In this episode of the ActsSocial Podcast, Shawn Whitson talks with Nick Kunze, host of Next Generation Saints. Nick shares his inspiring journey of how one tough conversation in college changed his life forever and led him to start sharing his faith with boldness.

Nick opens up about how he used to avoid faith conversations — until someone challenged him in public about what he believed. That moment made him realize he needed to know what he believed and why. From there, God put a deep desire in his heart to help others learn how to share their faith with love and confidence.

Today, Nick runs a podcast, speaks at colleges, and teaches people how to ask good questions, listen well, and point others to Jesus — even in tough situations. He shares real stories of talking with atheists, skeptics, and even people who were angry at God.

This episode also talks about why some churches are afraid to go outside their walls and how that can keep people from hearing the truth of the Gospel.

Key Takeaway: You don’t need to have all the answers to share your faith. Just be willing to care, listen, and trust that God can use your words. This conversation will encourage anyone who wants to make a difference — especially in a world that doesn’t always welcome faith.

Tune in and be inspired to live your faith with courage. 🙌

In this deeply honest and inspiring episode of the ActsSocial Podcast, we’re joined by Chris and Lisa Archinal, founders of Relentless Pursuit Ministries. Their story is a powerful testimony of how God can redeem even the most broken of relationships.

Chris and Lisa open up about the pain they endured—infidelity, addiction, emotional trauma, and the near collapse of their marriage. With complete transparency, they walk us through the raw realities of betrayal and the difficult road to healing. But more importantly, they reveal how God met them in their brokenness, led them through restoration, and called them to help others do the same.

Now, through their ministry, they’re walking with other couples navigating crisis, helping them find hope, healing, and reconciliation through Christ.

This episode is for anyone who has wondered, “Can something this broken ever be made whole again?” Chris and Lisa are living proof that the answer is yes.

Key Takeaway:
No marriage—or person—is ever too far gone for God’s grace. Healing is possible when both hearts surrender and allow God to do the impossible.
