Spencer Coffman Lessons from Spencer Coffman on the Rybickulous Faith Podcast Does God still heal today? What does it mean to pray in faith? And how do we trust God when the answers don't come the way we expect? These are questions many Christians wrestle with, especially when facing illness, uncertainty, or circumstances that seem impossible to overcome. This week on the Rybickulous Faith Podcast, I welcomed Spencer Coffman, founder of Social Media Ministries, for a conversa

Have you ever wondered whether the thing you love to create could actually be part of your calling? Maybe you write. Maybe you paint, sing, design, teach, speak, make videos, or tell stories. You know God gave you the ability but you’re still trying to figure out what you’re supposed to do with it. Sometimes we expect calling to arrive with a flashing neon sign from heaven. More often, God seems to reveal it one faithful step at a time. That’s something Christian fiction auth

There’s a question Christians probably don’t ask ourselves often enough: When did my faith become about me? What kind of worship music do I like?Did I enjoy the sermon?Does this church meet my needs?Did I feel something during worship?What can God do for me? None of those questions automatically make us selfish. But when they become the measuring stick for our relationship with God, we may need to examine where the center of our faith really is. That is exactly the conversati

What happens when the life you thought you could control suddenly becomes completely uncertain? Breast cancer survivor and author Keely Burton discovered that sometimes our darkest seasons become the places where we learn just how faithful God really is. “When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away your ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer.” — Corrie ten Boom Those words became much more than a quote for Keely Burton. They be

Have you ever felt God nudging you to share your story—and immediately thought of every reason you shouldn't? Maybe your story doesn't feel dramatic enough. Maybe parts of it still hurt. Maybe you're worried about what other people will think. Or perhaps you've felt called to write a book for years, but fear keeps convincing you that you're not qualified to write it. In Season 3, Episode 6 of Rybickulous Faith, I sat down with Wendy Melrose, founder of Resilience Press, for a

What happens when the thing you do becomes the way you define who you are? For athletes, it might be the scoreboard, playing time, statistics, or whether they make the team. For the rest of us, it may look like a career, income, parenting, ministry, social media following, or the approval of other people. Performance can change in an instant. Our identity in Christ doesn't. In this episode of the Rybickulous Faith Podcast, I sit down with author, chaplain, and mentor Jerry “J

By Sarah Rybicki | The Rybickulous Faith Podcast Have you ever looked at something you've been carrying and thought: “I should be over this by now.” Maybe you've prayed about it. You've forgiven. You've gone to counseling. You've studied Scripture. You love Jesus and genuinely trust God. And yet…the grief still comes. The anxiety still surfaces. The shame occasionally whispers. Does that mean you're failing at healing? Does it mean you don't have enough faith? In this episode

What if the parts of your story that bring you the most shame aren't the parts God wants you to hide, but the very places where He wants to show you His redemption? Lynne Farrell, Founder and Executive Director of Seen and Beloved, knows what it means to wrestle with identity, shame, painful experiences, and the pressure to become who the world expects you to be. Through her own journey with Christ, Lynne discovered something that now sits at the heart of her ministry: freedo

Some stories leave you speechless—not because of the pain they contain, but because of the incredible faith that shines through them. In this episode of the Rybickulous Faith Podcast, host Sarah Rybicki welcomes Jenna Summers—author of Mama Jennifer, missionary, speaker, and international flight attendant—for an unforgettable conversation about surviving unimaginable trauma and discovering God's purpose on the other side. Jenna's testimony isn't simply about surviving hardshi

Some stories remind us that no one is beyond God's reach. In the Season 3 premiere of the Rybickulous Faith Podcast, Mark McHenry shares a deeply honest testimony of addiction, abuse, brokenness, and the life-changing hope he found in Jesus Christ. What began as a search for identity through success eventually became a journey toward discovering that true freedom isn't found in fame, but in faith. Chasing Success While Losing Himself Before founding His Vision Entertainment,

If we're honest, most of us don't enjoy waiting. We want answers now. We want healing now. We want the breakthrough, the opportunity, or the open door as soon as we pray for it. Waiting can feel like nothing is happening. But Scripture tells a different story. God has never been in a hurry, yet He has never been late. Throughout the Bible, we see men and women who waited. Abraham waited for a promised son. Joseph waited through betrayal and imprisonment. David waited before b

"They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony..." — Revelation 12:11 For the first time on the Rybickulous Faith Podcast, I traded places. Instead of asking the questions, I became the guest. My friend, Sara McGrady, interviewed me about the journey behind Rybickulous Faith, the inspiration for my memoir Lost Valley Road, and the many ways God has faithfully redeemed every chapter of my life. This conversation wasn't about celebrating my

By S.E. Rybicki | Rybickulous Faith Podcast What if the exhaustion you're feeling isn't just burnout? What if the discouragement, confusion, and relentless pressure you're facing are part of a deeper spiritual battle? In this powerful episode of the Rybickulous Faith Podcast, counselor, mentor, and author Jessica Cody shares her personal testimony of walking through one of the most difficult seasons of her life. Through spiritual warfare, burnout, and moments when she questio

By Sarah Rybicki | The Rybickulous Faith Podcast Anxiety has become one of the most common struggles people face today, even within the church. Yet many Christians quietly carry anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, and shame, believing they simply need to "have more faith." In this episode of The Rybickulous Faith Podcast, I sat down with Julie Rebboah, MS, Christian Nervous System Coach and creator of Biblical Breathwork™, for an honest conversation about healing from childhood t

Moving Beyond Religion Into Relationship With God | Featuring Marcus Alexander Velazquez What does it actually mean to love God? It's a question many Christians would answer quickly, yet one that often becomes more difficult when we try to live it out in everyday life. We attend church, read our Bibles, pray, and serve others but are we truly cultivating a relationship with God, or are we simply maintaining religious habits? In this episode of the Rybickulous Faith Podcast, a

By Sarah Rybicki | Rybickulous Faith Podcast Have you ever gone through the motions of Christianity—attending church, reading your Bible occasionally, trying to be a "good Christian"—yet still felt disconnected from God? You're not alone. In a recent episode of the Rybickulous Faith Podcast, author and Kingdom Builder Mitchell Beecher shared his powerful testimony of moving from religious performance into an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ. His story serves as a remi

Have you ever looked at your life and wondered why God allowed things to unfold so differently than you expected? Many Christians struggle with disappointment when their plans, dreams, or expectations don't align with reality. We pray, trust, and seek God's direction, yet we still encounter seasons of loss, heartbreak, trauma, and uncertainty. In those moments, it's easy to question God's goodness, His timing, or even His presence. In a recent episode of the Rybickulous Faith

Have you ever opened a Bible, looked at its 66 books, and immediately felt overwhelmed? You're not alone. One of the most common questions asked by new believers, curious seekers, and even longtime Christians is: "Where do I start reading the Bible?" The Bible is the most widely read and influential book in history, yet many people struggle to know where to begin. With thousands of years of history, unfamiliar names, and different types of writing, it can feel intimidating at

There are some stories that remind us just how powerful God's redemption can be. Diane Perez's story is one of them. On this week's episode of the Rybickulous Faith Podcast, Diane shares her journey from surviving 12 years of domestic violence to helping other women discover their worth, reclaim their identity, and find freedom through Jesus Christ. Her story is not just about surviving abuse. It's about healing, restoration, and learning to see yourself the way God sees you.

For a long time, I believed writing a book was something reserved for “real writers.” You know… people with degrees, perfect grammar, polished lives, and a clear roadmap for what they wanted to say. Not people like me. Not people with messy stories. Not people still healing. Not people who didn’t grow up in church or surrounded by publishing and ministry circles. But somewhere along the way, I realized something important: God has never been limited to using polished people.
