  • Your time won’t be wasted

    I learned about Nothing is Wasted when a woman at church suggested the book. Got it and read it - in pieces, because man is it a hard story. Passed it on to another woman at church who is devouring it.

    And then we found out there was a podcast too!!

    We’re both listening to this now, me in the mornings while making breakfast and walking the dog.

    Thank you for sharing the redemption story of your family’s lives. Thank you to your guests for sharing theirs.

    We serve mighty mighty God.

  • Thankful Beyond Words

    This podcast is my lifeline in all seasons—particularly my “impossible.” In my weakness, our God is strong, and Davey’s words—in book and podcast—echo in my mind to point me back to Jesus, time and time again. Thank you, Davey, for your heart for Jesus and for proclaiming His goodness no matter the circumstance.

  • A broken-hearted mom who’s found purpose

    In May of 2020, my husband and I experienced the unimaginable pain of losing our 15-year-old son to suicide. Two years ago, I discovered the Nothing Is Wasted podcast, and I haven’t stopped listening since. Every episode has been a source of encouragement, insight, and deep healing. I often find myself taking notes because there is just so much wisdom shared by Davey and the incredible guests who generously open their hearts and stories.

    As career educators, my husband and I have since created ... more

Episode 437 - Learning who God Is After Loss with Alena Franklin
Q: Will you tell us a little about yourself for folks who aren't familiar with you?
Alena describes growing up in a public faith-filled family, her breakthrough in acting with War Room, and how grief after her mother's death became a defining, formative journey that deepened her faith and redirected her work toward helping others.
Episode 435 - How to Build Deep Community When You Want to Hide from Your Pain with Toni Collier
Q: What is the alternative to isolation in the healing journey?

Episode 431 - Finding Lasting Freedom from Pornography Addiction with Drew Boa
Q: What guidance do you offer someone ready to seek real freedom from pornography?
First, secrecy fuels addiction; find a safe, compassionate community and seek wise counsel on disclosure, especially if married, and then engage in a structured program like Husband Material to build accountability and growth from the inside out.
