On this episode of the Built to Last: Training Up Kingdom Kids series, we sit down with Kayla Graham whose love for Jesus never disappeared, even when her heart was hurting. In a deeply honest conversation, she shares the silent battle of walking through infertility, wrestling with unanswered prayers, and navigating the anger with God that slowly turned into bitterness.

This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered why God feels quiet in seasons of pain. Together, we talk about grief, surrender, and what it looks like to hold onto faith when life doesn’t unfold the way you hoped. Her story is raw, powerful, and full of hope for those learning to trust God again in the middle of disappointment.

No one talks enough about the weight of raising humans. The pressure to get it all right, the mess-ups, the responsibility, and so much more. In this first episode of Built to Raise, we explain how to crush parenting without getting crushed. And there's good news...you don't have to carry the weight alone!

In this episode, Melissa puts Josh in the hot seat and asks some tough question. From funny and lighthearted to deep and personal, Josh lays it all out. No sermon notes. No dodging. Just real answers.

This episode is all about digging deep into Psalm 23. It's so powerful!

After a long bout of sickness, our 7 year old daughter asked, "Is Jesus mad at me?" As heartbreaking as this felt for a us as parents, it's a question adults also struggle with from time to time. Especially when life gets hard and His voice feels distant.

In this episode, Josh and Melissa discuss how they responded to this question. We'll also dive into how the love of God has nothing to do with anything we've done, pulling from scriptures in Titus, Psalms, and 1 Peter.

The conversation continues in part two of the episode with the last FOUR lies about sobriety.

*It's not a sin

*You deserve this

*It'll take the edge off

*Judgement

Ever been desperate to hear from God? So was Elijah. In 1 Kings 19 it says God wasn't in the wind, the earthquake, or the fire...He chose to speak to Elijah in a gentle whisper. Why a whisper? Could it be because a whisper would force Elijah to be engaged? Alert? Intently listening for the voice of God?

The world knows how to grab our attention! All it takes is flashy, overly dramatic, and over the top dopamine hits. But God will often choose a different route to speak to His children.

How many times have we been looking for God in the massive moments? He absolutely can speak in loud ways, but there's something special about Him getting our attention through a whisper.
