The Conversation with Adam Weber

In today’s conversation, Adam talks with one of the most well-known faces in TV, Big Brother host Julie Chen Moonves! Julie is an American TV personality that has served as everything from reporter to co-anchor on several news and talk shows and has been the host of the American version of Big Brother for all 25 seasons it’s been on air! Big Brother fans: in this episode, Julie shares her favorite houseguests and moments from Big Brother season 25, along with why she signs off the way she does. Julie spent the first 48 years of her life ignoring God. In 2018, everything changed for Julie. It was a rock bottom year, but one in which she came to follow Jesus. In hindsight, it was the best thing that could have happened. Listen in to find out how Jesus has changed Julie, what it looks like to follow Jesus with a demanding career in the public eye and how to make a difference in what some might call a (very) secular workplace.

“Follow your dreams” is the self-help message of our day. We are taught to dream big, work hard, and find true happiness in living our dreams. And so we spend our lives chasing after our dreams. But as we do, we can often be met with exhaustion, anxiety, and disappointment. Our circumstances may put our dreams in jeopardy, or even deny them—and then we’re heartbroken. Or we achieve our wildest dreams and are left wanting more! In this conversation, Adam and his guest Wade Joye discuss a different way. Wade served as the main Worship Pastor at Elevation Church (one of the most influential churches in the world) for over 14 years until he loosened his grip on his dream… to consider the dream God had for him.

Over 40% of the world’s population today (which is equal to more than 3 billion people) are still completely unreached by the gospel. This means ​that ​they'll ​be ​born, ​they will live ​and they will​ (literally) ​never ​​hear ​the ​good ​news ​of ​God's ​love ​in ​Jesus! Adam and his guest, David Platt, are both passionate about changing that (and talk about why all believers ought to care about this too). David serves as a pastor at McLean Bible Church in the metro of Washington, D.C. He is the author of New York Times Bestselling book called Radical along with the founder of Radical, an organization that exists to equip Christians to reach the unreached places in the world for Christ. David always shares the difference between the “American Gospel” and the Gospel about Jesus. Get ready to be challenged to get off the sidelines!

For many of us, the subject of healing can be super confusing (& even disorientating.) Does God still physically heal people? If so, why didn’t God heal my loved one? Why don’t I ever see healings take place? Have you ever prayed for physical healing for yourself or someone else and not seen God come through? Same here. Adam sits down with author and his former Asbury Seminary professor Dr. Steve Seamands to talk about why supernatural healing seems absent today in the lives of most Christians and churches… and how we can respond when we may or may not see healing take place. Also, Steve very practically shares how we can pray for healing in another person’s life. Pre-order a copy of Steve’s new book Follow the Healer here: https://amzn.to/3POz05A Thanks to our amazing partners on this episode: Asbury Seminary & Simple Asbury Seminary is a multi-denominational graduate school of theology called to teach the unchanging truth of Christianity.

As an Asian-American woman who has been a preacher since age 19, Faith Eury Cho knows what barriers are present in many churches today. In this episode, Adam & Faith discuss some of the specific challenges Asian-American women face both inside the Asian-American Church and outside of it. Instead of allowing these barriers to limit her, they’ve inspired her to help bring about change. In 2020, she co-founded a church with her husband. She also founded the Honor Summit, a non-profit organization dedicated to equipping and activating Asian-American women for the mission of God. And Faith shares ways non-Asian Americans can help. Adam & Faith also discuss the times of Wilderness we experience throughout life, when we feel separated from God’s presence. Faith shares her powerful wilderness story and asks the question, “What if the purpose of our wandering is not to reach the Promised Land but to recognize that God is with us in the desert?” Pre-order a copy of Faith’s new book here: https://amzn.to/45YhcvJ Get Carey Nieuwhof’s FREE guide called 4 Steps to Engage Your Church Around Money and Generosity here: engagegenerosity.com Thanks to our amazing partners on this episode: Tommy John & Vern Eide Tommy John has thousands of five star reviews for a reason!

Adam is back with another honest conversation around faith, Jesus, and the Church. These are questions that many of us (Christians and non-Christians) have that maybe we’ve always struggled to answer or maybe we’ve never had the courage to wrestle with. Adam is joined by a live audience and Justin Brierley. Justin is a freelance writer, speaker and broadcaster from England who has become known for creating dialogues between Skeptics, Christians, Atheists, and non-Christians. Justin is passionate about creating honest conversations around faith, science, theology and culture. They tackle honest questions around: Is Christianity and faith a way to “cope” with life?
