Oh My God Pod - The Podcast with Hollis Moore and Lori Spiker

As a second round draft pick in 1995 for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Bryan was living his dream of moving off the farm and making a name for himself. Although his successful NFL career gave him power, prestige, and popularity, his unprocessed hurt and pain manifested in a near breakdown on the golf course and his pregnant wife gave him an ultimatum - go to a team Bible Study. That night, the spirit of God moved so mightily in Bryan that it changed the trajectory of his life and set him on a path to fight Worthy Opponents, not just in the NFL, but as a Chaplain for the Colorado Rockies baseball team, as a Pastor, as a professional coach for high level leaders, and in his family with his wife and 7 children. Hear how Bryan’s book of the same title “Worthy Opponents” encourages us to see challenges as not only opportunities for growth & transformation, but ways for us to grow in intimacy with Father God. This interview gives a glimpse into God’s longsuffering and depth of his love for us as his children and will leave you encouraged  to not grow weary in this hour but to embrace the superior reality of his kingdom and your unique role in it. Listen as we discuss generational iniquities, changes in the corporate church, spiritual warfare, transhumanism and how knowing that we are born of a different age gives us authority to leverage God’s economy and operating system to usher in His kingdom here on Earth.

Hang with your hosts Hollis and Lori in this special mini-episode. We discuss what is happening in this season in our lives, the closeness we feel with the Lord and how our obedience to God is impacting the podcast. As we explore the theme of obedience toward God, we discover that God can call us to rest and He can also force us to rest.  Hear how we are following God’s call to rest through this 2021 holiday season and our hope that we can lead by example to rest in Him.

When his original desire to be a meteorologist turned to campus ministry, and then those doors started closing, Nick continued to follow God’s prompting with enthusiasm. He found God calling Him into ministry in the wild of America’s National Parks. From Death Valley, to the Grand Canyon during Covid, Nick experienced a personal spiritual darkness as the world was navigating the pandemic. But just as God can reveal the majesty of the Smokey Mountains by blowing the clouds aside, He can reveal things that He is doing inside us too. After Nick felt healed through his time in the Smokies, he followed the Lord’s lead to Glacier National Park in Montana for the summer and now back to Death Valley for the winter. Hear how Nick not only obeyed God when He spoke to him about his career, but about all of his relationships too; and how he plans to continue his adventure with the Lord even if he doesn't know what’s ahead.

Faith can be tested in many ways; and if we are not secure or mature in our faith we can lose it. Fortunately for Barrett Miller, having cancer at age 32 did not shake her faith. However, years later when she lost her son in a tragic accident, she was confronted with the reality that she did not have the relationship with God that she thought. As God orchestrated the circumstances surrounding her son’s death that brought her heart peace, He was also drawing her and her family closer to Him. As Barrett explains, each person in her family grew in their relationship with God as a result of her son’s death. Additionally, as their family decided to host Bible study for their community, they realized that their son’s passing was actually a planting of the seeds of belief for many who would come to be believers. Hear the amazing journey of a grieving family who found meaning and mission through the loss of a very special young man whose impact on the world is still felt after his passing.
