Fearless Tips and Talks with Christy Boulware

Send us Fan MailGod Soaked Adoption & Redemption StoryFor more than two decades, Stephen and his biological daughter, Celeste, lived in two different countries with an incomplete understanding of why they had never been part of each other’s lives.Celeste was adopted as a baby by a loving family in Canada. While she always knew she was adopted and remained connected to her birth mother, she grew up believing her biological father had not completed the paperwork that would have allowed him to know her.Meanwhile, Stephen had been told circumstances that led him to believe stepping away was the right thing to do. What neither of them fully understood was how much the other wanted a relationship.In this deeply personal conversation, Stephen and Celeste share the misunderstandings that kept them apart, the letter Celeste wrote to him in her journal at 15 years old, the fears she had to overcome before reaching out, and what it felt like to finally hug each other for the first time.Their story also touches on adoption, infertility, addiction and recovery, forgiveness, fear of rejection, God’s timing, and the decision to stop dwelling on the years that were lost and begin creating new memories together.Stephen and Celeste wanted to share their story so others could see God’s hand in every part of it. Even when they could not see what He was doing, He was still carefully putting the pieces together.Sometimes something incredibly beautiful is waiting on the other side of doing it afraid.A note about the sound: This conversation was recorded away from my normal podcasting equipment. The audio may not have our usual quality, but this moment felt too important to miss. I hope you will listen past the imperfections and receive the heart of this remarkable story.Christy's Book on Amazon Signed copy of Christy's book with personal message shop here Mental Health Coaching info and book here.Do you want to see the video from this podcast?

Send us Fan MailFearless at 10 continues with one of the most radical transformation stories we’ve ever witnessed. Today I’m joined by my friend, Dr. Lauren Jordan — a brilliant chiropractor whose entire life, faith, motherhood, and career were turned upside down when Jesus collided with her scientific worldview.For years, Lauren believed that science left no room for God. Her logical, structured mind struggled to reconcile faith with anatomy, physiology, and the predictable patterns of the human body. But everything shifted when she walked into her first Fearless retreat… and Jesus met her in the language she understood best: science.In this episode, you will hear:• How God used motherhood and the human body to break open Lauren’s worldview • The retreat moment when she heard the Holy Spirit so clearly she got baptized on the spot • How her hunger for Scripture exploded after her salvation • Why she opened her medical clinic to discipleship, prayer, and worship • How she now integrates body, soul, and spirit into her practice • The unexplainable spiritual encounters that pushed her deeper into discernment • The power of obedience and learning to hear God's voice • Her prophetic vision of where Fearless Unite is going in the next 10 yearsIf you’ve ever wrestled with the tension between faith and science, or if you’re in a season of awakening yourself, Lauren’s story will stir something deep inside you.And yes… we talk about the Soul Center dream and the nationwide expansion of Walk With Me.
