It's a Journey Radio

Have you ever felt like you're doing all the things for God, but still feel like it's not enough? In this episode, we're breaking down the difference between holy hustle and striving. It's time to stop performing and start surrendering- because his presence is greater than our performance. Scripture Used: Psalm 46:10 Galatians 3:3 Matthew 11:28-30 My Website: Hannah-Dobson.com Email: hello@hannah-dobson.com

Let's talk about the stuff nobody warned us about. Like the awkward pruning seasons. Or how your life doesn't magically get easier just because you're all in with Jesus. In this episode, we're diving into the less cute side of going deeper with God—and why it's still so worth it.

Everyone loves the idea of revival—until it starts costing them something. In episode 4 of our series ‘Revival Is In You', we're breaking down what it really means to walk in revival and why it will cost you your comfort, your plans, and maybe even your reputation. But here's the thing—when we surrender, we gain something so much greater. If you've been feeling stretched, challenged, or even straight-up uncomfortable in your walk with God, don't run from it. It might just mean you're stepping into real revival. Let's talk about it!

Do we actually want to live in revival—or do we just like the hype? Because listen… revival isn't about a conference high or that one Sunday where you got wrecked during worship. It's a lifestyle. Revival happens when we stop waiting for God to do something and actually start walking in what He's already given us. So, in this episode, we're getting real:


Everyone wants revival—until they realize what it costs. We love the idea of God moving, but do we actually want to live in revival? Because revival isn't something we wait for—it's something we walk in. So what's stopping you? Fear? Comfort? Distractions? In the second episode of our series 'Revival Is In You', we're exposing what's holding us back and breaking down how to actually carry revival everywhere we go.

We keep hearing "Revival is coming!" — but what if it's already here? And what if the reason we aren't seeing it isn't because God is holding back, but because we are? In this first episode of our series “Revival Is In You”, we're flipping the script on revival. It's not just some event we attend or something we wait around for. Revival is a lifestyle. It's inside of you. If you have the Holy Spirit, you don't have to wait for a move of God-YOU ARE THE MOVE OF GOD. You are carrying him with you everywhere you go! So, what's stopping us from actually walking in revival? What's keeping us comfortable, distracted, or afraid? Let's get real about why so many of us feel stuck waiting and how we can actually start living like revival is already in us.

We all know relationship red flags—like when they say “I love Jesus” but their Bible is collecting more dust than their gym membership. But what about spiritual red flags? The sneaky, subtle ways we can look holy on the outside but be missing real, deep relationship with God? In this episode, we're doing a heart check, no judgment! Just laughs, real talk, and some hard truths about the difference between performing faith vs. actually living surrendered to God.

"Is this really God… or am I just making it up?" If you've ever asked yourself that question, you're not alone. One of the biggest struggles in hearing God's voice is wondering if it's actually Him—or just your own thoughts. But the good news? God wants you to be confident in hearing Him!

How to recognize when it's God speaking (John 10:27)
How to tell the difference between God, your own thoughts, and the enemy (2 Corinthians 10:5)
Practical ways to test what you hear (1 John 4:1)
What to do when you're still unsure

Have you ever thought, ‘Maybe I'm just making this up,' or ‘Only super spiritual people can hear God'? If so, you're not alone! There are so many myths about hearing God's voice that keep people stuck in doubt or frustration.

Once upon a time(around November 2017) in the quiet town of Campbell, California, a quiet, socially awkward girl named Ally(who couldn't even dance) was put behind the decks in her friends garage, and as soon as those headphones came on, she was hooked. From that day on she honed her skills, playing any chance she got, and as her ability grew, so did her confidence. Suddenly, she caught herself doing her own little bounce and wiggle behind the booth. All of the sudden, she was confident enough to play out at clubs! Ally is still slowly evolving her style, playing Disco, Slutty Tech House, and Dark Moody Techno, depending on her mood. Over the last few years she has been lucky enough to play events with David Harness, Mood II Swing, NIck Monaco, and Jozif. She has also had the pleasure of playing The Black Skull Carnival, and Outerlimits Festivals. She has recently joined the Common Ground Crew, as well as the all female team of Supervixen, and is excited for whatever comes next

After a tremendous debut at the legendary Audio SF in early ‘18, WEZ rapidly grew into his current role as a local heavy hitter in the scene. With roots in dubstep and trap sounds, he tends to lean toward the heavier spectrum of techno and house. His perfectionist attitude towards mixing and penchant for being so secretive with the hidden gems he tosses into his sets have gone far to help him stand out amongst his peers. It's thanks to this that he has kept a busy booking schedule making regular appearances throughout the Bay Area at venues such as 1015 Folsom, Halcyon, LV44, and several underground after hours events. Wez joins us on the show along with a close friend, Jazzy UK.
