EPISODE 100! Is our God faithful to equip us for what He calls us to? Over the span of 2 years & 100 episodes of this podcast, I'm overwhelmingly reminded that the answer is YES! Join me in this two-part 100th Episode celebration, as we talk through the origins of The Colorinchaos Podcast, the fears, insecurities, joys & hardships that came with such a task, and the faithfulness of our God to walk us all through each and every hallway & door of this life.
Read MoreAs the disciples of Jesus felt as if they were fastly approaching death in the middle of a turbulent sea, we find Jesus fast asleep through the chaos and darkness of the stormy night. In the darkness of what feels like the stormy night of present-day, you may feel as if God has fallen asleep to the cries and pleads within & surrounding you. In this chaos, is there a light that still shines even through THIS storm?
Heavy heart, though the darkness is overwhelming, there is a Light that still shines.
Read MoreRegardless of who you are, we all have fears. For me? Not only do I have a fear of needles, but I have a fear of passing out from the anxiety that they bring. This last Saturday, not only was I required to receive an IV before surgery, I found myself in a situation where what I feared the most began to happen after receiving it. As I began to lose consciousness and the nurses rushed in, I found myself in a situation where my eyes were closed - yet my heart was opened to a deeper truth that was at work around me.
No matter where today finds you, this episode is for you.
Read MoreAs quickly as it takes for a bone to break, each and every day brings an opportunity for even the best-laid plans in our lives to turn completely upside down. Is there a color in the chaos when the chaos seems to destroy everything we once planned and where is God when we go through seasons of detours & suffering in this life?? Heavy heart, though our hearts and bodies may be limping… there is color even when we find ourselves traveling through detours that we never would have chosen to journey through on our own.
Read MoreWe are all subject to intense comparison. From social media to culture in general, we live in a world of platforms, podiums, stages, and spotlights all centered around constantly parading those with the crippling pressure of either having “it” or not. In this world of comparison, where can we breathe? Who are we in the aftermath of pressure to perform day-to-day? Looking at John 1:15, join us as we look at one sentence given to a father concerning his one day son which shines a spotlight on how our Creator, Savior, and Sustainer sees us even before we were conceived.
Read MoreNo matter what type of night’s sleep we had previously, when we awake, our eyes need time to adjust to the light of day that greats us all. Though our eyes eventually adjust to the tension that the morning light brings, what about the tensions that we face in our lives that our hearts struggle to overcome and adjust to? Join us as we lean into the human fascination with darkness/light, good/evil, and surrender/control as we look at Jesus' words found in John 8. No matter where today finds you, you are NOT alone.
Read MoreA one-sentence summary of this episode: Part geek out concerning the music industry, and part conversation about the messiness of faith, belief, and the hope that remains regardless of the dust of our questions and mess-ups.
Join us as we have an honest conversation concerning the importance of being challenged while also examining the label of what makes something/someone “Christian” with this week’s guest, David, from the music review website Jesus Freak Hideout.
Overwhelmed…? You are not alone. We all search for a sobering deliverance from the emotions, thoughts, and confusions that weigh heavy on us in this season of unknown. Continuing from Episode 81, join us as we look at the idea of sobriety and deliverance from the emotions and thoughts that overwhelm us all. When every day seems to be another reminder of just how weak we are, the weakness is an opportunity for the light of our Creator, Savior, and Sustainer to shine through the wound that we so often try to hide.
Read MoreEpisode 92 (07/08/20): In the movie Star Wars, Obi-Wan famously states to his approaching enemies: "these are not the droids you are looking for". Even though this catchphrase is often used to comically state that something is is not representing what it may "appear" to represent, at the end of the day, we all struggle with looking at other people, objects, and situations to fulfill and satisfy what can only be found in our Savior alone. Join us as we have a human conversation - full of acknowledgment of weaknesses and a desire for growth and beauty to come from our chaos. Our weaknesses remind us that we are human.
Read MoreWhat does a small fish stuck between a water drainage pipe and a river have to do with our hearts? No matter who you are, each day can bring the temptation for us to settle for where we are instead of striving for the abundant waters that we all crave. We all will feel “stuck” at one point or another … yet through it all, there is a HOPE that can be found even in the most unexpected moments of chaos and pain. Heavy heart, you are NOT alone.
Read MoreIn this season that we find ourselves in, it doesn’t take much to recognize our weakness. For many, repentance can often feel like a dirty word; however, it’s important to note that without repentance, we can never experience the revival that all of our being longs for. Heavy heart, even in this chaos, there is a Hope beyond the smoke & mirrors of this season which surrounds us all …
Read MoreThere is such a long journey from the head to the heart… and sometimes in that journey, we can become so focused on the future that we forget about the blessing that today truly is. Today holds so much potential, yet with distracted hearts and minds, we often fail to take hold of all that our Creator, Savior, and Sustainer invite us to. Join us as we accept the invitation to fully embrace all that our God desires to do in our hearts and lives, today.
Read MoreWe have a God who molds what we surrender into a reminder of His abundance. After recording 88 episodes, any passion for Jesus that you may hear in me can be traced back to the night of June 6th, 2011. No matter what you may feel that you lack today, join us as we not only talk the night my heart was set on fire for passion towards Jesus, but how our God is ready to take you deeper today as well.
Read More“… Blindspots, everyone has them. Some of us don’t know the four walls that we’ve been trapped in...” - Caleb McCoy, “Blindspots”
If there is anything that has been on full display this year, it is the reality that this world is broken. From a global pandemic to the murders of George Floyd & Ahmaud Arbery, brokenness has found us all.

Read MoreNo matter who you are, we all go through situations and circumstances where we NEVER would have imagined that we would be walking through. In the processes of life where we feel overwhelmed and overcome, are we left to just figure it all out on our own? Heavy heart, you are NOT an afterthought. Join us as we have a conversation about the difficult processes of life where we wish that we could just press the skip button.
Read More"What is it that I truly believe?" No matter who you are, we will all have a moment in our lives where this question no longer is in the background of our thoughts, but comes to the forefront of our minds. When we can no longer ignore the questions that rage, how do we respond? No matter where your questions find you today, there is more. Join special guest Todd Vick as we share a conversation about the Grace that can be found in our questioning, searching, and the Light that finds us in the dark.

Join us as we look at seeds, soil, sunlight, and the abundant life that our hearts long for and crave.
Read MoreEver feel as if you are living on auto-pilot…? No matter who you are, we all have days and seasons where we feel sluggish… trapped in a funk that requires someone besides yourself to lift you out of the pit of entrapment that even the best fall into.
