Few truths are more life-changing than knowing who you are and whose you are. We see the power of knowing your identity demonstrated in the ministry of Jesus, and the same secure foundation is available to each of us.
There are some questions that don’t just reveal how you’re doing. They reveal how you’re living.
In this latest episode of Called Beyond, Jamie Winship and Norris Williams share a critical question they’ve learned to ask often—of others and of themselves: What are you afraid of right now?
It’s a simple question, but it reaches deeper than most of us expect.
What if the health of our roots is determined less by what people see and more by what we're willing to bring into the light?
In “The Health of Our Roots” (Called Beyond — S3 Ep6), Tim connects with longtime Novo missionaries Steve Hoke and Myra Perrine to explore Jeremiah 17:7–8 and the hidden work of spiritual formation. Through stories of hardship, healing, vulnerability, and trust, Steve and Myra reflect on how God develops deep roots through authentic relationships.
There are moments in life when obedience to God collides directly with the future we imagined for ourselves. For Will Jones, that collision happened just as his basketball career was beginning to open doors he had spent years working toward.
After years of intense discipline and training, Will found himself playing professional basketball in Europe. The trajectory of his life seemed clear. And then God interrupted it.
What does it really mean to live a life that multiplies?
For many of us, the idea of “multiplication” can feel intimidating—something reserved for missionaries, pastors, or people with extraordinary gifting. But in this episode of Called Beyond, Cynthia Anderson offers a different perspective: multiplication is about ordinary people who remain deeply connected to Jesus.

How everyday obedience produces extraordinary Kingdom impact
In this episode of Called Beyond, Tim sits down with Caleb and Ashley Farnworth to explore what it looks like to live courageously in the ordinary rhythms of life and family. From dental appointments to parent-teacher conferences, their story reminds us that the Holy Spirit is inviting us to partner with the Kingdom work that’s already happening all around us.
What does it look like to live with courage when life—and ministry—doesn’t go according to plan?
In the second episode of Called Beyond Season 3, Tim Shuck sits down with returning guest Darren Prince to reflect on Joshua 1:9 and explore how courage is formed through the steady, reassuring presence of God with us. This episode offers a simple but powerful reminder: You don’t have to have everything figured out. If God is with you, you already have what you need to take the next step.
What does it take to say yes to Jesus when it means leaving comfort behind?
In this first episode of Season 3, Tim Shuck is joined by Cheryl Fletcher and Matt Weston to reflect on Luke 5:1–11 and the moment Jesus called the first disciples to leave everything and follow Him. Together, they share personal stories of unexpected turning points, difficult seasons, and the courage it takes to trust God one step at a time.
