In this episode Jake + Nicci were again supposed to discuss Jakes recent traveling to Europe but go sidetracked discussing what influence actually looks like and why we settle for building movements instead of marriages. The reality that we would rather discuss politics and governments instead of marriage and family shows where our values are and that we believe we can change the world through cultural influence instead of submission to family.

Darren Wilson is the Founder of Wanderlust Productions, a film/television production company that focuses on creating media that creatively and powerfully advances the kingdom of God around the world. Darren’s films have been seen by millions around the world. His first five films, Finger of God, Furious Love, Father of Lights, Holy Ghost, and Holy Ghost Reborn have helped change the spiritual temperature of the worldwide church. He is currently working on two new films and a variety of television shows. Darren has also written three books, Filming God, which details his journey out of skepticism into faith in the supernatural; Finding God in the Bible, which is a book about friendship with God; and his latest, God Adventures, which details some of the biggest lessons he’s learned over the last 10 years of filming God in action. His new movie the GOD MAN will be in theaters June 6 for one night only. In The God Man, focuses on the most famous person in history, Jesus Christ.

This week Jake Hamilton interviews one of his longest standing friends, Micheal Miller; father, husband, business owner, he helps lead MARKED a non profit organization that works to empower, educate and strengthen communities in Latin America with his wife Jaclyn (who is the CEO of the organization) as well as sharing financial wisdom and opportunities through his new venture The Dead Presidents Club which you can find on all social media sites. In this episode we explore how our story defines us regardless of whether or not we want to engage with it. Eventually we find that ignoring it doesn't work, that it seeps up through the very ground we walk on, through very conversation and interaction, how we see the world and how we view others. To ignore it is to do so at our own peril. Micheal and Jake explore some of Micheals story, his experiences with bio dad and step dad, abuse and rejection and what we can do today to engage with the pain and find healing that we can offer ourselves and those we love.

Jake + Nicci Interview two of their amazing friends Tommy + Krissi Green and discuss the difference between a "love break" and a "trust break", as well as how do you raise a stepchild with the influence of a former spouse that you don't agree with and when teenagers decide to rebel against the love and sacrifces you made for them. Tommy + Krissi currently live in Salt Lake City where Tommy (former lead singer of Sleeping Giant) works as a Realtor for his “day job”, while singing for his new musical expression HOLY NAME, but more importantly they work together building Run Against Traffic, a non-profit foundation focused on raising funds for the long term aftercare of human trafficking victims.
