    2026/11/12
    This week, we’re talking with actor Giavani Cairo who plays Thaddeus on the popular show The Chosen, which premieres their sixth season on November 15th. Giavani shares how he built confidence through acting and how playing Thaddeus has transformed the way he views his own life and work.

And I just always wanted to do that for people. I think through acting, I’m able to connect with people on that level through the characters I portray.” - Giavani Cairo “It’s very important to have God in my creative process, to have in my life daily. I start my day with Him and He just grounds me.” - Giavani Cairo “I want to be a part of projects that have an impact in the way God has had an impact on me.” - Giavani Cairo “Thaddeus has taught me that God has put us all on this earth for a reason. He’s given me the strength and kindness that I wish I had given to myself when I was younger.” - Giavani Cairo “We get messages every day and people in person telling us, ‘Hey, you’ve inspired my faith.’ ‘You’ve reignited my faith.’ ‘You’ve repaired a relationship I had with a close friend or a family member.’ ‘You saved my life, literally.’ That is what shared faith can do. I think all people really need in this life is to be acknowledged, and then you pass that acknowledgement to people that you come in contact with. It’s such a valuable thing.” - Giavani Cairo “It’s so cool to see how God uses this band, and we are so blessed to still be able to do it and to see that our attempts matter—that we are able to use music to bring across a message that changes lives.” - John Schlitt “As a singer, it was very much a blessing to be able to sing these amazing songs that had more than just entertainment. They had messages that changed lives.” - John Schlitt “God has a plan for us. Even when we blow it, which we do because we’re human, His blood was shed for us. We have that second chance every day, and as we walk our walk, we realize that we don’t have to ever do it alone—that we’re a team, God and us.” - John Schlitt ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

  • Courage in the Face of Darkness: Chris Edmonds & Caleb Altmeyer

    Courage in the Face of Darkness: Chris Edmonds & Caleb Altmeyer
    2026/11/05
    *This episode mentions abuse and may be triggering for some listeners.* This week, we hear from Chris Edmonds, who shares the story of his father, World War II hero Roddie Edmonds, who was honored with the Medal of Honor for saving hundreds of Jewish American soldiers in a Nazi POW camp. Next, we’ll hear from Caleb Altmeyer, founder of Helping Captives, who will tell us about a childhood friend’s tragic story, which eventually led him and his family into the fight against sex trafficking. Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Past interview: Jochen Wurfl Upcoming interview: Giavani Cairo Chris Edmonds Roddie Edmonds Battle of the Bulge Stalag IX-A Isaiah 26:12 www.roddieedmonds.com No Surrender Caleb Altmeyer Helping Captives Union Gospel Mission Interview Quotes: “From the moment [Dad] surrendered to Christ as a teenager at Vestal United Methodist Church in South Knoxville, God’s Word became his marching orders. And I think that’s what gave him the moral clarity he needed in the worst conditions, because he really understood life from a biblical perspective, and it sealed his moral code to where he wanted to live by that clarity.” - Chris Edmonds “Dad saved his Jewish men because a Jewish man named Jesus had saved him, had redeemed his life, and redeemed him from his inhumanity to where he could actually be who God wanted him to be.” - Chris Edmonds “When you stop and think about it, that’s all God expects for us—to do what’s right for Him, for the Lord first, and then for others. If we do what’s right for the Lord, then we’re going to do what’s right for others.” - Chris Edmonds “Dad being saved in that camp and all of his boys getting out safe—that’s all the Lord’s doing. And then for it to be buried in the ashes of the Holocaust for seventy years before it ever comes to light, that’s all the Lord’s doing. And I think it’s for such a time as this, when we so desperately need to start treating people with the highest respect and honor that God calls us to.” - Chris Edmonds “When we esteem others better than ourselves, we take people to the place where God resides, for that unconditional love—regardless of who they are, regardless of what we think about them, regardless of how they think about us, we love them with the love of Christ. And that is a love that’s beyond this world, but it’s a love that we have to share through the power of Christ.” - Chris Edmonds “I shouldn’t be here. My family shouldn’t be here. A lot of those Jewish guys and the POWs in that camp should have been killed, but [Dad] talked the Nazi down and told him the truth and he told him in love. I hope someday in heaven when I’m there with Dad, that the old Nazi’s there and we get to celebrate that we’re all one in the Lord. - Chris Edmonds “I think, unfortunately, sometimes the movies just help us reiterate in our head, Oh, this is kids in shipping containers, and this happens overseas, when the reality is that a lot of human trafficking is happening in your own community.” - Caleb Altmeyer “Traffickers exploit unmet needs. And I think one of the greatest needs that we all have is belonging.” - Caleb Altmeyer “If you have a relationship with your kids, and you’re actively parenting them, and you have a good relationship and know who they’re talking to, the chances of them being trafficked are much lower. I can’t say this enough: build relationships with vulnerable young people. Traffickers are really good at finding vulnerable people. The church should be better at finding them first.” - Caleb Altmeyer ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

  • The Bright Side of Life’s Many Detours: Jaccob and Josiah Slavin & Sara McDaniel

    The Bright Side of Life’s Many Detours: Jaccob and Josiah Slavin & Sara McDaniel
    2026/10/29
    This week, we hear from hockey playing brothers Jaccob and Josiah Slavin—Jaccob a veteran defenseman for the Carolina Hurricanes and Josiah now playing for the Chicago Wolves in the same organization. They share about the night they finally played in an NHL game together after dreaming about it since childhood, and how they keep their personal convictions strong in a challenging environment. Next, we’ll hear from Sara McDaniel, whose marriage fell apart around age thirty-two, leaving her angry at God. She shares how a cottage in Minden, Louisiana—and the social media account she started to document its transformation—became a place to talk about her story, and how she held on to hope through her father’s death and the health scare and job loss that followed.

As a little boy or a teenage boy growing up, you just wanted to be like your dad, and you wanted to pull out your Bible and read next to him. I think that was the biggest way that faith stuck in my life.” - Josiah Slavin “It was an awesome moment that God just kindly gave us [to play hockey together], and we were just able to enjoy it and be able to be out on the ice for a couple shifts together and kill a couple penalties together. I mean, [it was] just what we both dreamed about growing up.” - Jaccob Slavin “I was realizing that there was a very strong parallel between the renovation of this house and the restoration of my life post-divorce. I began opening up about my story, and when I would talk about slowly putting the house back together, I would draw this parallel about how the Lord was healing my heart and slowly putting me back together also.” - Sara McDaniel “I could not believe that this little girl from Louisiana who’s doing these renovations caught the attention of magazines that noted, national interior designers are a part of, but then just realizing that the Lord was increasing my platform so that I could continue to tell the story of restoration, grace, hope, mercy, and redemption—and how He can take beauty from ashes.” - Sara McDaniel “It was very hard to cling to hope through all of these trials. I was very upset with God for letting my marriage fall apart, thinking my life was never going to be happy again. But the further I got away from that situation and the more that I leaned into Him and His plan for my life and the promise of Romans 8:28—that He is going to work all things for good—I started to realize that there is a bright side on the other side of this pain.” - Sara McDaniel ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

  • Walking With God in All of Our Days to Life’s Final Moments: Francine Rivers & Whitney Capps

    Walking With God in All of Our Days to Life’s Final Moments: Francine Rivers & Whitney Capps
    2026/10/22
    This week, we hear from bestselling author Francine Rivers, who has been married to her husband, Rick, for fifty-six years. She shares how a home Bible study helped carry them from the edge of divorce, what caring for Rick—a Vietnam Marine with Parkinson’s—looks like now, and why she sees death as a beginning. Next, Bible teacher and speaker Whitney Capps offers profound insight into the process of dying and holding fast to faith in the midst of questions, pain, and suffering. Her story touches on confronting her mortality daily, finding comfort in a supportive community, and experiencing deep peace through uncertainty.

Things are changing, your life is changing, and you have a lot of different phases. And it’s worth the work. The love deepens, I think, as time goes by.” - Francine Rivers “I’m in the Word every morning, and I think that’s really important to set the course for the day. I notice that when I don’t do that, for whatever reason, something happens and my day doesn’t go nearly as well. It’s a way to make sure God is in control of your day.” - Francine Rivers “The way I look at death, you don’t really know what it’s going to be like, but you know what’s on the other side is joy that God’s promised us. So we kind of focus on that more than anything—what’s beyond, not necessarily the difficulties right now.” - Francine Rivers “We have an embarrassment of riches in terms of community. The Lord’s kindness is not lost on me.” - Whitney Capps “I’m really grateful that [God] was kind enough to superintend and go, ‘No, you don’t have to wait for a story to make a difference in ministry. Just being in the Word is enough.’” - Whitney Capps “I think we should show up with our pain because whatever story we’ve been asked to steward can be heavy, it can be hard, and it shouldn’t be compared to somebody else’s hard. Whatever we’ve been asked to steward, those are stories that are worth talking about in the church.” - Whitney Capps “I’ve followed the doctor’s protocols and we really have followed every avenue that the Lord gave us as an option. But the thing that I’ve discovered, more than any of those gifts of grace, is that He is the chief gift of grace. His presence is the thing that I want more than anything else, and His presence is the only thing that gives me any sense of control.” - Whitney Capps “The reality is, when I see Jesus face-to-face, it’ll be the most alive I’ve ever been. Cancer cannot steal one day from me. We rest in the sovereign plan of God. He knows my final day before I was born, and cancer doesn’t have the authority to change God’s plan.” - Whitney Capps “I know that [God] can heal me, and yet He chooses not to. I don’t think we talk about that enough—the spiritual kind of barrenness of going, I have not doubted for one day that God could miraculously heal me. And we pray for miraculous healing, but there is a wrestling that happens when His answer is no.” - Whitney Capps “I have had to shift what the goodness of God looks like to me. I can’t think about it as ease or comfort. The goodness of God is being with me in the days of suffering. He is with me in the messy middle.” - Whitney Capps “This has been a hard story, and there’ve been lots of tears shed as I think about the possibility of not being here for my boys, not being there for my husband. Those are some of the things I wrestle with. Ultimately, our family has chosen to just say, ‘Why not us? We have been incredibly blessed. So why not us? Why not a hard story, and what can we do with this story that makes much of Jesus?’” - Whitney Capps “I think it’s so kind of our God to allow us lament, that He doesn’t expect us to hide our pain from Him. I find great comfort in that, that He’s not offended by our sorrow or our pain—that He entered into it, in the person of Jesus Christ, but even before the incarnate Christ, He allowed His people the space for our souls to cry out.” - Whitney Capps ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

  • Jesus Calling Scripture Study: The Song of Solomon with Aldo Cazzullo

    Jesus Calling Scripture Study: The Song of Solomon with Aldo Cazzullo
    2026/10/20

    Welcome to a special scripture-focused bonus episode of the Jesus Calling Podcast, where we hear from Italian journalist and author Aldo Cazzullo. Aldo walks us through the Song of Solomon, a book of deeply passionate and romantic poetry which celebrates love the way God designed it: to reflect His creative power.

    Interview Quotes:

    “The Song of Solomon is a mystery, a text speaking about spiritual love but also physical love. When you open the Song of Solomon, you encounter a collection of deeply passionate, romantic poetry, unlike anything else in the Bible.” - Aldo Cazzullo

    “The Song of Solomon stands out because it doesn’t impose rules. Its verses are among the most beautiful ever written, anchored by the assertion that love is as strong as death.” - Aldo Cazzullo

    “This book stands as a triumphant ode because it does not shy away from the physical and emotional realities of human love, presenting it as a reflection of the divine image in which we are created.” - Aldo Cazzullo

    “The boundary between physical and spiritual love is not as rigid as we imagine. By embracing both, the Song of Solomon shows us that at their best, our human connections can provide a glimpse of how devoted and loving our relationship with God might be.” - Aldo Cazzullo

    “God values not only our spiritual life, but also our emotional and physical experience. The Song of Solomon teaches that the human body, desire, and intimacy are not separated from the divine, but in fact reflect God’s creative power.” - Aldo Cazzullo

    “Daily connection with God and with Jesus is not about grand gestures, but about the small acts that remind us of our place in a story much larger than ourselves.” - Aldo Cazzullo

    “The Song of Solomon reminds us that our capacity for love and deep affection is itself sacred, blessed by God. Our relationships can and should be places where the divine is present.” - Aldo Cazzullo

    “In a world that sometimes feels disconnected, transactional, or superficial, I believe the Song of Solomon urges us to invest more fully in the bonds that matter, and to seek the presence of beauty in our everyday lives. The Song of Solomon teaches us to live boldly, sincerely, joyfully, and in doing so, to discover something eternal in each other.” - Aldo Cazzullo

  • Facing Tomorrow When the World Feels Unstable: Bill and Gloria Gaither & Chris Blue

    Facing Tomorrow When the World Feels Unstable: Bill and Gloria Gaither & Chris Blue
    2026/10/01
    This week, we hear from legendary husband and wife songwriting team Bill and Gloria Gaither, who went from teaching school in a small Indiana town to writing some of the most sung hymns and songs in the modern church, including “Because He Lives” and “He Touched Me.” They’ll talk about the lessons they’ve learned about failure, success, and how one of their most famous songs came from a time when the world around them felt anything but stable. Next, we’ll hear from The Voice season twelve winner Chris Blue, who initially turned down multiple opportunities to audition for The Voice. He’ll share how he eventually returned to his family’s gospel music roots after years of pursuing a different path. Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Past interview: Jordan Smith Upcoming interview: Kelly Rizzo Bill and Gloria Gaither Dottie Rambo www.gaither.com Chris Blue The Voice season twelve The Jackson 5 Foundations: The Hymns of My Heart Interview Quotes: “Jesus Himself was born into the most unstable of worlds. And so we go on with our life because the resurrection is true. It’s not just a one-time shot in history. The resurrection is built into every fiber of creation. It’s everywhere around us, and we can believe that because He lives, we can face tomorrow.” - Gloria Gaither “Be good to that gift that God has given you.” - Bill Gaither “We’re constantly teaching, and one of the best teachers is failure. If you learn from failure, it makes you wise.” - Gloria Gaither “If you get up in the morning with expectations, you are bound to be disappointed. But if you get up in the morning with expectancy, saying, ‘What is God going to do today?’ then you’re never disappointed, and you’re always in awe of what God does.” - Gloria Gaither “The pines are green. The sky is blue. It’s a riotous circus of color. Now I can either just go about my business and not notice that, or I can take that in and realize that God is sending us love letters from His heart every minute of every day. It’s up to us whether we read them or not.” - Gloria Gaither “We have this moment to hold in our hands and to touch as it slips through our fingers like sand. Yesterday’s gone, and tomorrow may never come, but at least we have this moment today. And Jesus said, ‘I’ve come to bring you life more abundantly.’ And that is the abundant life—when you can use the God-given resources that He’s given to your mind and make the right choices on how you spend your time.” - Bill Gaither “I think it’s a wonderful gift that prayer is portable.” - Gloria Gaither “When it came down to being selected [for The Voice] and being the last one, I thought, Man, I’m wasting my time. Jesus never called me to this. Maybe I heard wrong. But I didn’t. He was saving the first to be last and the last to be first.” - Chris Blue “After you win, you get money, you get the accolades, you get the deal, you get different opportunities. But then it goes away. That was hard at first because my expectation was you win and you just keep climbing. But that wasn’t the reality for me. You have to really work. You have to continue grinding. You have to continue pushing as if you never won.” - Chris Blue “When Jesus called me to sing Christian music again, I knew that I needed to let the world know that sometimes you can stray away from your path, but like GPS, it’ll always recalculate and get you back on track.” - Chris Blue ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

  • What Difference Does Knowing God Make? with Brian Bird & Alister McGrath

    What Difference Does Knowing God Make? with Brian Bird & Alister McGrath
    2026/10/15
    This week, we’ll hear from writer and producer Brian Bird, whose decades-long career in film and television includes When Calls the Heart and Touched by an Angel. Brian shares how he discovered his gift for writing through others who championed for him and how he uses his ability for storytelling to bring positive change to the world. Next, we’ll hear from Alister McGrath, a former atheist who became an Oxford trained scientist and theologian, who tries to bridge the divide between faith and science and desires to show the world that belief in God is more than just a set of ideas; it’s about a relationship. Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Past interview: Josh McDowell Upcoming interview: Josiah and Jaccob Slavin Jesus Calling: Harvest of Blessings Brian Bird When Calls the Heart Touched by an Angel The Story of Everything www.thestoryofeverything.film Alister McGrath Atheism Christianity C.S. Lewis Matthew 7 Rethinking Christianity Interview Quotes: “When I mentor young people, one of the things that I tell them is that they have to identify the one thing that God made them to do. Find three people like me to identify what you’re good at. Get into the symphony, don’t just be in a garage band.” - Brian Bird “I found that just by being a friend maker as a Christian—and not trying to preach at people, but just loving people—they want to know why I am the way I am. They want to know why I have peace in my life, why I am content. You have to earn the right to share your faith with people. It’s not handing them a tract, it’s handing them a life, it’s handing them a relationship.” - Brian Bird “I think in the world today, there’s so much cynical content out there that people are starved to death for content that is not cynical; content that is even idealistic, that inspires them to reach for their higher selves, that helps them feel like they’re part of something bigger than themselves.” - Brian Bird “I found myself at a turning point in my life where I loved science and still believed my future might lie in science, but at the same time, I was having this real longing to immerse myself deeply in Christian thinking, deeply in the Bible, in really understanding what this was all about.” - Alister McGrath “I loved studying Christianity and I wanted to make connections with science, but I also began to realize there was a need to be able to connect up with people beyond the church, to be able to deal with the questions that they had about faith, as indeed I had as an atheist.” - Alister McGrath “What I’m finding in my many conversations with people is this growing realization that Christianity has this ability to really set out a worldview that is not going to disappear tomorrow. And it also seems to have this deep ability to make sense of life and give us a sense of personal identity and personal stability.” - Alister McGrath “Apologetics, I think, is moving in a new direction. We need to be able to reassure people Christianity is true, but we also need to show them it really transforms life. It’s a trustworthy truth that transforms us.” - Alister McGrath “I think one of the things I didn’t really fully appreciate was that Christianity was giving me more than just a kind of intellectual framework. It was strongly relational. This is about a friendship, a relationship with a living God who journeys with you as your Shepherd through life wherever you are going.” - Alister McGrath ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!
