Ann White brings author and discipleship leader Kyle Robinson into a conversation about Jesus through His "I am" statements in the Gospel of John.

Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. John 6:35

Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved. They will come and go freely and will find good pastures. John 10:9

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep. John 10:11

Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. John 11:25

Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.” John 8:12

“I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener." John 15:1

Kyle shares a story about teaching his son to kneeboard as a picture of Jesus diving in to rescue us, and Ann shares her own journey of years of hidden shame and guilt. Together they show how each of these statements meets people exactly where they are, whether they carry old wounds, quiet fears, or a longing to know God more.

Watch this conversation between Ann White and Kyle Robinson to see how Jesus meets shame, fear, and old wounds with who He says He is.

What does it take to rebuild trust in a marriage after it's been broken?

Ann White spends time with Gwen Brague discussing marriage. Gwen co-founded the ministry Reconnecting Lives with her husband Mark and wrote the book The Beautiful Ugly Truth after walking through betrayal and rebuilding trust in her own marriage. She shares how she and Mark built their relationship on friendship and honesty, and how healing began with nurturing her relationship with God before she could nurture her relationship with her husband.

Ann and Gwen talk about the suitcases of brokenness each person carries into marriage, the differences in how men and women communicate, and the core needs each spouse brings into the relationship. They talk about what it looks like to break a negative cycle with humility instead of defensiveness, and how a kind word or a simple apology can change everything. Their conversation leaves us grateful for a God who heals marriages and restores what feels broken.

Watch this conversation between Ann White and Gwen Brag for an honest look at what it takes to build a marriage on trust, communication, and God.

What would you do if God asked you to say yes to something that could put everything you built your career on at risk?

Ann White sits down with Shari Rigby, an actor, producer, and author, to discuss sharing your story. Together they talk about why our testimonies matter, how sharing our story with others can be one of the most obedient things we do, and why the stories we are most afraid to tell often carry the greatest weight.

"And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die." Revelation 12:11, NLT

Ann and Shari talk about what it costs to say yes to God when we do not know where the story will lead, and what happens in someone else when we finally open up about our own. Shari's courageous story of faith is featured on page 698 of the Courage For Life Study Bible for Women, and in this conversation she shares what that story cost her and what it gave back.

Watch this conversation and hear what happens when one woman's yes to God becomes courage for so many others.

What if the real struggle in our faith was never about trying harder?

True discipleship is not about trying to act like Jesus. It is about letting Jesus live through us. That is the picture Ann White and Mike Atkins explore in this conversation, using the image of an acorn. We can copy the outward form of an acorn in gold or porcelain, but only the acorn itself carries life. In the same way, we can copy the outward form of Jesus, but only Christ can reproduce His life in us.

Ann and Mike talk through what this shift looks like in practice, moving from working for God to yielding and letting God work through us. Together, they share how this changes relationships, choices, and the way we walk through pain. The conversation returns again and again to Christ in you, the hope of glory, as the foundation for real and lasting spiritual growth.

Watch this conversation with Ann White and Mike Atkins for a picture of discipleship where Christ does the living and we get out of the way.

Have you ever wondered if God really speaks to ordinary people in ordinary moments?

Ann White speaks with Kyle Robinson about hearing God. Kyle shares how a simple exercise, asking Jesus if He loves you and then pausing to notice how He answers, has shaped the disciples he leads. He tells the story of asking God where his daughter's missing friend had gone and hearing an immediate answer, and of a quiet prompting at a gas station that led him to pray with a stranger carrying a private sorrow.

Ann and Kyle turn to Isaiah 30:21 and the story of Elijah to talk about how God still speaks in a still, small voice. Let this conversation encourage you to not say "amen" in the morning and stop there. Keep talking with God all day long!
