Podcasts about going there

Has your spiritual growth hit a plateau? Amy and I are back with our friends Cesar Delgado and Sam Tenney to share their journeys and the transformative power of honest feedback in spiritual growth. We aren't just talking about surface-level advice; we're getting real about trust, submission, and the beauty of doing life together. I'm sharing how honest, sometimes difficult feedback is actually the fuel that refines your character and sharpens your skills. If you've ever wondered why you aren't growing, this conversation might just be the wake-up call you've been waiting for. You'll hear about the power of personal investment and how biblical insights can completely shift your perspective on your calling. Mentorship isn't about knowing everything - it's about the transformative power of vulnerability. You're not going to know something about your blind spots unless somebody loves you enough to point them out! Get ready to be challenged, encouraged, and equipped to level up your walk with God.

Want to learn how to leave a leadership role without burning bridges? I've learned the hard way that transitioning in ministry isn't just about the "next thing"- it's about how we honor the "now thing." In this episode, Amy and I sit down to get real about the messy, beautiful journey of mentorship and leadership development. We're sharing our own stories of growth, grief, and the lessons we've picked up along the way. If you're searching for a mentor or trying to figure out how to pour into the leaders rising up around you, we made this for you. We're walking through the practical, heart-level steps to honoring your past while stepping boldly into your future. I often think about how every community has its own unique sound. Learning to lead isn't about changing that sound to match yours; it's about learning to honor the harmony that was there before you arrived. I want to help you process the mixed emotions of transition so you can lead with a clear heart. If you found something to hold onto throughout this mentoring series, tag @biancajuarezofficial and @amylynnettee on social media to let us know. We would love to continue the conversation there. We hope you leave feeling a little more equipped and encouraged.

Is the fear of damaging a relationship stopping you from having a difficult conversation? I've been there, and I know how isolating that tension can feel. But here is the truth: wounds from a friend can be trusted, and real growth only happens when we're willing to go there. In this episode, Amy and I are pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like to lead, mentor, and disciple in the messy reality of ministry. We're talking about the "relational collateral" required to speak truth into someone's life and how to correct in love without crushing their spirit. Whether you're navigating past trauma that's showing up in your leadership or learning how to handle a tough sermon critique, this conversation is for you. It's time we stop settling for surface-level peace and start pursuing the spiritual maturity that comes through honest, grace-filled accountability.

Finding a mentor often brings immense pressure, especially when you realize you have no idea what you're actually looking for - or worse, who to trust with your growth. If you've ever felt the tension of wanting to grow as a leader but feeling stuck, this episode is for you. In Day 2 of our mentoring series, Amy Ayala and I went deep into the "heart" of mentorship. It's not just about who has the biggest platform or the most followers on social media; it's about character, resilience, and that prophetic "X-factor" that you can't teach. Amy and I talked openly about the importance of being "seen" by a mentor and why loyalty, honor, and the willingness to put in the "reps" are what actually prepare you for your next season. Whether you are looking to be mentored or you are ready to start pouring into someone else, we're breaking down what it actually looks like to lead well. You cannot be what you don't see, so let's talk about how to open your eyes to the right potential. Tag us @biancajuarezofficial and @amylynnettee on social and tell me your biggest takeaway.

In this episode, Amy Ayala and I are pulling back the curtain on our own journey—the real, raw, and often unspoken costs of discipleship. We're talking about the spiritual, emotional, and practical realities that come with leading well.  If you've ever felt the weight of leadership or the fear of being surpassed, this conversation is for you.

Have you ever felt the weight of an offense sitting in your chest like a stone, keeping you from the peace you know you're meant to carry? In this episode I sit down with Pastors April and Micahn Carter to get real about the "spirit of offense." We're cutting through the noise to expose how holding onto hurt isn't just a spiritual issue, it's a physical and relational cage. If you've been feeling isolated, exhausted, or stuck, this conversation is your key to freedom. We're breaking down the roots of bitterness and bringing you the spiritual tools to walk in true liberation.In this episode, we dive into: The Roots of Bitterness: Micahn pulls back the curtain on why we get offended—often it's the entitlement, the embarrassment, or the unrealistic expectations we hold over others. The "Proximity" Trap: Why the people closest to us; our church family, our familia, our dearest friends; are the ones who wound us the deepest. Decisional vs. Emotional Forgiveness: We aren't just talking about saying "I forgive you." We're teaching you the difference between the choice to let go of revenge and the daily work of replacing resentment with compassion. Prayer as an Anointing: Learn why it is impossible to stay angry when you are actively, fervently praying for the very people who hurt you. Owning Your Story: True healing starts when we realize we've all been the offender at some point. We discuss how to swallow our pride, listen to the pain behind the conflict, and walk in grace.

What do you do when life tries to shrink you, but God keeps calling you to stand tall? This week, I sat down with my brother‑friend Tim Ross in The Basement for a raw, unfiltered conversation about the parts of my story most people only see in fragments. Tim gave me the space to go there - all the way there - and I didn't hold back. I opened up about the parts of my story that shaped me, stretched me, and ultimately rebuilt me - not through perfection, but through obedience. In this episode, we touch on: Losing a marriage, a home, and financial security - and choosing faithfulness anyway How art curation unexpectedly prepared me to bring theology to life Healing after rejection and remembering Jesus as my Kinsman Redeemer Why my restoration was never tied to a man, a marriage, or money If you've ever felt pressure to shrink, disappear, or carry shame that God never assigned to you, this conversation will breathe courage into your spirit.

Do you ever feel stuck in hurt, replaying what someone said or did, unsure how to actually move forward? In this episode, we sit down with Yana Jenay Conner, author of Living Beyond Offense, to talk about the real, often messy work of forgiveness.

We explore how to process pain honestly, let go of offense without minimizing what happened, and begin moving toward freedom and peace. If forgiveness has ever felt confusing, costly, or out of reach, this conversation offers a grounded and hopeful path forward. Craving more from Going There the Podcast? Come be our friend!

Morgan shares how a self-focused mindset can leave us feeling anxious and unfulfilled, and instead invites us into a better way of living that's centered on making much of Christ.

If you've ever felt the pressure to perform—to be the perfect wife, the most productive worker, the best mom, or even the most devoted Christian—you know the exhausting grip of a performance-based identity.  In this heart-to-heart episode, I share the difference between the identity you earn and the identity you receive. I unpack how the relentless pursuit of achievement is a spiritual trap that steals our peace and obscures the simple, profound truth of our worth in Christ. This is not about doing less; it's about shifting the why behind your doing. We explore practical, faith-aligned ways to disentangle your self-worth from your external output, embracing the radical rest that comes from knowing your value is settled.  Tune in for a message that will liberate your heart and draw you back to the truth of grace.

Grace. A word that is thrown around lightly, and although wonderful, in our humanness we often get it wrong. Without grace we are stuck in the turmoil of shame spiraling. With grace, we are made new. Join us as we unpack the gospel picture of grace—one that not only forgives us completely but also transforms our lives.

Is Your Strength a Spiritual Gift, or a Survival Tactic? You wear the word "Resilience" like a badge of honor. You have endured, survived, and carried the weight. We celebrate that power. But what if the very strength that saved you is now the barrier keeping you from what you truly need: healing, rest, and surrender? This week, we confront the Resilience Paradox: The more you rely on your own ability to bounce back, the less space there is for God's power to carry you through. It's time to trade your relentless grit for His grace. Tag me @biancajuarezofficial to share how you are breaking the paradox.

In a world that tells us partial obedience is “good enough,” we're digging in to what Scripture says and why obedience isn't about rules—it's about relationship.

Why is it so hard to say no, set boundaries, or disappoint people—even when we know what God is calling us to do? In this episode we're diving into the struggle of people pleasing and the tension between seeking approval from others and honoring God. We unpack the heart behind approval-seeking, how it quietly shapes our decisions, and what Scripture says about living a life that pleases God.

Life rarely comes together the way we expect. Having hope in that confusion can feel messy, fragile, and unfinished—and that's exactly where it becomes real. In this conversation, Kirby Kelly shares the unfolding of her life and what impacted her learning to have confident hope. A hope that is not wishful, but proven and secure. We get honest about faith in hard seasons, healing that takes time, and what it looks like to keep showing up when hope feels thin. Craving more from Going There the Podcast? Come be our friend!

Are you exhausted from trying to look perfect and polished? I'm diving deep into the chokehold of performance and anxiety that keeps so many of us trapped. I'm calling out the Pharisee Complex—the dangerous lie that says excellence equals worthiness. It's time to trade in that prison of perfection for the radical freedom found in grace. I'm giving you the keys today, including three practical, one-thing-only steps to embrace wholeness over flawlessness.  Key Takeaways for a Quick Win God desires wholeness (telios), not flawlessness. Stop striving to be perfect; start pursuing maturity and completeness. Perfectionism is a prison that limits our freedom; it's not a personality type, it's often a protection mechanism. Radical Repentance is the shift from a life of damage control to a life dependent on God's grace. Family, I love you and I'm cheering for you to walk in this new freedom. Don't keep this key to yourself! If this episode broke a chain in your life, you know someone else who needs to hear it.

Are you constantly chasing the next achievement, but still feel like it's never enough? Do you know deep down that "high-achieving" hustle is actually wearing you out? I'm kicking off the New Year, and I'm ready for more! But not more doing—more being. In this first episode of 2026, I'm peeling back the layers on how we, as high-achieving women, often confuse our drive with a deep-seated trauma response. That perfectionism? It's a mask. That performance-based identity? It's a stronghold, and we are dismantling it today!  I'm sharing my personal journey and the truth I had to face: "High achieving is often a trauma response."  This year, we are Trading Trauma Response for Trust! It's time to surrender control, trust God.  Key Takeaways: Why high achievement can be a coping mechanism. The power in surrendering control and choosing trust. Practical ways to align your ambition with your faith. The antidote to the "perfectionism prism." Let's stop performing and start living on purpose!

Do you dare to ask more of God, or are you afraid to sound selfish? Hey, fam! In this bonus episode I'm dropping bombs on why settling for 'just enough' is not your design! We're talking about that word 'more'—not the greedy kind, but the abundance God literally wired inside you! Share your abundance mindset shift with me @biancajuarezofficial. Love you, B RESOURCES/LINKS Takeaways Asking for more from God is not selfish. We are designed and destined with desire. God wants us to believe Him for more. Desire can be hijacked by trauma and past experiences. The danger of desire lies in greed, not in wanting more of God. God's nature is to provide abundantly for His children. We should not settle for complacency in our spiritual lives. Desire should be directed towards God, not selfish pursuits. We are called to awaken to the more that God has for us. Living in abundance requires action and faith. ⋇ Bianca's book Grit Don't Quit: Developing Resilience And Faith When Giving Up Isn't An Option. https://amzn.to/3MO74OC  ⋇ The Grit Don't Quit Bible Study is now available. https://www.biancajuaerzofficial.com/gdq  ⋇ So grateful to our sponsors!

"I just feel like when I see injustice, at this point in my life, I have to call it out." Katie Couric has been my idol since I was in high school, and it's truly an honor to welcome her to the Ali on the Run Show! We recorded this episode in person together on the Monday after the 2025 New York City Marathon, at Katie's home on the Upper East Side. Katie is a journalist who is best known for her 15-year career on the Today Show. Today, she is the founder of Katie Couric Media, where she publishes a daily newsletter (Wake Up Call), and hosts the podcast Next Question with Katie Couric. She is the author of Going There, she's a mom of two, and she's an avid pickleball player who, despite my best efforts, will not be signing up for a marathon anytime soon!

Is it possible to date with purpose, passion, and purity—especially when you're serving in ministry? In this fiery and faith-filled episode, I sit down with pastor Cesar Delgado and Sam Tenney of Revere Church, to unpack the real, raw, and sometimes ridiculous world of dating in the church. From awkward DMs to divine delays, we're talking about what it means to pursue love while staying rooted in your calling. Topics we dive into: Dating while in ministry—what's sacred, what's messy, and what's misunderstood Why values alignment isn't just cute—it's critical Communication, clarity, and calling: the triple threat for intentional relationships Boundaries that protect your heart and your holiness The beauty of waiting, healing, and letting God lead your love story Whether you're single, searching, or just spiritually curious, this episode will challenge you to rethink how you date, who you date, and why your relationship with God must come first. It's spicy, it's soulful, and it's straight-up necessary. Tune in, take notes, and tag your single besties—because this one's too good to keep to yourself. Show your appreciation to Sam and Cesar by tagging samuel_10e, @cesar_delgado, and me @biancajuarezofficial. Love you, B RESOURCES/LINKS Guests Pastor Cesar Delgado, Associate Pastor, Revere Church Sam Tenney, Guest Experience Director, Revere Church Takeaways The importance of being candid and real in conversations about dating. Dating and relationships can be challenging, especially in ministry contexts. Statistics can reveal the realities of the dating landscape. Values alignment is crucial for successful relationships. Clear communication is essential in dating. Men often struggle with expressing their intentions clearly. Women should also take responsibility for their dating expectations. Dating should be approached with purpose and intention. Personal values should guide relationship decisions. Community support is vital in navigating dating challenges. ⋇ Bianca's new book Grit Don't Quit: Developing Resilience And Faith When Giving Up Isn't An Option. https://amzn.to/3MO74OC  ⋇ The Grit Don't Quit Bible Study is now available. https://www.biancajuarezofficial.com/gdq  ⋇ So grateful to our sponsors!
