All Things Possible: How To Overcome Obstacles in Life, Family and Faith | Adam and Bethany Dirks | Ep. 0108 Apr 202500:26:27

The impact zone is the part of a wave where the chaos hits, you’re spun upside down, you’re gasping for breath and can’t tell which way is up. You can probably relate to that feeling in your life, with your faith, your family or health. 

 

Ocean waves aren’t just chaos though - they also have a beautiful, calm stillness as you look down the barrel - this is the perfect place to still your mind, find peace, and gather yourself in the midst of the chaos.

 

Bethany and Adam are capturing this dichotomy with their show, All Things Possible. In every episode, they’ll create a space of peace, stillness and reflection, and introduce you to guests that can equip you for the intensity of life to come.

 

Join as they engage in meaningful conversations with guests about faith, family, and how God's wisdom guides us through the challenges we face. 

 

John 16:33: “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

From New Age to New Life: Ali Tate’s Journey to Truth | Ep. 1901 Jul 202501:02:49

Listener note: This episode includes mature spiritual themes and is intended for adult audiences.

What happens when you chase spiritual freedom, only to find yourself more lost than ever?

In this episode, Bethany and Adam sit down with former model and writer Ali Tate to unpack her journey out of the New Age movement and into something far more grounding. From breathwork and plant medicine to church pews and monogamy, Ali shares how her search for truth led her to Jesus in the most unexpected ways.

She opens up about what changed when she became a mother, why she believes self-denial is actually a gift, and how letting go of her old identity made room for peace and purpose. It’s a powerful conversation about spiritual hunger, cultural confusion, and the kind of love that transforms everything.

 

Guest Bio:

Ali Tate is a former international model who spent over a decade in the fashion industry before walking away from the spotlight to pursue something more meaningful. Once deeply immersed in the New Age movement, dabbling in plant medicine, tantra, and spiritual healing, Ali found herself wrestling with the darkness that came with it. That search for truth eventually led her to Jesus.

Now a writer, entrepreneur, and mom of (almost) two, Ali is passionate about faith, family, and reclaiming the sacred in everyday life. She speaks honestly about the challenges of motherhood, the beauty of monogamy, and why she believes so many in her generation are hungry for something real.

Bethany and Adam welcome back Chris McKenna, founder of Protect Young Eyes, for another eye-opening conversation—this time diving into the growing anxiety and stress affecting today’s families, especially teenage girls.

Chris brings insights from leading researchers, whistleblower testimony, and his years of experience helping families navigate the digital world. Together, they unpack why social media hits young girls so hard, how it’s rewiring their brains, and what we can do to lead our homes with confidence and courage.

They talk about:

  • Why are teen girls more vulnerable to social media than boys
  • The “hockey stick” rise in self-harm and anxiety since 2012

  • What brain scans are revealing about screen time and emotional health
  • How to delay social media use without guilt
  • Why real, in-person friendships are more powerful than any app

When Protection Meets Grace: Fighting for Our Children, Part 1 | Chris McKenna | Ep. 2812 Aug 202500:59:50

This is one of those conversations every parent needs to hear.

Bethany and Adam sit down with Chris McKenna, the founder of Protect Young Eyes, to talk about one of the most important and heartbreaking challenges families face today—children being exposed to explicit content at younger and younger ages. Chris shares his own powerful story of early exposure, the years of secret struggle that followed, and how God brought healing and redemption into his marriage.

Together, they unpack how modern technology has made explicit content more accessible than ever—even on school-issued devices—and why this matters for every home, not just those facing an obvious crisis.

Chris walks through a five-layer “digital safety pyramid” that helps parents take practical steps: from building trust and healthy conversations, to setting boundaries on devices, locations, and apps—all grounded in a foundation of faith, connection, and grace.

If you’re raising children in the digital age and wondering how to protect their hearts and minds—without losing yours—this episode is for you.

The Call to Love: Adoption, Foster Care, and the Heart of God | Ashley and Joel Wingo | Ep. 3416 Sep 202500:42:35

Why would a couple take in child after child, many from traumatic situations, knowing they might have to say goodbye? For Joel and Ashley Wingo, the answer is simple: God's love for the most vulnerable.

In this episode, Bethany and Adam sit down with longtime friends Joel and Ashley, adoptive parents of seven and foster parents to many more, to talk about the beauty, heartbreak, and calling of foster care and adoption. From their first $25,000 private adoption to welcoming twin babies during the chaos of COVID, their story is marked by radical obedience, faith-stretching provision, and a deep conviction that every child deserves a family.

They share what it's really like to parent children who’ve experienced trauma and how we as Christians can support the vulnerable, whether we open our homes, give financially, or simply start paying attention.

Guest Bio:

Joel and Ashley Wingo are parents of seven children—three biological and four adopted—and have welcomed many more into their home through foster care. Married for over 22 years, they’ve walked through a wide range of adoption and foster care experiences, from private infant adoptions to navigating the complexities of the foster system during a global pandemic. Their lives are marked by deep faith, resilience, and a passion to reflect God’s heart for the vulnerable. Whether through hands-on parenting or simply showing up for a child in crisis, the Wingos believe every Christian has a role to play in the pro-life story.

Bethany and Adam sit down with Kate Deering—author of How to Heal Your Metabolism—for a real, no-nonsense talk about health, energy, and what’s actually going on inside our bodies. Kate shares how she went from being a fit, driven personal trainer to hitting a wall physically and emotionally, and what she learned about fueling her body in a way that actually works long-term.

They unpack why metabolism is so much more than “calories in, calories out,” how to use food to steady your energy instead of riding the caffeine rollercoaster, and the truth about carbs, sugar, protein, and seed oils. You’ll hear why popular approaches like intermittent fasting can backfire for a lot of people, and why a slower, steadier path often wins in the long run.

Birth Control, Big Pharma & Real Health: What Women Aren’t Told | Alex Clark | Ep. 4418 Nov 202501:01:41

What if the “normal” way women are taught to do health is actually making them sicker?

Bethany sits down with culture commentator and wellness advocate Alex Clark to unpack a surprising journey, from a teenage diet of Rice Krispie treats and chicken nuggets to becoming one of the leading voices in the “Make America Healthy Again” movement. Alex shares how the pandemic sparked an awakening in her own health, opening her eyes to Big Pharma, Big Food, the hidden side effects of hormonal birth control, and why so many millennial women are struggling physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

They also talk about beauty culture, Botox, autoimmune issues, trusting God with our bodies, and the privilege of nourishing our families well.

 

Guest Bio:

Alex Clark is a cultural commentator, podcast host, and outspoken wellness advocate leading the “Make America Healthy Again” movement. After years of working in radio and media—known in Louisville as the “Chicken Nugget Princess”—Alex underwent a complete transformation when she began uncovering the hidden realities of Big Pharma, Big Food, hormonal birth control, and America’s chronic illness crisis.

She now hosts Culture Apothecary, a Turning Point USA–produced health and wellness show that blends research, activism, and real-life solutions for families seeking to break free from the standard American lifestyle. Alex has testified in the Senate alongside Bobby Kennedy Jr. and continues to educate women on informed consent, hormone health, toxic exposures, food quality, and living in alignment with God’s design for the body.

Her mission is simple: empower Americans—especially young women—to reclaim their health, question the cultural narratives around wellness, and return to real, nutrient-dense living.

Diving Deeper: Baptize the Babies? A Biblical and Historical Case | Pastor John Bombaro | Ep. 4313 Nov 202500:56:31

Adam and Bethany are back with their Diving Deeper series, and welcome back Pastor John Bombaro to unpack one of the most debated topics in modern American Christianity: infant baptism. 

Drawing from Scripture, the early church, and church history, Pastor John explains why the historic, global Christian consensus has baptized infants, how baptism is God’s saving action (not our personal performance), and why that matters for assurance, parenting, and everyday discipleship.

They will cover:

  • The historic Christian consensus on baptizing infants (Catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran, Anglican, Presbyterian, Methodist)
  • Why baptism is God’s objective promise and action—not our subjective decision
  • How Scripture speaks of new birth, washing, regeneration, and forgiveness in baptism
  • The Reformation split: Zwingli/Anabaptists vs. the conservative Reformation (Lutheran/Anglican)
  • Assurance for weary Christians: why baptism anchors us when our feelings fluctuate
  • Mode questions (sprinkle/pour/immerse) and the Didache’s practical guidance
  • Parenting through the lens of inheritance: raising baptized children in their own faith

Guest Bio:

Pastor John Bombaro is the senior pastor of St. James Lutheran Church in Lafayette, Indiana, home to Purdue University. Formerly a missionary and church planter in Kauai, Hawaii, Pastor John holds advanced degrees in theology and has taught and served globally. He and his wife, Melinda, have four children and are celebrating 30 years of marriage. Known for his clarity, depth, and pastoral warmth, Pastor John has a passion for helping people experience the gospel not just intellectually but intimately—in heart, soul, and body.

Beyond Body Image: Understanding Eating Disorders with Dr. Deena Muno | Ep. 3815 Oct 202500:47:02

Behind every eating disorder is a story far more complex than we realize, and today we’re uncovering what’s really going on.

Bethany and Adam sit down with Dr. Deena Muno, a clinical psychologist who works with some of the most severe cases of eating disorders in hospital settings as well as through her private practice.

Deena shares from her years of experience walking with patients whose lives are at risk due to restrictive eating, and she helps us understand that eating disorders are not just about body image; they are layered, complex, and deeply tied to neurobiology, personality traits, family systems, and cultural pressures like social media.

Together, Bethany and Deena talk about:

  • The hidden dangers of eating disorders and how they affect the brain, heart, and every system in the body
  • The role of personality traits and neurobiology in anorexia and ARFID
  • How family dynamics and cultural influences shape our relationship with food and our bodies
  • The importance of early intervention for parents and friends who are concerned
  • Practical ways to love, support, and walk alongside someone who is struggling
  • Why faith, community, and professional tools all play a role in recovery

She works on an inpatient hospital unit where patients receive medical stabilization for severe cases of anorexia and ARFID, and she also runs a private practice serving clients of all ages. With a background in psychology and a personal passion for holistic health, she bridges the science of neurobiology with compassion for the whole person. Deena and her husband, a grass-fed rancher, often engage in holistic conversations about food, family, and wellness.

From Prison Gates to New Life: The Story of 7More | Joshua and Debs Walker | Ep. 3707 Oct 202500:54:12

What really happens the moment someone walks out of prison gates—alone, afraid, and carrying nothing but a red net bag? Bethany and Adam sit down with Joshua and Debs Walker, founders of 7More, a ministry that meets men and women at the prison gates the moment they are released. From helping them navigate those first critical hours to walking alongside them through mentorship, job placement, and faith-based community, the Walkers are bridging the gap between incarceration and true freedom.

You’ll hear stories of transformation, heartbreaking realities of life after prison, and how 7More is breaking cycles of poverty, crime, and hopelessness. Joshua and Debs share how identity in Christ changes everything, and how the church can step into a role that government programs can never fully fill.

Guest Bio:

Joshua and Debs Walker are the founders of 7More, a nonprofit ministry serving men and women reentering society after prison. Originally from Dublin, Ireland, they moved to Houston, Texas, nearly two decades ago, where they first began working with the homeless and discovered the unique challenges faced by those leaving incarceration.

With a heart to meet people at their most vulnerable moments, Joshua and Debs launched 7More to provide immediate support, practical resources, mentorship, and a clear message of hope in Christ. Their team works at prison release sites, halfway houses, and within communities to break cycles of poverty, addiction, and crime—one life at a time.

When Joshua isn’t serving on the streets or mentoring, you can probably find him at the local skatepark, connecting with people over shared passions and handing out 7More stickers. Debs serves as a voice of advocacy, coordination, and compassion, helping men and women walk a new path toward lasting freedom.

Diving Deeper: Reading the Old Testament with a Gospel Lens | Chad Bird | Ep. 4627 Nov 202500:33:09

What if the Old Testament isn’t a harsh rulebook, but a love story pointing straight to Jesus?

In this Diving Deeper episode, Adam welcomes Old Testament scholar and 1517 Scholar in Residence Chad Bird to help listeners see the Old Testament as a Christ-centered, grace-filled story rather than a distant or outdated text. Together they unpack the rise of Hebrew Roots/Torah-keeping movements, clarify which Old Testament laws were fulfilled in Christ, and explain how Paul’s warning to the Galatians still speaks into modern confusion around law, gospel, and Christian freedom.

Chad then shows how Jesus and the apostles read the Scriptures—finding Christ in Genesis, the sacrifices, the feasts, and the Psalms—and how believers today can read and pray the Old Testament through that same lens. 

Guest Bio:

Chad Bird is a Scholar in Residence at 1517, where he teaches and writes to help Christians see the gospel shining through the Old Testament. He has served as a pastor, professor, and lecturer in Old Testament and Hebrew, and holds master’s degrees from Concordia Theological Seminary and Hebrew Union College. A prolific author, Chad has written books including Unveiling Mercy, The Christ Key, Night Driving: Notes from a Prodigal Soul, Your God Is Too Glorious, and Untamed Prayers. He co-hosts the podcasts 40 Minutes in the Old Testament and Hidden Streams and regularly creates biblical teaching content online. Chad and his wife, Stacy, make their home in Texas and love spending time with their children and grandchildren.
