Sometimes hope feels like the hardest thing to hold onto—especially when the ending of your story looks nothing like what you pictured. In this final episode of our Through the Fire series, I'm sharing how God taught me to hold on to hope—not because I had all the answers or could see the whole plan, but because He was still with me in the unknown. If you're standing in the ashes, wondering what's next, this one's for you. If you want to learn how to embrace the Dirt on your journey, come join me over on Substack at kawailani.substack.com

Who are you when the title is gone? In this raw and reflective episode of Through the Fire, we explore what it means to rediscover your identity in Christ after the role, the dream, or the achievement you clung to has been stripped away. I'm sharing the personal journey of losing the title “Firefighter,” and the deeper work God did to remind me that my worth isn't in what I do—but in who He says I am. If you've ever felt lost in the in-between, this one's for you. Let's uncover what was always true: you are still chosen, still called, and still His.     If you want to learn how to embrace the Dirt on your journey, come join me over on Substack at kawailani.substack.com

What happens when the dust settles after everything falls apart? In this deeply personal episode, I share how God used the fire—not to destroy me, but to refine me. I open up about the false identities I didn't know I was still carrying… and how, in the aftermath of a dream that didn't end how I hoped, God began to rebuild something deeper, stronger, and more honest. If you've ever found yourself questioning your worth, wrestling with your identity, or wondering what purpose looks like after a hard detour—this episode will meet you right there. You are not starting over. You're being rebuilt with grace, grit, and a God who never left.

What happens after the disappointment—when the plan falls apart, and you're left holding questions instead of answers? In this heartfelt episode of Dreams, Dirt & Grace, we step into the vulnerable space that comes after the fire. The space where God feels quiet, the next step isn't clear, and you're wondering if you missed something—or if you're just… stuck. Kawailani shares what it looked like to trust God when there was no clear direction, no “next big thing,” and no plan to follow. Through raw stories, tender reflections, and a moment of unexpected wisdom from her 5-year-old, this episode reminds us: Faith isn't always a bold leap—it's often found in the stillness. In the pause. In the surrender that says, “God, I don't know where this is going… but I'm choosing You anyway.” If you're in a season of waiting, wrestling, or wondering what comes next—this one's for you.

Today, John opens up about the emotional complexity of leaving Los Angeles for a new chapter in Costa Rica.

I'm running a 7-Day "Done with the Bullsh*t" Detox  — this isn't the kind with green juice and caffeine withdrawals. It's a soul-level cleanse.

Day 3: Unfollow the fantasy and stop chasing someone else's timeline. Day 4: Mute your inner critic and replace it with compassion. Day 5: Cut out comparison and come back to your own path. Day 6: Starve the reflex to fix everything — choose stillness instead. Day 7: Fast from the noise and finally hear yourself again. This isn't about becoming someone new. It's about coming home to who you've always been. This challenge is only $7 and starts June 16th. ⁠⁠SIGN UP HERE⁠⁠. Order John's new book, Break Up. On Purpose,⁠ HERE⁠ Jump into John's new Single.

When the ending isn't what you prayed for and the heartbreak feels heavy, peace might be the last thing you expect… and yet, somehow, it's what God offers in the middle of the wreckage. In this tender episode of Through the Fire, I'm sharing what it looked like to find peace after being released from Fire Academy—just weeks before graduation. The kind of peace that doesn't come because everything worked out… but because God was there, holding me in the heartbreak. If you're walking through a season that feels uncertain, painful, or unfinished—this one's for you. Because even when the story breaks, God's presence stays.

Through the Fire – Part 5 | Dreams, Dirt & Grace What do you do when you obey God, pour your heart into the journey, and the ending still doesn't look like what you hoped for? In this episode, I'm sharing the heartbreak of being released from Fire Academy just weeks before graduation—and the peace God gave me in the middle of it. This is a real look at unmet expectations, holy redirection, and the truth that even when the dream changes, God's faithfulness does not. If you're grieving an outcome you didn't choose, this one's for you.       If you want to learn how to embrace the Dirt on your journey, come join me over on Substack at kawailani.substack.com

Through the Fire – Part 3 | Dreams, Dirt & Grace What do you do when you're doing everything right—surrendering, obeying, showing up—and still feel like you're falling apart? In Part 3 of the Through the Fire series, I'm sharing one of the lowest points in my Fire Academy journey. The moment I failed in front of everyone. The moment the whispers got loud—“You're not strong enough. You don't belong here. You're failing.” This episode is a raw look at the heaviness of discouragement, the lies that creep in during the middle of the fire, and the truth that pulled me through. Because even when the outcome doesn't look how we hoped, God is still present. Still refining. Still carrying us. If you're feeling tired, stuck, or like you've lost your way—this one is for you.     If you want to learn how to embrace the Dirt on your journey, come join me over on Substack at kawailani.substack.com

Part 2: Obedience – Saying Yes When You Don't Know the End of the Story  Saying yes to God sounds brave… until you're walking it out in the middle of exhaustion, uncertainty, and doubt. In Part 2 of Through the Fire, I'm sharing the real and raw moments of what obedience looked like for me—saying yes to Fire Academy without knowing the outcome, trusting God while juggling motherhood, training, and the constant feeling of “Am I doing the right thing?” Obedience isn't always pretty. It's rarely easy. But it's always worth it. Because when we say yes, God doesn't promise clarity—He promises presence. This episode is for the woman in the messy middle, the one who's following God but starting to question the path. If that's you, you're not alone—and I pray this reminder gives you strength for your next step.   If you want to learn how to embrace the Dirt on your journey, come join me over on Substack at kawailani.substack.com

Welcome to a new Series... Through the Fire: Trusting God When the Outcome Breaks Your Heart   This isn't just a story about Fire Academy. It's a series about what happens when you say yes to God—and then the story doesn't go the way you thought it would. Through the Fire is a deeply personal journey of surrender, obedience, disappointment, and the kind of growth that only happens when you're refined by the hard. Whether you're walking through uncertainty, facing your own unmet expectations, or just wondering what God is doing in the middle of your mess, this series is here to remind you: You're not alone. He's not done. And even when the outcome breaks your heart—God is still writing something beautiful.   If you want to learn how to embrace the Dirt on your journey, come join me over on Substack at kawailani.substack.com

Yes, if you remember Karly talking about her Percabeth fanfiction and Harry Potter obsessed confidante, that is indeed Gill. Together, they dive deep into all four books of Jennifer Armentrout's Flesh and Fire series.

While answers to the question “How often do you think about the Roman Empire?” range from “daily” to “just about never,” Ancient Rome has a considerable impact on the lives of people in the West. On this episode, Russell Moore welcomes Tom Holland—award-winning biographer, historian, and author of Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World. Holland's new book Pax: War and Peace in Rome's Golden Age sheds light on the Roman Empire's lasting impact.  During their discussion, Moore and Holland consider the Roman influence on many American facets of life ranging from government to philosophy to gender. They consider what Ancient Rome can teach listeners about navigating dissension, the role of violence, and the role of virtue in maintaining a civilization. Their conversation covers the relationship of Ancient Rome to Christianity, how the Bible depicts Rome, and how to read Revelation with the Roman context in mind. Moore and Holland talk about radicalization, the October 7th Hamas attack, and the influence of social media.  Tune in for a powerful discussion that sheds light on specific ways our histories inform our present lives.
