how to embrace the pause, shift your perspective, and find purpose even when it feels like nothing is happening.

We’re back with Part 2 of our deep dive into the process of dating with Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Jane Johnson-Wall. In this conversation, we explore what really happens when the excitement of dating shifts from surface-level fun to the reality of building something deeper.

We unpack why it’s easy to get caught up in the vibes, fun, and commonalities—but harder to be truly naked with someone emotionally and mentally. What happens when the “fun” stops and real life shows up? We discuss the difference between chasing the dopamine hit of excitement versus embracing the vulnerability of honest, tough conversations.

From communication styles to self-accountability, we ask the real question: What’s the goal? Together, we explore how resentment can grow on both sides if tough conversations are avoided, and why seeking peace in relationships often matters more than chasing fleeting happiness.

If you’re navigating dating, love, or long-term relationships, this episode will challenge you to rethink connection, communication, and the path toward building something real
