• Diving Deeper: Union With Christ: How Jesus Meets Us Through Word and Sacrament | Ep. 24

  In this Diving Deeper episode, Bethany and Adam sit down with Pastor John Bombaro for a rich and deep conversation about the physical and spiritual intimacy we’re invited into through Christ. They talk about how Jesus doesn’t just love us from a distance, He actually enters into our lives in real, tangible ways. From Holy Communion to baptism to the power of God’s Word, Pastor John unpacks what it means to be united with Christ, not just symbolically, but truly. They walk through John 6, the beauty of the incarnation, and why your body and what you do with it matter deeply to God. If you’ve ever wrestled with doubts, felt disconnected from your faith, or wondered if Jesus could really meet you where you are, this episode is for you. It’s a fresh reminder that God’s grace isn’t just an idea. It’s real. It’s embodied. And it’s for you.

• How We Met: Our Love Story from Kansas to Kauai | Ep. 23

  It all started with a cliff jump, a voicemail, and a Kansas boy on a Hawaiian beach… In this episode, Bethany Hamilton and Adam Dirks invite listeners into the behind-the-scenes story of how they met, dated, and got married.

• Surviving Fire, Finding Joy | Matt Manzari | Ep. 21

  What happens when life throws you not one, but two life-altering tragedies, and you survive them both? Bethany and Adam sit down with their close friend Matt Manzari, a former professional wakeskater whose life was radically changed after two near-fatal accidents, one a catastrophic head injury, the other a 12,000-volt electrocution. But Matt's story isn’t just about surviving. It’s about redefining identity, reclaiming joy, and pointing everything back to the goodness and grace of God. Matt shares how he went from chasing success and sponsorships to finding his true identity in Christ, how trauma reshaped his theology of suffering, and how his family now lives out intentional faith through weekly sabbaths, deep conversations, and wild outdoor adventures. You'll hear his insights on parenting, purpose, and the "unfair" grace of a God who walks with us through the fire.   Guest Bio: Matt Manzari is a former professional wakeskater, current speaker, author, and founder of Beyond the Burn. After surviving a catastrophic accident that shattered his skull and a second incident involving a 12,000-volt electrocution, Matt defied every medical odd and now travels the country sharing his story of hope, healing, and faith.
