Country artist Chase Matthew joins Brooke Taylor and Pastor Mark Evans on The Upload for a deeply personal conversation about faith, grief, and discovering purpose. Raised Pentecostal in a family rooted in church, Chase shares how his faith journey wasn’t always straightforward. There were seasons when he questioned whether he even believed in God at all.

In the midst of grieving the loss of his aunt—one of his biggest musical inspirations—Chase found himself asking God for a sign: If You’re real, show me my purpose. What followed was a moment he describes as unmistakable. A direct answer from God: “You’re about to find out.” That phrase—YATFO—became his mantra, scribbled across notebooks, and soon marked a turning point as he began playing in his church’s youth band.

Chase opens up about growing up in the Pentecostal church, witnessing moments like speaking in tongues, the meaning behind his Isaiah 54:17 tattoo (“No weapon formed against you shall prosper”), and his ongoing struggles with shame. The conversation also dives into big questions about the afterlife and what Chase imagines heaven might be like.

This week on The Upload, Brooke Taylor & Pastor Mark Evans sit down with creator, majorette, and Nashville newcomer Chloe Holladay—and she drops a revelation right at the top of the episode: she secretly got married.

The details? Let’s just say… it wasn’t the fairy-tale, sparkly, over-the-top moment everyone would expect from someone who’s self-admittedly “extra” in almost every area of her life. Chloe shares exactly why she and her now-husband kept it quiet, what led them to make the decision so quickly, and the surprising outfit she ended up wearing to say “I do.”

Chloe also opens up about her journey from Crimsonette at the University of Alabama to becoming the first-ever majorette for the Tennessee Titans -- a position that didn’t exist until she boldly pitched it herself. Before that breakthrough, there was a long, uncomfortable waiting season where she moved to Nashville with zero plan, trusting that if God had led her there, He would provide the next step. And He did.

Chloe also gets vulnerable about her rise on social media. For two years she built a massive platform without sharing much about her faith. But after an influencer event in Los Angeles left her with overwhelming anxiety and a weight she couldn’t explain, she realized she had been grounding her identity in numbers, aesthetics, and doing things “for the video.” Stepping away from social media, she felt God speak clearly: her platforms would be used for His glory. When she returned, everything changed -- her voice, her content, and even her audience. She went from 300k followers to over a million simply by being obedient.

Chloe talks through the online hate, the comparison trap she fell into in college, and the spiritual grounding that brought her out of it. She shares what it looks like being a newlywed, growing her faith alongside her husband, and why their funniest (and fiercest) argument so far has involved grocery store leftovers.

🎧 Listen in to hear the full story behind Chloe’s secret wedding and the moment everything shifted.

Country artist Conner Smith joins Brooke Taylor and co-host Pastor Mark Evans on The Upload for his first in-depth conversation since the tragic accident that made headlines this past summer. Known for hits like “I Hate Alabama,” and “Creek Will Rise,” Conner has quickly risen through the country music ranks—touring festivals, releasing his debut album, and building a loyal fanbase. But behind the momentum was a season of profound heartbreak.

On the final day of CMA Fest, just one day after taking the Riverfront Stage, Conner was involved in a devastating accident that took a life. In this episode, he opens up with honesty and humility about the grief, trauma, and deep soul-searching that followed, and how the Lord became his anchor when the world around him collapsed.

Conner shares how God met him in the shock and silence, the community that rallied around him, and the spiritual “crushing and stripping” that has reshaped him in ways he never expected. He talks about learning to trust God in the valley, surrendering the weight he can’t carry alone, and how the peace he has today is only because of the presence of Christ in the darkest hours.

This is a powerful conversation about suffering, healing, and the God who restores what feels shattered beyond repair.
