The Knock Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

“God’s voice doesn’t always shout—it often whispers in the middle of your routine.”

In the very first episode of The Knock Podcast, Bobby and Gerrad Kough sit down with Chelsea Thomas—a wife, mother of three, business owner, and a woman who knows what it means to answer when God calls. Chelsea and her husband operate three F45 training studios, but her most important title is Mom. With a life full of responsibilities, she shares how she leans fully on God’s guidance to carry the weight of it all. 

Chelsea talks about growing up in a faith-filled home and feeling the presence of God from a young age. After earning a finance degree and landing a full-time job in the corporate world, she quickly realized God was pulling her in a completely different direction. Just six months in, she made the bold decision to walk away and become a teacher and coach—following His voice without knowing exactly where it would lead.

In this honest and powerful conversation, Chelsea shares what “The Knock” looks like in her life and how answering it has shaped her journey as a woman, a mother, and a follower of Jesus. Her story is a reminder that sometimes the boldest step you’ll ever take… is simply opening the door. Listen now, and don’t miss your moment to answer The Knock.

Revelation 3:20 – "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock..."

In this episode of The Knock Podcast, Bobby and Gerrad Kough sit down with their friend and business partner, Jimmy Vreeland—a husband, father of four, former Army Ranger, and successful entrepreneur with a powerful testimony of transformation.

Jimmy opens up about growing up in the Catholic faith, walking away from it during college, and what happened when 9/11 changed the course of his life. After three combat deployments and years of wrestling with trauma, anger, and spiritual conflict, Jimmy found himself chasing worldly success but feeling empty. It wasn’t until a pivotal moment—sitting in a car outside of church with his kids in the backseat—that he truly heard the knock.

Jimmy shares how the trauma of war deeply challenged his perception of God, creating an inner conflict between what he experienced and what he believed. He opens up about the long journey of reconciling his faith with his ambition, masculinity, and sense of purpose—areas where he once felt tension and contradiction.

Through spiritual discipline and the powerful act of confession, Jimmy began to rebuild his relationship with God from the inside out. He also reflects on what it truly means to be a hero to his children—not through perfection, but through presence, growth, and surrender. Ultimately, his story reveals how God doesn’t waste hardship—He uses it to refine us, not to punish us. Whether you're in the middle of your own battle or leading a team through a storm, this episode is a reminder that when you answer the knock, everything changes.

If this story moved you—share it.

🙏 If it spoke to something deep inside—pray on it.

🎙 And if you're ready to take a step in faith—keep listening. God is always knocking.

The question is: will you answer?
