  • Episode 23: Can you love some, and still leave?
    Jul 12 2026
    Some goodbyes are heartbreaking - but they can also be holy. In this episode of Rooted Conversations, we explore one of the hardest questions many of us will ever face: Can you truly love someone... and still leave? We talk about the difference between sacrifice and self-abandonment, why love doesn't always require unlimited access, how to recognize when you're losing yourself in a relationship, and what Scripture teaches about healthy boundaries, forgiveness, and healing. Whether you're navigating a breakup, divorce, a difficult friendship, family conflict, or simply learning to choose peace over people-pleasing, this conversation is a reminder that loving someone doesn't mean you have to lose yourself. Join us as we share honest stories, biblical truth, and the hope that God is still writing your story - even when one chapter comes to an end. 🤍 If this episode encouraged you, share it with someone who needs to hear they're not alone. #RootedConversations #Faith #Healing #Relationships #Boundaries

  • Episode 22: When God Changed Everything ft. Rob & Deena Smart
    Jul 5 2026
    What happens when you fully surrender your life to God? This week on Rooted Conversations, we're joined by Rob & Deena Smart as they share their incredible testimony of how God transformed their lives beginning in 2009. Together, we talk about who they were before Christ, the moment everything changed, the journey of learning to trust God, and how He faithfully led them to Hendersonville, North Carolina, to walk in His calling. Their story is a powerful reminder that no one is beyond God's reach and that He can use anyone who is willing to say "yes." Whether you're waiting on God's direction, wondering if He still performs miracles, or simply need encouragement today, this conversation is for you. "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." — 2 Corinthians 5:17

Noah Kessinger June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month—a time to bring attention to the unique challenges men face and to encourage open, honest conversations. Mental health isn’t just a men’s issue—it’s something that touches every one of us. In this episode of Rooted Conversations, we’re joined by Noah Kessinger for an honest and hope-filled conversation about mental health, the importance of breaking the silence, and why asking for help is one of the strongest things a person can do. Noah shares his personal passion for mental health advocacy and the mission behind the DLK Scholarship, which is working to help people access therapy by removing financial barriers.
