Some lies aren’t told to deceive others… they’re told to fix something inside of us.

In this episode, I break down a moment from my past where I told a story so many times, it stopped being a lie and started feeling like a memory. What started as something small—something harmless—turned into something I actually believed.

We’re not just talking about lying… we’re talking about what happens when lies become identity.

Because the most dangerous lie isn’t the one that fools other people—
it’s the one that fools you.

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to be something you’re not…
if you’ve ever shaped your story just to feel like you belong…
this one’s for you.

Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you try, life just won’t go the direction you want?

Out on the lake, everything felt easy—until I tried to turn around. The harder I paddled, the more the wind pushed me the opposite way. Frustration set in, control slipped, and I hit a moment where I had to make a choice:

Keep fighting… or let go.

What happened next taught me something I won’t forget.

This episode is about being out of position, fighting battles you were never meant to control, and what happens when you finally say, “God, take me where You want me.”

There are moments in life where you know… you just know… you saw it right.

This episode takes you back to a smoky off-track betting room, a young kid riding a streak on the number 7, and one decision that didn’t go the way it should have.

Or at least… didn’t go the way it seemed.

What started as a simple memory with my grandpa turned into a deeper truth about how we handle the moments we think we missed—and how God is still working even when things don’t go our way.

Proverbs 16:9 says, “A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.”

Maybe what didn’t happen in your life… wasn’t a loss.

Maybe it was direction.

So if you’ve ever looked back and thought, “I should’ve…”
This one’s for you.

Grab your bucket… and get ready to fill it.

What does it really mean to keep your cool when everything in you wants to react?

In this episode, I take it all the way back — sitting on the floor playing PlayStation with my dad, getting frustrated, ready to lose it… while he just sat there laughing. At the time, I didn’t understand it. Now I do.

This isn’t just a story about a game. It’s about control, humility, and learning how not to let your emotions take over — especially when you’re losing.

We also take a look at John, the disciple Jesus loved, and what made him different. Why didn’t he react like the others? What did he understand that we often miss?

If you’ve ever felt yourself getting overwhelmed, frustrated, or ready to snap — this one’s for you.

Grab your bucket and get ready to fill it.

A powerful message about rejection, identity, and finding where you truly belong. Through a personal story of childhood bullying, loneliness, and transformation, this sermon explores how the wrong environment can distort how we see ourselves—and how the right one can bring out who we were always meant to be. Most importantly, it points to the truth that even when people don’t choose you, God already has.

Last time, I told the story of walking 6 miles in the dark… when everything in my life fell apart.

But what I didn’t tell you is what happened years later.

I had the money.

I had the lifestyle.

I had everything I thought I wanted.

And I was still empty.

This is the story of what happens when God doesn’t take it from you…

but asks you to lay it down.

From success without peace…

to surrender, sobriety, and rebuilding a life piece by piece.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in between—

not where you were, but not where you’re supposed to be—

this one’s for you.

God doesn’t just bring you out of the dark…

He teaches you how to walk in the light.

What happens when your life falls apart—and you know it’s partly your fault?

In this episode of The Deep Well Podcast, we explore a powerful real-life story of struggle, failure, and redemption, tied to the biblical story of David at Ziklag (1 Samuel 30).

Topics include:

Hitting rock bottom

Dealing with failure and consequences

Faith during hard seasons

Finding purpose after everything falls apart

If you’re searching for hope, direction, or a fresh start—this episode will speak to you.

In Matthew 7:21–23, Jesus gives one of the most sobering warnings in all of Scripture—“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven.”

This episode breaks down what real faith actually looks like. Not words. Not appearances. Not just claiming His name—but living in obedience to Him.

There is a difference between knowing Jesus… and being known by Him.
