Hunter Hayes sits down with Bobby to talk about what it was really like growing up in music, from performing at just 4 years old to becoming one of country music’s young stars. He opens up about the pressure of child stardom, why he eventually stepped away from Nashville, and what led him back to making music on his own terms. Hunter also shares what it felt like living a double life at times, balancing the expectations that came with early success while still trying to figure out who he was away from the spotlight. He talks about the freedom that came with leaving, the perspective he gained during that chapter, and how it shaped the way he creates now. Plus, Hunter gets into his love of Coldplay, the inspiration behind his new album, and why this next season of music feels different than anything he’s done before. Watch The BobbyCast on Netflix!

Most worship leaders think their problem is skill, confidence or pressure. It's not. In this episode, Alexandra Osteen from Lakewood Music reveals the deeper issue most leaders never address: identity. Because when you don't fully know who God created you to be, everything else feels harder—leading, preparing, even showing up on Sundays. Alexandra shares how her journey—from growing up in the church to leading at Lakewood—helped her move from uncertainty to confidence in her calling. You'll learn why identity shapes everything you do on stage, how to stop comparing yourself to other leaders, and what it looks like to lead from a place of peace instead of pressure. If you've ever questioned whether you're "good enough" to lead… this episode is for you.

Send me a some feedback!This episode captures a raw and unfiltered moment as Mike records from Nashville at the start of an Inner Wealth Mastermind retreat. What begins as a simple setup quickly turns into a deeper conversation about the real work being done—helping people move beyond surface-level change and into the patterns wired into their nervous system. Through a powerful reframing exercise, Mike challenges listeners to question what they believe is “true” about their lives and uncover the deeper conditioning driving those experiences.As the episode unfolds, Mike shares personal stories around visibility, body shame, and the fear of being fully seen, leading into a bold decision to confront those patterns head-on during the retreat. Using Marine Corps training as a parallel, he explains how repeated exposure to discomfort rewires the nervous system. This episode sets the foundation for doing the deeper work required to break internal limitations and step into a new level of freedom.Key TakeawaysYour nervous system determines your reality. What you experience in life is not just based on circumstance, but on what your nervous system is wired to accept, reject, or create. Reframing “I am” reveals deeper truth. Shifting from “I am” statements to “my nervous system is wired to…” exposes the root of your patterns and where real work begins. Avoiding discomfort keeps you stuck. Growth doesn't happen in comfort—it happens when you intentionally move toward what feels uncomfortable and confront it directly. Visibility can trigger deep internal resistance. Even when we consciously desire to be seen, unconscious patterns can create fear, shame, and self-sabotage when that visibility increases. Immersion rewires your nervous system. Just like in Marine Corps training, repeated exposure to discomfort can retrain your system to remain calm, present, and effective in previously triggering situations. Notable Quotes “My nervous system wasn't ready to be seen at that level yet. It wasn't quite ready. I had some work to do before I could be seen and before I could be experienced at that level of public visibility.”  “What most people don't understand is what's within them buried deep in their nervous system… it's that that's keeping all of that from them.”  “We can't do that by finding and seeking comfort. We've got to be willing to get uncomfortable.”  “When you first experience that, your body basically almost folds… you've never experienced that level of stress in your life.”  “When we release the blockages and the resistance that's inside of us… things that are perfect and aligned and natural for us… they'll start to flow into our life.” Call to ActionIf this episode connected with you and you're ready to stop rearranging your external world and start doing the deeper work that creates real, lasting freedom…If you're ready to understand how your nervous system is shaping your life—and how to begin rewiring it for what you actually want, email Mike directly:mike@innerwealthglobal.comYou'll connect directly with him—no assistant, no gatekeeper—just a real conversation to explore what's possible.Music Credit: "What's Left of Me" by Wes Hoffman & FriendsMike's Media:Website: https://www.innerwealthglobal.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mikekitkoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mike_kitkoTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mikekitkoSubscribe to my YouTube: / @mikekitko

Hockey - Recapping the Frozen Four Starts at 0:51 We gotta talk about the hockey tournament. The fake hockey tournament. Whether they won or lost, it doesn't change anything about who this team was. Michigan played well enough to win, but one shot in nine minutes ended it. Almost every year it's not the best team that wins, it's usually Duluth or Denver. Denver is like the UConn men's basketball of hockey. There's no emotional story to apply your fandom to when it's just randomness. Denver's lack of penalties that were objectively bad no-calls just doesn't make it feel fair, especially the way they called Michigan's penalty in OT. even Alex and David think it was egregious, the players that poured their hearts into this deserve better. There is something wrong with this tournament, there would be a lot more respect for Buccigross if he would say something along those lines. There's not something wrong with Michigan, there's something wrong with the tournament. Imagine if in basketball they just stopped calling fouls in OT.  2. Hockey - Looking Ahead Starts at 27:50 Moldenhauer and Hage have announced returns. Apparently players have been informed to avoid the AHL if they can, college is a lot more enjoyable. Jack Nesbitt is the 12th overall pick and could be coming in, he's a TJ Hughes replacement. He's in the OHL playoffs and might not make a decision right away. Cameron Reid could also be coming in from the OHL, 21st overall to Nashville. Perron is the biggest one on the fence, if you get him then all your holes are plugged. JP Hurlbert is coming in regardless but he might wait a year to contribute. Nick Seaman is coming in as a 4th liner, Cooper Dennis might get deferred (and is Alex Drain sized). A lot of teams will be better next season, but Penn State had Gavin McKenna and weren't that great. Michigan State isn't missing a beat. There are a lot more, and better, options than just going to the NHL these days. They should be a pre-season top three, or maybe even top one.  3. Hot Takes and Basketball Portal Starts at 59:16 Takes hotter than the Denver Pioneers. The Red Wings need to make David Carle their head coach so they can win while being out-shot 2:1. This information might be outdated by the time you hear it! What is happening in the portal right now? Not much. Michigan gets JP Estrella out of Tennessee. He's a high efficiency but low usage player which is weird. He's a moneyball play vs getting Flory Bidunga. Otherwise there's not a lot of chatter. We're starting to expect Morez Johnson to return. Michigan needs a true rim protecting center and could probably also use a starting three. Juke Harris is worth going after but not worth the big bag, give that to the Seton Hall center, Najai Hines. Freshman Brandon McCoy went to a camp and looks like a guy you could have for 20 minutes a game. There's a trust of Dusty in the portal that the fanbase didn't have with Juwan. The Big Ten runs college basketball now. How would Beilein have done during this era?  4. Spring Game Preview Starts at 1:38:41 Spring Game is this weekend at 2pm, 12-18 starters will be sitting out. Bryce will probably play since they don't have enough quarterbacks, we better see Savion Hiter. Position groups are going to be split into balanced squads rather than have a draft, making it more like a controlled practice than a real game. In years past it was frustrating to see future NFL linemen with a walk-on running back behind them, you can't learn much from that. We expect to see a more evolved version of the offense with more quarterback runs. There is Travis Johnson buzz at wide receiver. Brian doesn't want to hear about Kendrick Bell. Hogan Hanson is generating excitement and the offensive line has intriguing positional battles. Evan Link is back and might play, Babalola is not playing yet. Whittingham is good at running the quarterback, it won't be the 2011 offense but it should be effective. The coaches apparently like the depth on the defensive line and think it's the strength of the team, which, ehhhh. Brian breaks down why this is not true. They trust Palepale. Do you prefer EDGE or ED? Linebacker depth is a concern, they don't really have anyone to back up the three main guys. The secondary should be settled in. Shamari Earls is making a move at corner. Who's at nickel now? If Rod Moore isn't on the field in the spring game then enjoy a nice coaching career. Kerry Coombs brings a lot of old guy energy and gets mic'd up a lot. Jay Hill is like the mormon kid from South Park. Don't blame us if it rains.

  You know what you're supposed to do. You've known for a while. And yet here you are, on the other side of another day that didn't deliver what you intended, wondering why you keep choosing the version of yourself that never has to be tested. The uncomfortable truth is that you're not failing because you're lazy. You're failing because procrastination is solving a problem for you—the problem of having to find out who you actually are when the pressure is on. Jon Acuff joins me for a conversation that is equal parts diagnostic and liberating. Jon is one of the sharpest thinkers working in this space—a New York Times bestselling author whose new book, Procrastination Proof, makes the case that your delay is not a discipline problem. It's a fear problem. And until you understand what procrastination is actually protecting you from, no system, no strategy, and no surge of motivation will hold. We cover the lie that one breakthrough will change everything, why you keep giving advice to your past self while ignoring your future one, the pre-decision framework that removes the daily negotiation with yourself, and what it actually means to build a motivation portfolio instead of chasing a feeling. What Jon names in this conversation is something most productivity content never gets close to: the invisible cost. Every day you delay is not a neutral act. It is a vote for the version of you that never has to be exposed, refined, or tested. And that version of you has been winning long enough. This conversation will not let you stay comfortable. It will invite you to take an honest look at what you are actually protecting, who you are actually becoming, and what it would cost you to finally give yourself permission to start. Guest Bio Jon Acuff is a New York Times bestselling author of twelve books, including Soundtracks, Finish, and Procrastination Proof, which together have sold more than one million copies. Named one of Inc.'s Top 100 Leadership Speakers, he delivers keynotes to companies including Microsoft, Walmart, Comedy Central, and Chick-fil-A. He hosts the podcast All It Takes Is a Goal and lives outside Nashville with his wife and two daughters. In this conversation, Jon brings his signature combination of humor, forensic self-awareness, and hard-won practical frameworks to the question most productivity culture refuses to ask honestly: what is your procrastination actually protecting? Show Partner SafeSleeve designs a phone case that blocks up to 99% of harmful EMF radiation—so I'm not carrying that kind of exposure next to my body all day. It's sleek, durable, and most importantly, lab-tested by third parties. The results aren't hidden—they're published right on their site. And that matters because many so-called EMF blockers on the market either don't work or can't prove they do. We protect our hearts and minds—why wouldn't we protect our bodies too?

Lilias Trotter was a woman who did not fit the mold of her Victorian era. Born in 1853 into upper-class England, she was an exceptionally gifted artist mentored by John Ruskin, one of the most prominent art critics of her time. Yet, rather than pursuing conventional success and artistic fame, she chose a path of surrender—one that blended beauty, compassion, and deep spiritual vocation. She has much to teach us about a life of joyful surrender to God's gentle leading.Did you know? Lilias Trotter inspired the famous hymn, Fix Your Eyes Upon Jesus – yes, so that “all things will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.”Stephanie welcomes Jennifer Trafton, who just released “If only we could see”, a wonderful new biography of Lilias Trotter. Jennifer explains how she became captivated with Lilias, whose “adventurous, interesting, fascinating life” radiated with childlike delight, generosity, and profound love for God. Victorian artist and missionary Lilias Trotter teaches us much about the practice of “seeing”—both literally and spiritually— and how it transforms us and the world around us.Lilias's training as an artist under Ruskin taught her to “see well”—not just the details of nature, but the overlooked people in her society. She moved from painting to working with the most impoverished communities in London, especially young women vulnerable in the city. In partnership with movements like the YWCA and revivalist preacher D.L. Moody, Lilias dedicated herself to listening, serving, and providing safety and practical help for working-class girls and women subject to exploitation and trafficking.Her artistry was inseparable from her love for people. This “way of seeing”—attentive, joyful, and present—became her creative and spiritual calling. Lilias's vision challenges us to integrate our gifts and passions into practical love for others.A key metaphor for Lilias's life is the dandelion—“full face to the sun” (representing Christ), then surrendered as seeds blown by the wind of the Holy Spirit to places and purposes beyond our control. Lilias did not chase worldly success. Lilias believed in offering her life freely to God, trusting Him to use every skill, experience, or seeming detour for His glory. The measure of a “successful life” is not accomplishment or recognition, but faithfulness and openness to the Spirit.The lesson of Lilias's life is that we are all called to both see others as Christ sees them, and to rest in the assurance that we ourselves are fully seen and loved by God. Her legacy is less about artistic fame and more about the deep creative, transformative hospitality she brought to every relationship.Lilias Trotter's “beautiful life” continues to inspire because she shows that to be fully present, fully surrendered, and fully attentive is to live in step with God's purposes. Whether you're an artist or not, her story invites you to open your eyes and your life, so that God's glory and gladness shine out through you, in Christ Jesus.Next Steps for You!·         Practice seeing: Pay attention—to beauty, to overlooked people, to God's presence in the present moment.·         Surrender your gifts: Offer your unique talents, passions, and opportunities to God without demanding a particular outcome.·         Root yourself in your belovedness through Christ: Know that, like Lilias, your worth is secure in being seen by God—which frees you to serve, love, and see others anew.·         Let your life be scattered as seed, trusting Christ's Holy Spirit to bear fruit, however and whenever God chooses.MORE ABOUT “IF ONLY WE COULD SEE”“God only knows the endless possibilities that lie enfolded in each of us.” – Lilias TrotterIn the late 19th century, Lilias Trotter stood at the threshold of artistic fame, her extraordinary talent praised by the renowned critic John Ruskin. Yet, at the height of her promise, she made a radical choice that would define the course of her life. Turning away from worldly recognition and social convention, she forged her own path—one that led her through the roughest streets of London and, ultimately, to the deserts of North Africa. There, her artistic and spiritual journeys intertwined as she expanded the many-colored canvas of her creativity to embrace not only the sweeping vistas of the Sahara, but also the lives of the Arab people she loved.Blending biography, personal engagement, and theological reflection, Trafton takes readers on an intimate journey with Lily as her friends knew her – a visionary who saw the world with an artist's eye and a missionary's heart, and whose imaginative empathy and creative compassion transformed the lives of those she encountered. More than the story of one remarkable woman, this book is an invitation to experience the beauty of creation with fresh wonder, to look at our neighbors through new lenses, and to discover what “beautiful possible life” awaits each one of us as we follow the call of the Divine Artist.MORE ABOUT JENNIFER TRAFTONJennifer Trafton is a storyteller and artist with a passion for exploring the intersections of faith, creativity, and the arts. She studied church history and theology at Wake Forest University, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and Duke University, focusing on the 19th-century writer George MacDonald and his influence on Christian views of the imagination. After serving as managing editor of Christian History & Biography magazine and a curriculum writer and editor for the StoneWorks Global Arts Initiative, she has been a regular conference speaker, writer, teacher, editor, and illustrator for the Nashville-based Rabbit Room creative community for over a decade. Her first two novels for children, The Rise and Fall of Mount Majestic and Henry and the Chalk Dragon, received starred reviews and multiple award nominations, and she has since collaborated on or contributed to a wide array of projects including The Wingfeather Tales, The Lost Tales of Sir Galahad, Every Moment Holy, Vol. III: The Work of the People, and J. R. R. Tolkien and the Arts: A Theology of Subcreation. She recently illustrated Glad and Golden Hours: A Companion for Advent and Christmastide by Lanier Ivester (Rabbit Room Press, 2024).“Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4 isn't a poetic suggestion — it's a promise. But many believers quietly assume it doesn't really work, or it's not really possible – or they've kinda lost sight of it along the way.In "Awaken Delight," I'm inviting you to rediscover what Scripture actually means by delight in God— not emotional hype, not religious performance, but a steady satisfaction rooted in who God is. Through biblical theology and practical rhythms, you will learn how communion with God reshapes suffering, quiets restless striving, and anchors your identity in something unshakable."Awaken Delight" is a theologically grounded spiritual formation book for thoughtful believers who feel spiritually fatigued, and ready to embrace the reality of Psalm 37:4.Find out more at https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelight Support us on Gospel Spice, PayPal and Venmo!

Guest Bio: Anna Laura is an entrepreneur at heart. Her Grandmother's story of waving a white tablecloth to avoid attacks by bomber planes during World War II inspired Anna to start White Flag. White Flag is a lifestyle brand aimed to spark conversations about Jesus Christ through simple designs inspired by biblical truths. She has worked with many artists and creators, including Lauren Daigle and Chip & Joanna Gaines, to bring White Flag out into the world. She is also a single mother of two in Nashville, Tennessee.  Show Summary: Have you ever asked a question in church or with a mentor and felt like it wasn't received well? Anna Laura was in high school when she started asking tough questions within the church. The reaction to her questions led to the forging of a new path in her life as a single mom and entrepreneur. Join God Hears Her hosts, Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni as they learn the trajectory of Anna's story and how God helped her to surrender her hurts and her doubts to him.   Notes and Quotes:  “A lot of what I heard growing up was that if you questioned or doubted, or you weren't doing things a certain way or living thing a certain way, then you had ‘lukewarm Christianity.'”  —Anna Laura  “I look back at seasons where everything felt really hard as a single parent and the bits of life and the anchor in it all were the people who were the safe space.” —Anna Laura  “The act of surrender has been a daily evolving process for me.” —Anna Laura  “Get it all out on paper and watch God connect the dots right in front of you.” —Anna Laura  “I can't tell you how powerful it is to give yourself the freedom to share the entire spectrum of your emotions with God when you're in the middle of it.” —Anna Laura  Related Episodes:  GHH Ep 33 – Adventurous Obedience with Kari Jobe: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/adventurous-obedience-with-kari-jobe/ GHH Ep 169 – Learning to Surrender with Tara Sun: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/learning-to-surrender/   Links:  White Flag by Anna Laura: https://www.whiteflag.org/ God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/ghh191  Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM

If light and sound rewire the brain, could targeted frequencies also help reverse trauma, concussion, and even Parkinson's‑like symptoms?What if shamanic traditions, Native American lore, Vedic meditation, and modern brain science all point to the same solution?My guest today is Dr. Lana Bach-Morrow — a pioneering neuroscientist, inventor, CEO, and spiritual explorer who works with frequencies, light, and consciousness to heal the body, brain and spirit. After being knocked out and injured in a hit-and-run last year with serious post-concussion syndrome, I've completed several transformative sessions with Dr. Lana's brain-computer interface to help heal my brain.Her invention uses gamified light, sound and frequency to help achieve flow states, calm the amygdala (which often over-fires and locks us into fight-or-flight), and heal and regenerate pathways in the brain and nervous system. In addition to rapidly improving my coordination and reflexes, the most remarkable effect I've experienced so far is a dramatic increase in REM sleep and dream recall. She's definitely onto something. In this episode, you're about to discover:What it means to treat neurology and spirituality as a single living system instead of two separate worldsThe difference between music played for money and healing music played from the heartIn a world drowning in noise, manipulation and fear, why authenticity is the “currency of the future” Why some places instantly calm your nervous system while others feel like you're sitting in a microwaveAnd more...Find Dr. Lana Bach-Morrow and her work at: Website: ThinkInterfaces.comInstagram: @drlanamorrow If you want to keep in touch about the exciting events coming up soon, I've got live shows, music, and speaking gigs in Austin, Nashville, Las Vegas, Florida and many more.
